the recent Rebellion, and finally concluded by

=. After Bishop Clarke took his seat, Rev. Mr..
kymett, Of the Iowa Conference followed with
lew remarks. He made special reference to
the condition of the Church in the States lately
In rebellion, and SAID that it was the intention
OF the Society to make Tennessee base of ope-
ratlons TO carry on their work of carrying out
the interests Of the Church throughout the length
and breadth OF the South, Every member of
the Church mas an interest in the Church. The
speaker compared the Methodist Church
throughout the land with grand army-it had
It's main centre and its various branches, whicn
consisted ofmssonary societies. Sunday Schools
etc, al working Tor the one grand obect-the
spread OF Christianity; that the machinery OF the
Church meant that they should capture the entire
world Tor Christ. The force would have to be dis
trlbuted army-hke in order 70 insure the success
desired. II they could succeed in planting
them' elves firmly in the lately rebellious States
there would be no future dlsoyalty there. Other
speakers who had preceded him had given such
full description of the wants and trials of the
South, he would not descant further upon them
lie was OF the opinion that the South was not
the only neld for present operations. There was
a great work to be done in the Northwest. The
large and steady incfease Of the population in
that locality, the &eaker said, warranted him
in saying that it wks.a field from which great
benefits could be reaped. He was confident that
at least S2Oc,00O could be raised there for the
cause il the work was properly pushed forward.
In closing, he entreated his hearers to use every
eXertlon to aid in the great and glorious project
The address of the Rev. Mr.. Kymett was fol-
lowed by an eloquent address from Bishop Kings.
ley. HIS address was OF an exceedingly interest
ing character. He said there should be no distinc
ton of color, or other distinction in preaching
the gospel. He heard a man say, some time
ago, that he believed that God poured out bless
lngs quite as freely before they had any
churches as he does now, and he did not think
He could do any more If they erected buildings
Tor worship all over the world. The speaker
said he did not differ at all with man, for he
considered that God always done good wherever
lie found persons trying 10 override evil. But
he thought 1t very poor argument to talk of
going back to the old plan OF preaching out of
doors, when the Church was so far advanced.
He concluded by referring to the false outcries
pei who are trying to evangelize the South. At
the close OF the address the DoXology was sung,
and the meeting dismissed with a benediction.
