close. delivering an address at the mis-
sionary anniversary on Sunday night,
preaching at the Dryades Street German
Church on Sunday morning, and effectively
representing the interest OF the publishing
house before the conference. The confer
ence was delighted with his visit, aud
adopted the following resolution express
ing their appreciation of lis presence:
Resolced, That this conference has been
pleased with tina visit of Rev DR., bedford,
our general conference book agent; that we
have greatly enjoyed his efficient ministra.
tions. and shall at all times be pleased to
see him at our annual convocations.
Rev. DR.. e. E. Wiley. president OF Eaory
and Henry College, Virginia, was also
welcome visitor. The old friends of Bishop
McTyeire, in New Orleans, were rejoced to
see and hear him once mere, and the con
ference was, of course, most happy to greet
him as their presiding bishop, and to renew
with him the associations of other years.
But one preacher had died during the
year-the loved, lamented, gifted John
wilkinson. Atthe missionary anniversary

Rev. j. T. Dawes and DR.. Redford. The
