CLARKDuRo, October 0.-Yes,erday wat
o great day in Clarksburg, I was told by .
citizen OF this plnce that there were more
people in attendance on divine service
than Tor the last six months all told. Tht
people from the surrounding country began
to arrive curly and Ind almost filled the
church before "the conference experience
meeting was over. BY the time the hour
for preaching had arrived it was simply a
jam at the NJ. L. Church--gallery full,
aisles full, vcstibule full, The high expcc.
tations Of the people were fully met by the
Bishops sermon He preached on the
subject Of 'Divine Providence" The ser.
mon was among the most able ever deliv.
cred 10 this conference, and the impression
made was profound. At the conclusion Of
the sermon candidates for Deacons orders
were called and received their ordination,
In the afternoon Dr.. Pain delivered n fine
sermon on the "Extent and Ground Of tho
Believers Inheritance" The DR.. is one Of
the great preachers OF Methodisn, and the
sermon yesterday afternoon fully justlies
the high merit accorded him. After the
sermon the elders were ordained. There
were services held in all the the Protestant
churches ofthe city and surrounding coun.
try. a Sunday School meeting was held
in the NJ. Z. Church and was addressed by
Drs. Iorner and Elon Foster.
&iii d MONDAY MORNING. s4
s The conference met at the early hour OF
"a o'clock and business was hurried
through rapidly. Tho preachers at this
writingare moving about uneasily as il not
altogether prepared for tkeir appointments.
Some OF the preachers look sad. It is un.
pleasant to feel that your services are not M.
preciated by not receivinga good appoint.
ment when it is expected. Some cases OF
Of hardship will no doubt be made. We
hope the brethren will bear their disap.
pointments meek!y and patiently. !.
2 Collections were taken up for the secre-
taries and the sexton. Tho collections
were lnrge. = -. 4 4;
DR.. Pershing addressed the Conference
on behalf oil. the Pittsburgh Female Col.
lege.
The Bishop has risen to address the Con-
ference in brief address, preparatory to
the reading OF the appointments. This is
a moment OF supreme interest TO the min.
listers. Some know already where they are
to labor the coming year. Some OF these
are pleased, others are disappointed.
Some wait with bated breath, not knowing
whittier they will be sent.
The Bishop spoke comfortingly and en-.
conragingly to the Conference.
Prayer was offered and the appointments
were then announced, and the preachers
and churches Of the West Virginia Con-
fercnce-the first church, the second a
