MEAPHIs, May l1.-At the Methodist Con-
ference to-day Bishop Jones, Daniel, Curry,
Levy, Scott and others, OF the Northern
Methodist Church, submitted memorial to
the Southern General Conference as follows:
Bv the action ard authority of the Gen.
erai Conference held at Chicago in 1868 we
were appointed q commission to cooperate
with q like commission from the Church
South on the subjec, OF union.
A commission met in Philadelphia in 1869,
when resolutions were adopted approving
of the action of the contemplated union OF
thu two churches, but it is proper to make
this further communication.
The appointment of this commission
shows that, in the judgment of the North
ern Church, there is not sufficient reason
why a Union may not be effected on honor
able terms. Hoping that you may all see
the subject in the same light, and that you
may appoint similar committee to confer
| with US previous to the conference to be
| held in 1872, and praying that you may be
prepared, and in all that pertains to the
| welfare Of the Christian Church, and desir-
| ing your prayers in behalf of the church.
| This letter was referred to a co mittee OF
| nine. It is thought the proposition VIII DO
approved.
