BARNEsvILLE, BELMONT COUNTY, o.,
FRIDAY, March 18, 1864.
Conference met at the appointed hour.
The religious exerci cs were conducted by
Pardon Cook. g..
N. M'Abee, superanuate, desired to
be made effective, and addressed the Con-
ference in favor of such an appointment.
On motion the request was granted.
The committee on the State of the Coun-
try made the following report; which was
unanimously adopted.
"The return Of our Annual Session finds
our country still struggling with the terri.
BILE and wicked rebellion which for three
years has been desolating our land, and send
ing sorrow and anguish into innumerable
homes and hearts: -fa ,@-
1t is highly fitting that as a body of
christian ministers we..should re affirm our
unalterable fidelity and allegiance to the
government, and our decided purpose to
look with disapprobat:on upon all in COM
munion with US who either maintain an at
,itude of oppositon-or of miscalled neu>
trality-to the Administration of the coun-
try. 1t is Just as true in relation to this
great national contest, sit is in regard to our
molly christianity that che who is not for
US is against us" Duty therefore demands
that we should openly, cordially, vigorously
and yet with the exercise of wise discre-
ton, give our utmost support to tn, gov
ernment in this time of deadly peril to our
civil institutions and liberties
1t is a matter of deep regret, and OF just
ly merited condemnation that anv should
be found eitherin the ministry or member
directly give their influence in favor OF
armed and murderous treason, or fail to do
all that true christian patriots ought to do
to foil its efforts. Such course is in di'
rect violation Of those principles and pre-.
cepts-which the Divine Word reveals
and the Methodist Discipline recognizes as
obligatory upon US; therefore Sr-
l. Resolved, That we cannot, as Con
ference, withhold our emphatic condemna
ton of the conduct of any in the ministry
OF membership of the Church who have Civ
EN-, or who may give just cause of suspicion
as to their loyalty to our Federal Govern
ment
2, Resolved, That we return sincere and
hearty thanks to Almighty God for the
favor which he has shown to our righteou!
cause during the past year, for the signal
and important victories granted TO the
arms of the nation, and for the rapid anG
unparalleled spread Of the true principles o.
human liberty. -
"Rssolred,' That We have andiminished
confidence 10 the wisdom and ability of,the
administration, under God, to suppress the
rebellion, and that We pledge our earnest
prayer, and our. continuous and Jealous eff:
forts for its support, until the great purpose
shall be fully and triumphantly consum-
mated" ~ 1EFt .
