BiShODS.

bishops.
MEMPHIS, MAY j.-The General Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was called to order
promptly at 9 o'clock by Bishop Paine,
of Mississippi. After the usual relig-
ious services, and prayer by Bishop An
drews, of Georgia, and the reading Of
the minutes Bishop Pierce, OF Georgia,
took the chair. The roll was called,
and all the Bishops were present except
Bishop Early, of Virginia, who was sick.
The Standing committee then an
nounced that message was received
from Bishop Early stating he hoped TO
he with the Conference before it, adj
iournment
Special committees were appointed
on the Orphans Home, Revised Hymn
Book and Finance
The address of the Bishops was then
read by Bishop Wightman. The adj
dress, after counselling moderation in
the deliberations Of the Conference,
paws an eloquent tribute to the memory
of Bishop Soule, deceased says, despite
poveoty, persecution even to strifes and
death in some portions of the country,
ministers have been faithful to the views
of the church and steadily advanced;
refers to the introduction of laymen in
conferences; refers at length to the
baneful effects of fashionable worldly
pleasures; contrasts the present genera
ton with the past; urges upon minis
tiers to urge upon their charges the
necessity of family worship; sets forth
that the number of young men offering
for the ministry was wholly inadequate
to the demand of the church; urges
that steps be taken to remedy this, also
to improve the literary publications Of
the church, and to improve the relig-
ious condition of the colored people,
and to dissipate the teachings of those
who had sought to array them against
uswhich had steadily suceeededand was
now progressing finely, especially in the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
The address Is brief and pointed, and
was listened to very attentively. The
address was responded to by the vener.
able DR.. Pierce, of Georgia, father OF
Bishop Pierce, who showed that in the
spiritual condition of the church the
great work to be accomplished was
Paramount to their end, and favored
the union of the early Wesleyan Socie-
! ties. -.--... 4.
The Bishops address was then re,
ferred to an appropriate committee. :,
The special committee of five clerical
five lavmen, together with the Bishops,
were appointed to prepare pastoral
letter on the subject of the spiritual In
terest of the church, and the various re-
ports submitted were appropriately re
ferred.
The Conference then adjourned ii
order to give the committees time tc
organize.
