Rev. J. II. Lightbourne, of the Dover
NJ. E. Church, in the course of long letter
to the St. Michael's (Md.) Comet sa5RSsa;-7=s,
For many years haze questioned the. ex-
pedience OF holding camp meetings. ~ Tho
necessity for holding them, was inclined
to think had passed away. !, But thisa CAM
den Union Camp Meeting has convinced me,
that If properly conducted, camp meetings
may still be ofgreat advantage to- the church,
On these occasions we can command the
best talent of the church, we can unite, and
concentrate the influence, and labors Of sew
eral appointments for a given time, and on
special objects. The managers united with
myselfin prohibiting all contro Yetsies. The
preachers INDUCED in no theological or 9th
er kind Of discussions, aand the people tre-
Trained fromall politioalc controversies. One
feeling seemedto peryadei all of Gods peo-
pie, and that was to get good and toasdo
good. All distinctions seemed to be lost.-<
The daughter of the Governor Of Delaware
"a beautiful and amiable youpg girl, knet
at the mercy seat with the humble mans
daughter, and last Sabbath morn;ng Lreeeiy-
ed her along with those who arein the hmm
BILE walks of life, within the pale ofsthe
Church. This is indeed the glory of. Meth
odism, its adaptation to all classes Of society.
o how many thousands OF the poor outcasts
of society have been rescued from ,destruc-
ton by the Methodist Church, The Metho-
dist Church is now no longer confined to the
poor, but thank God she does not neglect
the poor. The Governor, andg yhancellor
of the State, are both prominent members
of my church, but the most blessed, news
have to impart of my church Il, thaE her
altar is nightly crowded with humb|efpeni-
tents seeking the pardon of their sinsuaL
Two memorials addressed to TIE next
General Convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church are in preparation, asking the
repeal OF modification of certain existing
canons. One relates to the canon which had
application in the Tying case, which forbids
the officiating of Episcopal ministers within
| certain territorial limits of parishes. Other
| than their own, without express permission.
| The other refers to the canon which, stands
nearly related to the Hubbard case, which
respects the officiating of persons not minis
tiers of the Episcopal church, 1tdis respect
| fully asked that these canons beirepaaled. or
modified These memorials are, signed by
