THE METHODIST MINISTERS.

Yesterday was devotional day with the Methodist
ministers. Some of them reviewed events in their
own lives and experience In that OF their churches
and In the nation during the past year, and re-
solved to do better and be better for the year be-
lore them. Interesting reports OF the Watch Night
services were given by many OF the preachers.
Pastor Hedstrom very properly magnifed the Scan
dinavian work here and IN Northern Europe.
Twenty-nin years he has held Watch Night SER
vices in the Bethel ship. and last Wednesday night
this place was crowded and souls were converted.
Between 5000 and 1000 Scandinavian ships have
come to this port during the past year, and not
one OF them returned without taking on
board some messenger OF the Gospel Father
De vlnne, q veteran in the ministry, very
briefly but Interestingly referred his conversion
in Albany N. T., GA years ago. He had been an
opponent OF MethOdism but had been trying to find
CHRIST. Curiosity took him into q Methodist Watch
Night meeting where he heard q recently converted
80 moved him that ne was awakened, and IN a
short time thereafter was converted. Other testi-
monies and remarks were equally interesting.
Reference having been made TO the memorial to
Dr. Emile COOK, OF Paris who barely escaped from
the Vile du Havre, DIR. FOss announced that he, as
one OF the committee appointed last week, had re-
ceived $95 and had promise Of $50 more. but IL
was necessary that what the brethren intended to
do they should do quickly, for Pastor Cook lost
DR.. Wheatley was appointed to talk next Mon
day on what, II any, new features are necessary in
our preaching to meet the demands OF the new
questions spring up around u.s.

EPIsOoPAL1AN CHURCH CONFERENCE.

The EpscOpalian ministers held their regular
Church Conference yesterday afternoon In the
chapel OF the Church OF the Incarnation, corner OF
Madison avenue AMI Thirty fifth street, the Rev.
Dr. Rowland presiding.
After the reading Of the minutes OF the previous
Conference the Rev. DR.. Ryland was designated to
prepare paper on the position the Church should
take toward amusements, the essay to be read at
the next stated Conference. The committee hav-
ing In charge the subject OF concerted action
among the Episcopalian pastors in the duty OF
caring for the poor ana distributing to them the
aims given by the congregations reported strongly
IL favor OF decisive step this direction, but did
not present any plan yesterday prelerrng to lea
the selection Of the means to be employed to the
united wisdom Of the Church. The committee
was instructed to request the Bishop OF the
diocese TO call public meeting Tor the
general consideration OF the question. From the
would seem that there Is constantly being at.
tempted upon clergymen OF all denominations the
grOssest imposition by persons seeking the chart
ties belonging TO the churches. Tie object to be
gained by this united action Of the Episcopalians
Is to prevent continuance OF this fraud and by
securing system and order, to be able to donate
some OF the moneys not needed In the Weather
parishes to the poor In less favored districts
lengthy paper was read By the Rev. DIR. Wash
read by that gentlemen at one OF the recent Evan.
gelical Alliance meetings. At the conclusion OF
the reading OF the paper an interesting discussion
took place. the ideas expressed being all intended
TO eiuctdate the intricate objections urged BY ra-
tt0naltsts and materalists to orthodox religion.
