DIsrRTcT CONFERENCE.-The Winchester
District Conference of the NJ. E. Church
South, convened at Brucetown, Frederick
county, Va, on Tuesday afternoon, the 3lst
ultimo, at o'clock. This body is composed
of all the ministers in the District, with three
representatives. from the laity from each sta,
ton and circuit, numbering in all abou.
seventy members. An organization simply
was effected on Tuesday and the opening
sermon delivered at night by DIR. Saml Rog-
ers. of Winchester Station. The body is not
endowed with legislative powers. but is only
Edvisory-henee the business is made up of
hearing reports from the several appointments
covering the items of church spirituality,
Sabbath schools, missionary contributions,
financial progress, condition of church prop
erty, and arrangement of the work within the
bounds of the district. 1t embraced two co.
tire days, Wednesday and Thursday. made up
principally Of interesting reports from the ap-
pointments in which preachers and laymeu
took pa-t, showing on the whole progress and
q healthy condition, interspersed with spicy
clashing of sentiment
Resolutions were offered by Rev. Neel, of
ShePherdstown, requesting camp meeting
committees hereafter not to permit huckster>
ing booths aud the sale of edibles and Injuries
on the Sabbath-rcquesting the P F. not to
supply with preachers those camp meetings
which will not adhere to the spirit of the res
olution. Also another resolution suggested
by Rev. N. Wilson. that if practicable camp
meetings be not held on the immediate line of
the railroads, were passed by decided MAJ
jority.
IL was to be regretted that very few more
than half of the entire body were present, the
absentees being chiefly laymen; inasmuch as
some of the good people of that vicinity were
disappointed, having prepared aud expected
to entertain the delegates. The deliberations
of the body during the day and preaching at
night by the clergy were largely attended by
the people, who seemed to enjoy the services
very much. Messrs. S.~Fleming, of Jeffer.
sam. Larrick and holland, of Frederick, and
Mccoy, of Warren, were elected delegates to
the next annual conference. Messrs T. John.
son, G. Licklider, Cockrell and Rickard, al
terDates. The body was entertained most
Hospitality. After a very pleasant and har-
mouious session it adjourned sine die, having
resolved to hold the next meeting at Berry,
vile, Clarke county, Va. T.
