LAY DELEGATION.-Tuesday, the 22d
inst, was the day appointed for the Shelf
field and Wheelock circuit, of the NJ. f
church to vote on the question of lay del
egatiOn. The day was very rainy and but
a small fraction of the membership were
present-sixteen. Of these, five voted il
favor, and eleven against lay delegation
Whether a majority of the membership
throughout the country will vote in favor
of the proposed change is doubtful. AS
general thing, the members of the NJ. E
| church have been satisfied to let things re
main as they are. The law making powe
of the church has heretofore, and now, il
vested in the General Conference; body
that meets once in four years, and who's,
members are the representatives of thu
travelling ministers and not the lay elemen
of the church. Should a majority of tn,
membership throughout the connection
vote in favor Of the change, and two-third
of the Annual Conferences concur, lay del
egates - the real representatives of tn
rank and tile of the church-will be per
mitted to take part in the deliberations ant
