the beginning of n great move that Will add
strength, unity and adaptation 10 Methodism
wherever Its ministry, worker and literature
shall publish tho name OF the Lord Jesus and
unfurl the banner of the Cross. But not only
has It boen blessed to universal Methodism,but
has especially been blessed to us as an indi-

us known In the mother country and better
known In this. 1t has placed us in n proper
light before the world, and given US our
rightful place In history, and especially the
history OF the Methodist Church. 1t has In
duced more friendly ana closer relation with
the Church that set us apart. and inspired the
people Of this country with love for our we'll
being that could scarcely have been under any
other circumstances, and is opening for us
great highway to triumph and Anal success In
accomplishing the work which the Head OF tho
Church hath appointed us to do. Hence, we
rejoice that God hath put 1t Into the hearts of
his people to assemble In such n conference at
such q time and place.
Now, dear brethren, we trust that peace, har-
mony, wisdom and moderation, and the spirit
of Christ, will characterize all OF your legisla-
tion and proceedings In the present session of
the General Conference. Feeling assured of
this, we look forward TO increased devotion to
the cause OF Christ, the permanent success OF
the Church and the redemption OF the people
from vice, ignorance and irreligion; and tho
best of all is, God is with us.
