ence this morning. Bishop Harris aunounc-
ed the committee on John street church, n.
Y. and TO nominate trustees TO I'LL vacan-
c'es in the board of trustees of the Methodist
Episcopal church. K. y. Haven, OF Central
New York, submitted the report OF the COM
mittee to which was referred the bishops
pastoral address. approving the address and
recommending that IT be read in churches
ceived and ordered printed in the daily
Christian Advocate. Mr.. Reid, OF Michigan,
from the committee on memorial services OF
the committee recommending that Tuesday
next, at 1i:30 o'clock, be fixed upon as the
time for holding said services. Adopted.
AN AFRICAN BISHOP WANTED.
c. O. Fisher, of Georgia, presented a me-
mortal, signed by large number of cOlored
ministers, setting forth the fact that there
were In the M. f. Church $50 900 members
OF African descent, and asking for the cleo
ton of a bishop. The memorial was referred
to the committee on the episcopacy.
]. G. Hartzell, of Louisiana, submitted the
nual conferences:
ON THE COLOR LINE,
signed by about 400 persons of Louisiana.
Whereas some conferences and brethren are
advocating the organization OF white con-
ferences and cOlored conferences, and the
recognition thereby of the distinction of
color, and with it cause prejudices In the
kingdom of God; and whereas we have hith-
erto, since the advent of freedom to the col
ored race, worked together as brethren in
the bonds OF christian fellowship aud In a
happy self sacrificing toll for the Master; and
whereas our labors in this spirit of union
have been acknowledged and blessed of the
Lord until we have grown from q small
plant into vigorous and fruitful vine. aud
IL the present happy orderis left undIsturbed
we may hope for yet greater blessings and
prosperity, and whereas we see no good and
sufficient reasons for the proposed separa.
ton, and we do not think that any OF our
colored membership desire such a separa-
ton; therefore we wish it understood that
the proposed separation OF the races in
conference relation is in our judgment un-
wise, and we humbly pray your honorable
body not to approve or adopt or in any way
recognize such separate conferences on the
