 ter And Condemn1iig The Associated
 Presa.
 BALTIMORE; Dec 1.-The church was crowded to its fullest capacity at the after noon and closing session of the Methodist centennial conference Rev j. NJ. Trimble of Columbus, Ohio, presided. The deVo- tional exercises were. led by Rev. H. s. TnzaIl of San Antonio, Texas. The hymn sung was 1T love thy Kingdom; Lord" The report of the committee on moral questions, the national appropriation of public school section excepted, was adopted. dis patch was read from the South Carolina conference now in session sending greeting. "God speed to the South Carolina conference,' was the reply sent. During a discussion as to the passing of 8 resolution of thanks to the press of the city the Associated Press was condemned. A resolution by Rev. Dr. Gray, of Illinois, to set apart the week after Thanksgiving in each year to prayer was adopted. Bishop Merrill then read the pastoral address, which is addressed to the Methodist people of the United States and Canada. After refer church during the past one hundred years, the faithful are reminded that the mission given to them is not yet accomplished, the thousands gathered into the fold are but the forerunners of the multitudes yet to be saved They are entreat2d to remember that hitherto Methodists have been distin- guished by the emphasis they have given to the essential doctrines of Christianity, the truths relating to God, to moral government, to immortality, to eternal retr1bution There are other doctrines also to be emphasized, namely re- pentance, faith, justification, adoption, the witness of the spirit, the sanctification and Christian perfection. Take from Methodism these doctrines of experience or even the emphasis given them and their glory is de- parted forever.

The closing address was made by Rev. Frederick Merrick. Rev. Dr. J. M Trumbull, the presiding officer, then offered prayer imploring the divine blessing on every member of the conference; asking continuance throug the coming cen-e tury of the divine fayors bestowed upon the past; commenting each member to the care of Providence, and entreating the final bring ing of all to glory. The conference then ad- journed sine die.
