E. Hass. editors of the Nashville Chris
tian Advocate; NJ. B. Chapman. editor
| of the ST. Louis Christian Advocate; b.
f. Haynes, editor of the Tennessee

the conference, and j. H. Pritchell
has been fiscal secretary for twenty
six years. Rev. C. Grimes, on
behalf of the proper committee, report
ed the following as having passed sat-

c. Ramsford, ST. Joseph; Robert Nell
way, De Witt; 7, Wheeler, Monroe City;
J. c. Wyatt, Macon, and H. II. Johnson,
The charaite5s Of the young men
year were Investigated. These young
preachers are started in the towns and
villages and circuits where Methodists
are not YfgY numerous, and, as a rule,
their work pays them but little. BY
this mode, of procedure they are en-
abled 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.
DIR. 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
brethern 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 abb
sorption; that was demanded by both
their own respect and simple justice.
