subject of education They report tina
there is no college within the bounds o
the Conference for the education of young
men connected with the church, and bu
one for the moral and religious culture O
young ladies the Wesleyan Female In
stitue at Stanton.
The Randolph Macon College was en-
dorsed by the Conference as a suitable
place for the education of the young mer
of the church, the committee appointed
at the last Conference having made ia
vorable report thereon.
The hour having arrived for the funeral
services of the late Bishop Soule, the
Conference adjourned,
A large congregation was in attendance
at the funeral services. Bishops Pierce,
Early and Dogget occupied seats in the
pulpit The funeral discourse was dcliv-
cred by Rev. Loring Pierce, Of Georgia,
now in his eighty third year, and was a
most impressive sermon.
The Rev. DR.. A. L. p. Green, of Nash
vile, Tennessee, followed. lie was pres
ent at the death bed Of the lamentcd Bish-
op, and gave a thrilling picture Of his last
moments. He bore to the Baltimore Con-
ference almost the last wish of Bishop
Soule, which was wish for the individ-
ual prosperity of every member. DR.. I.
B. Sargent followed in few remarks,
and concluded by reading an original
anthem.
The venerable Bishop Early followed
in prayer, but became so much affected
as to be unable to proceed, and the inter
esting ceremony closed by singing the
doxology.
