rhe r1clhodIst General Conference

This supreme judiciary of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church in the United
states will meet on the LIST of May in
Chicago. 1t will be composed of nine
bishops and two hundred aud thirty
1--WE delegates, representing sixty-eight
annual conferences, chosen in the pro-
portion of one for every thirty preach
ers, members of the annual confer
snce. The whole constituency num-
bers about eight thousand ordained
preachers. There Will also be several
visiting representatives from similar
bodies In England, Ireland. France,
Germany and Canada. The session
will last about month, and will settle
all questions and arrange all affairs
pertaining to the general interests of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
1t is expected that several additional
bishops will be chosen to meet the
rapid Increase of the work. All the
official editors, the secretaries of the
several boards, the management of the
extensive publication business of the
church, and other general officers and
agents will be chosen by the General
Conference.
Several important questions will
have to be determined in regard to the
organization of the missionary work
abroad and in the Southern States, the
extent of their operations and successes
making a more simple and vigorous
management necessary. But the most
important and difficult part OF the bust
ness relates to fundamental change
in the constitution of the body, which
has been agitated with great zeal ever
since the last meeting in 1854, by the
admission of the laity to an authorize
tive voice in the contest OF church af-
fairs. Hitherto the authority of the
church has been wholly in the hands OF
the travelling preachers, as they are
called, and iT is supposed that the great
success of Alcoholism in their hands
speaks we'll of the ability and fidelity
OF their management. But now ther5
is a wide desire for a change.
In the founding of Methodism, MI.
Wesley retained autocratic authority.
The preachers whom he appointed,
came only as helpers, and were reqnir-
ed to obey implicitly his directions.
All the chapels were dedicated to him
Before his death he executed trust
deed, irrevocable and unalterable,
transferring his entire power to self
perpetuating body OF one hundred
of the English Wesleyan Conference
remains entire. In this country he Or
ganized the his followers, after the
American revolution, into an Episco-
pal church, for whom he ordained two
bishops. The extent of territory rem
dered 1t necessary TO divide the work
into annual conferences, with a dele
gated general conference meeting quad
rennialIy. This constitution Is subject
to alterations, by vote of the general
conference, ratified by major part o.
tbe annual conference. And it is tC
make "a most radical change in this
very theory of Methodism that thu
present agitation is directed.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1868-04-28
same principle. be encouraged

same principle, be encouraged or

Many Of the most promising chill
dren are sacrificed to desire to bring
them forward in advance of other chill
dren, and this desire is stimulated by
natural instincts. Every living crea-
ture rejoices in the use of the faculties
which God has given 1t 'as strong man

bad. in which hs can stir himself. To
such q one study is punishment.
E'sBut the boy whose muscles are fee
BILE, and whose brain is largely devel-
oped, sits still and reads, and the appe-
tite OF course conforms to the kind and
musles by exercise, his appetite will
demand the muscle making nitrRths To
supply the waste II he exhausts the
phosphorus of the brain by study, he
Will desire phosphate food to restore
it, While the fat and stupid boy, who
has neither muscle nor brain, will
crave corbonaceous articles to feed his
stupidity; and the indulgence in these
appetites will Of course increase the
