LAY REpRrsENrAT1oS-The Pittsburgh
Adyocate calls attention to the coming vote
on Lay Representation. 1t remarks that
The vote will inaugurate new era in
Methodism. In no former period has ques.
tion Of the Kind been put to vote throug ghout
our societies The step is novel and yet a
very commendabe one. We lead the other
great denominations in the democracy of the
movement. None Others wo believe have
ever referred questions of Church polity to
the people. Metbodism has the honor of
initiating the movement
The question soon to be submitted to the
laity will also be brought before the ministry
in the Annual Conferences of 1862. Op-
portunity will thus be given to compare
notes, and see whether the ministry or laity
is most trcturcd with the spirit Of lay rep
resentation. We confess that we shall wait
with some impatience the statistics for ma.
king the comparison. It will help to settle
a matter long differently regarded by differ.
ent classes. The ministry has brought
about all innovations in our Church polity, }
has been the cry of cur conservative party
for years. The ministry responds the
class Of progressives, has retarded all need
cd improvements in our Church polity.
Both parties cannot be right. 1t would be
amusing to find both wrong. And this will
not be TAR from the fact should the ministry
and membership in about equal proportions
favor lay Representatives.
lions Herald says:
The Conferences in New England were
the earliest to secure anything like fair
representation of the Iaity in their bodies, by
system just as liberal as could possibly be
engratted on the present Discipline. We
hope that the lay members in this part of the
country will not be behind their brethren in
speaking their mind now upon this subject.
Many Of the Conferences nave specified the
day on which the election shall be held, but
none of the Conferences in New England
have done SO, except the Vermont Confer
ence, which has ordered the ministers to pre-
sent the subject to their congregations some
time in the mont Of September.

He should be in pcril-woud his old Illinois
friends remember him in their prayers and

For him he knew no official promotion.--
When man has served twenty.seven years
in company with these men as pastor in our
Church, there is no higher position in this

conflicts and victories. You will remain here,

The War and Slavery.

Slavery has much to do with the present
war upon our Government, and there is no
reason Why this fact should be concea'ed.-
Under existing circumstances, the only prop
er attitude of the Government is that Of hos
tility to Slavery. This is the only consist
cnt course, ard one that will meet the respect
and support Of foreign governments, The
London Watchmam shows how the bearing
Of our war on Slavery affects the English
mind. That, in fact, is the capital point to
which the English people look, in order to
decide how far they can sympathizc with Us.
The WatcAman referring to the Confsca.
ton Act OF Congress, says -
AS yet we have no reliable account of
this measure, but it has been described as
containing clause to the effect that When
ever, during the present insurrection, any
person held to service or labor that is, any
slave shall be employed in military or ma
val service, cntrenchments, etc., the person to
whom such labor or service is due shall for.
teit his claim to the same But, if the mas.
ter forfeit his claim to the labor Of the slave,
who else can have any claim and is not the
bondman free? Such clause must produce
intense excitement in those Border States,
which are not lost to the Union, and must
strike terror into the Planting States We
wait for confirmation of an enactment so full
of hope but so little expected. If true, it
is the beginning of the end, tho dawn Of
great troubled day, which at eventide will be
light. 1t is the signal Of Emancipation.

Chaplain Haney's Remarks to his Confer
enCe

At the recent session of the Illinois Con-
ference the presiding elders reported general
prosperity among the districts. Rev. Rich
ard Haney, who had been absent from his
post on chaplain duties in the army, address.
ed the Conference.
When he began says the North West
eyu Adrocate, to represent his district, all
whispering ceased. He said he now stood
before them in different relation from that
of the past He had received twenty seven
appointments from the Church, and had filled
them as best he could. Fifteen years, with
only break Of two years, he had done dis
trict work. He had gone on as usual for
three quarters Of the year, when he was
called into the service Of the country as
chaplain of the Sixteenth Regiment Illinois
Volunteers. Had accepted after the advice
of his brethren of the district and the con-
sent of Bishop Baker. He had been in
Missouri. Had full faith for the triumph of
our cause in that State, though secession vii
ainy had made it the battle-ground of the
Southwest.
He had also hope for Mcthodism. For
the first time in many years Methodist
preachers are IN Missouri The days for
men and churches favorable to treason were
rapidly passing. Reorganization had begun.
There is such a sympathy with US now as
never was before. Instead Of our men COM
lug from Missouri, we should prepare to send
them reinforcements. Not one OF our mem
bers or preachers has been found among
traitors. The people are turning toward us.
He would go from his brethren uncertain
to see them again. He should share the lot of
hisfellows in camp and rebel marksmen have
no sympathy for chaplain. but would as

A Coon ApPo1NTMENT.--Zio Horald

A Coop Appo1NrMENr--Zions Horald
says:
His Excelency, Governor Berry, Of
New Hampshire, has appointed Hon. E. F.
Porter, of Boston, Agent for the sale Of Lii
quors TO the Town Agents in New Hamp-
shire. Mr.. Porter is the Commissioner for
Massachusetts to attend to the same business
in this State and has conducted the business
so as to secure the approval OF the friends of
the Prohibitory Law, and Of the agents in the
various towns. He takes the utmost care to
have only the purest articles, suitable for
medical purposes, and sold only according to
the strict provision of the law. We see no
reason why New Hampshire might not avail
itself Of his services, and We think the
friends of Temperance particularly, in that
State, will be grateful to Governor Berry
for his judicious appointment.
The public have been greatly dcfrauled by
agents for the sale Of liquors which were not
reliable. We have before learned from good
authority that E. +. Porter, OF Boston, is
just the man for his business, and worthy Of
the patronage of the friends of Temperance.

From the Christian Messenger.
Army Reform.

We published in our issue of last week.
the general order of Gen. Mcclellan to the
soldiers for the better observance of the Sab.
bath. We are confident that this order has
been read with gratitude in all the loyal States.
Many praying hearts have been made sad by
the dissertation of the Sabbath in our army,
and especially by the notorious disaster which
followed from the Sabbath attack upon the
Rebels at Bull run. Every enlightened con-
science takes the side of the Christian Sab
bath, and all men know that triaing with sa-
cred time is mean and dangerous. So long
as our armies we're outragiug the moral sem
timent Of the country and Of Christendom,
by making the Lords day the special season
for marchings, parades and battles, the hope
of success was dying out of the heart of
thoughtful! men, and a sense OF shame man
tied many loyal face. All this is instantly
changed The heroic young General, toward
whom so many millions turn, as, under God,
the hope of our country, has spoken the word
for which the country waited, and which wipes
out our reproach, and treasures our faith
And it is uttered with a heartincss suited to
kinde the enthusiasm of Christian citizens,
and to endear the name of Mcclellan to all
ranks Of military service.
Under this arrangement for the observance
of the Sabbath, Christian men will the more
cheertully enlist in the army. One serious
obstacle to cnlstments has been the demora i
lied condition Of the troops. Parents and
friends have been reluctant to subject young
men of good moral character to the ordeal Of
camp-life, so long as that life was understood
to be Sabbathless, and Of course immoral.
But, with new and better regime, under
such considerate and humane commanders as
Gen. Mcclellan, and with the discipline he
has inaugurated, Christian parents will give
their sons for the army with some hope that
they will not be ruined for time and eternity
within their own encampmonts, whatever may
be their peril from hostile bullets.
On every ground, We regard this radical
army reform as one Of the most important
and wide-reaching Of the events of the war,
1t will furnish an element Of thanksgiving for
the day Of national humiliation just at hand.
1t will give new impulse to the observance of
the Lords day throughout The nation. 1t
will furnish grounds OF nope that God will
return to US with blessing, as we seek to turn
to him iu the spirit of penitent obedience.

A NOVEL MODE TO DETERNJNp DUTl

A NOVEL MODE TO DETERMINE Duty -
The Newport, (R. H. Nacs tells story Of
d young man who had enlisted, and who wont
to his mother, widow, with his certificate.
for her signature. She, not being willing
for him to 60, withheld her consent; but final
ly, after much persuasion, said she would
agree upon one condtlon--that her soa
should thrust his finger at random through
the leaves Of the closed Bible, and the ian.
guage Of the text upon whichit rested should
decide her action in the matter. He did as
she requested, and his finger where the Bible
was opened, was found resting over the 10th
and 18th verses of the Goth chapter of II
Chronicles. The tenor of the verses (whica
the reader will please turn up) was such as
to induce the mother to consent to her sous
enlistment
