The general Convention Of the Meth
odist Protestant Church, after i ha'mo-
NOUS sessi>n, at Montgomery, Ala, ad-
iourncd sine die, on the 1Tth 'll'imo.
Il is believed that a union between
this body and the Mother Church-the
Episcopal Methodist-wilI b. happily con-
suumated at no distant day. Our :ea J.
ers are doubtless all acquainted "ith the
causes that produced the separation. Il
is now considered desirable for Method
ism and Christianity in general that the
breach he healed sni the Church united.
Twas resolved at The late session.
''lSt. That the convention take no de-
ci$ive action at this time, but that the whole
Suhjec. be held in abeyarce and under ad-
yisement by the several annual conferences,
calmly awaiting the development and indi-
cations of Provid, nee.
''2d. That a commission, consisting OF
one uCHtbrr from each conference here
represented, elected by each delegation in
this convention, be appointed TO meet the
commission Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, on the first day OF May, 1868 !;
in the meantime the several annual confer
enceS of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South and Methodist Protcstan; Church
may consider as many Of the disagreed, 8
propositions between the two commissions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church South
and the Methodist Protestant Church as
they may seem proper, ahd submit the re
sui! 10 their respective commissions. Then,
il msiortv OF the commissioners OF the
Methodist Prote,tant Church decide that,
il their Judgment, tn" propositions submit
ted to them are sufficiently favorable, they
shall publish in the Mprhodist Protestant
newspaper call :or this Convention TO
meet in the city of Macon, GA, on the last
Friday in May, 1868, anu, ifit deems !;
proper, to conclude any proposed union.
