ference Of the Methodist Church
Ihe consideration Of the report OF the Com

ference voted TO Insert In the Book OF Discipline
the form Of marriage ceremony reported by the
committee episcopal marriage service and
form found in the Discipline or the service now
adopted.
The committee to which was referred the
union with the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, reported resolutions THAT this Gem
era ersi conference sincerely regret the action Of
estant Church, and will as sincerely deplore The
exuncuon or disintegration OF this old and hon
ored Conference, and earnestly appeal 70 them
90 preserve Their Conference integrity and eccle-
siastical relation TO this body.
Lynchburg, Virginia, was fixed as the place
ior holding the next session Of the General Con-
The consideration Of the report of the com-
mittee charged with inquiring into the action of
the several Annual Conferences in the matter
OF investing the General Conference with con-
venuonal powers, and TO report what Confer
ences had voted for and against q convention,
was resumed. The question at issue was whether

North Mississippi-total, II. Not voting-Ten-
nessee, North Carolina, Georgia. Not heard
from-Missouri.
From the foregoing il would appear that two
thirds OF the Conference had voted i'm favor OF a
convention. But here the difficulty begins.
Ihe committee in their report leave out the
flatte District, and say that there was no evi-
dence before them of the existence of such a dis
Iict. IL win be observed that III Platte District
is added to the list of Conferences not voting the

Mr. Peoples, who had voted In the Affirmative
ior that purpose, moved a reconsideration, and
hev. W: n. Wills moved 10 lay this motion on
the table, and upon the discussion OF the latter
motion there was an exhibition of considerable
ill-temper.
