The various pastoral reports developed
facts in relation to the many interests
Of the Church, and the connection between
pastor and charge, highly profitable.
Taken as a whole the reports exhibited
good condition, spiritually and financially.
! The reports from committees on Parson-
ages, Ministerial Support, The State Of the
| Church, Denominational Education, Reli-
gious Literature, and Temperance were
good papers, and evidenced careful prepa-
ration, and their adoption must be produc
tive Of benefit.
The opening sermon Of the Conference,
on Wednesday night, was preached by the
Rev. T. s. Daniels. The Rev. A. G. Worlcy,
Of the Georgia Conference, occupied the
pulpit on Thursday night, the Bishop on
Friday morning, the Rev. J. NJ. Carlisle at
night, and on Saturday night by the Rev.
Lucius Belliuger-the strange preacher.
On the Sabbath, the exercises we're opened
by Love Feast at 81 o'clock, with crowd
cd Chnrcb. We simply state that this oc-
casion was most refreshing. The Bishops
sermon in the morning drew & Vast crowd
Of people together. The discourse was q
beautifully appropriate one. In the after
noon the Sunday School children, and al
other large gathering OF people, were ad-
dressed by Bishop Wightman, the Rev. ".
W. Mood, and the Rev. W. II. Fleming,
and several beautiful hymns sang between.
In the evening the closing sermon was made
by tie Rev. Manning Brown, and was
touching and afTec,ionate appea! to the peo-
pie to repent, from the text eff the right
eous scarce DC saved, where shall the uu-
godly appear" The practical results Of these
sermons was the conversion of one young
lady, aud tile sur ounding Of the altar by
mary young penitcntS. Ard thus closed
the first district meeting held in Newberry,
an occasion we trust Of great good TO the
Church and the people generally.
The religious exercises continued from
night to night will leave an influence OIL
the community, which, if not Immediately
seen or felt, will it is hoped show fruit in
the future.
The next meeting will be held in Green
wood, from Which place message had been
sent that if the Conference consented to
grant her the honor Of its next meeting,
that the clergy and lay delegates to any
number would be received with open hearts
and extended hands, and We doubt it not.
The following arc the lay delegates and
alscrnatcs elected to attend the next gene
raj Conference DeIcgates-T. S. Norman,
J. J. Mcdaniel, Robt. Ycargin and II. II.
,,1erpcr; altcrnatcs-T. F. Harmon, H. T.
Wrist, J. g johnson and J. s. Chipley.
With A,:ing appropriateness the following
