great success Of Rev. Geo. l.. Shearer in teaching
the contrabands and others In this District:
Therefore,
Resolved, That we present our sincere thanks
TO the American Sunday School Union for their
gift, and to the American Tract Society for the
deep interest manifested for the intellectual and

RsSo!rsd, That we recommend all our travelling

stephen Smith said II the Conference adopted
the resolutions, they would do more than the
disciples, for they baptized by the, side Of the
river.

was the church. Pending this discussion the

the guard demonstrated with Jenkins. when he
struck the sergeant two succe sIlve blows, and
