The characters q the young men
who were in the ministerial field last
year were investigated. These young
preachers are started in the towns and
villages and circuits where Methodists
are not very numerous, and, as rule,
their work pays them but little. By
this mode of procedure they are en-
sbled to finish their education, and at
the same time build up the cause in
their respective charges. The character
of every one examined stood the test,
and they were continued in the work.
DR.. E. E. Hoss, editor of the Nash
vile Christian Advocate, addressed the
conference on the general policy of the
church. and referred to the question of
reunion with the Methodist church
north. He said in substance that many
thousands of the southern Methodist
brethren were in favor of organic
union on basis of an equal recogni-
tion of the rights of each, but he de-
clared it must be union and not alb
sorption; that was demanded by both
their own respect and simple justice.

Six clerical and six lay delegates
were elected to the general conference
of the church, which meets at Mem
phis, Tenn, next May.
Bishop Haygood, in his charge to the
young ministers about to be ordained
deacons, said the first requirement of a
Methodist preacher was sanctified COM
mon sense, then he must know how to
preach, and he must be willing to work
harder than any other man in his part
of the state.
]. H. Hager and A. A. Lewis, of
Plattsburg, who were relieved on &C
count of debts, reported themselves
relieved of such embarrassment and
were given permission to preach again.
