WeStern u. Protestant, of the 13th inst.
published at Springfield, Ohio:
Session Of the Muskingum Conference.
We enjoyed the privilege of attending
the recent Session of the Muskingum
Conference. 1t was held at the village
OF New Salem, on the east edge of FAIR
field county, and Immediately adjoining
Perry county. The place being twelve
miles from Lancaster, on the South, and
some Is or more miles from Newark, on
the North, soma inconvenience was ex.
perOpced in reaching there from the near
est railroad points. But this was well
compensated by the generous hospitality
Of the citizens, who besides their atten-
tions 10 their guests, manifested partic-
ular interest ia the proceedings of Con
ference, many Of them suspending all
business to attend constantly upon its
sessions.
We were highly favored in having our
entertainment with the kind family Of Mr..
S. Baker, near the NJ. P. Church, in
connection with our old friend Br. Mar
shall, the President. The Conference
did a most creditable thing in the yGelec-
ton ofthis brother, by vote almost unan-
iiDous, for, a more ardent friend TO the
Church Gnd The cause Of Christ holds not
place in our ranks. The statement of
the Secretary, Br. Earl, shows an encour-
aging increase, and indications of prospe-
rity generally. The exhibit of the Con-
ference Steward we think will also show
that there has been great improvement in
the support Of ths ministry: Last, but
not least, we have to say that the good
brethren Of the Muskingum Conference
did better than a. any previous fession
for the Western Methodist Protestant,
the receipts for the paper on the occasion
amounting to some $275,0O.
A precious. noble set of brethren, whom
our soul loVeth, is embraced in this Con.
ference. May God be with them, and
give them success and enlargement the
coming year.
