Mr.. Brooks don't ask Elder Jones,
Superintendents, Bishop or Clinton to judge
for me.
Mr.. s. r. Jones ST. don't think broth.
er should be doubted.
Mr.. Brooks nterruptingl--I doubt
you. Sensation.
Mr.. s. Il. Jones-I think the brother
doubts himself at times. I shall not handy
epithets with him. He is good at that, as
we all know: yet no one has the right to
contradict a minister to the extent as to
call him liar by implication or words.
Laying aside Christianity, it is endecorous,
nndignifed and ungentlemanly, and should
not be INDUCED in on this floor. 1t is not
right when brother rises before this body
and denies in solemn manner charge to
aver that he lies / don't believe he would
do it, Then it is improper, ungallant and
ungentlemanly to imply that he stated a
falsehood.
AT this point the members became much
excited, amidst which Mr.. J. p. Thompson
moved to lay the resolution on the table.
Carried. A request was read from an Of
fetal Board of the Wesleyan Church, of
Harrisburg, asking for the appointment
of Rev. David Stevens to Wesleyan
Church.
j. A. Jones moved Mr.. j. P. Thomp-
son in the Chair that vote of thanks be
rendered to Messrs. Bishop and Gin ton,
Superintendent, for the able, dignifed and
impartial manner in which they have pre-
sided over the Conference. Carried unan-
imously. Thanks were rendered to the
official Board of Wesleyan Church and the
citizens of Harrisburg generally for the
hospitable manner in which the members
of the Conference have been entertained in
this city. Thanks were also given to the
reporter and to the editors of the patriot
and Union" for publishing the proceedings;
to the Secretaries for the satisfactory and
efficient manner in which they discharged

The appointments being made, the Su-

importance of their mission and the re-
sponsibilities they are abot to assume. AT
ter some unimportant business, the Confer
ence adjourned sine die.
On the Sabbath preceding the adjourn
ment, Rev. p. Thompson preached in the
white Methodist Church in Harrisburg, and
Rev S. L. Jones and Assistant Superin-
tendent Clinton in the Vine street Metho-
dist Church white to large congregations.
The Harrisburg "Union" says of the
preaching of Messrs. Jones and Clinton
"Many of our citizens from the upper por-
ton Of the city were present on both occa-
sions, and expressed themselves as highly
gratifed with the discourses of both Di-
vines. Mr.. Jones is plain, forcible, prac,
teal and convincing orator. Mr.. Clinton
is an eloquent, pathetic, graceful and
pleasing speaker. Mr.. Jones passed his
early life in this place, and, at an advanced
age, was laborer under several of our
bricklayers, but by study and discipline
he has become one of the ablest ministers
in his Connexion.
