Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

Q. yn. What Ministers have died since the last Conference?
A. 1. In Qreat Britain, {hirty-three, viz,—
(1.) Thomas E. Jones ; who was bom at CaemarvoD,
August the 4th, 1810. He was the son of the late Bey. John
Jones. When eighteen years of age he was converted during
a service conducted by the late ' Squire Brook.' In 1835 he
entered the Ministry, and for forty-five years toiled hard for
the Master. His ministry was eminently evangelical ; and in
some of his Circuits was crowned with remarkable success. At
Portland one of the greatest revivals known in the south of
England occurred, commencing under a sermon which Mr.
Jones addressed one Sunday morning to backsliders. As a
Superintendent he gave diligent and faithful attention to the
varied interests of his Circuits, financial as well as spiritual.
A selfnsacrificing loyalty to Christ and His Church was one of
his chief characteristics throughout the course of his protracted
ministry. On becoming a Supernumerary he retired to Brid-
lington-Quay, where the last three years of his life were spent
in weakness and in much suffering; but the power of the
Gospel was strikingly illustrated in his continuous resignation.
At ' even-time ' there was ' light.' Expressions of exultation were
often on his lips. On one occasion he exclaimed : ' The new song
I shall sing.' He fell asleep on his seventy-third birthday,
August the 4th, 1883, in the forty-eighth year of his ministry.
(2.) Thomas Jeffebies ; who was born at Stourbridge, July
the 4th, 1811. He was converted to Q-od when fourteen years
old. • He entered the Ministry in 1833, and took Circuit-work
until 1875, when failing health obliged him to retire. As a
Superintendent he was a wise administrator, ever securing
respect and love by his eminently kind disposition. His atten-
tion to all the details of business was constant. His love of
Methodism was deep and unchanging.
His sermons were plain, instructive, and evangelical ; the doc-
trines of the Atonement and justification by faith were his favour^
ite themes, which he enforced with much eamestoess of a^^^eel
12 OBITUARIES. [1884.
His last illness was severe and prolonged, but was borne with
great patience and resignation. His confidence in the Divine
wisdom and love was unfailing. When the end came he was
undismayed. The faith he had long preached sustained him
when flesh was failing. Beloved by all who knew him, he fell
asleep, September the 7th, 1883, in the seventy-third year of his
age, and the fifty-first of his ministry.
(3.) Thomas White Smith; who was born at Bradford,
Wilts, June 21st, 1797. Trained in a godly home, he became
familiar with the ordinances of Methodism from childhood. In
London, whither he early removed, he was convinced of sin, and
found peace through believing.
At the age of twenty-one, he began to preach in the neigh-
bourhood of the Mint, in the prisons and lowest lodging-houses,
and often in the open air. In his twenty-fifth year he entered
the Methodist Ministry, and was appointed to South-Petherton.
In his earlier Circuits he had to endure severe toils and diffi-
culties, which he met with a fine spirit of devotion and Chris-
tian heroism. His ministry extended over forty-four years.
He was careful in his preparation for the pulpit. His style
was pleasing, and his delivery fervent and pathetic, and some-
tunes eloquent ; but, above all, eminently useful He faithfully
cared for all the interests entrusted to his charge. A beautiful
simplicity marked his character ,blended with cheerfulness, sound
judgment, and zeal for the salvation of sinners. His adminis-
tration was prudent, prompt, and thorough. His fidelity and
tact were proved in troublous times, when he was a wise pilot
and faithful counsellor. In 1866 he felt it to be his duty to
retire ; but during his retirement he preached often, and with
much of his old power ; and took the warmest interest in all
Circuit movements. On September 22nd, 1883, in the eighty-
seventh year of his age, ' he fell on sleep.' He was able to say ;
* All is well ; all is weU.'
(4,) Thomas Hasdt ; who was bom at Birmingham, August
1884.] OBITUARIES. 18
the 24tli, 1803, and was brought to GK>d when about fourteen
years of age. He entered the Wesleyan-Methodist Ministry
in 1826. He continued for fifty years to labour with unabated
zeal, and in 1877 settled at Falmouth as a Supernumerary. He
was of sound judgment, miflinching integrity, and ceaseless
activity in ministerial duties, which were the joy of his life.
The Word of Q-od was his constant study, and his expositions
of Divine truth were comprehensive and eminently practical.
He was an enthusiastic lover of Methodism, and an able
administrator : wise, faithful, and attentive to every detail of
Circuit work. In 1882 he removed to Newark, where his
health began to decline, and after lingering in distressing weak-
ness until October the 3rd, 1883, he fell asleep in Jesus. Some
of his last words were : ' I have peace with Q-od through our
Lord Jesus Christ.'
(5.) Chables Lesteb; who was bom at Ivinghoe, near
Dunstable, in 1848. The training of godly parents and the
influences of a Christian home resulted in his early conversion
to G-od. At seventeen years of age he began to call sinners to
repentance, and three years later was accepted as a candidate
for our Ministry. He enjoyed the advantages of training at
Didsbury ; and in the Circuits where he afterwards laboured he
gave full proof of his ministry. He had just entered upon his
work in the Northampton Circuit, fullj of faith and zeal, when
his course was suddenly terminated after a short illness, the
result of exposure to cold.
In fellowship with Christ he had learned what that Scripture
meaneth : ' Henceforth I call you not servants, but friends ; '
and this was the distinction of his spiritual life. Consistent,
frank, and faithful, he was an epistle ' known and read of all
men.' His preaching was plain, earnest, and practical. Cheer-
ful, orderly, and persistent in his pastoral work, he honoured
his Master by a life of consecrated service.
His decease was unexpected, and almost to the last he enter-
tained hopes of recovery. He said : *I hope I BhftLl^\\lItkcQ\\!^\
14 OBITUARIES. [1884.
bat if I do not, I am safe througk the merits of Christ.' Just
before he passed away he attempted to sing :
* His merit is my only plea,
For Christ is All in all to me.'
He died on October 3rd, 1883, in the thirtynsbcth year of his
age, and the thirteenth of his ministry.
(6.) Jabbz Ovbbton, (son of the late Eev. John Overton) ;
who was bom at Tiverton, January 12th, 1822. He was con-
verted while a scholar at Kingswood-School, and soon afterwards
commenced to work for Q-od. He entered the Ministry in 1848.
He was a diligent student of the Word. His preaching gave
evidence of careful preparation, and was intensely earnest and
spiritual. His care for young men was most marked. He
lived, pre-eminently, not for himself but others. Stricfc consci-
entiousness characterized the discharge of all his duties. For
thirty-one years he rendered good service in the cause of Christ,
and had the joy of seeing much fruit. In Cornwall, he laboured
for twenty-four years, among a people who set a high value
upon his labour. He became a Supernumerary in 1880. His
last illness was of a very distressing nature. In his last hours he
affirmed Christ to be his hope, and His grace to be eufficient
to sustain to the end. He peacefully entered into rest, Octo-
ber 10th, 1883, at St. Agnes, Cornwall, in the sixty-second year
of his age, and the thirty-fourth of his ministry.
(7.) Philip Qxjiton ; who was bom in Jersey, in 1820. He
was converted to Qod when twelve years old, and became a
member of the Wesleyan-Methodist Society. Whilst pursuing
his studies at Caen he was in danger of losing his faith, but
the prayers of his mother and a severe illness brought him back
to the Saviour. He was received as a probationer in 1840, and
was stationed in Guernsey. G-od acknowledged by a glorious
revival the labours of the young Minister. He was one of the
young men of the Channel Islands who went to France to help
I>r, QuurlsB Cook and his valiant oo-operatoni. His first station
1884,] OBITUARIES, 16
in France, was the arduous field of tke Hautes Alpes. The
rigour of the climate impaired his health to such a degree that
he was obliged to return for a time to his native land. He went
back to France ; and for more than twenty years did the work
of an Evangelist in the north, the south, the east and in the
west of that country. He was one of the most eminent Minis-
ters of the French Conference. Eight times he was called to
be Chairman of a district. His cheerful disposition, his fervent
and attractive piety, his sympathetic manner of preaching, and
his gifts as an administrator were highly appreciated. Wher-
ever he was stationed many souls were brought to Christ
through his instrumentality. The state of his health forced him
to return to Jersey as a Supernumerary in 1868. During the
last fifteen years of his life he was unable to speak from the
pulpit ; but his ministry to the many sick and afflicted whom he
visited was greatly blessed. The Lord took him, October 16th,
1883. ' Lord,' he was heard saying, ' wilt Thou not soon let
Thy servant go in peace ? ' And his prayer was answered.
(8.) John Cabby Pengblly ; who was bom at Devonport,
January 1st, 1803. When a young man he went up to London,
and entered the office of a solicitor. He purposed qualifying
for the Law but the Master called him to preach the G-ospel ;
and he was not disobedient to the Heavenly calling. He
entered on his first Circuit in 1829, and continued in the full
work of the Ministry until 1873, when he settled at Worthing,
where he spent the remaining years of his life, rendering efficient
help to the Circuit both as a Preacher and as a wise and valued
counsellor. He took an active and prominent part in the
early stages of the Educational Movement in Methodism, more
especially the establishing of the Normal Institute, West-
minster. He was a cultivated and earnest Preacher, gentle-
manly and genial in his manners ; he attracted the young by
bis sympathy and uniform cheerfulness ; and manifested
throughout a long period of peculiar trial an unfailing trust in
Gody and patient submission to the Divine will. The end oama

suddenly. He needed not the refining of a prolonged affliction,
for he stood ready for the Master's call. He died on Sunday,
October 21st, 1883, aged eighty years.
(9.) TiMOTHr EoBBBT MoxoN ; who was born at Burnham,
Norfolk. He became a member of the Society in 1834, and soon
began to call sinners to repentance. In 1838 he was accepted by
the Conference as a probationer for our Ministry. He applied
himself to his life-work with ever-increasing diligence, until
forced by failing health to become a Supernumerary, in 1882.
He was a man of varied intelligence, and took a special
interest in natural science ; but the study of the sacred Scrip-
tures was his supreme delight. His preaching was chiefly
expository and practical, evincing a sound judgment, and much
careful and independent thought. In the conducting of Bible-
classes he was eminently successful ; and his later years were
frequently cheered by tidings of the good which had resulted
from his labours in former Circuits. As a Superintendent he
was straightforward, judicious, firm and conciliatory ; and to his
colleagues affectionate and true. In the social circle he was
cheerful, frank and genial; whilst his kindness to the poor
was bounded only by his resources. During his retirement he
rendered to the Stockport (Hillgate) Circuit what services he
could. He died in peace, November the 25th, 1883, in the sixty-
sixth year of his age, and the forty-fifth of his ministry.
(10.) Qbobgb Btitchbb; who was bom at St. James',
Norfolk, whence he removed in childhood with his parents
to Prince Edward's Island, Having become the subject of
saving grace in early life, on returning to his native land, he
united himself with our Church, and cherished an earnest
desire to enter the Methodist Ministry. Its ^ates being closed
through the tribulations which then afflicted the Connexion, he
went back to Prince Edward's Island, an4 soon received an
appointment as a Minister in Nova-Scotia. Among the hardy
fishermen and enterprising colonists of his adopted country,
with greAt energy and success, he made known the truths of the

Q"Ospel, and in some of the chief cities in the British Dominion
of North America fulfilled his ministry with much joy and
acceptance. When the Sackville Academy was destroyed by
fire, his knowledge of architecture was turned to good account
by the valuable assistance which he rendered in its reconstruction.
Throughout his career he manifested a deep interest in the
erection and renovation of Chapels, School-rooms, and Ministers'
houses. In his English Circuits he won universal esteem by
his manly uprightness, his cheerful intelligence, and his solid,
spotless piety. By his gentleness and urbanity he secured the
affection and confidence of his ministerial brethren, of our own
and other Churches ; and in all places in which he laboured it
was his joy to witness that * the Lord added to the Church,' and
increased the spiritual vigour of those already gathered in. He
manifested a deep interest in the poor. An earnest adherent
of the total abstinence movement, his last public effort was in
advocacy of its principles. His mortal illnass found him waiting
in perfect peace ; and amid much pain and weakness, in ' full
assurance of hope unto the end,' he triumphantly committed his
soul into his Eedeemer's hands. He died at Deal, the 30th of
November, 1883, in the twenty-eighth year of his ministry, and
the fifty-sixth of his age.
(11.) G-EOBaE BAirrBLL ; who was bom at Tattershall, Lin-
colnshire, August 12th, 1809. In very early life he was the
subject of deep religious impressions, but did not begin to serve
the Lord in earnest till his eighteenth year. About that time
he joined the Wesleyan-Methodist Society. After a season of
deep penitential sorrow he found peace with Q-od, whilst
listening to a sermon preached by the late Eev. Leonard
Posnett. He offered himself for work in our Foreign Missions,
was accepted by the Conference of 1833, and was sent to
the West Indies, where, for nearly sixteen years, he labour 3d
with great earnestness, fidelity, and success. In 1849 enfeebled
health compelled him to return home, when he laboured in
several Circuits with much acceptance and profit. Hi'a ^\^«j;^-

ing was earnest, practical, and useful ; his constant aim being to
save those who heard him. In 1868 he became a Supernumerary,
and in 1876 received an appointment to the Chaplaincy of the
Netley Hospital, where "many were benefited by his kindly
visits, wise counsels, and fervent prayers. He was mighty in
prayer. In 1881 he removed to Weymouth, where, being too
feeble for active service, he found all-sufficient grace to suffer
all his Father's righteous will. His last days were full of
brightness, peace, and hope. Some of his last utterances were :
* Precious blood ! precious blood ! ' He fell asleep, resting on
the Atonement, December 6th, 1883, in the seventy-fifth year
of his age, and the fifty-first of his ministry.
(12.) Samuel Hickmans ; who was born at Gomal-Wood,
in the Dudley Circuit, May the 28th, 1848. His parents, being
"Wesleyan-Methodists, brought him up *in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord,' and in his twelfth year he gave his heart
to Q-od. He at once became a member of his father's Class,
and gave satisfactory evidence of a true conversion. He soon
afterwards became a teacher in the Sunday-school, where his
labours were much blessed. In 1871 he was accepted as a
candidate for the Ministry, and for twelve years sought to ap-
prove himself unto Q-od, ' a workman that needed not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' His preaching
was marked by many features of excellence, and his spirit was
eminently serious and devout. In the Circuits in which he
laboured he was much esteemed, and is affectionately remem-
bered. His health for some months before his death had shown
signs of failure, and for some weeks he was entirely laid aside. He
clung to the hope of recovery ; but when it became evident there
was no ground for it, he was enabled to say : * Thy will be done.'
He died in great peace, at Whaley-Bridge, December the
7th," 1883, in the thirty-sixth year of his age, and the thirteenth
of his ministry.
(13.) Samuel Higginbotham Tindall, (son of the late Bev.
Samuel Tindall) ; who died December 10th, 1883, in the forty-

eighth year of his life, and the tweniy-sixth oQiis Mioifltrj. In
very early life his sensitive, impressible nature was affected by
sacred trath. His early religious impressions were deepened
during his school-life at Eingswood, and he was led to oonae*
crate himself wholly to QoA in his seTenteenth year. By
careful training a firm foundation was laid for thorough,
diligent and continuous study, for which his superior abilities
fitted him. His reading at first inclined him to High-Church
notions, from which he was freed only by much patient
enquiry, by severe mental struggle, and by a gracious reyiyal
of religion in his C^uit. His preaching, always of a high
order, now partook of a new power, and was carefully directed,
as was the toil of his life, to the promotion of revivals of
religion ; and in every Circuit his labour was rewarded. He
was a painstaking student of Theology, especially delighting in
the best writers of the English Church. He also gave close
attention to the exposition of Holy Scripture, in which he
greatly excelled, and the benefit of which was proved by the
Churches under his care. In the latter years of his ministry
he became ferventiy devoted to the saving of souls. His
preaching, plans, conversation, all aimed at this. In it he was
eminentiy honoured of Qt)d. In the fervour of his work in
Revival Missions he overtaxed his strength, and helped to bring
upon himself fiver years of very painful affliction and en-
forced retirement. His sufferings, borne with meekness and
heroic patience, promoted and revealed a very lofty spiritual
experience. He was a saintly man, faithful in duty, firm in
friendship, unswerving in honour, devoted and reverent in
demeanour, and prudent in speech and action. In gifts, in good-
ness, and in usefulness, he was surpassed by few if any his equals
in years. With words of faith and hope upon his lips this good
man passed away to the heaven for which he had been made meet,
(14.) Pasoho Hoskins; who was born at Devonport, Sep-
tember 16th, 1820. He was favoured with pious parents, and
was early in life converted to Q-od. In 1844 he was receivod

hy the Conference »« a candidate for the Ifoiiatrv, and entered
on Wn work in Bristol. Dnrhig^ thirty-five years of devoted toil
he fftithf nlly served the Connexion^ and sustained a blameless
rppntfttiop. He was, by sympadiy, and by deep-rooted prin-
ciple, a thoraiu^h Methodist preacher, and was folly consecrated
\o hifl work. A clear sense of the responsibilifies of his high
callinj:^ led to careful preparation for his Tarions duties, espe-
cially for the pnlpit. His sermons were sonnd, instructive,
lively, and earnest. In the Saperintendency of the various
Circnitfl of which he was piri: in charge, he was pains-
taking and accurate, and showed superior administrative
ability. As Chatrman of a district, he was pdicioas and faithful.
He retired from Circuit-work at the Conference of 1879.
He had a remarkable gift for inducing wealthy persons
to contribute liberally to the cause of Grod. He was par-
ticularly fitted for the work amongst sailors and soldiers. His
exhausting labours in connection with the Seaman's Mission sowed
the seeds of his fatal disease. After a lengthened and most
painful afiliction, which beclouded his mind, this faithful servant
entered into the joy of his Lord, on January 6th, 1884, in the
sixty-fourth year of his age, and the fortieth of his ministry.
(15.) HxmiT RjcfHAMjeow; who was bom at Market-Weigh-
ton, June the 22nd, 1809. His parents were members of the
Wesleyan-Methodist Society. His ndnd gradually opened to
the truth. In his native place the Wesleyan-Methodist services
at that time were held under his father's roof. He was con-
verted to G-od when about seventeen years of age. He entered
the Ministry in 1833. As a Preacher he was thoroughly
evangelical, earnest, and practical; and his sermons were
highly appreciated by the congregations to whom he ministered.
His visits to the homes of his flock were frequent and regular ;
and his attention to the sick and dying was exemplary and
unremitting. As a Superintendent he was judicious, and
discharged the several duties of his office with fidelity and
^onacieniionBneBS, By his colleagues he was greatly beloyecj.

In all social relations he displayed that which is ' pure, lovelj,
and of good report.' His urbanity, his intelligent and edify-
ing conversation, his cheerfulness and geniality,, and the
beautiful consistency of his character and conduct endeared
him to a wide circle of friends. Of the domestic circle he was
the brightness and joy ; the tenderness and gentleness of his
nature found there the fullest expression. His whole spirit
and bearing showed him to be a man of God. After forty-four
years in the itinerant work he became a Supernumerary, settling
at G-reengates, in the Woodhouse- Grove Circuit, The years of
his retirement were frequently marked by much mental depres-
sion, arising from physical causes. He peacefully passed away
to his eternal rest, on the 28thJof January, 1884, in the seventy-
fifth year of his age, and the fifty-first of his ministry.
(16.) Thomas Hughes (a) ; who was bom at Llangynnog, '
Montgomeryshire, in 1815. His parents were Wesleyan-
Methodists, and their godly influence was honoured in his
conversion. In early life he became a Local-preacher of much
promise ; and in the year 1842 he entered the Wesleyan Minis-
try. After labouring in Welsh Circuits for four years, he was
ordained and appointed to the English work in which he
sustained a vigorous ministerial course until 1870. Notwith-
standing some marked peculiarities, he was much esteemed
and beloved by a wide circle of friends. He had, however,
taken a position respecting the Class-meeting at variance with
its recognised importance in the economy of Methodism, and
endeavoured to propagate his opinions through the press ; on
account of which the Conference deemed it necessary that he
should retire from Circuit work. For the last eight and a half
years he resided at Morton, near Oswestry, occasionally preach-
ing for his own and other denominations.
Mr. Hughes was an original and self-reliant thinker. He
was the author of various metaphysical treatises of considerable
merit. He was of a speculative cast of mind. He was not,
however, a mere student or preacher, but endeatei. \^m^A^ \Ai

the villagers around by many acts of kindness, particularly in
visiting the sick and ministering the Word of Life amongst
them, and in his removal they have lost a great friend. His
illness was protracted ; and during the last few weeks of his life
he sometimes seemed to lose consciousness. But he gave
clear indications of unshaken confidence in G-od through the
mentis of the Bedeemer. He entered into rest, January Slst,
1884, in the sixty-ninth year of his age.
(17.) John Babtlbt (a) ; who was bom at Trefriw in Car-
narvonshire, in the year 1805. When about fifteen years of
age he was brought to a saving knowledge of the truth. He
was received at the Conference of 1830 as a candidate for the
Ministry, and was sent to the Buthin and Llangollen Circuit.
As a Christian he was sincere, uniform, upright, cheerful and
devoted. He had a sound understandiDg, discriminating judg-
ment and retentive memory ; and, in more than common measure,
some of the most important qualifications for usefulness in the
great work to which his life was devoted. He was a sound
Methodist theologian, and his sermons were sometimes de-
livered with great power and unction. He had many seals to
his ministry. He was a careful and judicious Superintendent,
and a faithful Pastor. By his diligence and usefulness he
secured the respect and love of those among whom he laboured.
La 1870 he became a Supernumerary, and spent five years in the
Buthin Circuit, where he was very useful Li 1875 he removed
to the Holyhead Circuit, where he spent the remainder of his
years. He was always doing good, labouring to the utmost of
his strength in and out of the pulpit. Li December, 1883, his
health began to fail, and with much patience he endured a most
painful illness for two months, until at length 'the weary
wheels of life stood still.' Some of his last words were : ' Christ
is my refuge ; ' ' All right ; * ' Farewell.' He died, February 19th,
1884, in the seventy-ninth year of his age, and the fifty-fourth
of his ministry.

December 3rd, 1807, at Brjnyffordd, Holywell. He was con-
verted to Q-od at fourteen years of age, and began to preach
when he was twenty-one. He entered the Ministry in 1831,
and trayelled in several Circuits in Wales until the year 1870,
when he became a Supernumerary, and resided at Liverpool,
labouring, according to his ability, faithfully in his Master's work.
At tiie commencement of his ministry especially, his preaching
was very powerful, and the people crowded to hear him ; and
though trials and family afflictions depressed his mind and
weakened his strength, he continued faithful to the end. His
illness was short and severe. He. several times expressed a
' desire to depart, and to be with Christ;' bade farewell to his wife
and children, repeating : ' I am going to be with Christ, which is
far better ; * and ag^iin : ' I am so happy ; O, so happy ! Accepted
in Christ — no pain there — all peace there — no fear there.' On
Sunday, March 16th, he became very much weaker, and it was
evident that the end was near. He said : ' I am trusting in
Christ — no doubt — no fear — so happy ; O, so happy ! ' which he
repeated several times, while his face beamed with almost super-
natural brightness. His last words were : ' The Lord is my
Shepherd.' On the 17th, although unable to speak, he was quite
conscious, and when asked if he was happy, he lifted his hand
and smiled, and quietly fell asleep, in the seventy- seventh year
of his age, and the fifty-third of his ministry.
(19.) William Solomon De wbtoe; who entered the Ministry
in 1868, and died at Falmouth, 3rd of April, 1884, aged forty-
eight years. He was a diligent student of the Scriptures, an
effective expository Preacher, a good Pastor, zealous in spirit,
and truly alive to Gk>d. His ministry was successful, and his
praise is in the Churches. His preaching was greatly appre-
ciated in the Falmouth Circuit, where he had been brought up,
and by members of other Churches.
For several years he was a great sufferer. He had to retire
from active service at a comparatively early age. His health
quite failed in 1874; but as it was thought an. tt$^Vxi\ixi<6i^\A

South Africa might be beneficial to him, he went thither for
three years, and found congenial work. He returned to Eng-
land enfeebled, and in much pain, and became a Supernumerary
in 1878. For a few years in his home, near Penryn, he wrote the
Notes on the Lessons for the Wesleyan Sunday-School Magazine,
He took great delight in this work; and his services were highly es-
teemed by theCommitteeof theConnexional Sunday-School Union.
He hoped to return to Circuit-wojk at this Conference, but
the Master called him suddenly during sleep in the night.
(20.) John Pbaviotjb Johnson ; who was bom in Salford,
March 27th, 1814, of Methodist parents. He joined the Society
in 1837, and entered the Ministry in 1839. For twenty-eight
years he toiled in the full work with much acceptance and
success. He was an able Preacher, a well-read theologian, a
generous colleague, a strict disciplinarian. In 1867 he became
a Supernumerary, and the last sixteen years of his life were
spent at Wood-Green. While resident there, having been
trained as an architect, he rendered long and useful services by
examining and reporting on all plans submitted to the Metro-
politan Chapel Building Committee, of which he was a valued
member. Throughout his ministry, as an accompKshed musician,
he bestowed much pains upon the improvement of the musical
service of the sanctuary. He also possessed considerable artistic
genius and skill, which, by leading him into the society of men
distinguished in art and letters, considerably extended his
sphere of usefulness. The last two years of his Kfe were spent
in much feebleness and suffering; but as his end drew near, his
spiritual vision became stronger, and he had peculiar interest
and satisfaction in contemplating the grandeur of the Atone-
ment. Calmly trusting in the merit and mercy of Jesus, his
spirit passed away, April 7th, 1884, in the seventy-first year
of his age, and the forty-fifth of his ministry.

the influence of his ' sainted fe.ther.' Converted in early life,
he began to preach when he was barely sixteen, and having
been accepted as a candidate by the Conference of 1865, he
was sent to Penzance. For seventeen years he did the full
work of the Ministry in some of our most important Circuits.
Hi« manly form, his simple, natural manner, his strong indi-
viduality, his lucid expositions of the truth, his happy, ardent
temperament, and the compass and sweetness of his voice,
combined to make him an acceptable Preacher. His early
training had been that of an engineer, and to the close of life
his love for science amounted to a passion ; but all his know-
ledge of men and things was made subservient to the work of
preaching the Gospel. With the felicity of genius, he often
brightened his discourses by illustrations drawn from practical
science; while he was not less happy in many an incidental
reference to the current forms of scientific unbelief. In 1882
he was forbidden to preach, and became a Supernumerary ; but
was ever wont to say : ' I am a Methodist Preacher ! ' and was
hopeful of a speedy return to the regular work.
After resting for some months, he took a few services in the
Circuit to which he had retired, and hi« sermons were marked
by a rare tenderness and unction. He was afflicted with heart-
disease and great cerebral pressure, accompanied by much
mental suffering ; but the moment he was free from the terrible
agony, his bright and hopeful patience, and his simple faith in
Gk)d, almost veiled from the eyes of friends the seriousness of
his complaint. On G-ood Friday, April 11th, 1884, he had a
sharp paroxysm of pain ; exclaimed, ' Health ! Death ! Jesus ! '
and soon afterwards fell quietly asleep. Unconsciously he
passed through the gates of death to the land of everlasting life.
He died at Poplar, in the thirty-ninth year of his age, and the
nineteenth of his ministry.

of his ftge, when he at oi2ce joined the Methodiat &OQ\jb\<^ ^ ^lA

began to devote himself to various branches of spiritual service.
For a few years he conducted a prosperous business, which had
come to him by inheritance, on behalf of his widowed mother,
at the same time labouring with earnestness and remarkable
success as a Local-preacher. In 1837 he felt constrained to
offer himself to the Conference for the work of a Missionary,
and was sent to Nova- Scotia, where, as also in Eastern Canada,
he laboured with distinguished efficiency for nineteen years as a
Circuit Minister, and afterwards for six years as Book-Steward
and Editor of Connexional pubKcations. He returned to Eng-
land in 1862, and in 1874, after twelve years of acceptable
ministry at home, became a Supernumerary at Clapton, -where
he continued to render willing and welcome service as a Preacher,
a Leader of Society-classes, and a visitor of our people at their
homes, until within a few weeks of his death. Mr. Churchill was
of superior mental ability, of genial temper, and of considerable
literary attainments and power. As a student of Scripture he
was paiastakiag and devout ; as a Preacher, fluent, earnest,
practical, and direct ; as a Pastor, diligent, discreet and sympa-
thizing ; as a friend, affectionate, unselfish, and faithful. He
always manifested a firm attachment to his own Church ; but
was free from bigotry ; and the greatest joy of his life was to
promote, or to witness, or to hear of the prosperity of the work
of Q-od. Throughout his last illness he was not only patient,
but cheerful, and even joyous ; most grateful for the kind atten-
tion of his friends, and full of praise to his Saviour. A day or
two before his death, when unable to speak intelligibly, he wrote :
' Jesus is mine, and I am His for ever.' He calmly passed away,
on the 23rd of April, 1884.
(23.) JoHK Hekey Heaslb ; who died at Welshpool, on April
28th, 1884, in the twenty-ninth year of his age, and the fourth
of his ministry. During his residence at Didsbury his excel-
lent character won for him the esteem both of the tutors and
of his fellow-students. He supplied in various Circuits with
much aooeptsanoef and gave promiBe of 8^ ministry of consider-

hopes of those who knew him, and caused them deep sorrow. His
last words were : ' The gates are open; the gates are open ! Heaven/
(24.) Alesed J. DupuT ; who was born in Gruernsejin 1835,
where he entered into rest on the 7th of May, 1884, in the
twenty-sixth year of his ministry, and the forty-ninth of
his age. Converted to GK)d in early youth, he soon afterwards
became a Local-preacher. Subsequently he removed to France,
where, after a course of training, he was received as a probationer
in 1858 in connection with the French Conference. He laboiu^d
acceptably and successfully in several Circuits in France and
Switzerland, and in 1870 returned to the Channel Islands,
where he was stationed in the French Circuits in Guernsey
and Jersey, in which he did good service. He was equally
fluent in French and English. His discourses were thoroughly
evangelical, well-prepared, and deKvered with earnestness and
feeling. As a Pastor his visits were always welcome, especially
to the aged and sick, with whom he thoroughly sympathised.
His health, which had never been robust, gradually failed,
until at the last Conference he was compelled to retire from
Circuit-work. It soon became apparent that recovery was
impossible. He bore his sufferings with resignation, and in
feebleness extreme was enabled to testify to his full repose on
Christ, and his firm hope of heaven.
(25.) Geobge Otston; who was bom at Whitby, in 1811.
He belonged to a family that had for three generations been
connected with the Methodist Society. In very early life he
gave his heart to Q-od. He was a candidate for the Ministry in
1831. In 1832 he received his first Conference appointment;
and for forty years did the full work of a Methodist Preacher
with fidelity and zeal. He was early appointed Superintendent,
and proved a wise and successful administrator : exact in his
knowledge of our rules, and loyal in their observance and
enforcement. He was most careful in the preparation of his
sermons, which were rich in experimental and eyangb^QaH \jt:\3L>2c^^

lucidly set forth, and earnestly applied. His acquaintance with
the Holy Scriptures was that of one whose delight was in the
Law of the Lord, and the aptness of his quotations was one chief
characteristic of his preaching. By his blameless life and
reverent demeanour he ever sustained the dignity of his office ;
and especially was his conduct of the public worship of G-od
marked by much solemnity and devout fervour. His Pastoral
duties were never slighted, and the sick and the poor found in
him a constant friend. He was ready at all times to bear wit-
ness for Christ, sowing beside all waters, and scattering the seed
of the kingdom even by the way side ; and there are many, of all
classes, who will never forget the words thus fitly spoken. But
the most powerful charm of all was his own saintly character.
His light could not be hidden, and the fragrance of his witness
was * as ointment poured forth.' Like Moses, his face shone with
the radiance of one who had been in communion with heaven.
In 1872 he retired from the active work and settled at
St. Albans, where he rendered invaluable service by occasion-
ally meeting Classes, preaching frequently, and moving about
quietly among the people as a kind and loving Minister of
consolation. His last illness came suddenly. Only two days
after he had been preaching, with even more than usual vigour,
he was seized with apoplexy. During the month that he lin-
gered, no word of murmuring was heard, but frequent ascrip-
tions of praise to God. In answer to a question he said,
when speech had already become difficult : ' All my trust is in
the blessed Saviour ! He lived for me ; He suffered for me ;
He died for me.
" Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Him." '
Thus calmly resting on the Atonement, he entered into his
reward, on the morning of the 7th of May, 1884.
(26.) James Taylor (a) ; who was bom at Pointon, Lincoln-
shire, in 1806. ,At an early age he began to preach ; and having
laboured for some time as a Local-preacher, he was accepted
1884.] „ OBITUARIES. 29
as a candidate for the Ministry by the Conference of 1832.
He was affectionate, unselfish, energetic, and persevering ; and
always set himself to improve in every possible way the Circuit
to which he was appointed. His sermons, prepared with very
great care, were thoughtful and impressive expositions of Holy
Scripture and of Christian doctrine ; and were delivered with
a quiet earnestness which found its way to the hearts of his
hearers. In 1873 he became a Supernumerary. The last
thirteen years of his life were spent at Lewes, where he died
May 21st, 1884, in the seventy-eighth year of his age, and the
fifty-first of his ministry.
(27.) William Wallace Duke ; who was bom at Ashton-
under-Lyne, June 11th, 1825. He experienced the converting
grace of the Holy Spirit when sixteen years of age, and at once
entered on the task of seK-culture, which led to his being
received into the Wesleyan-Methodist Ministry in the year
1851. He was an enthusiastic believer in the form of doctrine,
and in the polity of the Church of his choice. His preaching
was noticeable for a broad, firm grasp of evangelical truth, and
an unsparing denunciation of popular vices. He derived his illus-
trations from every-day life, and his matter was intensely practi-
cal. He was master of a clear, pithy, Saxon style, which made
him acceptable to the common people, who ' heard him gladly.'
He was of a kind and sympathetic nature, and attracted
many friends wherever he sojourned. Perhaps the most con-
spicuous feature of his character was its beautiful transparency :
* Godly sincerity' was stamped upon all he said and did.
During his Superintendency of the Wednesbury Circuit he was
seized with paralysis, which deprived him of the power of
speech. One great source of enjoyment, when his lips were
sealed, was to listen to the reading of his favourite hymns.
Though unable to give utterance to his joy and faith, his beam-
ing countenance spoke eloquently of the peace that possessed
his soul. He fell asleep in Jesus, May 23rd, 1884, in the fifty-
ninth year of his age.

(28.) Geobge Follows ; who was born at Stafford in the year
1824. He was left at seven years of age to the care of his
widowed mother. He was converted to Q-od in early life, and
in his nineteenth year began to preach. He was accepted as a
candidate for the Ministry in 1848, and spent three years at
Didsbury. His Circuit-work was characterized by diligence,
earnestness, and spiritual power ; and he laboured in some of
the more important Circuits of the Connexion. In administra-
tion he was firm. His brethren showed their esteem for him
by twice placing him in the Chair of a district. The law of
God was his rule, the love of God his motive, the service of
God his pursuit, the glory of God his absorbing object. A
painful mental affliction laid him aside from his loved work for
months ; and he died, June 2nd, 1884, in the sixty-first year of
his age, and the thirty-fourth of his ministry.
(29.) John Manit; who was born at Manchester, 1806. In
his thirteenth year he was brought to God, and began to meet
in Class. While still young he became a Class-leader and
Local-preacher. He was accepted for the Ministry as a pro-
bationer in 1833. After a year of home-service he was sent to
the West Indies, where he laboured acceptably and successfully
four years, and then resumed home-work. After a long,
laborious, and faithful ministry, sometimes in wide Circuits, he
became a Supernumerary, residing at Warwick. As health
and opportunity served he was diligent in good works. Those
who knew him best bear high testimony to the devoutness of
his spirit, and the thoroughly practical character of his godliness.
He loved the work of his Master, in which he allowed himself
no relaxation. His last illness was very brief . The death of
his wife, within four weeks of his own, much affected him.
Administering the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on Sunday
evening, June 15th, he spoke with glowing anticipation of his
nearness to heaven. On his way home after the service he was
seized with pain at the heart, which proved fatal on the next
Tuesday. His age was seventy-eight years, and he was com-
pleting the Bfty-Brst of his ministry.

(30.) James Cook ; who was bom at Basingstoke on the
24th of January, 1818. His parents were Methodists, who were
the first to provide a preaching-place in his native town,
as well as a home for the Methodist Preachers. At the age
of seven he felt the strivings of God's Spirit, but not till the
year 1836 did consciousness of sin deepen into genuine con-
viction. After many sleepless nights, and much crying to God,
he found peace in a cottage-meeting at Waltham, six miles
from his home. He began at once to seek in every way to win
souls for Christ. He entered upon his first Circuit, Okehamp-
ton, in 1844, and completed his ministry at Leighton-Buzzard
in 1882. His ability in the pulpit was conspicuous. The
sermons he preached glowed with feeling, brightly exhibited
the truth as it is in Jesus, and were adapted to personal appli-
cation by each hearer.
He read widely, particularly of Puritan theology ; and spent
much time in preparation for the pulpit. His personal life
convinced those who knew him that the Atonement was to him
a living truth. Betiring to Aylesbury, he gradually declined.
Almost his last words were : ' I am nearly home.' Without a
struggle, on the 25th of June, 1884, his spirit passed to rest.
(31.) Samuel Totjwg ; who was bom at Pristolee, near
Bolton, Lancashire, in 1797. He joined the Methodist Society
in 1816. Saved by God's grace, he became employed in many
spheres of usefulness. He was accepted by the Conference in
1821. After one year's employment in England he was sent
to South Africa to succeed the Eev. William Shaw, in Albany,
and afterwards laboured with great success in KafPraria.
Throughout life he maintained his interest in Foreign Missions.
He returned to England in 1835. He travelled with great
acceptance in Home Circuits. He then became the Superin-
tendent of Irish Missions and Schools ; and for five years
discharged his responsible duties with efficiency and success,
and then returned to Circuit-work in England. Hi8( piety was
deep and fervent, his preaching thoroughly evangelical, his style

simple, and his delivery animated. As a Superintendent he
was diligent and painstaking ; as a colleague kind and con-
siderate. His interest in the people of his charge, and his cheerful
disposition and ready sympathy, made him much beloved. He
became a Supernumerary in 1865, and rendered help to the
Circuit whilst his strength permitted. For several years he
was paralysed, and he became helpless ; but his trust in Christ
was entire, and to the end Jesus was very precious. He fell
asleep, June 28th, 1884, at Bognor, in the eighty-eighth year of
his age, and the sixty- second of his ministry,
(32.) William Eogees Williams ; who was bom at Clifton,
June 14th, 1814. His mother was the eldest daughter of Mr.
James Bundy, * the prisoner's friend.' To the end of life he
cherished a glowing gratitude for her example and the home-
training of his youth. He was converted to Q-od in the eighteenth
year of his age. He met in band with Samuel Eomilly Hall, and
was thus led into closer fellowship with Christ. He became a
Local-preacher about six months after his conversion, and entered
our Ministry in 1838. For thirty-nine years (broken by two
years of retirement) he did the work of a Methodist Preacher
honestly and well. His sermons were prepared with scrupulous
care, were to a great extent expository, full of Christ, and un-
usually fresh. He was a diligent student, profoundly reverent
in dealing with holy things ; somewhat punctilious as discip-
linarian ; but unvaryingly conscientious, and unswerving in his
loyalty to Methodism. To those who did not know him, his
deportment often seemed brusque and stern ; but this was only
the unconscious effort of a morbid sensitiveness to mask his
self-mistrust. His heart was warm and generous. For the last
nine years of his life he was a Supernumerary in the Bristol
(Kiijg Street) Circuit ; but according to his strength, he still
delighted to take his part in Christian work. Severe family
affliction cast a dark shadow over his last years, and developed
the disease of which he died ; but he was mellowed by suffering;
and abiding trust in His heavenly Father's wisdom" and^ love

kept him in peace. His heart went out towards his brethren
whom he deeply loved, and towards his Saviour Whom he longed
to see. On Sunday, June 29th, 1884, he entered into eternal
rest, aged seventy years.
(33.) Geoege T. Keeble; who was bom in London, on
November 23rd, 1846. He was brought up in the Church of
England. When about nineteen years of age he was attracted
to the Liverpool-Road Chapel to hear the Eev. Dr. Punshon,
under whose ministrations he obtained a clear sense of his
acceptance with God. All the members of his family, through
his instrumentality, became united to Christ and to Methodism.
In 1870 he was accepted by the Conference as a candidate for
the Ministry, and after spending three years at Didsbury
College, he was appointed to Aldershot, and subsequently to
several important Circuits, where his labours were abundant,
and where his memory is tenderly cherished. His life was
brief ; but it was exalted in its character, and hallowed in its
influence, especially upon the young. He was a conscientious
student of God's word. His sermons were full of vigorous
thought, expressed in felicitous language, and showed him to
be possessed of fine theological insight and expository tact.
The charm of an earnest piety and a gentle, loving spirit won
the confidence of all who knew him well.' Almost immediately
after entering the Bristol (Clifton) Circuit his health, never ro-
bust, utterly broke down. Under medical advice he took a voyage
to New South Wales in the autumn of 1883, but received no
benefit from the change. Sorrows and afflictions accumulated
upon him during succeeding months, but his trust never failed.
In one of the last letters which he ever wrote he says : ' Only
those know what a rock God is who lean hard.' During the
session of Conference a telegram was received from Sydney, New
South Wales, announcing that he had passed away, on Tuesday,
July 22nd, 1884. He died in the thirty-eighth year of his age.

Banbridge on the 17th of September, 1814. His early years
were spent in connection with the Presbyterian Church in
that town, of which his parents were members. When he
was yet young, sharp doctrinal controversies arose in that
community, and he became the subject of much anxious
thought, which, under the blessing of God, led to his personal
faith in Christ, and to his casting in his lot with the Methodist
Church. In the year 1835 he was accepted as a candidate for
the Methodist Ministry. Erom the very beginning of his pro-
bation he took high rank as a Preacher and as a fervent
Evangelist. The great verities of the Q-ospel bearing upon the
sinner's guilt and danger, and exhibiting the only and all-
sufficient Saviour, were the constant topics of his preaching ;
but he * shunned ' not to declare ' all the counsel of God,* and
delighted to dwell on the love of God in Christ, the beauty of holi-
ness, and the high and blessed privileges of the believer in Jesus.
After ten years of ardent labour, his career as a Preacher
was unexpectedly interrupted by an affection of the throat
which made public speaking painful, and from which — ^though
the severity of the original attack became much mitigated — he
never fully recovered. Just then a new course opened for
him. The Wesleyan Connexional School in Dublin was for-
mally opened, in October, 1845. Mr. Scott was appointed
Governor and Chaplain, and for thirty-five years thence-
forth his name was prominent in connection with Irish
Methodism in its noble efforts to promote the cause of higher
education. In the year 1855 a movement was commenced
for the extension of Wesleyan agency in Ireland, which in-
volved the raising of X20,000. Mr. Scott was appointed
one of a Deputation to proceed to the United States and
Canada, to lay before our friends there the particulars of the
enterprise, and solicit their aid. In this special labour he
spent six years, and was eminently successful. One of the
results is seen in the establishment of the Methodist College,
Belfast — a result for which to no one man is Irish Methodism
more mdebted than to Eobinson Scott. In this College he

subsequently held, from time to time, the offices of Principal,
Theological Tutor, and Treasurer. He was held in high esteem
by the bishops, ministers, and people of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in America. The Iowa University conferred on him
the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in after years he obtained
that of Doctor of Literature from the Queen's University in
Ireland, of the Senate of which he was a member until its
dissolution, as he was afterwards of the Senate of the Eoyal
University imtil the time of his death.
The complication of diseases which undermined his consti-
tution was aggravated of late years by severe domestic bereave-
ments, so as to make it a wonder to many how he was able to
accomplish so much under such, trying circumstances.
To those who had but a slight acquaintance with Dr. Scott,
he may have seemed cold and unemotional, whereas he had a
really sensitive nature, with a vein of true tenderness and
pathos. Those who knew him best could testify to his genuine
and warm-hearted friendship.
The closing scene was brief and peaceful. He was confined
to his bed for nine days, but his death was not expected tiU
a few hours before he passed away. In the night he was
very restless, and appeared to spend most of the night in
prayer. The next morning it was evident the change was
near: his weakness became extreme. Shortly after noon he
closed his eyes, as if falling into sleep, and in a few moments
exchanged mortality for life, on the 22nd of December, 1883.
He died in the seventieth year of his age, and the forty-ninth
of his ministry.

1833. He was a man of unusually genial and gentle disposition,
artless as a child ; yet possessing a strong, vigorous, and well-culti-
vated intellect. He was one of three brothers who as Ministers
in the Methodist Church were highly esteemed ; and his father, the
late Eev. William Guard, faithfully discharged the duties of an
itinerant in connection with the Conference iot «b ^t\sA q^

twenty-nine years. Immediately after his conversion, which
txK)k place in 1853, he began to work for God. In the posi-
tions of Leader and Local-preacher he gave great satisfaction.
He entered the Ministry in 1856, when he was appointed to
Kilkenny. Subsequently he laboured with much acceptance
and success on several of our leading Circuits. As a Preacher
he was quaint and original ; as a Pastor, tender, thoughtful,
and painstaking, being especially attentive to the sick. As a
friend he was ardent and constant; and as a Christian, like his
honoured father, he was 'uniformly distinguished for piety,
simplicity, and strict integrity.' For several years in succession
he was chosen Chairman of a district : a position which he
held with advantage to the Church and honour to himself,
although he did not possess great administrative ability.
He succeeded in promoting the varied interests of Methodism
in every Circuit to which he was appointed. He was instru-
mental in leading many sinners to Christ ; and, by example and
precept, incited believers to * a closer walk with God.' He had an
intimate acquaintance with our best literature, and was specially
familiar with the writings of the Puritan and Anglican Divines.
In little more than the noon of life he was summoned from
his earthly toil to his heavenly rest. His wife's death, in
December last, inflicted a stroke from which he never fully
recovered. With characteristic fidelity, however, he continued
to discharge all the duties of his sacred office to the last. On
the Sabbath before he was prostrated with his final illness, he
preached three times with his accustomed earnestness and
power. His sufEerings at times were great, yet not a murmur
escaped his lips. Towards the close more than once he expressed
* a desire to depart, and to be with Christ.' But then immediately,
as if in gentle self -rebuke, said : ' He knows what is best ; He
will choose the right time.' He died on the 22nd of April,
after eight weeks' illness, in the fifty-first year of his age, and
twenty-eighth of his ministry. The text he repeated most
hequentlj during his illness was : * The blood of Jesus Christ,
Mis Son, cleanseth us from all sin' •, oncfe sAdm.^ with but-

prising energy: 'cleanseth me/ The text he chose to be
inscribed on his tomb-stone was: *' To die is gain.'
(3.) Jebemia^ Wilson, who was born July 24th, 1809, in
Bellisses, near Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan. His parents
were godly Methodists, and dedicated him to the Lord from
infancy, with the hope that he would be called to the Christian
ministry. When ten years old, he was so filled with peace and
joy in believing, that he was constrained to testify in the Class-
meeting in his father's house what God had done for his
soul. Soon after, by yielding to shame, and resolving not
to speak his experience again, he lost his peace, and was not
restored untU the y^ar 1826, when, through the faithful
labours of the late Eev. John Nesbit, he was led again to
trust in Christ. As a Class-leader and Local-preacher he
was very successful in the conversion of sinners. In 1832
he was accepted as a candidate for the Ministry, and soon
after he was sent to supply a vacancy on the Gal way Mission.
In 1836 he was ordained to the full work of the Ministry, and
travelled some of the most laborious Circuits until 1876, when
he became a Supernumerary. He was a clear expositor of the
Word of Gk)d, and an impressive Preacher. He was a faithful
Pastor, and took an intense interest in the people of his
charge. Hi a last years were full of painful suffering. When
visited occasionally by some of his brethren, who had known
him in former years, and also by the Ministers on the Circuit
he expressed his confidence in God, his resignation to the
Divine will, and his hope of heaven. He fell asleep in Jesus,
April the 25th, 1884, in the seventy-fifth year of his age, and
the fifty-second of his ministry.
3. In our Foreign Missions, twelve, viz., —
(1.) R. Aefmeinayagam ; who was born in the year 1841,
in a village near Tanjore. During his early life he was con-
nected with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and
served that Mission as a teacher for three years. Being anxious
38 OBTIUARIES, [1884.
to become a Preacher of the Gospel he joined the Wesleyan
Methodist Society in 1864, and was sent to labour as a Catechist
in Needamangalum, Negapatam, Manargudi, and other stations.
He was accepted as a probationer for the Wesleyan Ministry
in the year 1873, and was ordained in 1877. As a student he
was diligent and extremely methodical in his habits, and as a
Preacher he bestowed great pains on his preparation for the
pulpit, striving earnestly to interest and instruct those who
heard him. His pastoral duties he fulfilled with affection and
conscientiousness. "While labouring in the Madras North
Circuit in the year 1882, he was visited by an illness which
proved to be but the development of a malady from which he
had long suffered. Afterwards he removed to Trichinopoly,
where, after a short time of great suffering, he died on March
12th, 1883, with an unfaltering faith in Christ, in the forty-
third year of his age, and the tenth of his ministry.
(2.) William Jeffoed Davis ; who was born at Salisbury
in 1810, and died at Q-rahamstown, June 10th, 1883, in the
seventy-third year of his age, and the fifty-second of his
ministry. The son of Methodist parents, he received a wise
and holy training, and early in life experienced the renewing
grace of God. He offered himself for Mission- work, and was
appointed by the Conference of 1831 to Kafirland. He at
once proved his fitness as a pioneer by a ready acquisition of
the language, and a thorough knowledge of the native character.
Amidst frequent wars and tribal changes he laboured with
faithful diligence, enduring 'hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ.' His skill, courage, and faith never failed. His ability
and success gave him a leading place aiaongst the heroic men
whose labours have resulted in the establishment of the pros-
perous Mission Churches of South Africa. His service in con-
nection with the formation of a Kafir literature was of special
value. His publication of a grammar and the first dictionary
in that language — ^the results of many years of patient toil —
hftye jfjeatly &cilitated the labours of his successors. He was
1884.] OBITUARIES. 39
an earnest, brave man, of resolute will ; occasionally somewhat
stem in manner and warm in debate,, but exquisitely tender in
feeling lor others; steadfast in friendship, and loving and
thoughtful as a father. He was much esteemed and beloved in
all the relations of life.
After forty-five years' service in the mission-field, his hitherto
robust health failing, he returned to England as a Supernumerary
in 1876. The later years of his life were shadowed by the
death of his devoted wife, who for thirty- eight years had cheered
and sustained him amidst the perils and trials of his eventful
life. Having returned to South Africa, he had resided but a
few weeks in a former scene of laboiu* (Q-rahamstown) when,
after a brief but severe illness, he peacefuDy entered into rest,
in all the confidence of Christian faith and hope.
(3.) John A. Bailie ; who was converted to God through the
reading of a Methodist Magazine, which had been sent to his
father's family by one of the early Albany settlers. He became
after his conversion, one of the band of noble workers which
the late William Shaw gathered around him, and threw himself
with peculiar ardour into his allotted toil. For several years
he laboured as a Local-preacher in the Bathurst Circuit, sup-
plying the place of an absent Minister. In 1846 he was
accepted as a candidate for oiu* Ministry, and transferred to
the Western Province of the Cape Colony, where, with un-
wearying constancy and considerable success, he continued his
labours in various Circuits amongst the Namaquas and coloured
people. He was remarkably careful in the administration of
our economy, and succeeded in winning the practical sympathy
of the Native Church in favour of the maintenance of all local
agencies. His blameless life, his humble spirit, and his love
for soids secured for him the confidence and esteem of his
brethren, and the grateful attachment of the people. Shortly
after the meeting of the South African Conference, in April,
1888, he was seized with what proved to be fatal illness ; and,
after several weeks of severe suffering, which was borne with
40 OBITUARIES. [1884.
exemplary patience aud submission, he entered into rest,
June !20th, 1883, in the thirty-eighth year of his ministry,
puch beloved both by his brethren and the whole Church of
South Africa.
(4.) Hilton Chbesbbough ; who was born at Barnard-
Castle on the 18th of August, 1810. He was brought up in
connection with the Established Church ; but when about
eighteen years of age was induced to attend the Wesleyan
chapel, and under the Word there preached was brought to
conviction of sin. After a season of deep distress he found
peace with God. He commenced at once to use his gifts in
the service of Him who had done such great things for him ; and
in due time was led to offer himself for our Ministry. By the
Conference of 1833 he was appointed to the "West Indies, where
for a number of years he rendered good and acceptable service.
In 1848 he was compelled by domestic bereavement and fail-
ing health to return to England. After a year's rest at home
and three years work at Gibraltar, with health completely re-
stored, he sailed for the Bahamas to take charge of that District
as General Superintendent. For sixteen years he discharged
the duties of that office with marked ability, unwearied diligence,
aud commensurate Success ; at the same time winning universal
respect in Nassau, where he resided, and throughout the colony.
He was an able and eloquent Preacher, a wise administrator,
and a kind and sympathetic Pastor. In his general intercourse
with men he was manly and straightforward, giving the impres-
sion of great strength and self-reliance. Among his brethren
and intimate friends he was always genial, at times even to play-
fulness ; but he never forgot the Source of all joy and goodness.
His reading extended over a wide area. He became a Super-
numerary in 1872, fixing his residence in Canada. In the
summer of 1881 he crossed the Atlantic to attend the Con-
ference in Liverpool, intending to return to his transatlantic
home before the winter; but the death of a beloved son,
speedily followed by the death of an equally beloved daughter*

at Blackburn, detained him in this country till the following
spring. He journeyed from Blackburn to Liverpool on his way
to Canada in April, 1883 ; but while waiting for the vessel to
sail he was seized with illness, gradually became worse, until
on May 17th, feeling very weak, he said : ' I will try and go
to sleep ; ' repeating, before he composed himself, the hymn :
* Just as I am, without one plea,' etc.
He then slept, but woke no more. He fell asleep in Jesus, in the
seventy-second year of his age, and the forty-ninth of his ministry.
(5.) G-BOEGB Aethite Bosb ; who was born in Nottingham,
England, October 17th, 1832. He joined the Society when
quite a boy, and became a Local-preacher at the early age of
seventeen. A few years later he entered Westminster Training
College, and was subsequently sent to South Africa to take
charge of the Educational work at Healdtown ; he was shortly
afterwards removed to G-rahamstown, and placed in charge of
the Native School there. Evidencing superior gifts he was
received into the Ministry in 1870. At Keiskama-Hoek, Port-
Alfred, Seymour, and Bathiu'st he laboured diligently and
successfully ; and was both happy in his work, and beloved by
the people to whom he ministered. At Bathurst his health
became so impaired that it was imperative that he should have
both change and rest. The Conference of 1883 appointed him
to Winburg, Orange Free State, hoping its dry and bracing
air would recruit his wasting energies ; but his constitution,
already enfeebled by disease, succumbed under the journey, and
he died at Bloemfontein after a painful illness, which he bore
with true Christian patience and fortitude, and joyfully and
triumphantly entered into rest, July 23rd, 1888.
Some of his last sa3rings were : ' Boll up the blind, and let
the glory in ; ' ' There's a heaven for the children.' When
his wife asked him : * Do you know where you are going ? '
' Know where I am going,' he replied ; ' I am going to be
with Jesus for ever, and ever, and ever ! ' He was a diligent
student, a faithful Pastor, an able and acceptable Preacher.

(6.) Geiffith Hampdeit Jones ; who was bom in Wales,
in February, 1856, and died at New Amsterdam, Berbice,
September 14th, 1883, in the twenty-eighth year of his age,
and the seventh of his ministry. The exact date of his conver-
sion is not known ; but the death of a dear and good mother,
while he was but a boy, seems to have influenced his whole life,
and doubtless led to his decision for Christ. He began to work
for Christ very early, and soon received from the Great Head
of the Church the call to his Hfe-work as a Preacher of the
Gospel. He was accepted by the Conference of 1877, and
appointed to labour in the "West Indies. In 1882 Mr. Jones
was appointed to the charge of the Berbice Circuit, where he
wrought to the day of his sickness with a self-sacrificing zeal
truly apostolic. He was absorbed in his work, seemed almost
overwhelmed with a sense of its importance, and was untiring
in his efforts to ' turn many to righteousness,' and to * feed the
flock of God,' until he fell a victim to the terrible fever, which
carried him to his reward ' in the full assurance of faith.' As a
Preacher he was clear, concise, scriptural, and practical; and
did the work of a Pastor with conscientious zeal ; living near to
God, and enjoying much of the Master's favour.
(7.) Giuseppe Cabile; who was born in the province of
Campobasso, in the year 1832. He was destined from early
youth to the priesthood of the Bomish Church; and, after
passing through the requisite training, entered for a time upon
that career. But the honest religious zeal with which he had
espoused the Ministry of Bome soon revolted against the
doctrines and spirit of that Apostate Church. He gave himself
for a time to scholastic pursuits, and succeeded in obtaining an
honourable degree in philosophy and Italian literature. When
the wave of revolution swept over Italy he entered the army as
a volunteer ; and his intelligence and valour were recognised by
high official promotion. It was after the liberation of his
country that he first came into contact with a purer form of
Cbrlstianitjr. The presentation of Jesus as the Truth and the

Life responded to the long-felt wants and yearnings of his
inmost soul, and he joyfully accepted and found the great
salvation. After rendering for a time efficient service in con-
nection ¥dth the Naples schools, he consecrated his gifts to the
higher work of the Christian Ministry. For fourteen years
he laboured with great acceptance and success in some of
the most important stations in the south of Italy. He was an
eloquent Preacher, master of a fluent and polished style; a
laborious Evangelist; a faithful and diligent Pastor. In the year
1880, while stationed at Naples, it pleased the Lord to visit him
with a disease of the eyes of a most distressing character. Shut
up for months in a darkened room, he was so sustained by the
grace of God that patience had in him its perfect work. On
his recovery, he was transferred to Parma in the North Italian
District, and had already made a powerful impression on the
town and neighbourhood, when he was suddenly called to his
eternal reward. Paralysed from the first he was unable to
render any verbal testimony. But a pressure of the hand more
than once repeated, in response to the enquiry if Jesus was near,
gave satisfactory evidence that His faithful Lord was with him
to the end. He passed away on the 26th of October, 1883.
(8.) Abthub Whtfield NieHTiNaiXE, son of the £ev.
Charles Nightingale, was bom at Newcastle-under-Lyme,
December 28th, 1850. Soon after giving his heart to G-od, he
b^an to preach in the Guernsey Circuit. In 1872 he became
a candidate for the Ministry, and was accepted for Foreign
Mission-work. After spending two years at Bichmond, he
was, in 1874, appointed to the Wuchang District, China. He
worked diligently at the language, and soon began the exercise
of his ministry among the Chinese. After some three or four
years' work his health became seriously affected, and in 1880 he
returned to England for a much-needed changa He derived
great benefit from this visit home ; and on his return to China,
dn 1881, appeared so strong and robust that prolonged service
was looked for from him in the work to which he rededicated

himself heartily, and in which he lived happily. But God's
thoughts were not as our thoughts. In the month of April
last he was unexpectedly laid low by a serious attack of
malarial fever. After ten days' illness he breathed his last, on
the 25th of April, in the thirty-fourth year of his age, and the
tenth of his ministry. Unconscious for some days before his
death, he left no dying testimony of triumph ; but the simplicity,
earnestness, and consistency of his Christian faith and character
rendered this unnecessary.
Kind and courteous as a friend, affectionate and faithful as a
colleague, punctual and methodical in the discharge of duty,
diligent and earnest in the exercise of his ministry, he won the
respect of all associated with him.
As an English Preacher he was clear, earnest, and forcible,
and was made a blessing to many. The same characteristics
and similar success marked his preaching to the Chinese ; and
the impressions of his life and work on the hearts of many will
not soon pass away.
(9.) William Allakuea Shabpe; an African of the Nguru
Kanuri tribe, born (about 1851) at Bundi, in Bomu, Central
Soudan, was, when a chUd, kidnapped by native slave-dealers,
and eventually brought to the Western coast. He providentially
became a servant in the Mission-House at Lagos, where he
obtained his freedom when about eleven years of age. An
intelligent and bigoted Mohammedan, he retained his distinctive
dress, and firmly resolved not to become a Christian. The
Christian influences around him, however, and especially the
daily family prayer, proved strong enough to subdue his pre-
judices. The Missionary, observing that deep impressions were
being made on the bright boy, one day asked him to pray in the
family. This circumstance resulted in his decision for Christ.
From the time of his conversion, the ambition of his life
was to carry to his family and kindred near Lake Tshad
the glorious tidings of salvation. He made more than one
voluntary but fruitless attempt to reach his native country.

Lincolnshire, on the 11th of May, 1830. From early childhoixl he

of pardon and peace.

the Institution, are of opinion that these examinations cannot
reasonably be required in his case.

third, and fourth years respectively to be examined in four sub-
jects; but it expects such Probationers to be examined, as a rule,
in five subjects. Probationers of the first year shall be examined

tions shall be specially reported to the Conference.

tution for a fourth year, and those Probationers who, not being
appointed to Circuits, remain at the Institution during the
whole or the greater part of the year, and at its close pass the
r^ular Examinations held for Institution students, shall not be

190 MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS. [1884.
Ebtibement of MnnsTEBS. — The Conference regrets that
many esteemed and beloved Brethren have been compelled this
year to request permission to retire from active service in the
Ministry. In granting their request and recording their names
in the honoured list of Supernumeraries, the Conference recalls
with gratitude the remembrance of the valuable services which
they have rendered to the Connexion; some of them in the
able and faithful oversight of important Districts and Circuits,
and all of them in the edifying ministrations of the pulpit and
the pastorate, and in the exhibition of many graces of Christian
character and life. It expresses the hope that they may be
spared for many years, and that in spheres of comparative
retirement they may not only enjoy the richest consolations of
Divine grace, but may be able to render valuable aid to our
Societies, and so fulfil to the last their long-cherished purpose
' to spread Scriptural holiness throughout the land.'
n.
Theological ExAMiiTATioir of Candidates fob Oeddta-
TiON". — ^The Conference directs: —

when the President of the Conference can attend, and when a
large proportion of the Conference, including its official mem-
bers, may be expected to be present.
2. That an explicit declaration by each Candidate of his belief
of the doctrines of Methodism be substituted for the present
Theological Examination.
3. That the attention of the Chairman of Districts be called
to the following regulations adopted by the Conference of 1815,
Tiz.: — * Before any preacher, having travelled four years, is
lecoimnended by his District Meeting for admission into full
Connexion, he shall undergo a careful examination by the
Qhairman of that Meeting, respecting his acquaintance with
Jtfh WedefB woxka in general, and especially with his Sermons
1884] MISCELLAKEOUa RESOLUTIONS. 191
and his Notes on the New Testament, in addition to the other
examinations required by our existing rules ; and no preacher
shall be so recommended unless the result of his examination be
satisfactory to the Meeting.' (Minutes of Conference, vol. iy.,
p. 122.)
N.B. — In order to prevent any doubts on the subject, the
Conference directs that the above-named examination in Mr.
Wesley's works in general shall be in addition to such an
examination in Theology as has been customary.
The Ballot js Quabtbblt Meetings, etc. — The Con-
ference declares that the practice of voting by ballot in the
administration of Methodism in our Circuits, is contrary to
long-established usagOj and that its adoption would in various
ways be injurious to the interests of our Societies.

the West Indian Connexion, and as such powers, privileges, and
advantages are declared to belong to the Annual and General
Conferences severally, according to the arrangements hereinafter
made and set forth.

designates only Preachers who are admitted into full connexion

General Conference ; but the appointment to that office shall
be with the ' Yearly Conference.'

ference shall be appointed, without nomination, by the * Yearly
Conference;' and if at any time the Minister nominated by the
West Indian G-eneral Conference, whether already appointed

ence; provided that, if during the interval of three years,

fire, or epidemic disease, should make the selected place un-

Committee, and of the Army and Navy Sub- Committee; and

eighty and ninety married Ministers who are without the cus-
tomary provision of a house, involving the Fund in a very large

Circuits under obligation to provide for married Ministers,
many of whom have given the pledge that they woidd so pro-
vide at periods which have expired ; and (3) That of the Grant
from the Thanksgiving Fund, voted ' to assist needy Circuits
ia providing or fumishiag houses for married Ministers who at
present have none,' upwards of J64,000 remains unappropriated;
the Conference directs the Home-Mission Committee to send a
Circular to each Circuit, the case of which was contemplated
when the Qrant from the Thanksgiving Fund was obtained,
urging such Circuits to take immediate steps to provide houses

LAY MISSIONS.
The Conference receives the Eeports of the Metropolitan,
the Manchester and Salford, and the Liverpool Lay Missions,
and it again commends these Missions to the generous support
of the Connexion.
DISTEICT SUSTENTATION FimDS.
The Conference receives the Eeport of these Eunds, of which
the following is an abstract :
When the Fund was commenced in 1874, 356 Circuits were
paying less than the desired minimum stipends, viz. : £150 for
married and £80 for single ministers. This number has been
reduced to 182, and the stipends of 288 ministers have been
increased. Subscriptions have been raised to the amount of
£24,437 during the ten years that have elapsed since the Funds
were started, and to meet this amount assisted Circuits have
raised £20,029.
The amount raised for the Fund during the past year is
£1,913, and the amounts granted to Circuits £1,867, to meet
which grants the Circuits have raised £2,991 .
The special thanks of the Conference are presented to Mr.
T. F. C. May for his services as Treasurer, on the occasion
of his presenting the last Eeport to the Conference of the
District Sustentation Funds.

Q. XXV. What are the Eesolutions of the Conference on
the affairs of the Atjxiliabt Puitd ?
A. 1. The Conference receives and adopts the Eeport of the
Committee.
2. The Conference, while rejoicing in the cheerful support
given to this Fund, desires to impress on our Ministers and people
the necessity of continued exertion to sustain and increase the
regular sources of income — ^viz., the contributions in the Classes,
the Private Subscriptions, and the Public Collections. Several
legacies of large amount were received during the past year ; but
this source of income is necessarily fluctuating and uncertain.
3. The Members of Society in the Q-erman Mission, in
London, having, for some years past contributed to the Auxi-
liary Fund, and there being now organised a Fund for tibe
Wom-Out Q-erman Ministers in Germany itself, this Committee
deems it expedient and desirable that the sums heretofore raised
by the German Society in London, should be paid over to that
Fund, and that their future contributions should be transmitted
in like manner.
4. The Conference resolves that the scale of allowances to
Ministers' Widows shall be the same as last year — viz., fourteen
pounds in addition to ten shillings per annum for each year
that the husband travelled.
5. The thanks of the Conference are presented to the Itev.
Dr. Williams and Mr. John ^N'apier, the General Treasurers, and
to the Eev. Herbert Hoare, the Secretary; also to the District
Treasurers and the Circuit Treasurers, for their services during
the past year.
6. The thanks of the Conference are presented to those friends
who, during liie past yeaj, have generously aided this Fund by
special Donations ; to those Executors who have paid Legacies
to this Fund ; and also to those Trustees who have contributed
to it from their Chapel-income.

9. The Conference directs that the following resolutions
previously adopted shall be reprinted : —
(1.) The Conference resolves that wherever it is practicable
two Collections shall be made annually in each Chapel through-^
out the Connexion on behalE of the Funds of the Theological
Institution, and that these Collections shall be made, if possible,
on some Sunday in December.
(2.) The Conference affirms the principle, which has from the
beginning been recognised in the administration of the Institu-
tion, in regard to charges on account of Students, that such
Students as have the means, or whose friends have the means,
shall be expected to contribute, in whole or in part, according
to their ability, towards the cost of their maintenance and
education, and directs the Committee to consider and adopt
such methods as may be deemed best for carrying this rule
into effect.
10. The question of the date of closing the accounts of the
Theological Institution with a view to the presentation of an
audited Balance-Sheet to the Conference having been referred
to the consideration of the G-eneral Committee, and the Com-
mittee having reported that there is no necessity for any change
in the date of closing the accounts, which is June 30th, provided
that prompt payment of subscriptions and collections be made,
the Conferenx;e directs the Superintendents of Circuits to remit
all subseriptioDS and collections for the Theological Institution
to the General Treasurers early in the year, and instructs the
(Chairmen of Districts to ascertain, by enquiry at the May Dis-
trict Meeting, whether such paymenta Wn^ beftn made.
1884.] WE8LEYAN THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTION. 263
11. The Conference regards the fiftieth Anniyersary of the
Theological Institution as a fitting occasion for special and
joyful thanksgiving to Q-od, and for renewing its confidence in
the principles and spirit which have direct€Ki the work of the
Institution during the last half century ; and believing that an
intelligent, educated, and earnest Ministry is still the need of
the times, gratefully recognises that provision now exists for
the efficient training of all Candidates for the Ministry, and
commends this department of work to the prayerful consideration
and generous support of the Connexion.
12. The Conference resolves that all the existing Branches of
the Theological Institution are required in order to meet the
necessities of the Connexion in regard to the Training of Can-
didates for the Ministry.
13. The Conference resolves that a proportion of the Mis-
sionary Candidates shall be trained in the Home Branches of
the Theological Institution, and that any vacaijcies so created at
Eichmond shall be filled up with Candidates for the Home work.
14. The Conference directs the General Committee of the
Theological Institution to consider, during the year, how best
to arrange for the interchange of Home and Foreign Students,
so as not to interfere with the Missionary character of the
Richmond Branch of the Institution, as contemplated and pro-
vided for in the Trust-deed ; and also to consider whether any
and what modifications can be advantageously made in the
administration of the Theological Institution, in the constitution
of the Tutorships, the curriculum, or otherwise, and specially
if any steps can be taken to give a distinctive character and
greater efficiency to the Eichmond Branch as a specifically
Missionary College.
15. The Conference directs that the Quarterly Meetings of
t^e G-eneral Committee shall be held in Birmingham, Man-
chester, Leeds, and London successively.
16. The Conference appoints the following Discipline Com-
mittees : —

EDUCATION.
Q. XXVn. What are the Eesolutions of the Conference on
the subject of Weslbtak BDUOATioif ?
A. 1. The Conference receives the Eeport of the proceed-
ings of the Education Committee during the year, together with a
Statistical Statement relating to Training Colleges, Day Schools,
Sunday Schools, and the Connexional Sunday-School Union, and
directs that an Abstract thereof be printed in the Minutes as an
Appendix. (See Appendix, No. II.)
2. The Conference directs that the following Eesolutions,
previously adopted, shall be reprinted ; —
(1.) The Conference empowers the Education Committee to
make Grants, on inspection, to new Schools to which the pro-
visions of the Minute of the Education Department, dated
June 21st, 1878, apply, and for the probationary period during
which, under the said Minute, such Schools cannot receive
Grants in aid from the Department.
(2.) The Conference expresses its opinion that, in view of the
working of existing arrangements for Public Elementary Edu-
cation, it is highly desirable that the number of "Wesleyan Day
Schools should at least be maintained. The Conference there-
fore strongly recommends that before any steps are taken
towards the closing or transfer of any "Wesleyan Day School,
the proposal to close or transfer it be communicated to the
Education Committee, in order that they may have an oppor-
tunity of suggesting alternative proposals for the consideration
of Local Managers.
(3.) The Conference directs that in all ordinary cases of
Day-Schools conducted on Wesleyan Trust premises, no such
Schools shall be discontinued so long as there is a reasonable
prospect of their being carried on without serious embarrass-
ment. The same general principle shall apply to Wesleyan
Day Schools conducted in premises rented for the purpose under
the management of a recognised Weeleyan School Committee,
256 EDUCATION. [1884
Wben, however, the discontinuance of a Day School is pro-
posed, before such proposal is carried into effect the Superin-
tendent shall consult the Trustees, the Managing Committee
and the Subscribers ; and if in any case there is a considerable
division of opinion, the case shall be submitted to the Quarterly
Meeting of the Circuit. In all cases, the general principle laid
down by the Conference respecting the Transfer of Schools
— viz., that the Superintendents of the Circuits, with the
Managers and Trustees acting in concert, shall consult th<
Education Committee — shall be adhered to.
(4.) The Conference declares that it shaU not be deemed to b
within the power and option of a Superintendent to proven
the establishment or continuance of a Wesleyan Day School
so long as responsible parties pledge themselves to bear all thi
financial cost and risk,
i (5.) (i.) In view of the interpretation which is put upoi
Section xxm. of the Elementary Education Act by the Lord
of the Committee of Council, to the effect that any transfer o
a School, settled upon our School Model Deed No. I., to j
School Board, for any term whatever, for the purposes of sue!
School Board, must be sanctioned not only by the signatures o

EELIGIOTJS OBSBEVANCE OP THE LOED'S DAT.
Q. XXIX. "Wliat are the Eesolutions of the Conference on
receiving the Eeport of the Committee for Promoting the
Eelichoits Obsbbvanob of the Loed's Day ?
A. 1. The Conference adopts the Eeport of the Committee and
rejoices in the prospect of . speedy success in the cessation of
the liquor traffic on the Lord's Day in England, and also that
the attempts persistently made to impair the sanctity of the
Day by legislative enactments have hitherto been defeated.
2. The Conference in view of the systematic and organized
opposition to the Divine authority of the Sabbatic Institution
which exists in this country, and which receives so much sup-
port from the rationalistic and latitudinarian spirit of the age,
recognises the importance of increased vigilance and fidelity on
the part of the friends of the Sabbath, and especially of main-
taining a conscientious consistency in the due observance of
the Sacred Day.
8. The Conference, deeply impressed with the perils to which
the children in our large towns are exposed, through the open-
ing of shops on the Lord's Day, commends to the attention of
all who are engaged in Sunday-school work the importance and
necessity of warning the children against making purchases on
that Day.

re-appointed Secretaries, and the following Ministers and

Q. XXXI. What are the Eesolutions of the Conference on
the subject of Temperance ?
1. The Conference receives and adopts the Eeport of the
Temperance Committee, and directs that an abstract of the
Eeport be printed in the Minutes. (See Appendix, No. VIII.)
2. The Conference hears with great satisfaction of the
constant progress of the Methodist Temperance work among
the young, as shown by the fact that there are now in Q-reat
Britain 2,821 Wesley an-Mefchodist Bands of Hope with 291,989
members. The Conference would urge upon the Superintendents
and Teachers of Sunday-schools the great advantage of enrolling
as many Sunday-scholars as possible in the Bands of Hope.
3. The Conference regrets that there are not more than 337
Wesleyan-Methodist Temperance Societies in existence, and
would ipipress upon our people the great importance of multi-
plying and sustaining theConnexional Temperance organizations
as well as of co-operating in undenominational Temperance work.
208
TEMPERANCE.
[1884.
4. The Conference rejoices to learn that the March Quarterly
Meetmgs and the Sunday-schools have petitioned so promptly
and so heartily for the Sunday Closing of public-houses in Eng-
land. The Conference greatly regrets that Parliament still
delays to grant this rightful boon, which has been so long
refused to the people of England.
5. The Conference recommends that on the second Sunday in
December in each year special reference shall be made in all
"Wesleyan-Methodist places of worship, and in all "Wesleyan
Sunday-schools, to the appalling extent and dire results of
Intemperance in Q-reat Britain.

the commencement of these schemes, and that, in future, more
care should be taken by the South Wales District Meeting, and
the Committee of the South Wales Chapel Fund, to secure the
actual payment of a larger proportion of promised contributions

ments for Home and Foreign Missionary Meetings, by Monthly

leyan Chapels in the North Wales District where there are
persons willing to meet who cannot understand Welsh.
2. That in the Welsh Watering Places, and other localities

English Circuits should be formed.

preaching exclusively, and a small but increasing English
population, an English Lay Agent might be appointed to work

present Pastoral Session of the Conference, and further post-
pones the consideration of the subject until its Eepresentative

The Committee has power to appoint its own officers and to
carry out such special Home-Mission Work during the year as
may be deemed desirable. It is directed to consider the case of
Chapels, situate in the midst of dense and necessitous popula-
tions, which may be regarded as special centres for Home-
Mission Work, and whether in the case of such Chapels any
difficulty may arise from the provisions of the Deeds by which
the premises are held, and also whether any special form of
Deed is advisable for Mission-Eooms hereafter to be erected
under any scheme that may be adopted.
The Conference adopts in principle the suggestion of the
Metropolitan Home Mission Sub- Committees, that in order to
bring the densely populated and necessitous localities of London
more distinctively within the scope of Evangelistic and Home*
Mission effort, certain districts, the spiritual needs of which
cannot be provided for by the Circuits to which they belong,
shall be detached from such Circuits, and constituted special
ground for Home-Mission Work, the boundaries of such dis-

are agreed the Committee is empowered to take immediate
action.
Old Chapels in Labgb Towns. — The Conference reeolves
that inasmuch as there are many old Chapels in large towns
which have small and decreasing congregations, owing to the

be appointed to sit during the year to consider the subject and
prepare suggestions for a larger Committee, consisting of tiie
members of the preparatory Committee together with the

STANDING OEDEES.
1. Names and Addresses of Circuit Stewards, — ^The Super-
intendents of Circuits are required to furnish the Chairman
of the District with the names and addresses of the Circuit
Stewards immediately after the December Quarterly Meeting ;
and, immediately after the March Quarterly Meeting, with the
name and address of any gentleman elected to attend the May
District Meeting in the place of any Circuit Steward declaring
his inability to attend such District Meeting.
2. Admission of Members, — Mistakes having occasionally
arisen respecting the meaning of the Eule of 1797 on the
subject of the admission of persons who are on trial as
Members of our Society, the Conference deems it necessary
to repeat the statement. That it never was intended that the
names of all those who are on trial should be laid before a
Leaders' Meeting for distinct and formal discussion; but solely,
that if there be^ in the opinion of a Leader, any reasonable
objection to the character and conduct of any person who is on
trial, such objection may be stated by him; and that, if the
validity of the objection be established to the satisfaction of the
Meeting, a Member's Ticket shall not be given to the person
so objected to, at the Quarterly Visitation.
3. Trial of Members, — When a charge is brought against
any Member resident in a place where no Leaders' Meeting is
statedly held, the case shall be referred for investigation to the
Leaders' Meeting of the principal Society in the Circuit Town.
The Lfeader or Leaders, and the Society Stewards, of the Society
of which the accused is a Member, shall be associated with the
Leaders' Meeting for the purposes of the investigation.
If the accused person is a Trustee, tilien there shall also be
associated with the Leaders' Meeting, as above constituted, the
Trustees of the Chapel with which the Society of which he is a
Member is connected ; or, if there is no such Chapel, then the
Trustees of the Chapel in connection with the principal Society
1884.] BTANDINQ ORDERS, 291
in the Circuit Town. But no Trustee shall, in either case, be
so associated, unless he is himself a Member of Society in the
same Circuit.
4. Attendance of Ministers at Official Meetings, — ^Mistakes
having arisen on this subject, the Conference deems it proper
and necessary to declare, that all the Ministers and Preachers on
Trial appointed to a Circuit have a constitutional right to take
part as members in our Leaders' Meetings, and in all other
official meetings of the Circuits to which they are appointed.
5. Probationers and the Lord^s Stipper, — The Conference,
having been informed that, in several Circuits, the Preachers
on Trial have very rarely an opportunity of receiving the
Lord's Supper, resolves that, in compliance with a former
injunction on this subject, the Superintendents be required to
make the necessary arrangements, in their Circuit-Plans, for
securing to their junior Colleagues proper facilities for par-
taking of this Holy Sacrament.
6. Liverpool Minutes. — ^The Besolutions adopted by the Con-
ference in the year 1820, and usually called the 'Liverpool
Minutes,' besides being read and considered in the Armiiftl
Meeting of each District Committee, (as our Standing Eegula-
tions require,) shall also be read at the "Weekly Meeting of
Ministers in each Circuit, next following the September
Quarterly Meeting, or instead thereof the Resolutions on the
Work of God, and on Pastoral*Duties adopted in the years
1835 and 1847 ; and the Chairmen of Districts are directed to
make enquiry concerning the due^observance of this regulation.
7. Supply of Vacancies, — Listances having occurred in which
Superintendents and other Ministers needing Circuitnsupplies
on occasion of sickness and various casualties, have applied to
the President of the Conference, without first taking .counsel
with the Chairman of the District ; the Conference directs the
Brethren to return to the old plan of first communicatrng with
the Chairman in every such case, who is also directed to satisfy
himself, by personal enquiry, that a local supply cannot ^be
obtained.
292 STANDINa ORDERS. [1884.
8. Beadmg of the Pastoral Address, — The Superintendents are
directed to appoint special Society Meetings, to be held at the
principal Chapels in their Circuits, for the purpose of having
the Pastoral Address read, and made the subject of suitable
remarks and exhortations.
. 9. Recognition of New Members. — The public and formal
Eiocognition of New Members of Society is in accordance with
early Methodist usage. A public welcome given by the Society
tends to encourage the New Members, whilst the formal recog-
nition will deepen their sense of responsibility. Such
recognition might be associated with the administration of the
Lord's Supper; or it might be found expedient to recognise
New Members at a Society-meeting after the Quarterly Visita-
tion of the Qasses ; or, in villages, a Eecognition Service
might take the place of a week-evening service. The Confer-
ence, therefore, directs that, from time to time, meetings for
the Eecognition of New Members be held, as far as practicable,
in every Circuit, subject to the discretion of the Superintendent
as to the frequency and exact nature of such meetings.
10. Annual Return of Members. — The number of Members
in the Society, and of persons admitted on trial, as taken at the
March Quarterly Visitation in each year, and reported at the
District Meetings, shall be the number returned on the Minutes
of the following Conference.
11. Examination of Pupil^Teachers. — The Conference directs
that the Annual Examination of Pupil-Teachers in Eeligious
Knowledge shall be held on the last Saturday in October and
on the first Saturday in March ; that the questions shall be
prepared by the General Committee; that the Examination
shall be held, either in the several Circuits by the Super-
intendent Ministers or their Colleagues, or at suitable places
for Central District Examinations, as may be determined by
the September District Meetings, and agreed to by the respec-
tive School Committees ; and that the written answers shall be
forwarded to the General Secretary, and shall be valued by
Central Board of Examiners to be elected by the Genen^l
1884] iSTjJrbiNQ ohduMs. 29a
Committee. The Conference further recommends that, in con-
nection with Central Examinations, Meetings of Teachers and
Pupil-Teachers be held under the direction of the Chairman
of the District and the District Educational Secretary.
12. Q darterly Fast-Days, — The days upon which the Quarterly
Past, appointed by Eule, is to be observed throughout the
Connection, for the following year, are, Eridays, September 26th,
and December 23th, 1884, March 27th, and June 26th, 1885. .
13. Discipline of Methodism, — The Chairmen of Districts are
enjoined to make particular enquiries at their Annual Meetings
in reference to all the points of Discipline specified in the first
Article of the Answer to Q. xxvm. in the Minutes of 1825.
14. Candidates for Admission on Trial. — (1.) Those Preachers
who are recommended for Admission on Trial shall preach in
the presence of at least three of the Ministers of the District
Committee, (at or about the time of its Annual Meeting in May,)
to be selected by the Chairman, exclusive of the Superinten-
dents by whom the Candidates respectively are proposed; and
a special report of the Sermons shall be made in the I)istrict
Meeting, and immediately forwarded in writing to the Secre-
taries of the Committee for the Examination of Candidates.
(2.) The Conference directs that arrangements shall be made
by the May District Meetings for the hearing of each Candidate
by one Minister of the District, in addition to those who have
heard him before his recommendation by the District Committee,
such Minister to forward his Eeport to the General Secretaries
of the Examination Committee.
15. Preachers on Trial, — ^Whenever it shall be found to be
practicable. Preachers on Trial shall preach during the District'
Meetings.
16. Candidates for Ordination, — The Conference directs that
Candidates for Ordination shall, at or before the May District
Meeting, preach before three Ministers of the District, who
shall report to the Meeting.
17. Annual Returns of Members, — ^The Betums of the
Members in the Society are to be forwarded, immediately after
294 8TANDINQ ORDERS, [1884.
the May District Meetings, to the Eev. John W. GFebevbs, Wei-
ley an Gefntmary Hall, Bishopsgate Street Within, London, E.G,
18. Eetv/ms of the Military, — The Chairmeii of Districts are
directed to enquire of the Superintendents of Circuits in which
troops are marched to Divine service in our chapels, the average
number of non-commissioned officers and men in attendance,
distinguishing the number of Members in Society. These re-
turns must include, also, the actual number of soldiers who are
declared Wesleyan-Methodists. The returns given are to be
recorded in the District Minutes. If there be no military
attendance in the District, a note to that effect shall be inserted.
19. Home-Missionary Ministers. — The Conference directs that
a special enquiry shall be made at the May District Meetings,
whether the Regulations for the employment of Home-Mis-
sionary Ministers, adopted by the Conference, have been faith-
fully observed in the Circuits to which Home-Missionary
Minif^rs are appointed ; and that a Eeport in each case shall
be made to the Conference.
20. Juvenile Home and Foreign Missionary Associations, -^Jn
the case of Circuits which are not in a position to ask for the
appointment of a Home-Missionary Minister,- and to give the
pledge required, but which feel the necessity of adopting some
plan of Some-Missionary operations, the subjoined allocation
is allowed : — One-third of the sums received to be paid to the
Funds of the Foreign Missionary Society, it being expressly
understood that in every case the contribution to the Foreign
Missions shall be at least equal to what has been presented from
Christmas Offerings, on the average of several preceding years ;
one-third to the Home-Mission and Contingent Fund; one-
third to the Circuit, to be expended in support of local move-
ments of a directly Home-Missionary character, under the
direction of the Superintendent, and of a Committee to be
appointed at the December Quarterly Meeting (See Minutes,
1863 and 1877).
21. Lay-Members of District Gommittees, — The Chairmen of
ktricts shall be required to send a circular to the Lay-
^Jjata
1884.] STANDlNa OllDERS, 295
Members of the Distaict Committee, requeeting their attend-
ance on the Wednesday, and, if necessary, on the Thursday,
in the week of the AriTiiial District Meeting, specifying the
business that will be brought forward, and particularly men-
tioning any subject that may have been specially remitted by
the Conference to the consideration of such Meeting. A
similar circular shaU be prepared and sent with reference to
the Financial District Meeting.
'12. JRepresentative to the Stationing Committee. — The Minister
who shall be the Bepresentative of any District to the Stationing
Committee shall be chosen by the united votes of t^e Ministers
and Laymen who are members of the District Committee.
23. bivinon of Circuits. — ^Before District Committees consent
to the division of any Circuit, enquiry must be made wheilier
due attention has been paid to satisfactory arrangements for
the Trust-Estates affected by the proposed division, especially
in reference to any debts existing thereon.
24. Botmdaries of Circuits, — ^Whereas difficulties have arisen
from the want of accurate and recorded definitions of the
boundaries of Circuits, the Conference directs that, in future,
the boundaries of Circuits which are divided shall be iaXty
stated in the Minutes of the District-Meeting to which they
belong, and that the Secretary of the District shall send a copy
of the record to be inserted in the Minutes of the Quarterly
Meetings of the Circuits concerned ; and that, in such cases,
copies of the Ordnance maps, or some other maps, of the locali-
ties concerned, be coloured, so as to show the boundaries, and
deposited in the safes provided for the custody of the Trust-
Deeds of the Circuits. The Confereuce further directs that
these arrangements be made in all cases of alteration in the
boundaries of existing Circuits.
25. Minor District Meetings. — ^In all cases in which the holding
of a Minor District Meeting is rendered necessary, such Meeting,
except under the Begulation passed by the Conference in 1840,
{Minutes, Vol. IX., p. 94,) shall be held in the District in which
the accused party resides, the accused and the accuser selecting
296 STAXDiyG OML^nS. [1884.
respectitely two Minifters from the said District, who, with the
Chairman thereof, shall constitate the Minor District Meeting
Should either party refuse or decline to choose two Ministers ,
to act as members of the Meeting, the Chairman is empowered
and directed to nominate them so that the number required by
Hule may be made up.
2Q, District Minutes. — ^The Chairmen of Districts are required
to procure three complete copies of the Minutes of the several
Annual and other Meetings of the District Committees, tran-
scribed according to the order of time in which such Meetings
shall have been held, and duly signed by the Chairman and
Secretary. One of these copies shall be inserted in the District
Becords ; a second shall be reserved for the use of the Chairman
and Financial Secretary at the Conference ; and a third shall
be sent to the Bbv. David J. Wallee, Wesley an Training College
Westminster^ 8.W., not later than June 23rd, and delivered by
him to the President during the §rst week of each Conference,
to be preserved under his direction, as a document appertaining
to the Connexion. The several copies of the last class shall be
written on foolscap paper, that they may be annually bound
together in one volume.
27. Schedules from Departments, — ^As it is obviously desirable
that the Committees appointed by the Conference to manage
the several departments of the business of the Connexion, in
the intervals of its Session, should be furnished with as much
statistical information as possible on the matters of business
severally confided to their care, th^ Conference authorises them,
through their appointed Officers, to send, when they deem it
expedient, suitable Circulars and Schedules to the Superinten-
dents, or to the Chairmen of Districts, as the case may require
and directs the Superintendents and Chairmen duly to return
such Schedules properly filled up.
28. Elections to Departmental OJi:es, — The Conference re-
solves that in any new appointment to a Departmental Office,
the Minister elected shall have a clear majority of the total
number of votes cast; and that when sudi majority is not
1884.] STANDING OJRDUMS. 297
obtained on the first ballot, a second ballot shall be taken on the
first two, or if necessary, the first three names on the list which
have the largest number of votes.
29. Committee on Appeals and other Gases, — ^At each Oon-
erence, the President shall nominate, not later than the second
day, a Committee of twenty-one members of the Conference, to
whom shall be referred, without discussion, all cases requiring
further enquiry touching the character of Ministers or Preachers
on Trial, immediately after the reading of the Minutes of Dis-
trict Committees thereupon, or of any notice of charge or
appeal relating thereto, or for any reason which the Conference
may deem sufficient.
Any complainant or appellant, or any person under enquiry,
may object to one in three of the members of the said Com-
mittee sitting on his case ; and the President shall then appoint
some other member of the Conference to act instead of the
member so objected to.
Special Cases to be decided upon by the Conference may be
referred to the whole Committee; but it shall, for ordinary
purposes, be divided into three sections, for each of which a
Convener shall be appointed, who shall be responsible for pre-
paring the business of the Committee.
30. Lay-Memhers of Conneosional Committees. — ^In respect to
the several Committees of the Connexional Punds, the Con-
ference resolves, that a certain number of Lay Q-entlemen,
being at least one-sixth of the number of Lay Members of
each Departmental Committee, shall annually retire from each
Committee by rotation, the same persons being ineligible for
immediate re-appointment, except in special cases, and after
nomination for such re-appointment by the vote of four-fifths of
the Members of the Committee present.
31. Pr^arations for the Stationing Committee. — ^The Eepre-
sentative of each District shall send to the Secretary of
the Conference, not later than the 27th day of June in each
year, upon a Schedule to be provided by him, complete lists
of (1) the arrangements provisionally tnade for the Stationing
298 MEETING OF CONNEXIONAL COMMITTEES. [1884.
of IGnifltera in his District, (2) the invitations accepted by
Ministers in his District to CLrcuits in other Districts, and (3)
all Ministers in his District for whom no arrangement has
been made ; — ^£rom these lists the Secretary of the Conference
shall compile, and cause to be printed in a convenient foian
for nse in the Stationing Committee, one complete list, of all
arrangements thus provisionally made, and a separate list of
all Ministers for whom provisional arrangements have not
been made; and a copy of these lists shall be sent^^ each
member of the Stationing Committee at least seven day|( before
the meeting of that Committee.
32. Conference Flan, — The Superintendents of those Orcuits
in which the Conference may, from year to year, assemble, shall,
with the previous approbation of the President, (as already
required by Bule,) complete and print, not later than the 15th
day of June in each year, a Flan of the order of preacjiing in
the principal chapels during the Session of the Conference;
and shall also, on or before the above date, inform every person
whom they have appointed to preach in those chapels,.«of the
time and place of such appointment. And in order t^t the
Flan thus prepared may not be violated, to the disappointment
of our friends, and to the great inconvenience of other .parties
concerned, no Minister who attends the Conference shiJl be at
liberty to make an engagement to preach in any other Circuit,
either on the Sabbath, or on any other day, during thQ period

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
Mat it please TorE Majesty, —
We, your Majesty's most faithful subjects, Ministers of the
Gospel in the Connexion established by the late Eev. John
Wesley, A.M., now assembled in our annual Conference, beg to
approach your Majesty with the expression of our sincere and
dutiful condolence on the occasion of the irreparable loss wkich
your Majesty has recently sustained by the decease of His Boyal
Highness the Duke of Albany.
With all your Majesty's subjects we ever entertained the
highest admiration for those rare gifts of. mind and taste, which
had already approved themselves in many important spheres,
and which gave sure promise, had Q-od so willed it, of a wider
exercise and usefulness in years to come. Neither have we
failed to recognise gratefully those eminent moral qualities for
which he was conspicuous, and which made him an example
equally admirable and exalted of such things as are lovely and
of good report.
It is our most earnest prayer t^at God may comfort jSdr
Majesty under this great sorrow, and ever multiply upon you
and upon each member of your Majesty's beloved family the
choicest gifts of His mercy.
We beg, at the same time, to offer to your Majesty our most
hearty congratulations on the birth of the son of the Duchess of
Albany, and to express our ardent hope that he may be a con-

THE ANJSUAL ADDEES3
OP THE
CONFERENCE TO THE METHODIST SOCIETIES.
DeAB BflErHEEK, —
We greet you ' in the Lord.' In Him our love to you, as
also your love to us, began; in Him it is sustained and sancti-
fied, and in Him it is from time to time renewed. He ' loved
us, and gave Himself for us/ He 'loved us, and washed us from
our sins in His own blood.' Gratefully acknowledging the
happy constraint of the bond which binds you and us alike in
aUegiance to Him, we greet you as beloved ' in the Lord.'
Tou wiU rejoice with us to know that the numbers of those
who are in fellowship with Him, and with us, continue to
increase. More than 51,000 new members of Society have
joined us during the year, and more than 35,000 remain on
trial ; though, when allowance is made for losses by death and
other causes, we record a net increase only of 3,281. That we
have thus far been blessed by God through the year is matter
of devout gratitude, and over so many souls brought from dark-
ness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, we rejoice
as over great spoil. It has been gained in a bloodless victory
through the strength of Him who leadeth us in triumph in
Christ, and 'maketh manifest' through us 'the savour of His
knowledge in every place.' Por the increase has not been
confined to a few favoured neighbourhoods, nor has it been
due to the efforts of a few, but is spread over the whole Con-
nexion, and is a testimony to the devoted service of co-workers
in north and south, and east and west. As the Apostle Paul
tells us, it is ' the whole body' which is to make 'increase of ^q
20
306 ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE [1884.
body/ and this 'according to the working in due measure of each
several part.' We trust ' each several part' has worked in its due
measure. "We rejoice to Recognise the labours of those who •
have been specially appointed to do the work of an evangelist,
and cannot but discern that in many places it has been through
their efforts under God that societies have been stirred up to
greater earnestness in aggressive efforts, and waverers encour-
aged to come to decision. But the labours of these faithful
men are blessed in proportion to the preparedness of societies
to receive and co-operate with them ; and where this co-opera-
tion is meagre and half-hearted, failure cannot but be expected.
No stirring and tending will rekindle a fire where the scanty
sparks have been allowed to die out, and no sudden shower of
rain will fertilize ground in which good seed has been suffered
to perish. Expect abundant blessing in the ordinary means of
grace, keep the fire always burniDg upon the altar, look for a
spiritual harvest, not once a year, but all the year round. 'Stir
up the gift' that is in you, brethren, that there may be no need
of stirring up from without ; or, if stimulus from without be
found of service, that the results may be effectual and permanent.
For the permanence of the work thus graciously begun we
are extremely anxious. Some districts which showed a large
increase a year or two ago report a sad falling-off this year.
An examination of the numbers for the last few years shows
that a startlingly large proportion of those added to us year by
year are year by year lost again, so far as our reports are
concerned. Some have been taken to a better world. But by
far the larger number are reported as having ceased to meet.
We by no means assume that they are all lost to the Church of
Christ. But when all allowance has been made for loss by
emigration from the country and transference to other churches,
it is a fact which should cause grave concern that we must add
48,000 new members every year before we can begin to count
clear increase. We do not regard this in a spirit of discourage-
ment, for in a large body considerable wear and waste may be
expected, while it cannot but be deplored. But we do feel thaf
we are called most carefully to examine into the significance of
this diminution, observable in times of net increase as well as
decrease, and enquire how by God's help it is to be arrested.
With those who are set apart to be overseers of the flock
and to feed the Church of God, the chief responsibility in this^^-^n^
1884.] METHODIST SOCIETIES, 307
matter must rest. A duty devolves upon us as your Pastors
which we cannot divest ourselves of, cannot delegate to others.
But we would affectionately urge upon you all, labourers
together with us, considerations which may be of service in
guarding and conserving the work of grace in the hearts of our
members. Let us see to it that the foundations of the kingdom
of grace are well and securely laid in each individual soul;
that the nourishment afforded by good and abundant teaching
is freely imparted and heartily received ; and further, that the
discipline and training provided by our Church, according to the
will of God, is systematically and diligently used.
Dear brethren who have lately joined us, young Hiany of
you in years, young all of you in the Divine life, search your
hearts diligently, and know clearly where you stand. Do you
enjoy the clear and happy assurance of Q od's forgiving love ?
Have you deeply, earnestly, utterly repented of sin, forsaken it;
as far as you know, even in its most subtle and deceptive and
engaging forms ? Are you trusting wholly in Christ as your
Saviour, in His atoning death as the one Sacrifice for sins, and
His living presence to give you power over sin? Do you
clearly realize these truths in your own experience, though it
may be in the midst of many temptations without, and mis-
givings sometimes within ? Your stability in the future depends
largely upon your obtaining now a firm footing on the Rock of
Aga^. Suffer, we beseech you, no uncertainty here; let no
vague hopes and desires like tinted "mists hide from you the
narrow path; no repetition of familiar phrases, no unwilling-
ne.ss to deal soarchin<2;ly with yourselves lead you to drift you
]<now not wliither. Have anil keep your hearts right with
God. Know that ye are of the truth, and assure your hearts
before Him, because 'God is greater than our heart, and knoweth
all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have
we confidence toward God.'
And you, dear brethren, who as Leaders of Classes share with
us the charge of the flock, with whom it largely rests to direct
and guide those who, in exciting special services, have been
moved with a strong desire to flee from the wrath to come, do
you be faithful as well as tender in your care of souls. Most
kindly, but search in gly, help aU to know themselves. Do not
be satisfied with general expressions of good desires. Suffer
none to be self-deceived, or to grope long in spiritual twilight.
308 ANNXTAL ADDRESS !rO THE [1884.
In the Class-meeting, or, i£ desirable, more privately, see that
each one is quite clear as to the way into the kingdom, and
that those who have entered by the True Door are walking by
' the same rule/ minding ' the same thing/ Encourage them to
work for Christ ; but do so discreetly, that they may engage in
such work as their youth and comparative ignorance in the
Christian life fits them for. An infant must not be set to
walk alone too soon, or his limbs may permanently suffer.
But the zeal which prompts to active enterprise for a newly-
found Saviour needs only careful direction to be a help in
•tabHshing, strengthemng, settling in the faith.
For the new life of the spirit, food is above all necessary.
We exhort, with St. Peter, all, as 'new-born babes,' to *long for
the spiritual milk which is without guile, that they may grow
thereby unto salvation.' If you do not long for it, you do not
truly live. If you long for it only a little, your life will be
feeble; if intermittently, you will be spiritual invalids, occa-
sionally in health, but with intervals of sickness, in any one of
which spiritual death is too likely to overtake you. Be strong,
brethren ; and that you may be strong, let the word of Grod
abide in you. The letter of the Scriptur.es should be familiar to
you. It ought to be more familiar to us all than it is ; the very
words of Clmst are spirit and life. But the letter of Scripture
is to be read over, thought over, prayed over, repeated over and
over, in order that its spirit may be ours, that we may be ' filled
with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding.' Be specially careful to observe Christ's own
ordinance : ' Do this in remembrance of Me ; ' and regularly, at the
Lord's table, ' feed on Him in your heart by faith with thanks-
giving.' It has been said that many of our members are negli-
gent in this important matter ; for the Master's sake, brethren,
for your own sakes, give no ground for this reproach, nor slight
so valuable a means of grace. Consider it a duty to read all you
can that will help you to understand better the Book of books.
Be on your guard against the insidious spirit of unbelief which
animates mmch of current literature. Head yourselves, and
encourage your young people to read, the wholesome literature
of our time, of which there is abundance — we would specify the
publications of our own Book-Eoom, — which will build up the
character, as well as inform the mind and cultivate the taste.
Our habits of thought are formed, often unconsciously, by what
1884.] METHODIST SOCIETIES. 309
we read in leisure moments. Covet earnefitly, and cultivate
diligently, true spiritual knowledge. The lack of this knowledge
is the secret of much instability. Soldiers must fall out of the
ranks on the march faint and overdone, if they have not touched
food for days. * Grow in the grace' that you may grow 'in the
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ' ; grew also
in His knowledge that you may grow in His grace.
The experience of generations of Methodists has taught the
value of the discipline of the Class-meeting in the training of
the spiritual life at all its stages ; and further, that regularity
and attention to details is necessary for the maintenance of a
Class in a healthy spiritual state. Details are most important
in their place. Nothing will compensate for the absence of a
full, strong current of religious life and holy influence in a
Class-meeting ; but the stream may be allowed to run dry for
want of due care of the channel. The perfume of devotion
and spiritual service is the main thing; but that it may be
conserved, the vessel that contains it must be carefully kept
and used. Do not then be unmindful of the regular fulfilment
of the routine-work of a Class-meeting, upon the due perform-
ance of which so much of the success of a Class depends. If in
each Class members are constantly slipping away, and its num-
bers are only sustained by perpetual additions, the same evil
will of course be observed in the total numbers returned to us.
We lay it upon our own souls as a solemn duty, to attend to this
important part of Q-od's work; we affectionately urge Class-
leaders to work together with us, and members to work with
their Leaders, that the wasting disease, which even in years of
increase impairs the full vigour of our Church, may be arrested
in its beginnings.
The work of building up which we have thus specially laid
upon us is best begun early. We rejoice to find 41,821
members of Junior Society-classes reported this year; the
numbers of young people included in them having steadily
increased from the beginning, and being likely still to increase.
Here is an opportunity for that thorough teaching in Divine
things which is often never acquired, if not acquired early.
The knowledge and love of the Bible as the most interesting of
books, as well as the only one able to make 'wise unto salvation/
may be acquired in th^se Classes qs it cannot even in Ihp
Sunday- school.
810 ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE [1884.
The steady progress of our Sunday- schools is matter of
great thankfulness. Here increase has been unbroken for many
years. The most -cheering fact of all is that during the last
year there has been an increase in Church-membership from our
Sunday-schools of 1,560 young people — more than 40,000 during
the last five years. The increase in the number of elder scholars,
also, is pleasing ; the proportion of those over fifteen years of age
having risen from 18 to 21 per cent. The self-denying labours
of Sunday-school teachers are even now earning abundant
reward. They need not wait, in the majority of instances, for
many years ; their * due season' may be now, if they 'faint not.'
That nearly half our Sunday-scholars have given their hearts
to Q-od urge's us not to be satisfied that the other half should
hesitate. A teacher, consecrated to Q-od's service, who main-
tains a close, loving, personal relation with a class will not find
many in it who refuse to follow such leadership. But only
strongly magnetized iron can powerfully attract; and to
constrain others we must be ourselves mightily constrained by
love.
The temporal and spiritual interests of the dense populations
of our large towns, more especially of London, have excited
much public attention through the year, and the subject has
been thus afresh urged upon the Christian Church. Methodism
has always cared for the outcasts, in its early history it was
almost alone in the work, and it must not fail now. Our Home-
Missionary operations are conducted with vigour, so far as
the funds at disposal permit; and in some of the spiritually
desolate parts of the metropolis the labours of our ministerial
and lay evangelists, our Local-preachers and Home-mission
bands have been greatly blessed. We have it in consideration
whether it be desirable to make special arrangements for the
special needs of the vast population of the metropolis, a
population annually increasing, and one that taxes the wisdom
and resources of the statesman and philanthropist no less than
of the Christian Church, to provide adequately for it. God
will guide us, if we are willing to enter tiie great and effectual
doors which He, from time to time, opens, though there be
' inany adversaries.'
We continue to bespeak yoiu* intelligent and generous
sympathy on behalf of our Foreign Missions. The holy
enthusiasm of former days is needed now as ever. The interior
1884.] METHODIST SOCIETIES. 811
of Africa loudly calls for us. The villages of Southern India
aud Ceylon are like corn bending and waiting for the sickle.
The foundations of educational work in China are to be laid,
if possible, this year. Two years ago the South African
Conference was constituted, and Eepresentatives from it have
been now for the first time received by us. This year a
separate West Indian Conference has been established, of which
the Rev. George Sargeant has been appointed the first Presi-
dent. Thusjthe Jubilee year of the abolition of slavery in the
British Dominions — a glorious achievement in which Wesleyan
Methodism as a Church was privileged to play no unimportant
part — will be marked by the establishment of the first West
Indian Wesleyan-Methodist Conference, an event which speaks
for itself as to the progress of our work in islands which only
half a century ago groaned under the curse of slavery.
In proportion as parts of the Mission- field are arranged
under separate Conferences, we are called on to extend our
efforts in the parts that remain. For this nothing more is
needed than the sympathies, ever quick and tender towards all
that is good, of the Methodist peDple. Their manifold charities
at home will not allow them to be unmindful of these caUs
from afar. Q-od has opened before us a large room, we are not
straitened in Him, nor in our opportunities, let us not be
straitened in ourselves. The large hearts of our fathers in this
good work, and of the noble men who still are giving money
and time and heart's blood in this cause, say to us : ' I^ow for
a recompense in like kind, ... be ye also enlarged.' Such
enlargement is ' twice blessed.'
During the year the Sessions of the Q-eneral Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church of America have been
held, and the Revs. R. N. Young and Silvester Whitehead
have attended as a Deputation from us to convey fraternal
messages of love and good will. Special interest has attached
to this Conference as being held in the Centennial Year of
American Methodism, and our brethren have witnessed and
expressed our share in the joy and thanksgiving natural to such
an occasion. We have said by our deputed brethren: *The
Lord hath done great things for you,' and the answer has been
returned : 'The Lord hath done great things for us ; whereof we
are glad.' A meeting, held in City-Road Chapel in June last,
testified to our interest in this centenary of American Methodism,
312 ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE [1884.
and at the same time reminded us that it is just one hundred
years ago since the Deed of Declaration was signed by Mr,
Wesley: an instrument which legally assured our property,
and made the way plain for us who were * not a people ' to
take our place among the peoples — ^the Evangelical Churches of •
this country.
And now, brethren, in commending you to God for another
year of Christian activity and effort, we canuot too strenuously
urge it upon you, that you are witnesses for Q-od in the midst
of the world. Testimony is what the world needs ; and none
but those who enjoy experimental religion can give it. Ours is
said to be an age of unbelief; but it is yet more an age of
uncertainty and eager enquiry. Many questions are silently
being asked, besides those which make themselves keenly,
painfully audible. Tens of thousands are watching professed
Christians and enquiriug of their lives. What do these men
know more than we, and is theirs a knowledge firmly held and
securely based ? What faith and hope have these men more
than we ; and is it one which will stand the strain of the stem,
facts of. life? What power have these men more than we;
and what is the secret by which it is to be gained and kept ?
It is for you, brethren, for us all, to testify in these matters.
The Divine finger points to us : * Te are My witnesses, saith the
Lord.' It is for us to reply : ' We have seen and do testify/
* That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that
ye also may have fellowship with us.'
For this a living, active, vigorous religious life is necessary,
No hearsays will do. No mere repetition of traditional beliefs,
no mere decent and orderly compliance with conventional
religious requirements will avail. Nothing but the power of
the living God working in you, the voice of the living God
speaking through you, will meet the needs of those who are
thirsting, not for the common-places of religious phraseology,
but for the living God. Beminiscences of what our fathers
have told us of the things done in their days, and in the old
time before them, should only inspire us to realize that the
same present Help is in our midst. Under the * prophesying *
of the Apostolic days, the secrets of the heart were made
manifest, and those coming into the gatherings of Christians at
Corinth feU down and worshipped, acknowledging that God
was among them indeed. The aame S^jirit is ours. Varying
1884.] METHODIST SOCIETIES, 813
in manifestation and in operations, blowing where He listeth,
He moves still in the hearts, among the gatherings of the
faithful. It is for us to realize the present Spirit of Christ,
and testify of the truths which He teaches, the affections
which He inspires, the strength which He imparts. A Church
filled with the Spirit is a witness indeed.
The testimony of words is not to be undervalued. Erom the
beginning of Methodist history, in private, in Bands, in Class-
meetings, in Love-feasts, in preaching — Q-od has blessed such
testimony. Believing with the heart that Jesus is the Lord,
confess Him with your mouth : if we were to be silent, the very
stones would cry out. But the testimony of words alone is * as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.' Words must be wedded
to deeds. And both alike must spring from the devotion of
the heart. Words may deceive, deeds may be formal and
mechanical, or spring from unworthy motives. Only that
mysterious and complex influence, the image and impress of
the man's very self, which we call character, really testifies.
This is the Epistle which all can read, though they know not
the grammar of the language in which it is written. And a
generation, weary of striving for wealth that does not profit, for
knowledge that gives little guidance and no hope, a generation,
weary of shadows and longiug for the light, is asking for
testimony which only such Divinely-appointed witnesses can
give.
Let us all testify, for it is written in the prophets, and ful-
filled in the Christian Church : * And they shall be all taught of
God.' The Christian Church is to be the practical interpreter
of the mind of Christ. As the artist is glad to spend hours in
copying the work of a master-hand, hid in the comer of some
church or gallery where few will seek or study it, in order that
the conception of the master, though only in an imperfect copy,
may instruct and delight thousands, so are we to be imitators
of Christ. We are to show the world as much as we may of
what He would have men to be, not in Palestine 1800 yeard
ago, but in England now. And that we should be able to do
this it is needful that we should know Him well, and the needs
of our time well.
Our boasted 'nineteenth century civilization' is in many
respects far from Christian. The making haste to be rich,
which is one prominent feature of it, is essentially unchristian.
314 ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE [1884.
The kind of knowledge which it makes its special pursuit,
though important, is far from the highest. Its tastes and
refinements, its pleasures and recreations, are still less brought
' into captivity to the obedience of Christ.' It is for you, in
common with all true Christians, to show what is meant by
' a city of God.' Te are 'feUow-citizens with the saints : ' show,
then, to a highly-civilized commimity, what is meant by true
citizenship in a Christian commonwealth. Protest against the
sins of our nation and century by word and deed. Have no
fellowship with darkness, no concord with Belial. Against the
eagerness after money, and the comforts money will buy ; against
the speculation in business, so near to dishonesty, which the
eagerness to get money easily engenders; against the habits
of self-indulgence which creep unconsciously upon a generation
and sap its moral strength ; against the ' false measure,' and
false word in business, which are alike an abomination to the
Lord ; against the amusements which enervate and relax the
moral tone, when they do not positively corrupt; against
slander and evil-speaking under all its disguises; against in-
temperance,— horrid parent of so many other iniquities ; against
impurity, open or secret, spoken, or represented, or committed ;
against all the manifold evils of commercial and social life, which
are rife around you, lift up your voice, and from any approach
to them turn away your feet. 'Ye that love the Lord, hate
evil.' Amidst * a crooked and perverse ' generation, be ye seen
' as lights in the world ; holding forth the word of life.'
Labour with faith in God, lose not faith in the capacities of
human nature. In the image of God it was at first created, to
that image it may be by grace restored, however sadly defaced and
marred by sin. Have faith in God's purpose of love to redeem
mankind. The masters of faith are lords of the world within,
and the world without. He who has faith as a grain of mustard-
seed can move mountains. Paith is needed in the Pather of
all, who loves and rules over all ; in the Saviour, who gave Him-
self as a ransom for all, and now lives and prays on behalf of
all ; in the Spirit, who with tireless patience works in all, to
draw, cleanse, and save all who will hear Him and obey.
Faith in such a Triune God must overcome the world. Men
of faith the world has always been unable to produce, unable to
understand, unable to resist. Believe, and conquer all.
Finally, brethren, pray for us. If you pray, we, though
1884.] METHODIST SOCIETIES, 315
weak, are strong ; if your prayers fail us, we, at our strongest,
are feeble. We are of your flesh, and of your bone. We
claim not to be lords over Q-od's heritage, we seek not to * have
dominion over your faith ; ' but would be ' helpers of your joy.'
Be ye also helpers of our joy, by your fervent, sympathetic,
believing prayers on our behalf. A faithful ministry is easy
among a praying people. A year of such ministry must be
crowned with blessing ; and such a year we trust together with
you to enjoy. And we, brethren, will thus pray for you in one
of the prayers of the Apostle Paul : ' Now may our Q-od and
Pather Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto
you ; and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love
one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do
toward you ; to the end He may stablish your hearts un-
blamable in hoHness before our Qod and Father, at the coming
of our Lord Jesus with aU His saints.'

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
OF THE
IRISH CONFERENCE OF 1884
TO THE
BEITISH CONFERENCE OF 1884.
Beloyed Fathers and Bbetheeit, —
Believing in the close and intimate relationship that exists
between us, we most gladly avail ourselves of this fresh oppor-
tunity of conveying to you our increasing feeling of brotherly
love and esteem.
And we are happy to learn, not only from your answer to
our address of last year, and the reports of our Representa-
tives, whom you so affectionately received, but by many
incidental proofs that you reciprocate those feelings. The
knowledge that you thus sympathise with us in our trials, and
rejoice with us in our joy, is an encouragement in our work,
and an incentive to renewed effort.
It wjfts with more than ordinary pleasure we welcomed
among us your honoured President, the Eev. Thoipas
M'Cullagh, a countryman of our own; one who thus adds
another name to the small but illustrious band who, gathered
in by us, have been entrusted by you with the highest office
in the Church. He came among us as a brother beloved, and
has been received as one coming to his own. His calm,
mature judgment was conspicuous in the Chair of the Con-
ference, and his official Sermon and Charge to the newly-
ordained Ministers were so graciously accompanied by the.
influence of the Holy Spirit as to prove 'seasons of grace
and sweet delight.' The honoured companions of the Presi-
dent have also received from us a most cordial welcome. The
visit of the beloved Ex-President, the Eev. Charles Qturett,
was anticipated with pleasure, and as usual a full proportion
of labours were provided for him. Eevs. William Hirst, and
David J. Waller came as comparative strangers to the Con-
1884.] ADDRESS OF THE lEISII CONFERENCE. 317
ference, but cannot do so again, as they have made themselves
known and loved by all with whom they came in contact.
We congratulate you on the substantial increase in your
membership during the past year, and trust it is but the fore-
runner of larger ingatherings in the years to come. We too,
in the good providence of Q-od, have been granted somewhat of
' the joy of harvest/ During the past year there were added
to our Societies two thousand three hundred and ten new
members, which, after filling the vacancies occasioned by death
and emigration, leave us a net increase of four hundred and
eighty.
On many of our Circuits there have been gracious
revivals, and the labours of those brethren specially set aside
from Circuit for general work have been much owned. But
the increased care given to the young, and the regular and
efEective preaching of the Word in our Circuits, furnish us
with the principal grounds of hope for future prosperity.
Though in these respects there are many hopeful signs of
blessing, we have to regret a large, and, at times we fear, an
increasing amount of Sabbath desecration by which the rest of
the sacred day is broken, and the minds of many distracted.
As directly bearing on the sanctity of the Sabbath, and tending
to spiritual and national prosperity, we cease not in our
efEorts to promote not only the partial but entire closing of
public -houses on Sunday, and in this important movement we
confidently look for your sympathy and support.
We have this year received into full Connexion eight young
men who have been well reported of and cordially recommended
by their District Meetings. In committing unto them their
great charge wo believe they have been inwardly moved by the
Holy Grhost to undertake the responsibilities of the Ministry,
and trust they shall make full proof of the same. Three
candidates have been received on trial, so that in addition to
the probationers, we have now thirteen young men eligible for
our work. Three brethren have obtained permission to become
Supernumeraries, and during the year three other honoured
fellow-labourers have passed to their reward. By the death of
Dr. Robinson Scott, Methodism in Ireland loses one of its
best known and most devoted sons. He was, however, spared
to see his efEorts in the matter of higher education in con-
nection with Wesley College, Dublin, and the Methodist
318 ADDRESS OF THE IRISH CONFERENCE, [1884.
College, Belfa49t, crowned with much success. His death also
left a vacancy on the Senate of the Eoyal University, that we
expected would be filled by one of our Ministers, but in this
we were disappointed, as His Excellency Earl Spencer gave the
seat to a Member of another Church.
We have observed your noble efforts on behalf of that
department of your work that has long been a ' crown of
rejoicing' — the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society, and
feel thankful the burden of debt is removed, and that you are
now more free to enter those doors which the hand of the Lord
has opened for your Missionaries.
We heard with much pleasure from our Eepresentatives not
only of the deputation of Nonconforming Ministers that waited
on you in the Conference of last year at Hull, to convey frater-
nal greetings, but also of the visit to your platform of a number
of Clergymen of the Established Church. These incidents we
regarded as a high testimony to the fidelity with which you
have maintained the ideal of our venerated founder : * The
friends of all, the enemies of none.'
We send you this year as our Eepresentatives, the Eev. James
Donnelly, Secretary of our Conference, whom we nominate as
the Irish member of the Delegation, the Eev. John Woods
Ballard, and the Eev. George E. Wedgwood, brethren who
possess our confidence, and are fully qualified to inform you
of our affairs.
The year has not been to us, as a Church, more than
usually eventful. Our Circuits have enjoyed much peace and
spiritual prosperity. The sittings of Conference have been
marked by some diversity of opinion, but, at the same time, all
the proceedings have been characterized by perfect harmony.
In conclusion, we ' commend you to G-od, and to the Word
of His Q-race,' and earnestly pray that He may guide all your
conversations, as we believe He has directed ours, to the
promotion of His glory, and the welfare of the Societies
committed to our care

THE ANSWER
OF THE
BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1884
TO THE
ADDRESS OF THE IRISH CONFERENCE OF 1884.
Reverend and Dear Brethren, —
In the midst of the important and laborious business of our
Conference, ifc has, this year as in years past, brought us
refreshing help to receive assurance that the work of Methodism
in Ireland is still carried on with all the advantages of good
organization, administered with fidelity and unremitting zeal.
The bond of our union with you is so close, that we reckoa
your welfare and success as an integral part of our own pros-
perity. We can never forget that some of the most inspiriting
records of early Methodism belong to Ireland, and that our
fathers reaped some of their richest harvests upon Irish soil ;
and you will not wonder that, year after year, we look towards
your beautiful island, rejoicing to recognise every token of your
progress, and longing to see the ancient successes repeated and
surpassed.
The difficulties which beset your work at all times are fully
appreciated by us. But those difficulties, while they severely tax
your patient faith, and withstand your earnest effort, also serve to
mark, in our eyes, the magnitude of the trust which is com-
mitted to you, and the critical importance of the position which
you occupy. The results of the ministry of Methodism in Ire-
land are not to be measured by any returns which you are able
to report. When we rejoice, as we do with hearty gratitude,
in the increase in your Societies during the year just closed, we
are not slow to note how large losses you have had to fill up,
before you could make any advance. Tet those losses were not
all loss to the Church of Christ, nor even to Methodism in its
wider interests. Though removed from the pastoral care of
those who have first gathered them, multitudes have been con-
tinually passing forth from under your oversight, to carry with
320 ANSWER TO THE lEISIl ADbMESS. [1884.
them into other lands the truth which they have learned from
you ; and there are found to-day, aU over the world, faithful
champions of Protestantism, trained in the best of all schools,
where they were taught to hold fast the gospel in the face
of the dominant and unveiled superstitions and errors of
Bomanism.
In the financial embarrassments which now trouble you, you
have our liveliest sympathy ; and we trust that the wise
measures of administrative economy which you have adopted
will result, not only in speedy relief, but in permanent advan-
tage to all your operations.
We should regard with more than uneasiness anything that
would tend to weaken the welcome bonds of our union with
you ; and we trust that the day will never come when want of
harmony in counsel shaU imperil that loving fellowship in plan
and labour, wherein it has long been our delight to move along
with you in the service of our Lord.
The presence of your Representatives among us has again
caused us unfeigned joy ; and while we gave them our best ji
welcome for your sakes, we have loved them for their own, and
listened with cordial interest to their words.
The death of the late Dr. Scott has afflicted us as weU as you ;
for his fine qualities, and beautiful Christian character had long
been highly prized by us. As long as your admirable system
and appliances of higher education exist, he will never be with-
out a noble and fitting monument : the memorial of invaluable
services ungrudgingly rendered upon both sides of the sea.
We have gladly received your nomination ; and have, from
your own number, enrolled in the Legal Conference the Bev.
Dr. M'Kee, and the Eev. Thomas C. Maguire.
We thankfully hail the signs of growing quietness and pros-
perity in L:eland. It is not for us to express any opinion here
upon the merits of any political measures. Above all questions
of Lnperial policy, we have to do with the supreme interests
and claims of the Kingdom of Q-od ; and we are assured, with-
out doubt or misgiving, that your work is one with those
interests, and done in furtherance of those claims. In your
success, and in the success of those who labour on your prin-
ciples, and with your aims, we see the only hope for Ireland's
permanent welfare ; and we pray, dear brethren, that there may
rest upon jou that divine grace vAiida. Vi^ ^-asS^^Si^Q^xiL^^Vy^^

I
ADDBESS
OF THE
CONFERENCE OF THE EVANGELICAL METHODIST
CHURCH OF FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND
TO THE
BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1884.
Beloved Ain) HoiroirEED Bbethben, —
We have received with deep gratitude the excellent Address
which you have sent to us. The words of encouragement and
the iudicious counsels which it contains have touched our hearts
by the cordiality of their tone. They have confirmed us in the
certainty which we already felt, that if there exists between us
the difference between what is small and weak and what is
great and strong; on the other hand, there does not exist
between us any of those misunderstandings or antagonisms
which sometimes cause divisions between brethren. The fear,
expressed at the Hull Conference, by our Representative, Mr.
Leli^vre, that there might be on your side some tendency to
forsake our old and much-tried work, in order to reserve your
sympathy and your sacrifices for new Missions — that fear, we
are happy to be assured, was not founded. Tou wish to see us
attain, as soon as possible, financial independence ; we desire,
as much as yourselves, to reach that position. But you do not
think of abandoning a work, which, notwithstanding its weak-
ness, is a necessary one, and has borne excellent fruit.
If any fears on this point had still remained, the visit of the
Rev. Ebenezer E. Jenkins, M.A., delegate from the Missionary
Committee, would have completely removed them. With the
amiable urbanity of a gentleman, and the affectionate sympathy
of an experienced brother, he assured us that our work is the
object of your constant solicitude ; and that if it is still too little
known among English Methodists, it is nevertheless not for-
gotten. He told us, after having seen our work on the spot,
and in detail, that it was to be regretted that our English friends
1884.] ADDRESS OF TEE FRENCR CONFERENCE. 323
were so imaequaiiited with it, and that he did not doubt, if
they possessed more information respecting it, that it would
receive increased support.
Mr. Jenkins, accompanied by Mr. Q-ibson, in his visit to some
of our Societies, has had the opportunity of fonning his own
judgment as to the depth of the work which the revival has
wrought in several of our Churches of the south. He has seen
the young Christians full of faith, and heard their simple and
touching testimonies to the power of the grace of Q-od. A
blessed work has gone on throughout the year with great power,
and we have reason to hope that it will continue. A certain
number of our churches have been quickened by these revivals,
and their youth has been renewed ; and a salutary impulse has
been given to other churches which have not felt to the same
extent the reviving influence of the Spirit of God.
Experience has shown us that while efficient organization is
necessary to preserve the fruits of a revival, the work of organi-
zation is greatly facilitated by the influence of a revival The
Circuit in which the revival broke out with the greatest power,
and in which it has produced the most abundant fruit, is the
Circuit in which we seem to have had the most success in
applying completely the system of Methodist organization. We
are conscientiously endeavouring to strengthen where it exists,
and to establish everywhere, the regular working of our ecclesi-
astical mechanism, for we know its close connection with the
maintenance of religious life. But we suffer from the scarcity
of efficient Class-leaders, and of laymen qualified to take com-
pletely in hand the management of our financial affairs. Mr.
Jenkins gave us excellent advice as to the best way of recruiting
and forming a body of enterprising Class-leaders ; his advice we
intend to follow. As to the second point, it is more difficult to
discover a remedy, inasmuch as it results from the fact, that the
spiritual success of our work has hitherto been achieved, almost
exclusively, among the least wealthy classes of society. We are,
and shall probably long continue to be, what English Methodism
was at the commencement, — the church of the poor.
But these ' poor as to the world ' often give us proofs of a
deeply touching liberality. We have, in our Societies, working
men and servant girls who give, for the support of the work of
Grod, a considerable proportion of their modest income. One
of the latter class, for instance, contributes twenty francs, that
824 ADDRESa OF THE FRENCH CONFERENCE. [1884.
is, sixteen shillings per quarter. The ayeragesubscriptions of
our members would compare advantageously with those given
in the majority of English Circuits. One great hindrance to
our financial independence arises from the fact of our members
being scattered over such extensive districts, that the average
number of members under the care of a pastor is not more than
eighty.
We have held our Conference this year at Anduze, a town
situated' at the foot of the Cevennes, those mountains which
the piety and the heroism of the Huguenots have rendered so
celebrated. Our Conference has been marked by a spirit of
joyous and grateful confidence in God. Two important
decisions "have been taken, which will have a great influence
upon the future of our work. "We have decided upon the
transfer of our Students' Home from Lausanne to Nimes;
and we have also taken the resolution to commence a Mission
in Algiers, if God opens our way.
The first of these decisions was dictated by a sense of the duty
incumbent upon us, to train up our future Ministers in a moral
atmosphere, which should be impregnated with the doctrinal
and ecclesiastical principles of Methodism. Our attachment to*
those views, which it is the special mission of our church to
represent in the midst of other religious communities, induced
us to place our new establishment in the midst of our southern
societies, where our young men will have the best opportunities
of seeing our peculiar organization in operation, and where their
piety and zeal will be stimulated by the fervour of churches
which are often visited by revivals.
For many years we have felt ourselves called to commence a
missionary work in the vast French colony of Algiers. This
year, we have at last decided upon sending one of our Ministers
to examine the situation, and to report upon the best methods
of commencing a mission to be prdfeecuted with success. We
are convinced that this enterprise will be popular among our
Societies, and that it will contribute to quicken among them a
missionary spirit.
In connection with our Conference, we have had the happi-
ness of celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival in
France of the Eev. James Hocart, who is now the oldest
Minister among us. We felt peculiar pleasure in showing the
afEeotionate esteem in which we hold him, in the vigorous old

has spared him.
We have appointed our beloved and honoured brother, the
Eev. J. P. Cook, B.A., to represent us at the Sessions of your
Conference.
And we have again chosen the Eev. "William Comforth to be
our President for the ensuing year. We respectfully request
you to ratify our choice.

BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1884
TO THE
ADDBESS OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE EVAN-

SWITZERLAND, 1884.
Eeveeekd AiTD Deab Beethbek, —
It has been a great pleasure to us to listen to the encouraging
words of your Address, and to the interesting particulars with
which your Representative, the Rev. J. P. Cook, B.A., illus-
trated it. Alike for his own sake and for yours, we heartily
welcome him amongst us. We are glad to learn that the visit
of the Rev. E. E. Jenkins, M.A., has proved, as we felt sure it
would, an encouragement as well as a benefit to you. To us,
his description of the promising condition in which he found
the work in your country has been most gratifying ; and we
give thanks to God on your behalf.
k
326 ANSWER TO THE FRENCH ADDRESS. [1884.
Nothing in your Address has pleased us more than the
allusions to the 'times of refreshing' which many of your
Churches have enjoyed. We join vrith you in the hope that
these quickening impulses will continue to be felt, and will
diffuse themselves over the whole country. Your Seprfe-
sentative told us of the readiness to hear, which is noticeable
throughout your country, and of the interest generally felt in
the mission and message oi Protestantism. It appears, howr-
ever, that with you, as with us, this interest is chiefly that of
curiosity, and may easUy be mistaken. "We interpret it as the
sign that the Spirit's work of preparing the soU. for the seed of
the kingdom has reached an advanced stage. For if indifference
is a worse foe to success than hostility, the spread of a spirit of
curiosity, even though chiefly intellectual and heartless, is to be
welcomed as a necessary preliminary to conversions. And we
shall not be surprised to hear that, under the influence of the
Spirit, the curiosity deepens into earnestness and yearning,
and the harvest of your labours becomes more abundant. It
is a distinct advantage that the ears of the people have been
gained, and the Word may be trusted to produce its wonted
effect upon their hearts.
Whilst we congratulate you upon the continuance of the
gracious work referred to in your -last year's Address, we
remind ourselves, as well as you, of the paramount importance
of using every means suggested by the experience of the
Methodist Church, in order to protect and nourish those whose
hearts the Lord has opened. Our beloved President has called
our own attention to the necessity of more diligent pastoral
service, and it is his wish that, whilst the year is ^narked by no
diminution of evangelical fervour, more anxious effort than
ever should be made to conserve new converts and edify the
body of Christ. Ton will need much wisdom in so adapting
the organization of Methodism to France, as to preserve its
essential characteristics amidst strange conditions. But the
two main functions committed to it, as to other Churches, are
to seek and to shelter the lost. Neither of these functions
should be overlooked, and the claims of neither forgotten in
the earnest discharge of the other. A Church, in loyalty to its
•Head and remembering His words, will not neglect to give
each its due position, and to maintain their equal honours.
For long it has been a difficulty amongst us, as amongst you,
1884.] ANSWER TO THE FRENCH AJDBBESa, 327
to prevent the annual loss of members, who ceased to meet in
Class. We are of opinion that the best, if not the only, remedy
consists in greater vigilance over their souls, * as iJiose who
must give an account ' ; and we would urge upon you the wisdom
of the most tender and persistent attention to the duties of
the overseers of the flock. To every Church, and perhaps to
our own especially, it would be a weakness and an error not to
go out into the highways. But the guests, who have already
been brought in, have many wants and some claims upon our
service, and cannot be neglected without peril. In every
church the cry of the herald should be heard in the porch, and
the prophet's voice within ; and the pleasure of the Lord must
be greatest, when neither drowns the other, but the harmony
of both is complete. For it is as necessary to steadfastness that
the service of the pastor be faithfully done, as it is to growth
that the evangelist lift up his voice in the streets,
"We observe that you propose to remove your Theological
Institution to Nimes, and to establish a mission in Algiers.
The latter proposal, and the motives that have prompted the
former, will be fully appreciated here. English Methodism
owes much of her aggressive spirit at home to the enthusiasm
evoked by her Foreign Missions; and a forward movement
on your part will, if strongly supported, greatly stimulate the
faith and zeal of your home Churched. A feeble mission in
Algiers will prove embarrassing and a disappointment. But
a vigorous one will quickly and beneficially react upon the
religious life of all your Churches.
We leave the question of the removal of your Institution
from Lausanne to Nimes with entire confidence in your judg-
ment. The former place has of necessity special attractions for
us, through its association with the memory of the sainted
John Fletcher. But the reasons you plead for the change are
of obvious and sufficient force. And we rejoice that you ate
determined to maintain an attitude of friendly dissent from the
doctrines and polity of the National Eeformed Church. Any
other resolution would make it difficult to defend your exist-
ence in France as a separate Church. And since Nimes also
affords better opportunities than Lausanne for the study of
Methodism in operation, and brings your young men into
closer contact with the more fervent of your Churches, it is
evidently a better site for your Institution. The aim in
328 ANSWER TO THE FRENCH ADDRESS. [1884.
training them is to make them masters and defenders of
dogmatic theology, and vigorous and zealous exponents of the
Methodist view of personal religion. Any other aim would be
wrong in theory, and a cause of much practical difficulty and
weakness.
We rejoice cordially with you in the interesting celebration
you have just held of the jubilee of the arrival of the Eev.
James Hocart as a minister amongst you. His name and
saintly character are greatly revered by us, and his eloquent
and fervid addresses at our Conferences will be long remem-
bered. We earnestly pray that, in his fruitful old age, he
may enjoy richly the promised light at the evening time.
It has grieved us daily to read of the ravages inflicted of late
by the cholera in certain parts of your country. We sym-
pathise with you in your perils and additional labours, and
continue to pray that it may please Almighty God speedily to
stay the pestilence.

OP THE
CONFEEENOE OF THE WESLEYAN-METHODIST
CHUECH OF SOUTH AFEIOA, 1884,
TO THE
BEITISH OONFEEENCE OF 1884.
Beloyed Fathees ah^d Beetheen, —
Again we are assembled in Conference, after the experience
of a year, in which our work has been prosecuted under some-
what altered but hopeful conditions, and in which we have
been stimulated by the fact that we have entered but so recently
on a new era of our history.
The year through which we have passed has been one of
great commercial depression throughout the whole area over
which our work extends. Drought in agricultural districts,
and as a consequence comparative stagnation in commercial
activities, together with the unsettled condition of large por-
tions of our native population, have occasioned difficulties in
the consolidation and extension of our work. In such cir-
cumstances we have felt some misgivings as we have endea-
voured to grapple with the financial problems and difficulties
with which, as a Church starting on a fresh career of enterprise,
we have been called upon to deal. Tet this has not been
without its advantage to us. "We have thus been led to
approach such questions with a care and caution which have
been to some extent forced upon us by our position, but which
have led us, we trust, to avoid action which more prosperous
times might have induced us to take, but which would possibly
have entailed upon us in the future burdens which might have
proved too great for us to bear.
But, as if to cheer and encourage us in the midst of our
330 SOUTH AFRICAN ADDRESS. [1884.
anxieties, a large measure of success has attended our efEoitB,
and the preaching of the Word, both to Europeans and natiyes,
has resulted in many conversions to Gt)d, and a considerable
increase to our Church. For some time past, although our
Native Societies were receiving continued additions from
heathenism, we were led to mourn that there was not a corre-
sponding growth amongst our European Churches. The
children of our colonists seemed in too many instances to be
drifting away from the Church of their fathers, and anxiety
was often felt lest, whilst our efforts to evangelise the Native
races remained unabated, we might to some extent overlook the
claims of those of our own race who were in danger of growing
into formalism, indifference or scepticism. This has led to
prayerful effort for the benefit of our European population ;
effort sustained by the conviction that the conversion of our
Colonial people and their consecration to God and His work
must prove a guarantee for the maintenance of missionary
zeal, and the pledge of ultimate success in ' the regions beyond.'
Our efforts, thanks to the great Head of the Churchy have been
greatly blessed during the year, especially in some of the oldest
centres of Methodism and of Colonial life. The story of the
past year has reminded us in many respects of the traditions of
the earlier successes won by our fathers. Many of our people,
hitherto only nominally attached to us, have been brought
under the power of God's converting grace. Not the young
only, but the middle-aged, and even the old, have shared in the
outpouring of the spirit of God. Thus richly has the promise
been fulfilled : ' Upon My servants and upon My handmaids
in those days will I pour out My spirit ; . . . and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy.' .
Amongst the Native Churches, too, we have been permitted
to witness such a measure of success as calls for most devout
gratitude to God. 1,251 members have been added to our
Church, and 9,529 are on trial for membership.
"We have thought it right to set apart a District Missionary
for special evangelistic work amongst our European population,
as we had previously made a similar appointment for the benefit
of the Natives. "We trust that the wisdom of this appointment
will be justified by its spiritual results, and that we shall
witness a large ingathering of souls during the coming year.
We have been gratified to find that from amongst our
k
1884.] SOUTH AFRICAN ADDBMS. 331
Colonial Churches there is the promise of a succession of men
to preach the "Word and to carry on the work committed to
our care. Five young men have been received at this Confer-
ence as preachers on trial. We gratefully recognise the fact
that the ranks of our Ministry have been so long recruited from
the home Church, as we hope they wiU be for some time to
come; but we are also aware that, ultimately, the power to
raise and develop a Ministry from amongst our own Churches,
both English and Native, will be one index of our success.
The adverse circumstances of the country have led the
Government to look with a considerable degree of apprehension
upon the demands which have been made upon it for assistance
in the work of Native education, and there is every indication
that less financial aid from this source will be given in the
future. In these circumstances we shall be compelled to rely-
more and more upon the loyalty and liberality of our people
themselves. This, however burdensome for the time, will, we
doubt not, ultimately prove sufficient to meet the claims which
this most important department of our work makes upon us.
The adequate theological training of candidates for our
Native Ministry is to us a cause of considerable anxiety. We
are called upon suddenly to take up a work for which sufficient
preparation has not been made in the past. If the Native
Churches themselves are to be instructed in the truths of
Scripture and the verities of religion, and by this means the
conscience is to be awakened and the mind informed, it is
necessary that those who teach should themselves have been
taught ' what they speak, and whereof they affirm.' At any
cost, we feel that this work must be done.
As a contribution to this end you will be glad to know that a
translation of Mr. Wesley's standard Sermons into Kafir has
been completed, and we are turning our attention to the better
provision of Native literature, which the increasing educational
advantages of our people will render necessary.
The desire for higher education on the part of our Colonial
people continues to increase. The institutions recently esta-
blished amongst us to meet that desire are prospering, and
beginning to bring forth fruit.
We mournfully record the departure from the 'Church
below' to the ' Church above' of three honoured brethren, who

the Lord amongst us. Their remoyal admonishes us all, and
we determine that what our hands find to do we will do it with
our might.
The Sessions of our Conference held in Graham's Town,
accompanied as they have been by hallowed retrospects and
memories, have been to us seasons of comfort and encourage-
ment. Some of us visited for the first time the scenes of the
labours of the devoted men of a former age, apostolic in their
zeal and success. We have sought, in all humility, that the
mantle of our fathers may fall upon us, and our rejoicing is
that the God of our fathers is still our God.
We thank you for acceding to our request and appointing
the Eev. John Walton, MA., to be our President. We think
it unnecessary to say how highly we esteem him, and how
greatly his presence amongst us has contributed to the efFective
administration of our affairs, and to the development of our-
work in its various departments.
Two of our Brethren — ^the Eevs. William Tyson and Henry
S. Barton — leave us, not only with our most affectionate wishes,
but with our fullest confidence and esteem. We have requested
them to bear to you our filial and fraternal greetings, and to
convey to you, as opportunity may serve, the assurance of our
unabated attachment and unswerving loyalty. We are praying
that we may be enabled to institute and perpetuate a Con-
nexional Methodism in this far-off land, which shall not be
unworthy of the memories of England and home.
We gratefully appreciate the aid which you continue to
afford us through your Missionary Conunittee, and the generous
and hearty interest which the Ladies' Committee have ever \
manifested in our work.
We have nominated as our President for next year the Eev.
Eichard Bidgill, who for many years has rendered important
services to South African Methodism, and who, in our judg-
ment, is eminently qualified for the duties of this office. We
trust that you will be pleased to approve of our nomination and
appoint him our President.
The record of your own successes has cheered and stimulated
us ; and whilst we rejoice with you, we devoutly pray that the
God of our fathers may make you a thousand times as many as
je are. Por ourselves, we shall return to our various fields of

BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1884

ADDRESS GF THE CGNEERENCE GE THE

AFRICA GF 1884.
Eeveeend akd Deab Bebtheen, —
It has given us much pleasure to receive the Address of your
second Conference, and to hear of the spirit in which you have
undertaken the duties of the new position on which you so
recently entered. You have been enabled, by the grace of God,
to rise to the demands of that position, and we greatly rejoice
in view of the success with which you have been favoured,
and of the confidence with which you look into the future.
We thank God for the care and the caution with which you
have met the difficulties that have arisen through wide-
spread commercial depression, and by reason of the migratory
condition of some of the native tribes. Though you complain
of the difficulties, you are manifestly receiving in the right
spirit the discipline to which you have been providentiaJly
appointed. The consolidation of your work may be retarded
for a time, but as your organization is prudently extended -^qxl
334 ANSWER TO' 80 UTH AFRICAN ADDRESS. [1884.
will overcome the obstacles which now exist, and will then be
in a position to reap the fruit of your present care.
It has giren us great joy to hear of the signs which have
cheered you in your work amidst many anxieties. Tear
prayers have been heard, your faith has been hououred, and
your labour has had a reward, in the spiritual quickening of
people of various classes. With you, as in all other places,
this is the special work of Methodism. You have successfully
laboured among the heathen, and have brought many of them
' from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.'
While we deeply rejoice in this, we cannot overlook the mis-
sionary value of the conversion of European colonists and their
devotion to the work of God. We are sensible of the import-
ance of securing the cordial attachment of the children of
colonists, and especially of those who have received their train-
ing in Methodism ; and we trust that, through the blessing of
God on prompt and prudent measures, you will have the joy
of keeping the young in the Church of their fathers, and of
leading them to devote themselves fully to God. We recognise
how sorely * formalism, indifference, or scepticism,* when seen
among European colonists, must hinder your work among the
native tribes, and we therefore glorify God because power has
been given to the ministers of His Word amidst those who are
of our own race.
We are cheered by your recognition of the claims of the
native work ; and it is to us an occasion of devout thanksgiving
to God that in the native Churches you have had the joy of
witnessing an encouraging amount of success. We regard this
as a most hopeful sign for the Methodism of South Africa, and
it would cause deep regret if this sign should at any time dis-
appear. We are, however, confident that, by close attention to
the details of pastoral duty, and by adequate care for the educa-
tion of the children of the people, you will secure a continuance
of the prosperity by which you have hitherto been encouraged.
In your setting apart of a District Missionary for special
evangelistic work among the European population, we see an
appropriate provision for the colonists and a prudent adapta-
tion of agency to the circumstances and the needs of the time ;
and we rejoice in this as another evidence of your zeal in the
cause of God. We trust the appointment will be justified by
rick spiritual results.
1884] ANSWER TO SOUTH AFRICAN ADDRESS. 335
In the fact that this year you have received five young men
as preachers on trial, we see great promise for the work com-
mitted to your care, as well as a sure evidence of success. This
fact shows the vitality of the Churches, and is a prophecy of
ultimate triumph. In proportion as you are able to provide
an indigenous Ministry from among your own Churches, both
European and Native, men who might otherwise be required for
your work will be saved for other spheres in which they are
greatly needed. We therefore rejoice with you, because there
is the promise of a succession of faithful men, who shall, by
preaching the Word and ministering in the Churches, carry
forward the great work in which you are engaged.
We comprehend the results of those ' adverse circumstances
of the country,' which have led the Government to look with
' apprehension on the demands made upon it ' on behalf of native
education ; but while we sympathise with you on account of the
increase of burdens which were already heavy, it gives us great
pleasure to observe how correct is your estimate of your own
position and duty in this matter ; and we trust not only that
the loyalty and the liberality of your people will bear the strain
which may be put upon them in these new circumstances, but
also that the ultimate issue will be a great extension of this
department of your work.
In respect of the necessity for preparing native ministers for
their work, we are in full agreement with yourselves, knowing
that provision must be made for the adequate education of
native candidates for the Ministry ; and it gives us joy to know
that the Missionary Society has strong sympathy with you in
what you have designed in this behalf, and that the sympathy
has been expressed in the most practical manner. We trust
that your efforts will receive an abundant blessing from the
Great Head of the Church, whose prerogative it is to choose, to
call, and to qualify the ministers of the Gospel, and whose
favour has been granted to the schools of the prophets which
we have been permitted to establish.
We rejoice also that, labouring among people, as you say,
' of many tongues,' you are turning your thoughts to measures
for that better supply of native literature which the increasing
educational advantages of your people are rendering necessary ;
and we congratulate you on the completion of a Kafir transla-
tion of Mr. Wesley's Sermons, as well as on the continued
336 AJ^SWJ^n TO SOVTB AFRICAN ADdAESS. [1884.
prosperity of the Institutions which have recently been esta-
blished among you in order to meet the desire for higher
education on the part of your colonial people.
We mourn with you the loss of esteemed brethren and fellow
labourers in the vineyard of the Lord. Your bereavement
commands our sympathy, while we give glory to God for the
blessing which rested on the labours of your late brethren
Davis, Bailie, and Eose. They had the grace of the blameless
life ; they were enabled to live laborious days ; and they had
the joy of seeing success attend their evangelistic efforts. Let us
be ' followers of them who through faith and patience inherit
the promises ' ; and let us * consider the end of their conversa-
tion.'
Li the prayer that you may be enabled to establish and
perpetuate a Connexional Methodism in the regions over which
your jurisdiction extei\ds, we very heartily join ; for we are con-
vinced that no better service can be done to those whose good you
seek. To develop an organization which wiU place the ordinances
of religion within the reach of all the population must be a great
and arduous work ; but by the blessing which God has promised
to give with such efforts as you have already seen, even that
glorious consummation can be ultimately attained.
Your honoured Representatives, the Eev. William Tyson and
the Rev. Henry S. Barton, have cheered us by their presence in
the Conference, and have edified us by their testimony, which told
us of a great work of God. They brought to us an expression
of your affection, which we cordially reciprocate in the name of
the Lord ; for we are one in Him, through ' the dear uniting
love that will not let us part.*
It gives us much pleasure to accept your nomination and to
appoint the Eev. Richard Ridgill the President of your next
Conference. We are sure he is entitled to the position which
you have asked on his behalf ; and we trust that he will have
the joy of presiding over a Conference cheered by great pros-
perity, and baptised with the spirit of zeal for the glory of the
Lord.
We rejoice with you in the work which, by the blessing of
God, the Rev. John Walton, M.A. has been enabled to accom-
plish among you by the part which he has taken in the
administration of your affairs, and in the development of your
gre&t enterprise in its various departments.
1884.] ANSWER TO SOUTH AFRICAN ADDRESS. 337
We humbly rejoice also that the Lord has, of his mercy,
granted us prosperity during another year. A net increase of
8,281 members in our Societies has rewarded the labours of His
servants. We look for greater things, and are seeking to give
ourselves to our work with more earnest prayer, with stronger
faith, and with a deeper yearning for the salvation of men. We
thank G-od for the peace which has reigned in our Churches
during the year, for the measure of success which we have been
permitted to record, and for the blessing which has rested on
our assembly ; and we rejoice in hope of the final victory which
has been promised to them that obey the Gospel.
We commend you to God, praying that His grace may
abound towards you in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
that through you His ' way may be known upon earth,* and
that you may at length be ' presented faultless before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy.'

ADDEESS OP THE
BKITISH CONFERENCE OF 1883
TO THE
GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
IN THE
UNITED STATES, 1884.
Ebveeend and deab Fathees akd Bebtheen,—
We rejoice to be permitted once more to greet you in the
Lord, and to convey to you, both by letter and by the Repre-
sentatives whom we have appointed to visit you, the assurance
of our undiminished affection and esteem, and of our deep
interest in all that concerns your welfare.
Your fraternal Address renewed in us the pleasure we have
received on like occasions before. We are cheered and
strengthened by your expressions of sympathy and goodwiU
and of loyalty to our common calling ; and we share the joy of
that prosperity which it has pleased the Lord to grant you, both
at home and abroad.
We cannot look upon the Addresses and Deputations that
have passed between us for so many years as mere formalities.
They are the expression of a kinship and a spiritual unity, both
real and precious, which, at the same time, they tend to
strengthen and develop. We particularly value the personal
intercourse we have had with many of your most honoured
Ministers. The memory of those distinguished servants of
Christ and His Church whom we have from time to time wel-
comed for their own sake and for yours (some of whom are
fallen asleep, while others are yet with you) will long be
cherished among us ; and we are glad to know that those whom
we have sent to represent us among you have been received and
are remembered with similar feelings.
We trust that this will ever continue to be the cOfSO, As our
1884.] ADDRESS TO METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 339
Eepresentatives to your next General Conference we have
appointed the Rev. Robert Newton Toang, Secretary of our
Conference, and Classical Tutor of the Birmingham Theological
College, and the Rev. Williafti F. Moulton, D.D., Principal of
the Leys School, Cambridge, brethren greatly beloved and
honoured ; and each of whom, in addition to his own personal
claims, has a strong hereditary claim to our affectionate regard.
Perhaps the most striking event in our history during the
past four years, as in the history of all the Methodist Churches,
was the (Ecumenical Methodist Conference, held in City Road
Chapel in September 1881. We felt it to be a matter for
devout thanksgiving to Almighty Q-od, that the arrangements
for that great gathering were brought to a successful issue, and
that the Representatives of Methodist organizations throughout
the world came together in brotherly love and unity, and took
counsel one of another in the sanctuary that John Wesley built,
and to which his scattered children look as their ancient and
common home.
We will not attempt to estimate the influence of that Con-
ference upon the various branches of Methodism, and upon the
Christian Church generally ; but we thankfully record our con-
viction that in the quickened gratitude and increasing affection
of the whole Methodist family, and in the stimulus given to the
zeal and enterprise of many kindred Churches, the first (Ecumen-
ical Methodist Conference had the tokens of (3-od's approval,
and has given a favourable omen for the days to come. Though
it is not possible to forecast the results of future Conferences
held on your side of the Atlantic, or on ours, or in that southern
hemisphere where God has given to Methodism some of her
most fruitful fields, we cannot doubt that they will contribute,
if not to the organic union of the several bodies of Methodists,
to the true unity of the Church, and to the increased efficiency
of the means and methods employed in the service of the Lord.
We observe with pleasure and wonder that in almost every
department of Christian labour your statistics show your agencies
multiplied, your operations extended, and your efforts crowned
with abundant blessing. Tours is indeed a day of great oppor-
tunities and vast responsibilities, and it is our earnest prayer
that the promise so often fulfilled to the Church of God, * As
thy days so shall thy strength be,' may have ample and glorious
fulfilment in all your future, as in your past history.
340 ADDRESS OF THE BRITISH CONFERENCE [1884.
Our field of labour, and the conditions of our work in this
country, differ so widely from yours that direct compaiisoiis
are impossible. But you will rejoice to learn that the past
four years have been with us years of untroubled peace within
our own borders, and of great activity in all our departments.
In connection with the preaching of the Gk>spel, our first and
paramount duty, we have seen and felt much of the power of
the Lord. EvaDgelical zeal has been at once quickened and
disciplined. We have sought to reach the various classes of
the population by special and appropriate methods. A spirit
of revival has moved through our Societies; the life of
believers has been deepened and purified ; and ^nultitudes have
been brought to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The total number of members in Great Britain reported to
this Conference is 407,085, showing an increase of more than
30,000 in the last four years. In our Mission- work we have
had much encouragement and success also, of which the most
decisive proof is the very recent formation of a distinct and
udditional Conference in South Africa, with more than twenty
thousand members under its care. On the whole we trust it
may be said that our people were never more thoroughly in
sympathy with every aspect of Christian Missionary work, or
more deeply convinced that the resources of the Gospel are
adequate to all the requirements of man and of society.
It has long been our desire to afford some preparatory
instruction in Theology and Literature to all whom we receive
as candidates for the Ministry. And we are glad to say that,
since we last addressed you, we have been able to make pro-
vision for this, by the opening of a fourth Branch of our
Theological Institution, in the neighbourhood of Birmingham,
which has been completed without adding anything to our
pecuniary burdens.
Another marked and gratifying feature in our history is the
increased number of children under instruction in our Schools.
In the Sunday-schools alone the number reported last year had
risen to 841,951, showing an increase for the year of more than
12,000; while there is a steady and growing purpose to
improve both the quality and the methods of instruction.
^On some questions of public morality too, we are glad to

efforts of our own and other Christian people, legislation,
which we regard as most objectionable and in the highest
degree perilous to morality, has received a decided check, and
the testimony lifted up in so many forms against drunkenness
has made itself felt everywhere ; not merely in the modification
of the social habits of the community, but in various legisla-
tive restrictions which are likely to be still further extended
before long.
We have heard that you have it in contemplation to com-
memorate in some formal manner the great event by which a
hundred years ago your Church organization was completed ;
and we heartily wish that the celebration may prove as
serviceable to you as a similar event was to us in the year
1839. "We did of a truth find it good to recount the gifts of
G-od, and to give practical expression to our gratitude. Our
* house was ' indeed ' filled with the odour of the ointment ' at
that time ' poured forth,' and the grateful fragrance is not
even yet departed.
And now, dear Eathers and Brethren, we * commend you to
G-od, and to the word of His grace.' One of your own selves
powerfully reminded us in the late (Ecumenical gathering that
the Methodist Revival which gave birth to us both, began in the
^ loving and careful study of that blessed Word. By the same
means, we may well hope and believe that the Eevival will be
perpetuated and extended. May the Word of Christ dwell in
us richly ! May we hold it fast in its integrity, and hold it
forth with all diligence, until it shall have accomplished the
thing whereto He sent it, and the triumph of our Master shall
be complete.

The Committee present the following Summary : —
1. Chapel opened, Welsh, City Road. Chapel commenced,
Sutton, the first of the smaller Chapels the Committee has
promised to aid.
2. — Sites are held at Agincourt Eoad, Amhurst Park, Den-
mark Park, Porest Hill, Homsey, Walham Green, "West Green,
and Catford Bridge.
The acquisition of sites has been authorised also at Norbiton
in the Kingston Circuit ; at Charlton, in the Woolwich Circuit ;
at Wimbledon, in the Wandsworth Circuit ; and at Pemhead
Eoad, in the Sutherland-Gardens Circuit.
Beginning as the Pund now does a new epoch, the following
retrospect may be presented : —
1. This Pund was commenced in 1861, and has already aided
in the erection of sixty-five large Chapels in London, seating,
when completed, not fewer than 65,000 persons. It. has also
aided in the purchase of nine sites for Chapels yet to be built.
2. The whole of these Chapels, with their connected School-
Eooms, Lecture Halls, Class-Eooms, and other accommodation,
when completed, will have cost above £600,000.
8. Towards these Chapels the Pund has contributed, and
promised, not less than £170,000.
4. Within these Chapels not fewer than 60,000 persons will
hear the Gospel every Sunday.
The Committee further report that a new movement has been
initiated. Sir William M*Arthur having offered to give £10,000
at the rate of £2,000 per annum^^f or five years, on condition that
other Metropolitan Methodists would provide £40,000 at the
rate of £8,000 a year, and with the hope that the provinces
would provide a similar sum. Mr. Alexander M* Arthur has
offered £5,000, and others upwards of £10,000 more. These

leading London Methodists know what London requires. Tliej
are no more in need of this expenditure for their personid
religious welfare than any of their brethren in the provinces.
London is so vast that residents in Kensington and Brixton
have little more interest in Bethnal G-reen and Haverstock Hill
than have the men of Yorkshire and Lancashire. But this city
is the metropolis of the British Empire. The tide of life that
circulates tlurough it affects the moral health or sickness not
only of India and Canada, and the Cape and Australia, but of
almost every town and village in the United Kingdom. If any
place under heaven should be made truly Christian, London is
that place. No other city has ever so iiiduenced the world for
its weal or woe. It is the heart of all human life and activity,
and ifei moral condition is felt, not only wherever the British flag
floats, but throughout all civilization and the world.
The proposed new Fund of £50,000 is but the nucleus round
which Metropolitan gifts must gather. To the provinces also
the Committee would appeal, hoping they will again rally to the
aid of their London brethren.
n. — ^Fdtakobs.
(A) Income. — The income of the year has been as under : —
(1.) Ordinary Metropolitan Contributions, £1,488 12«. Id. (2.)
Special Provincial Fund, £1,740 10«. (3.) Bepaid Loans,
£1,639. Altogether, Special Contributions,with balances and
with interest on deposits, the Income of the Fund has been
£9,602 14«. M.
(B.) Exp&nditwre. — ^The Grants and Loans paid have amounted
to £2,860. A very much larger amount would have been paid
to claimant Chapels had the Executors of the late Sir Erands
Lycett been in a position to pay over to the Committee the
proportion of his ^ft due to the Fund.
The entire expenditure leaves a balance of £2,149 159. \A.
in the City Bank on the Grants* account, with about £8,000
in other investments; but the claims already allowed and
impending will demand a far larger amount than this.

ABSTEAOT OF THE EEPOET
OF
THE CHILDEEN'S HOME AND OEPHANAGE.
The work of the year has been quietly and steadily prose-
cuted. The great moral ends for which this work exists are
being accomplished in an encouraging degree. A real work
of rescue and salvation is being effected on a very considerable
scale.
The Princess Alice Orphanage has been occupied by a small
group of children since December last. On behalf of this
Branch, including interest upon the Thanksgiving Pund Grant
of ^19,000, a total of ^20,404 135. Sd. has been received,
and the Expenditure has amount-ed to £9,835 2s, 4d, The
amount of £I0,oG5, 11^. 4d, is either invested or standing to
the account of the General Treasurers, bearing interest. Even
on its present limited scale the Princess Alice Branch will
involve an added charge of several hundreds a year ; and the
Committee feel that the extension of this part of the work can
only be undertaken as an increase of Annual Income may
justify it.
The Subscriptions and Donations for the year show an increase
of £510 I85. 9c?. But this is entirely owing to the receipt of
a number of congregational collections made generally either
at the "Watch-night service or on Christmas-day, and which
amounted to £603 14^. 2d, Very special thanks are presented
to those ministers and other friends who interested themselves
to secure for us these collections. It is believed that the ex-
periment thus made may be repeated with still greater success,
and it is hoped that our friends in very many parts of the
country will choose to connect with these interesting services
of the closing year some offering in behalf of the children whose
needs are always great, though they appeal with a peculiar force
to Christian pity and regard at that season.
350 CHILDREWa HOME AND ORPHANAGE. [1884.
A sum of ^599 15s. 10c?. has been received from the Colonial
Birthday Society. A balance of £362 5«. bd. is also brought
to account this year, being donations promised during Dr.
Stephenson's visit to the Colonies, but not received until after
the closing of last year's Eeport.
On the other side, the Ordinary Income exceeds the Ordinary
Expenditure by ^587 10s. 9c?, But the Extraordinary Expen-
diture has demanded aU this, together with the special items
of Extraordinary Income, and has left us with an increase of
debt amounting to £1,090 19s. Ad, It should be remembered,
however, that this includes the sum of d6600 paid for a house in
connection with the London Branch.
It should be further remembered that the charge for interest,
has amounted to £478 2s, 7c?., a charge which would disappear
at once if the debt were paid. These and other charges account
for the increase of the debt, which amounts to £9,262 2$. 7d.
Our friends are again remioded that this debt has not arisen
from the annual Ordinary Expenditure being allowed to outrun
the Ordinary Income, but from the fact that we have never had
a large and competent Foundation-Fund, but have been com-
pelled to acquire, enlarge, and adapt the several properties, by
means of spasmodic efforts. ^
An effort is in progress for the removal of the debt, towards
which promises have been received amounting to £4,900.
The children resident in the Homes and Orphanage on
March 31st, 1884, were — In London, 255 ; at Edgworth, 163 ;
at Milton, 169 ; at Kamsey, 36 ; at Birmingham, 45 ; in
Canada, 20. Total, 688,
In addition to these, about 400 young people, formerly
inmattes, are receiving systematic supervision during their earlier
years in situations. And in the Children's Mission, in London,
about 500 are attending religious services, and are otherwise
benefited.
During the year eighty-two have been placed in situations at
home or abroad, and six children have died in the several
Branches of the Home,

ABSTEACT OF EEPOET UPON THE EXAMINATION
OF PEEACHEES ON TEIAL.
PBESSlirrBD TO THB CoiTE'EBENGE, 1884.
The Examination was held, as directed by the Conference in
1883, on "Wednesday, April 2nd, and Thursday, April 3rd,
1884; and also the further examination contingently pre-
scribed by the Conference (Minutes Conf. 1883, 10, pp, 173,
174).
A supplementary examination, provided for by the Eesolu-
tion of the Conference 15 (Minutes, 1883, p. 174), was duly
held. It was attended by /owr probationers in the third year,
and by one in the second year.
Of the entire number of probationers, only three were absent
from examination. All others attended either the ordinary or the
supplementary examination. Two absentees were recommended
for exemption by the Second London District Meeting, and one
probationer was medically advised not to present himself for
examination;
The Conference of 1882 resolved — ^that * Every Preacher on
Trial shall present for Examination as many as two books (or
other prescribed portions) of Scripture, either in the original
language or in English; and that in every case in which a
preacher on trial obtains less than one-third of the full number
of marks for a paper on any portion of Scripture, he shall be
re-examined in the same subject in the month of June following,
and the results of both Examinations shall be specially reported
to the Conference/ The General Secretaries therefore report
respecting one probationer of the fourth year, and two of the
third year.
Two probationers of the third year did not present papers in
Hebrew who had not been excused from examination in that
subject by their Institution Tutors.
1884.] PREACHERS ON TRIAL. 369
The general result of the Ezaminatioii of the probationers
of each year was as follows : —
FiEST Teab. — 2 probationers were examined: who wrote
8 papers, the valuation marks of which were as follows : —
i, 4; ii-f, 2; ii, 1 ; iii-f, 1. Both were placed in the Honours
list.
Sucoin) Yeab. — 13 probationers were examined : who wrote
64 papers, the valuation marks of which were as follows : —
i, 2 ; ii4-, 8 ; ii + , 21; iii, 15; iii, 10; iv+, 4; iv, 4. One pro-
bationer obtained Honours.
Thied Teab. — 38 probationers were examined : who wrote
176 papers, the valuation marks were: — i4-, 2; i, 21; ii4-, 33;
ii, 42; iii+, 38; iii, 25 ; iv+, 9 ; iv, 5. Failure, 1. Twelve
probationers were placed in the Honours list.
FoTJBTH Teab.— 42 probationers were examined: who wrote
203 papers, the valuation marks of which were as follows : — i+, 4 ;
i, 15; ii+, 18; ii, 33; iii-f, 46; iii, 45; iv+, 27; iv, 15.
Nine probationers were placed in the Honours list.
The average marks obtained by probationers were as follows \-^
Second Teab, 1883. — ^Papers valued 3 -f, 18%; above 3+,
40%; below 3-h, 40%. .1884.-3+, 23%; above 3-f, 48%;
below 3 + ,28%.
Thied Teab, 1883.— 3+ , 25% ; above 3+, 36% ; below 3+,
38%. 1884.— 3+, 21% ; above 3+, 55% ; below, 22%.
FouETH Teab, 1883.— 3+, 18% ; above 3+, 38% ; below 3+,
43%. 1884.— 3+, 22% ; above 3+, 34% ; below 3+, 42%.
It will be seen that the passes of the second year were better
in 1884 than in 1883, so were those of the third year; but
that the passes of the fourth year in 1884 were rather inferior
to those of 1883.

APPENDIX VIII.
ABSTEACT OP THE EEPOET OP THE TEMPEEANCE
COMMITTEE TO THE CONPEEENCE OP 1884.
The total number o£ Bands of Hope reported this year is
2,821, an increase of 177. The number of members is 291,989,
an increase of 20,289. As the increase in our Sunday-schools
is 10,508, the Bands of Hope are gradually gaining upon the
Sunday-schools. At the same time, as we have now 852,459
Sunday-scholars, much must still be done before we attain the
high but practicable and most desirable ideal of enrolling every
Sunday-scholar in a Band of Hope. When the Band of Hope
returns are analysed, it appears that 1,738 of them, with 182,367
members, are organized according to Conference Eules, while
1,072, with 105,595 members, have not yet availed themselves of
the admirable and carefully considered organizations sanctioned
by the Conference. The May District Meetings, with the full
information now laid before them, would do well to encourage
all irregular Bands to adopt the Conference Eules, and so secure
status, authority, and influence, which they cannot otherwise
possess.
The great majority of the Bands of Hope, 2,639, with 273,677
members, are connected with Sunday-schools. This intimate
union furnishes the Band of Hope with a perpetual stream of
recruits, and tends to leaven the whole school with Temperance
principles.
The total number of Wesley an-Methodist Temperance Societies
is only 387, with 26,713 enrolled members. This is an increase
of sixteen Societies, and an apparent decrease of 1,701 members.
The decrease is only apparent, as there was a mistake in the
schedule of one of the large Districts last year. This total,
however, is very small, and we fear it will greatly mislead out-
siders, and even many of our own people. The fact is that
thousands of our most zealous Temperance workers are con-
nected with Blue Eibbon and other undenominational organiza-
tions. Some of these are almost entirely worked by our people,
k
376 TEMPERANCE. [1884.
and are really Methodist organizations, but cannot be returned
in our Schedules. Moreover, we return only ' enrolled mem-
bers,' whereas in many cases the fruits of Methodist Temperance
work among adults are not thus formally enrolled. Moreover,
a large number of men and women are returned as members of
Bands of Hope. Our work among adults is confronted by two
difficulties. In towns many of our most zealous people find it
much easier to carry on combined Temperance work on some
undenominational basis, and it is difficult to secure either
workers or time to organize distinctly Methodist Societies. In
villages, on the other hand, there is not sufficient strength to
maintain both a Band of Hope and a Temperance Society ; and
one District has wisely suggested that in the case of villages
and small towns, the best course is simply to organize an adult
section of the Band of Hope. In some cases this admirable
plan might be adopted in large towns also. It is very un-
desirable that our own Church should do no positive Temperance
work of her own among men and women. Tour Committee
have long been of opinion that two desiderata must still be
supplied before a great impetus can be given to the work of
Methodist Temperance Societies, and these are a Connexional
organ in the Press, and some kind of organizing agency. For
several years your Committee have been in correspondence with
the proprietors of the Methodist Temperance Magazine, in order
to secure that useful publication for the Connexion. They are
happy to say that there is now a prospect of achieving that
desirable result. With respect to the organizing agency, one
gentleman has spontaneously offered a considerable sum of
money towards the support of a Connexional Temperance
Missionary, should the Conference appoint one. In the exist-
ing state of opinion, your Committee is not prepared to offer
any definite suggestion. But whatever may be done hereafter,
it is very important that we should place our main dependence
upon District action. The new District Temperance Sub^Com-
mittees have already justified their existence, and in years to
come will increasingly exhibit the wisdom of the Conference,
when it supplied that missing link in our Temperance organiza-
tion.
After the unprecedented effort of lastyear, it was unnecessary
to repeat the Congregational petitions for Simday Closing. But
a new and important step was taken by the promotion of
1884.]

petitions fBom the March Quarterly Meetings. As England
alone in the United Kingdom is cursed with a Sunday Liquor
Trade, only the English Quarterly Meetings were asked to
petition. A ready response was given. 248 petitions signed
by 7,776 ministers and Circuit officials were presented to
Parliament. Several Quarterly Meetings were held too late to
participate in the movement, or the response would have been
greater still. Methodism is practically unanimous in demand-
ing this rightful boon, which has been so long withheld by
Parliament from the people of England. We should add on
the subject of Petitioning, that a large number of petitions have
been sent from our Sunday-schools, but in consequence of their
indefinite headings, the exact number cannot be determined
from the Parliamentary returns.

ABSTEACT OP EEPOET OP COMMITTEE
APPOINTED TO WATCH THE INTEEESTS OP
METHODISM IN SOUTH WALES.
1. The South Wales aitd Moitmloiithshibe Wesletan-
Methodist Extension Fund.
The amounts locally promised towards this Pund amount to
X3,000. The following facts will show the need of such a Pund
as is being now formed : — Twentj-one valleys, within easy dis-
tance of Cardiff and Swansea, have been opened up for Colliery
purposes; the population thus represented, including that of
the towns within the areas, is more than one million. Most of
these valleys are in an early stage of working, and are likely to
be very largely developed within the next few years.
Moreover, in a large number of small towns and villages
beyond this manufacturing area, with an increasing ratio of
English-speaking persons, arising largely from the lingual
transition through which South Wales is now passing, there is
a lamentable need for a great extension of Methodist- services,
either English or Bi-lingual.
Within the area of this Pund there are, at least, 600,000
persons yet to be reached by Christian agencies. Amongst the
Churches in South Wales, Wesleyan-Methodism stands, in
regard to membership, fourth in order ; but it has increased
during the last twenty years, at a rate exceeded only by one
Christian Church. It is felt, therefore, that great responsibilities
are laid upon the Methodist people to do their legitimate part in
meeting the pressing needs of the Southern part of the Princi-
pality.
2. Special Reports have been made by the Committee on the
Brecon (English and Welsh) and Carmarthen (English and
Welsh) Circuits.
3. The proceedings of this Committee have been duly^reported
to the Bristol, Swansea and South Wales District Committees.

APPENDIX X
WEST INDIAN CONEEEENCE.
Financial Aeeangements Adopted by the Confeeeece in
ITS Eepresentative Session.
Considering the financial dependence of the work in some
parts of the West Indies on the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary
Society, and the consequent rights and responsibilities of the
Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society, the Q-rants from the
Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society shall be made to the
Annual Conferences as follows : —
I. Grants to the West Indian Districts,
1. That portion of the Funds raised in the West Indian Dis-
tricts for the carrying on of the work in the West Indies, which
has hitherto been accounted for as Missionary contributions to
the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society, shall be disbursed
under the management of the District Committees, subject to
the control of the Annual Conferences. A West Indian
Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society shall be organized, and
a Fund established, for the carrying out of aggressive Missionary
work.
2. For the next seven years Q-rants shall be paid annually by
the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society as follows : — To the
Jamaica Districts, <£500 for school-purposes ; to the Hayti Dis-
trict, a sum not exceeding £500 for general purposes ; to the
British Q-uiana District, a sum not exceeding .£400 for general
purposes ; to the Antigua District, £400 for general purposes ;
to the St. Kitt's District, £300 for general purposes.
3. For the next seven years a sum not exceeding £40 shall
also be paid annually to the York Castle Institution, Jamaica,
and a like sum of £40 to the Educational Institution to be
founded in connection with the Eastern Annual Conference, on
account of each Candidate for the Ministry resident therein for
training. The ordinary Grant to the York Castle Institution
will cease with the payment to be made in 1885.
4. An Educational Institution of the same nature as that at
k
380 WEST INDIAN CONFERENCE. [1884.
York Castle, Jamaica, sliall be established as soon as possible
within the limits of the Eastern Annual Conference, and a sum
of £1,000 shall be granted by the Wesleyan-Methodist Mis-
sionary Society to assist in carrying out this object. A further
sum, not exceeding .£250 per annum, shall be paid towards the
maintenance of this Institution for a term of seven years.
5. The debt now owing to the Wesleyan-Methodist Mission-
ary Society by the British Q-uiana District, amounting to .£2,664,
shall be remitted.
6. A Grant shall be made to the British Q-uiana District for
the extinction of, the following items of debt upon Mission-
property in that District: .£1,611 13s. 4d. now borrowed at
10 per cent, interest ; <£243 borrowed at 8 per cent., and
£222 17s. lOd. borrowed at 8 per cent, interest; total,
£2,077 lis. 2d.
7. Whereas aU Ministers in the West Indies, whose names
are on the Minutes of the Yearly Conference in 1884, have a
claim upon the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society for
certain allowances to be paid to them when they shall become
Supernumeraries, and at their death to be paid to their Widows,
all such claims shall remain in force and unaltered. But no
Minister in the West Indian Connexion, who shall enter the
Ministry after 1884, shall have any claim for such allowances
upon the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society.
8. A payment of .£500 shall be made by the Wesleyan-
Methodist Missionary Society to both the Eastern and Western
Conferences to form a nucleus for a Worn-out Ministers' and
Ministers' Widows' Fund, which Grant shall be paid whenever
a satisfactory scheme for the formation of such Eunds shall
have been submitted to the Committee of the Wesleyan-
Methodist Missionary Society.
II. Outfit and Passage of Ministers and Preachers on Trial
who may he sent out from England at tlie request of the West
Indian Annual Conferences.
1. The cost of outfit and passage of Ministers and Preachers
on Trial who may be sent from England to the Hayti District
shall be paid by the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society
for the next seven years : provided that, if the General Con-
ference or the Western Annual Conference remove any Minister
from the Hayti District, the place made vacant shall be supplied
without any charge for outfit and passage upon the Wesleyan-
Methodist Missionary Society.
1884.] mNANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS, 381
2. In the case of Ministers and Preachers on Trial who may
be sent out from England to other Districts in the West Indian
Connexion, one-half of the cost of outfit and passage shall,
during the next seven years, be paid by the Wesleyan-Methodist
Missionary Society, and one-half by the Annual Conference to
which they may be appointed.
III. Trust Property in the West Indies.
With a view to the settlement of the Trust Property in the
West Indies upon a uniform deed, which may be adopted
throughout the West Indian Connexion, drawn as far as local
peculiarities of law will permit according to the provisions of
the Chapel Model Deed, this Conference directs the West
Indian General Conference to prepare such a deed as early as
possible, and submit it for the approval of the Missionary Com-
mittee and the * Yearly Conference.'
IV. The President of the General Conference,
Inasmuch as the time of the President of the General
Conference will be very largely employed outside of the Circuit
to which he may be appointed, a grant of £250 shall be paid
annually by the Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society, for
the next seven years, towards his maintenance and official
expenses.
