Conference:
BROTHERS: At your session OF yester
day called attention to the fact that
the charges affecting my moral character
were already before the proper legal tri
bunal; reminding you that every state
ment there must be under oath, while
before your body no words were verified
| also notified you that while we pos
SeSSed evidence mere than sufficient to
vindicatc me even before my enemies
yet it was the positive and reasonable
order of my legal advisers that such tes
tim0ny should not be spread before y0uI
body or elsewhere until used by them in
court. pom such facts | yesterday
asked your body i'll fairness only to post
pone the actual taking of testimony in
my case until the matter had been heard
by the civil court, and | could use my
evidence, promising at such time not
Culy to Vlndicate myself, but to show
that these blows come from the same
quarter from which have been attacked
Tor three years past. The reasonable re-
quest it pleased yoa to refuse. Under
such circumstances, intensified by the
fact that the voices of those opposing
the requess came almost exclusively
from those members Of the Newark
circle" who have openly or covertly been
most active for over two years in leading
the persecution against myself-their
motives are known to themselves, but
may be surmised by others-I can stoop
no longer to such al unseemly struggle.
| therefore hereby and now withdraw
myself from the ministry and member
ship of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Praying that Gods spirit may guide you
into fairer treatment of transferred
brethren, even though they may not
follow your orders i'll every direction.
remain. GEORGE r. BRIsToR.

"There is no such thing as State \.
