Louisville, .. Miles Alfred, for the muir

yesterday, in the presence of a large crowd
Of people.
Louisville, 3. In the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal churches of the
south, Bishop Paine read an address from the
general conference of Great Britain, sending
fraternal greetings and reviewing the fact that
the abolition of slavery removes the cause
which has prevented the English church from
before seeking inter communication. 1t con-
tinues at is to us cause of thankfulness
that nothing exists to prevent intercourse be-
tween your conference and our own and we
pray that both churches and both countries
may be firmly united by concord and to one
unity. We believe you with US firmly hold,
the great Christian truths which we have both
received in common and that you are striving
to spread living religion amog your own
people. For ourselves, we trust we have not
ceased to hold fast the form Of the sound of
words which has been handed down to us in
the presence of subtitle scepticisms on the one
hand and Of an increasingly audacious sacer-
dllodism on the other. 1t is our duty and we
trust 1t is our endeavor to earnestly contend
for the faith and delivered by the saints our
country is being blessed at this time with I'M
wonted visitations of the divine spirit. Stun.
bering churches have been aroused, apathy
has been rebuked and we live in expectations
OF yet better days" The address gives the
figures as to the increase Of Methodism in
Great Britain and closes with prayer for the
churches in this country.
