Conference. That body having retained
its jurisdiction over conferences previ-
ously existing in such territory. and hav-
ing directed the Organization If addition
al conferences, it becomes our duty TO
arrange the districts, circuits. and sta
tioDs. and 10 superintend them as an in
tegral part Of the church. As the result.
we have six annual conferences which
are wholly or in part in slave territory.
These conferences have white church
me bership, including probationers. OF
more than l43 600 with the attendants
upon our ministry, making q probab BILE
population of between five and six hun
bred thousand. They have a colored
me mbership. including proba TONERS. of
more than $4,000, with the attendants
upon our ministry making a proba bic
population Of upwards Of a hundred
thousand. A portion Of this population
are slaves The others are mostly poor.
They are generally strongly attached to
the church Of their choice. and look to il
confidingly for ministerial services, re-
ligious sympathy. and all the offices of
ship of these conferences, in respect 20
intelligence. piety, and attachment to
Methodist discipline md economy, will
compare favorably with other portions of
the church.
In our judgment the existence Of those
conferences and churches under their
present circumstances, does not tend 10
extend or perpetuate slavery. They are
known TO be organized under a discipline
which characterizes slavery to be great
evil; which makes the SHAREHOLDERS ineli-
gible 10 any official station in the church
where the laws of the State in which he
lives will admit Of emancipation and per-
NIT the liberated slaves 10 enjoy freedom;
which DISTINGUISHES a travelling minister,
who by any means becomes the owner Of
a slave or slaves, unless he executes, if it
be practicable. legal emancipation Of
such slaves conformable to she laws of
the State in which he lives; which makes
ii duty of all ministers 10 enforce upon
all the members the necessity of teach
ing their slaves TO read the word of God.
and allowing them time to attend upon
the public worship Of God on our regular
days Of divine service; which prohibits
the buying and selling of men, women
and children with an in Intention TO enslave
them. and inquiries what shall be done
for the extirpa,ion Of the evil of slavery.
With this discipline freely circulated
among the people, or certainly within
the reach Of any WHO desire TO examine
il. and with other churches existing in
the same territory without these enact.
ments, these societies and differences
have either by elective affinity adhered
to. or from preferences associated with
the Methodist Episcopal Church. In a
few instances their church relations have
exposed them TO some peril, erd in nu-
merous cases TO sacrifices. But such
have been their moral worth, and chris
tan excellence. and prudent conduct. !ha,
generally they have been permitted 20
enjoy their religious immuniiies and serve
and worship God according TO their con-
sciences.
