FRIDAY the goth October 1876, 12 O'Clock
noon, the Colonial Council he'd an extraordinary
Meeting. The Governor and the President were
present.
The following Members we're absent viz:
lat and Bird Crownmemhers Dubois & Percy
3rd Member for Christiansted's Country Dis
trict FarroIlyI 1st Member for Fredariksted
Sarauw and LIST Member for Frederiksted's
Country District [FIemingI, who had reported
their inability to attend.
The Chairman notified, that he had received
q communication from the Presidency dated
gosh inst. according to which Mr.. james Alexan.
der Moore had been elected as 4th Member tor
Frederiksted's Country District instead Of the
deceased Mac William.
Mr.. Moore was present and handed in hS
patent of election, which was examined and
found in order.
After Mr.. Moore had signed the prescribed
formular of oath, the Chairman proclaimed
him duly elected 4th Member for Frederik-
sted's Country District, and entitled to a seat
and vote in the Council.
The Chairman then rose and said As
honorable Members are aware, this meeting has
been convened at the request Of His Excel
lency Governor Garde after his return to these
Islands. Before, however, His Excellency
takes the word, he had on behalf of the Coun'
oil to wish His Excellency welcome back to
the West Indies, to his Government, and es-
pecially here to st. Croix. 10 doing so it was
a pleasant duty he had to perform, and the
pleasure he felt was, he was sure, only q true
expression of the pleasure felt not only in the
Council but in the whole community, at His
Excellency's return. When four years ago we
first welcomed His Excellency to this Island
and this place, we knew,-for his fame had
gone before him-that we welcomed q man
with an endurance not easily to be tired,
and Of uncommon energy, a man whose
habit it was to discharge what duties his
responsible position assigned him, with an
earnestness not to be surpassed. When,
afterwards, We welcomed His Excellenoy on
his visits to St. Croix. we did so not merely
because we as good citizens were happy at
having the Governor amongst US; but We
welcomed him heartily and earnestly, because
on each occasion we saw and felt that the
object of those visits was n serious and earnest
one. He, the Chairman, needed not to retrace
the history of the years Of His Excellency's
Government, and point at the two pages, the
dark one, inscribed Dry Weather, the bright
one. inscribed Central Factories.-Let Us hope
thas in the course OF years We may tear out
that dark leaf.-Nor needed be remind hOnora.

He suggested that uniform hour ought TO be adopted
for holding the Ia all schoolsfom two TO half

should be the study OF the Scriptures better class
OF teachers should be secured II discipline cannot DO

rather than In the church the Sabbath day Every
thing that does tend TO the purpose OF the
school should be excluded and there should De as
little as possible 10 do with prizes and rewards IL
would be we'll 10 separate the library from tho Sunday
school and to have church library open
on week evening, and the best men and women IN the
church should take an interest in the school AS few

thought, would be good thing.

In the eye OF the law In regard to the election OF
trustees church members OF both sexes and members
OF congregations have right 10 vote provided they
contribute TO the current expenses OF the church And
basket collections come within the meaning OF contr
buttons In Brooklyn, however, members OF the
church only may vote. Trustees cannot legally mort
gage church property without the consent OF the
Jory OF the church members, nor can they sell
without the consent of the church and the civil
courts Trustees who refuse statedly to attend the
church meetings hold oice and their places
may be declared vacant But they attend the church
meetings they may absent themselves from the Official
meetings and yet hold olco until fresh election should
give relief The trustees have charge OF the tempo
rates OF church, but they must hold all funds for
the use OF the particular church by which they are
elected They cannot divert 1t TO any other purpose
When they sign bond or mortgage on the church
property they become personally responsible The
proper way to sign such legal documents is by the
porate Of the society, with John Doe President
TRUSTEES MUST BE MEMBERS
OF the church society IN which they hold office and
when they lose their membership for any they
lose their Office ALSO Previous 10 the act OF 1875 a
congregation might change its and denomination

and could take the church property with IT, But this
cannot bo done now without the consent of court

some other States Christianity is part OF the common

MOODY AND sANKEY.

The usual crowds attended the Bppodrome meetings
at noon, four p NJ and eight p n. yesterday. There
was goOdly attendance of worklngmen ut tho noon
day neeting, and the inquiry rooms were well
attended. Mr. Moody was surrounded with number
OF ministers, among them Rev. DR.. Ormston, Rev.
Dr. Hepworth and Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick. Rev. DR..
0rmiston has been quite constant in his attendance at
these meetings recently and aided Mr. Moody very much
in his work. His prayers very effective, and his
short discourses the point and touch the
hearts OF his audience Rev. Dr. Hepworth as usual,
read the requests Tor prayer from numerous sisters
aud mothers for their brothers ana sons and from
wives for their husbands that they might be brought
to Christ Mr.. Moody spoke on the subject Of "Un-
belief -
In the afternoon meeting, at which 5000 people
present, his subject "The Holy Ghost, the
Comforter" He explained the personality of the Holy
Ghost and how necessary il was 10 call on Him II the
sinner denied Gods spirit TO pervade him and have
that peace aud JOY which all those who wish 10
accept Christ should have In fact, every one
who was converted was converted by the
power OF the Holy Ghost. Mr. sankey sung the 12sth
hymn, 'Come holy spirit heavenly dove" In tho
evening the Madison avenue hall illed and there
was overflow meeting IN the Fourth avenue hall.
Contrary 20 his usual custom Mr. Moody did not repeat
the OF the afternoon, but took his text from the
Nth chapter OF Second Kings, and told the story OF
Haman, the leper, who cured by dipping seven
times In the waters OF the Jordan. He told II IN
homely, taking way and made the Bible narrative
quite familiar 10 his hearers After the meeting there

After tho admirable address Of Bishop Foster on Mon

ference rendered him vote OF thanks Bishop

the Conference last night but he failed to come

pastor Of the Eighteenth street Methodist Episcopal
church, read able essay the questions, 'why
do so few children attend the preaching OF the Word ~
and why are so few adults In Sunday schools ~
In answering the nrst question he believed long
and dull the chief cause Ho
did not advocate special sermons 10 children,
because that which is interesting and ineligible
to the average OF adults will be- go to tho average
class Of children And the stories that will interest
the one win also interest the other Another reason
for the nonattendancc OF children Is tho number Of
meetings they have to attend the Sabbath lfthere
arc two sessions OF tho Sunday school they must
spend three more hours 10 one room and u is too
much 10 expect them 10 stay to preaching also and
MAINTAIN any degree OF quiet Another reason is the
loose actions and practces OF churchgocrs who act
IRON impulse and not from duty, and 90 TO church
when they please Such irregular habits inevitable
In large cities when we have many Sabbath meet
ngs and the people choose between them, caring

In this matter fhc sunday school never take the

question Mr.. Terry deemed two tcssious OF sunday
school together preaching and prayer mertingA
on the Sabbath great strain on Tie lime OF great

as an independent anar and not part and parcel
