GENERAL CoNFERENcR OF THE M. E.
CzuRcH.--Iu May, the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the
North will be held in Buffalo. 1t will be
one of the most important conventions ever
held, as we understand the slavery question
is to be agitated. There will no doubt BE-
considerable excitement, il the question is
started in the phase it is intended to be, i.
e., no member of the Methodist Episcopal
denomination is justifable, and although he
may be mere member, and own them, yet
itincapacitases him from being an elder, class
leader, or minister. Another important
question that will be brought into the Con-
ference, probably, will be that Of Lay Rep
resentation both in the General and State
Conferences. The membership of the de-
nomination are beginning to claim their
right to share in the deliberations and
decisi ons of those bodies whose action
becomes yearly more important and e1-
tended. s.5 7rf-sfve3r, .s. ,.-.-.-..r.t
