In full sweet chorus the strong voices
Of many ministers Of Christ blended the
grand prayer Of the hymn, and sen. it
upward on the wings of love to the throne
OF the Heavenly Grace. Then followed
'he prayer; and such q prayer. OF full
ness, OF earnesness. as included all that
we needed and wished, by Dr. Lovick
Pierce. His long and illusrious life, the
thought that, possibly. We should not
again hear his voice, made that breathing
OF prayer doubly precious. Then came
the benediction and the session of the
General Conference Of tbe Methodist
Episcopal Church South. so marked by
important themes and legis alton, and
equally characterized by harmony and
good christian fellowship. ended, as it be-
