tention,
The general conference of the Metho.
dist Episcopal church, a body which
meets every four years, whose proceed
ings will enliven the city of Cleveland,
and, to some extent, the country at
large for an entire month, beginning
with the list of May, will consist of
about five hundred and fifty delegates,
one-third of whom will be laymen, and
all lof whom will have been chosen by
ballot, on account of some real or i'm
aglnary fitness for this honor from
denomination which numbers about
TWO and three-quarter millions, and
has travelling ministry of only little
less than seventeen thousand These
chosen representatives of great
church will be gathered out of no less
than one hundred and forty annual
conferences and missions, and will hail

gathering the address will occur, 1t
may be presumed, in connection with
! the report of a committee appointed
four years ago on fraternal co-opera-
tion and organic union, and as there
has been latterly, in both churches,
growth of sentiment favorable to such
union, some happy developments may
