Bishop Jones, Daniel Cur1J, Levi Scott, and
others ct the Northern Methodist Church, submit
ted memorial to the Southern General Confer
cnce. as follows, signed BIZ them:
''By the action and authority OF the General CGn-
ference at Chicago, In May, 1868, We were ap-
pointed commission to cooperate With like
commission from the Church South on the subject
OF union. At meeting OF the commission In
Philadelphia, November 70, 1864, resolutions were
adopted approving tho action contemplating
union Of the tE0 Churches but 1t Is thought proper
to make this further communication. The ap-
pDtntment OF this commission shows that, in the
Judgment Of the Northern churches, there is not
sufficient rcRson why the union may
not be effected .0u honorable terms.
Hoping that you may see the subject Ia the same
light, and thAt {on may appoint similar commit
tee to confer with Us previous to the next General
Conference, In 1879, and praying that you may be
p1ospeIel In all that perttns to the welfare Of the
Christian Church, and desiring your prayers In
behalf Of the Church we represent, that We m1y
share like prosperity, we AT, - DC.
The committee Of nine to which this memorial
is referred consists OF the strongest men In the
conference here. It Is thought that tho proposl-
uon viii not be approved
