the Ministry.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It is our pleasant
duty to chronicle another accession Of
a worthy woman to the ministry. One
by one the old fossilized gates of the
church are opened, and woman per-
mitted to take on herself, in answer to
the Masters call, the sacred office of
Christian minister; and God grant
that she may ever wear her mantle
worthily.
u The ordination OF Emf B. Swank in
the ministry, or the 81 Of this month,
was made an impressive and beautiful
ceremony by the Miami Christian
Conference, at its annual meeting,
hsad at Newton. Ohio, last week.
Elder Sinington, in his introduce
tory at the ordination, remarked that
the Conference was about to join in a
very unusual performance in their
church-the ordination of woman to
the ministry-that he was one of the
oldest ministers present, and had nev-
er participated in such an ordination,
but he thanked God the time had
arrived in their church that their sons
and daughters both should prophecy
and preach. The candidate for ordi-
nation then knelt, facing the audience.
The Reverend old minister kneeling
by her side, fervently implored the
blessing of God upon her spirit and
her work, laying his hand upon hel
head in compliance with the ancient
custom of the church.

lege, then gave the charge with de

teals to the eyes of many men ant

Elder McTalboch, President, gav'
the right hand of fellowship on behal

hearty welcome, that left lasting i'm

The State Convention.


We would not attempt TO dictate to TIC
State Central Committee; but we may ex-
press tho hope that the Democratic State
Convention will be convened at least week
before our city election which takes place on
the first Tuesday in September. 1t could not
be called too soon So far no movement has
been made toward electing delegates in Kent
and Sussex. They are doubtless there waiting
for the appearance Of the call of the Conven-
tion. which. in 1872. also appointed the day
tor selecting delegates
While on the subject We may state that the
Committee who have charge OF the State
House have had a correspondence on the rub
Ject Of its being used for this purpose, and
have arrived AT tae conclusion that it may be
~ used if the furniture and carpets are not
abused
The State House belongs 10 the people and
Il the most appropriate place for the political
conventions to meet if they are assembled at
Dover. On the Present occasion We presume
the carpets will not be down, or the new fur
mture in place. Ard III that case the old
benches and desks will answer.
Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived the call for the meeting OF the Con-
vention at Dover, on Thursday, the eth inst.
The call will be found at the head of this
column.
