Vermont Conference.


Methodist Episcopal Church met at Wat
erbury, April Is, and adjourned on the
evening of the 10th.
During the past year that part of the
Conference known as the Burlington Dis
trict has been re-ceded to the Troy Con-
ference, so that the Vermont Conference
at present only covers the eastern part of
the State and the western portion north of
Burlington.
Bishop Edward Thompson presided, and
X. Morgan was chosen Sec.
The numbers in the Society are about
10000. Collected for benevolent purposes
nearly $500.
Six young men were ordained to the
work of the MINISTRY, and the various re-
ports exhibited coed degree of prosperity
during the year. 'e q
The session was one of great harmony
and enjoyment, the preaching and other
public exercises contributing to the spirit
ua as well as intellectual improvement Of
the members.
The services of the Sabbath were es-
peeially interesting. The love feast, the
sermon of the Bishop, and those of other
noted ministers, and the address of Rev.
E. W. Parker in the evening, on his ex-
perience as missionary to India, made
the day one long to be remembered.
Some of the most prominent ministers
have left the Conference this year, while
others from other conferences have come
to this. .... .
In future the names of Isaac McAnn,
b. A. Titus, Fl. +. Austin, II. X. Cobb,
j. Gill, etc, will be missed from the roll
Of Conference, and others take their places.
However, the work will go on.
There is considerable scarcity of min
listers, and the earnest prayers of the men,
bers were offered to Almighty God to
g send forth more laborers into the har-
vest"
The hand Of death has laid low two
excellent ministers, Revs. p. n. Granger
and L. Pettinglll, while sickness has pros
trated Rev. WI. Kidder, a most success
full laborer in the past.
Provision was made for a Methodist
State Convention, composed of ministers
and laymen.
The Vermont Conference Seminary and
Female College was found in promising
condition and The Conference pledged its
best efforts to increase the attendance of
students.
