REV. DIR. GREENE.
Rev. DR.. Greene, of the Wesleyan
Methodist church, was introduced and pre-
sented the greeting of Canada to the
United States, also of the Wesleyan church
of the Dominion to the whole Methodist
family ON this continent. He spoke of the
pioneer work of one of the "giants of
those days" Freedom Gasettson. lie
spoke of the union movements among
Methodist families in Canada and of the
recent occurring going on between the
Methodist churches, north and south. If
he had the authority he would put the hand
of Bishop Kayanaugh into that of Bishop
James, and after going through the wedding
ceremony would say, "What God has
joined together let no man put asunder.
| The growth Of the Canada Wesleyan
/ church has been rapid. At the outset only
one hundred and forly-four dollars was
| given for missions: this year one hundred
thousand dollars had been laid on the table
of the Lord for misslans. One-fourth of
/ the people Of Canada return themselves as
| Methodists, and about one-half of the
church edfces belong to the 'pcople called
Mcthcdisis" He gave good account of
| his own experience, and closed uttering
| many noble wishes and sentiments. Then
followed hymn and silent prayer FOR the

BISHOP KAvANAUGu
was then introduced. He was profoundly
impressed with these services. He thought
the two Mcthodisms were twin sisters. For
the last eight or nIne years the church
south had been doing good work. The
speaker said he had spent the happiest week
Of his life at Round Lake. The bishops of
the church south were worked to the top of
their ability, and in attending the district
conferences he had found great neglect
among the people-an that was family
religion. lie had becn for Il long time, in
the work, and had many of his mistakes
corrected. All his remarks were very
happy; the large congregation were happy
also in their appreciation.
bishop DoGGETT
of the Methodist church south was intro
duced. He had just arrived, and was
fatigued with the journey. He thought it
in the order of providence that he was
present. He came perfect stranger from
the far south, and felt timid at first, but he
had no sooner landed on the ground than
his fears vanished. This was because OF
the genuine christian spirit so manifest, the
generous hospitality, and the common
language of our common Methodsm. All
his remarks showed how generously he re
ciprocatcl all kind of feeling. A hymn Of
unity was sung, and silent prayer followed
for the church south.
