VIM. Doughty addressed the Conference
In relation to the periodical interest of the
West.
The Conference moved to request the
Superintendents to hold the session of this
| Conference about the first of October.
1t was moved that after the sacrament of
the Lords Supper had been celebrated, and
the appointments read, that we adjourn
| Carried.
After the Lords Supper had been admin
istered the Bishop said !:
have been exceedingly gratifed at the
deep Christian feeling which has been mani-
tested among US during the present session.
God has been here and l trust brethren
that as you enter your new fields of labor
you will go with hearts newly baptised with
the Divine spirit; and with higher re>
solve than ever to consecrate all your pow
ers to Christ, and that you may in your
coming years labOrs, witness greater proofs
OF Divine power than you have ever seen
in the past.
L never announce the appointments of an
Annual Conference except with deep emo.
tons. | know how my brethren feel in
view of the future /: you 20 trembling, and
yet l trust you go with strong faith in God.
Some of you will go to see Affections in
your families; some preachers may be re-
ceiving their last appointment. Before the
year expires, they may be called on high,
and hope, brethren, that as you 90 from
this place, whatever may be the result, you
will maintain your fidelity to God, and ex-
hibit proofs that you are men of God,
wholly devoted to His work. 2.e ,
My brethren will allow a remark in re-
gard to the relations you sustain to each
other. Many OF you will 60 to new fields
of labor you have it in your power to es-
sentially aid your brother. How unkind to
make remark that will afflict him who
follows you. Now it is possible that an
injudicious word may hedge up the way of
him who succeeds you, which may require
| weeks, and perhaps months, to remove. At
once pave the way for your successor,
pray that your successor may be just as
good minister and pastor as you have
been. A kind word-a Christian word
just at this time, may be worth thousand
words at any other time.
God bless you, my brethren, and fully
prepare you for your work, and when you
assemble next year, may you come with
tonOuS VI SoOuucsS anO glauneSS, ana your
hearts rejoicing in the success of your
labors.
