OEfiAACE, srpt- 1%tu7 IOIO-
DEAR JEFF. The Central Ohio
Conference Of the II. L. Church. conf
merced its 17th Annual Session in this
city the 9Th of this month Bishop L.
r. Ames Presiding. The roll call,
showed that Methodist preachers are
as prompt to answer at the bar OF
the conference as TO fulfill their own
personal engagements, but few were
absent. But there were two who had
responded to the roll call from the
other shore during the year,
and passed over to join the gathering
hosts on the other side-Rev. Abel
N. Cozey, and Rev. George P. Gra-
ham. Three of the ministers wives
had also died-Mrs. Gray, wife of Rev.
David Cray, of Findlay, wife E. a.
Beny Of Lima, and Mrs. c. G. s. Reed
erof Yaalue. Rev. Marshall Howison
who went to tie Eoclzey Mountain
conference two years ago, was retr1ns-
ferred. And Rev. J Mexican was
transferred TO the Columbia confer
ence, and Rev. r. B. Pope WIS trans
fered to the Detroit Conference, and
stationed at Amarbor Michigan. The
Sabbath services were very interesting.
Bishop Ames preached in the morning,
and although considerable over seven
ty years of age, exhibits a large de
degree of intellectual vigor. Although
it is perceptible to those who have
known him intimately, that bis mem
ory is becoming quite uncertain. Rev.
Denial Garry D. D., of New York.
preached at three o'clock, sermon
of great strength and beauty, a most
wonderful presentation Of the absolute
Holiness of God as the season Of his
command to men, BE il Holy even as
God is Holy" The business OF the
conference was speedily and jiarIno-
niausly transacted. aud Ten minutes
past t'velve o'clock Monday, NJ, the
appointment, were read, the Doxology
sung, the apostolic benediction pro
nounced, and one hundred and fifty
men, carpet bag 10 hand, repaired to
their new fields of labor, or returned
to their former ones for another accle
siasticle year.
