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.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ 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.
+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find
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
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

Q. Vn. What Ministers have died since the last Conference?
A. 1. In Ghreat Britain, the ihi/rty-two following : —
(1.) Nathaniel Alston; who was bom at Preston, Lancashire,
in 1812. His parents were pious, and he sought and found
the Lord in early life. At the age of sixteen he became a Local
Preacher, and in due course entered the Itinerant ministry, to
which he believed himself divinely called. He was an extensive
reader and a close student, and all his studies were pursued
with the object of enabling him the better to persuade men to
embrace the Q-ospel.
As a preacher, he was original and painstaking, sometimes
quaint, but always simple, natural, and earnest. His sermons
were carefully prepared and rich in evangelical truth. They
ISrOi] OBITUARIES. 13
were highly appreciated by the thoughtful and devout of his
congregations. He was a man of much penetration and dis-
cernment, and although constitutionally timid and nervous,
was ever cheerful. He w'as warmly attached to Methodist
doctrines and usages, yet eminently of a catholic spirit, loving
all who loved our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. His
spiritual life was strong and uniform. After forty-one years
of active service he became a Superniunerary, and retired
to Pareham, where for three years he continued to preach
regularly on the Lord's-day, and to attend meetings for
prayer.
On Sunday, August 4th, 1878, he left his home to go to his
appointment, when he was smitten with paralysis. He lingered
till the following Wednesday, when he peacefully passed away,
in the sixty-seventh year of his age, and the forty-fifth of his
ministry.
(2.) Hekbt J. Staley; who was a native of Sheffield, and
came of Methodist parents. He was educated at the Moravian
School, Buckinfield. During his apprenticeship in Stockport,
he derived much benefit from the ministry of the Eev. Dr.
Osbom, and at that time was converted to God. He commenced
preaching in early life, and in 1848 entered the ministry,
giving himself wholly to the great work to which the Master
called him. His supreme desire was to be a workman needing
not to be ashamed. He was a diligent student of the Scriptures,
and prepared for the pulpit with great and habitual care. His
preaching of the Word was intelligent, evangelical, and prac-
tical. He never forgot the great object of preaching, — ^the
salvation of souls. It was his happiness to know of many
souls saved through his instrumentality. Mr. Staley was 'a
holy man of God ; ' holiness was his constant pursuit, and his
conduct and character exemplified deep piety.
In the Circuits to which he was appointed he won the respect
of those among whom he laboured, through unremitting exertions
to promote the interests of the Church and the cause of his
14 OMTtrARlMS. [1879.
great Masted. In offices of trust committed to him, he was
most conscientious and painstaking. On returning to his home
at the close of the Conference of 1878, he was taken ill.
Medical help was speedily obtained, but in yain. He told the
doctor he was a dying man, adding, after a little time, * Heaven
is my home.' On August 13th, he peacefully passed away to
join those who, in the midst of the solemnities of Conference
sittings, had been suddenly called from the Church below to the
Church in heaven. During his short illness, Mr. Staley was
most graciously sustained. His last care was about his Circuit
work. His last words were the solemn utterance of the bene-
diction, when prayer had been offered by a colleague.
• (3.) Hbkbt Castle ; who was bom in Bristol on March 19th,
1814. The early death of his father left the training of the
youth to his mother, an eminently pious woman, who guided
his footsteps into the narrow way, and watched his goings
until he was established in grace. He was happy in the
associates to which Methodism introduced him, being privileged
with the influence and counsel of Bichard Treffry, sen., and
John Lomas. Mr. Castle was accepted by the Conference of
1836. He set before his mind the apostolic standard : * A work-
man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the woini
of truth.' He devoted much time to the study of Theology,
diligently perusing the works of the Puritan divines, John Howe
being an inseparable companion. His sermons were always
carefully prepared, and he proclaimed the Gospel witii clear-
ness, earnestness, and great devoutness of spirit. He was
never known to neglect a week-night service. Wherever he
went he carried the influence of the truth which he preached,
and nowhere did he make religion more attractive than in his
own family. The leading feature of his character was his
uniform gentleness and geniality. He possessed in a high
degree the power of winning confidence and love. He was
a true brother to his colleagues, a genuine friend to his people,
and a real comforter to the sick and sorrowing of his flock.
1879.] OBITUARIES. 16
The last Sabbath he spent on earth he preached from a text
which foreshadowed the eyent of the week: 'It shall come
to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.' The next day
he was seized with a malady which soon proved fatal. His
sufferings were at first sharp and distressing, but pain did not
shake the steadfastness of his faith, or disturb the meekness
of his submission. * I know,' said he, ' whom I have believed.
He who has been with me these forty years will not forsake
me now.' His tranquillity was so deep that during a paroxysm
of agony he exclaimed, 'Everything is beautiful!' It was
•evening time,' but there was 'light'; and into the perfect glory
of that light he entered on the morning of Saturday, August
24th, 1878, in the sixty-fifth year of his age, and the fort)'-
f ourth of his ministry.
(4.) fioBEBT iosm (a) ; who was bom at Penmachno, Korth
Wales, August 10th, 1819. He was from early youth marked
by strict morality and deep religious convictions. In his
sixteenth year he was brought to a saving knowledge of the
truth as it is in Jesus. Soon afterwards he began to labour as
a Sunday-school Teacher and Prayer Leader, and two years
later as a Local Preacher. The intelligence and fervour with
which he engaged in these exercises indicated quaKfications for
a wider sphere of usefulness. At the Conference of 1841 he
was accepted as a candidate for the ministry, and he entered
upon the vocation of his life with a thoroughness of consecration,
which faltered not during his ministerial career pf thirty-
seven years. He was a man of unbending integrity and great
conscientiousness. His preaching was clear and instructive,
evangelical and practical ; his appeals to the heart of his hearers
were earnest, and at times powerful. His labours were owned
by the Head of the Church, and many will be the crown
of his rejoicing ' in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at
His coming.' In the administration of Circuit affairs he was
judicious, firm, and imswerving in his fidelity to Methodist
doctrine and polity. As a pastor, his tender sympathy and
1 OBITUARIES, [ 1 87(T.
wise counsel produced the happiest effects. Soon after the
commencement of his second year's labour in the Beaumaris
Grcuit, aggravated symptoms of heart-disease manifested them-
selves. The disease gradually grew upon him, until August
25th, 1878, when, with a brightened countenance, as if he saw
the glory of the Lord, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the sixtieth
year of his age, and the thirty-eighth of his ministry.
(5.) Joseph Ambbose Hemswobth ; who was bom of godly
parents at Morley, near Leeds, in 1840. Wten nearly tweniy
years of age he decided for Christ. His convictions of sin
were very pungent, and the assurance of Divine favour that
followed was unmistakably clear. Shortly after his conversion
lie was made Leader of a class of young persons, and after
having in this office and in that of Local Preacher given proof
of possessing gifts and grace, in response to the Divine call he
entered the ministry in 1864. As a preacher, he was quiet,
thoughtful, and deeply spiritual ; his sermons gave evidence of
careful preparation, and were profitable to many. He conscien-
tiously discharged the duties of a pastor, making it a nde to
pay a certain number of visits every week. As a colleague, he
was affectionate and true. In his domestic and social relation-
ships he was Exemplary, — most devoted as a husband, affectionate
as a father, and kind, considerate, and courteous as a friend.
For some months before his death his health was unfit for the
work which his love for the Master would not allow him to lay

great depression and pain. His last illness was bronchitis,
complicated by hemorrhage of the lungs. He fell asleep in
Jesus, September 9th, 1878, aged thirty-eight years.

At a very early age he gave his heart to God. He joined the

Local Preacher.
In 1846 he entered the Wesleyan-Methodist ministry. He

was privileged to witness and take part in some very gracious
revivals, in which hundreds were converted to God. His happy
and successful ministry was continued until August 1869, when
he had a very severe attack of illness ; but after suffering and
resting for two years he was able to resume his much-loved
work, and continued in it until August, 1878. His sufferings,
during his last affliction, were very severe. He could speak but
very little, yet almost every word was praise. After the mo-
mentary depression and disappointment which he felt when he
found that his work on earth was done, he was triumphantly
happy, and hailed the time of his departure with joy. As a
minister, Mr. Badcock was faithful,- affectionate, earnest, and
prayerful ; very careful in his pulpit-preparation, and delighting
to set forth Christ in his preaching. As a pastor, he was most
diligent, and his loving sympathy bound his people to him in
the closest ties. As a Superintendent, he was genial, kind, and
considerate; discharging all his duties most assiduously, not-
withstanding much bodily infirmity. On September 11th, 1878,
he entered into rest, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, and the
thirty-third of his ministry.
(7.) EoBBET Dyson (a) ; who was bom in Liverpool on Decem-
ber 2drd, 1815, and died at Bournemouth, September 11th, 1878.
His parents were members of the Established Church. The
impressions which resulted in his conversion were received while
attending a meeting held on behalf of the London Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews. Having given
his heart to the Lord, he thoughtfully and deliberately gave
his hand to the Methodist people, and throughout life he was
most loyally attached to our doctrines and discipline. After
labouring with great acceptance for several years as a Local
Preacher he was urged to enter the ministry ; but for some
time his natural reserve and timidity were found insuperable
obstacles. At length his own stem sense of duty, combined
with the influence of Dr. Beaumont, prevailed ; and, l^having
offered himself to the Conference of 1843, he was accepted as

a probationer. His intellectual powers, which were of a high
order, were diligently cultiyated. His mind was well stored
with Weslejan and Puritan theology. His vigorous intellect,
his fine voice, his pure English, his lucid style, his impassioned
deliyery, his spiritual fervour, made his ministry very attractive
and powerful ; and under the Divine blessing he laboured in all
his Circuits with great acceptance, and in several with signal
success. He performed faithfully all the work of a Methodist
preacher, attending carefully to the duties of Circuit manage-
ment. As a pastor, he was diligent, kind, and sympathetic.
As a colleague, he was honourable and considerate. His piety
was intelligent, robust, and earnest. His life was pure and
blameless. His death was alarmingly sudden, but his end was
peace.
(8.) Oeorgb Smith (d) ; who was bom at Bedditch, April
17th, 1845. He was trained in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord. Through severe affliction, when only sixteen years of
age, he was brought to the knowledge of Christ. Throughout life
he continued stead&st in th6 faith. Shortly after his conver-
sion he felt that he was called of God to preach His Word. He
was. encouraged to employ the gifts conferred on him in ex-
horting sinners to flee from the wrath to come ; and the Holy
Spirit made his labours effective in the conversion of souls. In
1865 he was accepted as a candidate^r the ministry; and, having
received an excellent education, he highly appreciated and con-
scientiously improved three years' residence in the Theological
Institution at Didsbury. His subsequent appointment as Assist-
an^Tutor afforded evidence of the esteem in which he was held
by both the Tutors and students. In Circuit-work he laboured
with much acceptance. The studious habits which he formed
were perseveringly maintained, and contributed to render his
ministry highly interestmg, instructive, and edifying. His ser-
iaons were well thought out, were clearly expressed in highly
chaste language, and were delivered with compassionate and
loving earnestness. He was a tender ana attentive pastor, and as

a colleague he was faithful in all things. During his first year
at Newport, Monmouthshire, his health failed, and he was com-
pelled in 1874 to become a Supernumerary. Through a pro-
tracted illness his faith in Ood was unshaken, and his peace
unbroken. On the day of his death he said, * The Lord accepted
me long ago ; that is a settled matter.' In this calm state he
entered upon the blessedness of those who die in the Lord,
October 12th, 1878, in the thirty-fourth year of his age, and the
twelfth of his ministry.
(9.) James Little; who was bom at Lewes, Sussex, in 1804.
He had the adyantage of a good education and careful religious
training, and in early life he gave himself to the Lord, and
joined the Wesleyan-Methodist Society. For several years
he laboured earnestly as a Local Preacher. His zeal and gifts
marked him out for higher office in the Church ; and in the
year 1838 he was accepted by the Conference as a candidate
for the ministry. In several Circuits he laboured with acceptance
and success. He was a thoughtful expositor of Holy Scripture.
His health having been seriously impaired by a railway accident,
he was compelled in the year 1871 to become a Supemumeraiy.
He settled at Oeethorpes, near Grimsby, where for a short
time he preached occasionally, led a Glass, and visited the sick.
It soon, however, became evident that his physical and mental
powers were failing, and that his work was done. In 1876 he
removed to the neighbourhood of London. Soon afterwards he
was confined to his bed, but he calmly committed himself into
the hands of his Heavenly Father, frequently saying, ' He will
not leave me now.' When earthly things had ceased to in-
terest him, he loved to pray for his brethren in the ministry. On
October 26th, 1878, he peacefully passed away, in the seventy-
fourth year of his age, and the forty-first of his ministry.

Tendon to QtA. He attended tiie Covenant Serriee in January,
1810, and that eemee made a powerfol impression npon him.
For a time he walked io darkness; but at length, about his
eighteenth birthdaj, the Savioor was dearlj lerealed to him,
and he was filled with peace in bdieving. He began to preadi
in 1813, and offered himself for the ministiy at the Oonferenoe
of 1815, bj which he was accepted and appointed to the Bje
Circuit. For fifty-four years he laboured with fidelity and
success in England, ScotUnd, and the Zetland Isles. * His last
Circuit was Lewes, in Sussex ; on leaving whidi, in 1869, he
retired from the regular work of the ministry, and removed to
the Hackney Circuit. For some years he was able to preach
twice every Lord's-day, and constantly to visit the side and the
dying. Almost to the last day of his bf e he devoted himself to
acts of mercy. In youth he cultivated habits of the strictest
temperance, economy, and self-denial, which he faithfully main-
tained throughout a long life. Hq practLsed habitual and even
extreme self-denial, in order that he might contribute more
largely to religious and benevolent objects. Shortly before his
departure, he said that if he could return to his youth, he
should prefer the position of a Methodist preacher to any
other, and that throughout eternity he should have to praise
God for the honour conferred upon him in his being called to
the Christian ministry. On his death-bed he expressed unshaken
confidence in Christ as his Bedeemer. In reply to the question,
^ Is Christ precious ?' his countenance beamed with joy, and he
said, with great emphasis, ' O yes! O yes !' He died December
22nd, 1878, in the eighty-seventh year of his age, and the sixty-
fourth of his ministry.

in 1812. At the age of eighteen he earnestly sought and ob-
tained an experimental and sanctifying knowledge of the truth

secrated youth, he began to work in the vineyard of the Lord.
Though his educational advantages had been few, he had a great
thirst for knowledge, and practised much self-denial in order to
purchase books. Fervently he sought the blessing of God upon
his studies, and his profiting appeared unto many. His Provi-
dential designation was soon apparent. Called of G-od, he was
set apart by the Church to the work and office of the Christian
ministry, in the year 1835. His first foreign appointment was
to Cape Town, South Africa. As a missionary, he laboured for
some years with great diligence, delight, and success. Obliged
to return home on account of failing health, his missionary ex-
perience coloured the whole of his future life. For twenty-nine
years afterwards in EngHsh Circuits, preaching the Word was his
greatest delight. His discourses were characterized by great plain-
ness of speech, simplicity of style, tenderness of feeling, fervour
of spirit, and occasional gleams of subdued humour. He was a
diligent student of the Holy Scriptures. His daily walk and
conversation corresponded with his preaching. He was a
&ithful pastor, loving and loved by the people of his charge ;
as a colleague, he manifested a generous and brotherly spirit,
and not a .few confided in him as a friend. In two of his
English Circuits he was favoured to take part in extensive
revivals. His last illness was very severe and prolonged. Deep
called unto deep ; but the Lord was ever with him. In great
peace and in the full assurance of hope he died, December
27th, 1878, in the sixty-seventh year of his age, and the forty-
fourth of his ministry.
(12.) SoiBS BAynEBSoir ; who was bom in Manchester on Sep-
tember 29th, 1806. Brought up by pious parents in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord, he was from childhood virtuous,
conscientious, and reverent. But it was not until his twenty-
second year that God assured him of the forgiveness of sins.
This filled him with such a desire to make others partakers of
the same blessing, that he soon afterwards became an earnest,
useful preacher. Upon the unanimous recommendation of his

native Circuit he was accepted by the Conference of 1832 as a
missionary candidate. After two years' serrice in the home
work, he was ordained and appointed to the West Indies,
where his abundant labours were signally owned of God. In
1842 impaired health compelled him to return to England.
The subsequent thirty-six years of his ministerial life (except
four spent as a Supernumerary) were zealouAly devoted to the
work of GK)d in Englisb Circuits. The Lord blessed him with
a large harvest of souls. .
Mr. Banderson was emphatically ' a good man, and full of the
Holy Ghost and of faith.' His deep and fervent piety gave the
character of sanctity to his whole life ; the flame of his love,
zeal, and joy, was constantly kindled anew; and habitually
enjoying the full salvation of the Gospel, he humbly professed
and consistently exemplified it, ever making it a prominent
subject of his public ministrations. He studied to be (as he
records) ^ a rousing preacher,' intent on converting sinners and
quickening believers.
. The duties of a Superintendent^ and those belonging to the
Coxmexional offices with which he was honoured^ were discharged
with strict :fidelity, punctuality, and dis(»«tion. As a colleague,
he was genial and generous^ affectionate and faithful, gladly
honouring his brethren, and delighting to share their ccmfideno^
and love. In pastoral work, he was diligent, urbane, judicious,
and devout. In the later portion of lif e j his mature ministra^
tions and radiant countenance gave him a peculiar charm and
influence as a preacher and pastor. His cheerful activity and
devotedness in the work of God at Watford were remarkable,
while his preaching was increasingly attractive. In October last
affliction laid him prostrate ; enfeebled by old age, hard work,
and extreme abstemiousness, he at length rapidly sank. Yet in
his greatest debility his faith was unshaken, his hope undimmed,
his serenity unbroken. As the time of his departure approached,
he exclaimed, * I now feel the force of those blessed doctrines I
have endeavoured to preach. They are true, — they are true !
Let it be known I said, All is well^ — all is well! I want to

escape away ; bright prospects ! Jesus is there. He is looking
on me. Gome — come— come!' Thus looking to Jesus, not
seeing death, he peacefully passed away to eternal rest, December
30th; 1878.
(13.) Edwabd HoBTOsr ; who was bom at Morpeth in the year
1815. He was blessed with piousr parents, who trained him for
hearen. At ten years of age he was conrerted to Gh>d, at
sixteen he became a Local Preacher, and at twenty-three he
was separated to the work of the Christian ministry. He was
greatly gifted in pray». His preaching was always fresh, and
gave evidence of careful reading, much thought, fervent prayer,
and humble dependence on the Holy Spirit, It was wisely
adapted to the condition of his hearers. Under it sinners were
converted, and believers edified. He was a shepherd who cared
for the flock, and went before them in holy example. He was
a faithful pastor, and in many dwellings * he being dead yet
speaketh.' He was truly modest, and' when told of any
success resulting from his labours, would say, ' Give the glory
to God, I am but the instrument/ His last illness was sudden
and severe, but he never murmured. At times he had great
joy, and wished he had more strength to praise the Lord.
When informed that he could not recover, he said, >I shall see
the King in His beauty;' and, turning to his weeping wife,
added, ^It is God's will to take me, and you must let the
Lord have His own way.' He then sank rapidly, and with-
out a struggle or a groan fell asleep in Jesus, at Burton-on-
Trent, haying just completed the fortieth year of his ministry,
and the sixty-third of his age.
(14.) Hbnbv Fowis ; who was bom at Wolverhampton, June
8th, 1789. He feared the Lord from his youths but it was not
until about his nineteenth year that he gave his heart fully to
Gkxi. He became a Local Preacher in 1811, and waa accepted
as a candidate for the Wesleyan ministry in 1813. With a deep
sense of responsibility he entered upon the sacred office, and for

a eonfliderable time laboured under severe mental depression in
relation to liis call to and fitness for the work. The judicious
counsels of a friend, however, removed his doubts, and he then
presented himself afresh, and with stronger vows, a living sacri-
fice to God. For fortynseven years he was permitted to follow
his holy vocation, and to prove that he had not mistalcen the
import of the ' Voice Divine.' As a preacher, he possessed
powers of a very high order. The prominent characteristics of
his preaching were originality, incisiveness, and strength. His
sermons were prepared with great care, and told upon the in-
tellect and heart of his hearers. In the administration of disci-
pline he was firm and faithful. As a pastor, he was diligent,
prompt, and punctual in his attention to duty. He was a man
of sterling principle, of high honour, and devoted allegiance to
his Master. His last appointment was in 1857, to Xorthwich,
where, after three happy and successful years, he became a
Supernumerary. In his retirement from the more active duties
of the mmiBtry he devoted himself, as far an his energies per-
mitted, to his much-loved employment, preaching and otherwise
assisting in the work of the Circuit. In 1875 he was compelled
to give up all public service, and 'in age and feebleness
extreme,' he calmly awaited the summons of his Lord. With
unimpaired confidence in the Atonement, and unshaken hope in
Ood, he fell asleep, January 4th, 1879, in the ninetieth year of
his age, and the siziynsixth of his ministry.
(15.) Henby Fish, M.A. ; who was bom at Hooton-Pagnell,
near Doncaster, August 5th, 1802. From his parents he learned
the first principles of Christianity, and subsequently, under the
ministry of the Wesleyan-Methodists, was convinced of sin.
In his eighteenth year he was truly converted to God, and at
once joined a Class and made known with joy what the Lord
had done for him. His first effort to preach was made in a
cottage in the village of Upton, from the words, * Prepare to
meet thy Ood ;' and though his mind was severely tried in regard
to the step he had taken, his fears were silenced by the manifest
1870.] OBITUARIES. 25
call of God and his own sense of duty. Soon afterwards he
was led to offer himself as a candidate for the ministry. He
was accepted at the Conference of 1823, and appointed to
the Worcester Circuit. During twenty-four years he exercised
a successful ministry in several of the more important Circuits
of the Connexion. In 1847 he was compelled, by the failure of
his voice, to retire from the full work of the ministry, and
from that year to his death he resided, as a Supernumerary, at
Kettering. As a preacher, his earlier ministry was one of great
power and widely-spread influence. To the exposition of Divine
Truth he brought a vigorous mind, disciplined by much study
and prayer. He had a quick discernment of the meaning and
scope of the text, and a faculty of clear, logical arrangement ;
and the Gospel which he proclaimed with noble eloquence
and intense earnestness, energized by the power from on high,
wrought deep conviction in the hearts of his hearers, and
turned many to righteousness, some of whom have ranked
amongst the most gifted and devoted sons of Methodism. As a
writer, he was well known and highly esteemed. His controver-
sial works on Eomanism rendered good service to the cause of
truth, and for many years Methodist periodical literature was
enriched by his pen. His edition of Charles WesUy^s Poetical
Version of the Psalms of David has permanent interest and value.
His long retirement as a Supernumerary was made by him
a happy and useful service to the Church of Christ. Thirty-
two years ago he expressed, with touching beauty, his feelings
in the prospect of his early, enforced retreat from the wprk he
loved so well, and in which high success had attended him :
' I shall still be a happy man; the voice of the song-bird may be
hushed, but the music is still in the heart.' Such was his life
to the end. He was a valued Leader, and a faithful friend and
counsellor, trusted and beloved by rich and poor. So far as his
infirmity allowed, he preached in his own Circuit and neigh-
bourhood, and occasionally visited scenes of former labour.
Daring his last illness his submission to Qod was, as ever, con-
fiding and cheerful. He welcomed the approach of death as the
26 0BITVARIB8, C1879.
nearing dawn of eternal day, and as the morning broke and the
shadows fled away, his enraptured feelings were uttered in his
last words on earth, * Brighter and brighter.' He died January
16th, 1879, in the seyeniy-seyenth year of his age, and the
fifty-sixth of his ministry.
(16.) Samtjel Hoolet; who was bom at Draycot, near
Derby, in 1812, and died at Guildford on January 26th, 1879.
Giyen to the Lord by deyout parents, and brought early to the
sanctuary, he heard the Diyine Voice while he was yet a child,
and in his eighth year was receiyed into the Methodist Society.
This early deyotion gaye a tone to his life. After a youth
spent in lowly service, the Lord called him to the office and
work of a Christian pastor. His natural diffidence was over-
come by the love that constrained him, and during a ministry
of forty-four years, he served the Lord and the Church with
singleness of purpose and warmth of affection. His preaching
for the most part was expository, the words of the Lord Jesus
and the Epistles of St. Paul forming the substance of his
teaching. In his ministry he especially regarded the edification
of believers. Yet he was privileged in several Circuits to see
a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the unsaved. In
these seasons of revival physical weakness was forgotten, and
he was ready to spend and be spent for those who had not yet
his Saviour known. Mr. Hooley suffered much from a sensitive,
nervous temperament. In his experience there were depths as
well as heights, and occasionally the contemplation of the Divine
glor}% the holiness and majesty of God, so affected his spirit
that for days he humbled himself and wept before the Lord,
But these seasons of depression were followed by times of
special blessing, and thus he was able to comfort others
with the comfort wherewith he himself had been comforted of
God.
While Mr. Hooley was a man of wide intelligence and of
varied gifts, his chief characteristic was the * power to pray.'
Many of his hearers will remember the reverence, the confidence,
1879.] OBITVARim. 27
the intense desire, and the perfect submission which marked his
approach to the Throne of grace. Towards the close of life his
communion with G-od became more intimate, and prayer seemed
to be the native air of his spirit. His death, though sudden,
was tranquil. With no apprehension of danger, and apparently
without a struggle or a sigh, his spirit passed into the presence
of the Lord.
(17.) Edwabd Walker ; who was bom at Almondbury, near
Huddersfield, January 28th, 1800. Iteceiving an early religious
trainibg from a devoted Christian mother, he became in his
youth a partaker of the saving grace of God. Concerning thi^
period of his life, he was accustomed to speak of the profit he
derived from association with the late Eev. David Stoner, whom
he often accompanied to his appointments in the Huddersfield
Circuits. Mr, Walker was not a ' novice' in Christian doctrine
when he yielded to the Divine call to undertake the responsi-
bilities of the Christian pastorate. In the year 1826 he entered
upon the work of the Wesleyan-Methodist ministry, and for
forty years fulfilled its duties with unswerving fidelity and
success. He was warmly attached to our economy, and main-
tained it steadfastly, both as the Superintendent of Circuits,
Chairman of Districts, and Secretary of the Chapel Building
Committee. As a preacher, he was energetic and ifaithf ul, ex-
celling in clearly defining the essential points of Christian
truth, and in depicting the joys and graces of Christian experi-
ence. He continued in the things which he had learned, and
had been assured of, from the beginning, and was not readily
induced to walk in untried paths. As a pastor, he was always
diligent, and to the poor and suffering of the flock of Christ he
was gentle as a father. Towards his colleagues he was courteous
and confiding, frank, upright, and truly fraternal. By those of
them who survive him, their intercourse with him is held in
grateful remembrance. In 1866 he retired from the active
service of the Church, and passed the evening of his days at
Cheetham Hill, Manchester. He spent much time in visiting
2S OBlTVAltlES. ^ [1879.
the sick and dying, and his fervent prayers and godly exhorta-
tions were gratefully appreciated, and are fondly remembered.
When his last illness seized him, he was found ready. Shortly
before his death a friend who yisited him said, ' Dear Sir, the
presence of Jesus is here — ^His power, even His glory!' He
replied, ' I feel it to be so, and I bless G-od for it.' A heavenlj
light appeared upon his countenance, and soon afterwards he
bore his last testimony to the faithfulness of G-od, saying :
' I hang upon that good Gtxi who has succoured me all my life
long, and who always comforts and saves them that put their
trust in Him.' On his seventy-ninth birthday his pilgrimage
ended, and he entered in ' through the gates into the ciiy.'
(18.) WnJCJAH Tbaitteb ; who was bom in the parish of Litde
Dawley, near Madeley, Shropshire, May 1st, 1778. He was
converted to God when about nineteen years of age, through
the instrumentality of his friend, the Bev. Valentine Ward,
who took him to some religious meetings commenced in Dawley
by the followers of John Fletcher. A revival of religion ensued,
and a Methodist Class was formed, Mr. Ward and Mr. Tranter
being the first members. Mr. Tranter found peace through faith
in our Lord Jesus Christ at the first meeting. He gave him-
self fully to God, and his Christian principles were greatly
consolidated by intercourse with the saintly Mrs. Fletcher.
He attended her public services at every opportunity, and
her ministrations were greatly blessed to him. He was, more-
over, honoured with her friendship and wise counsels, which
he highly valued. He was also favoured, at a later period, with
the acquaintance of the devout Lady MaxweU, whom he visited
on her death-bed.
Mr. Tranter entered the ministry in 1803, and was for forty-
three years in its full work. He was eminently successful in
winning souls to Christ, and building up the Church of Gt)d in
the various Circuits in which he travelled. As a preacher, he
was plain, earnest, powerful, and impressive. He took ^reat
pains in preparing for the pulpit, and some of his published
1879.] OBITUARIES, 29
sermons possess considerable merit. As the Chairman of a
District, and as Superintendent of a Circuit, he was remarkable
for careful attention to all his duties ; and as a pastor, for
sympathy with the poor and needy of Christ's flock.
In 1846 Mr. Tranter became a Supernumerary, and settled
in the Salisbury Circuit, but he did not cease to work for Q-od
according to his ability. Both in the town and in the Tillages
around he contmued to preach until within a few years of the
close of his long and useful li£e. He was able to be present
at the District Meeting held in Salisbury two years ago, and
although very feeble (having entered on his hundredth year),
he spoke a few words with much feeling. It was only com-
paratively recently that the naturally vigorous mental and bodily
powers of this devoted servant of God failed ; and even then,
when visited by his ministerial brethren or Christian friends,
he would become wonderfully animated, manifesting a lively
interest in the cause he loved so well, and expressing his
unshaken faith in the great Atonement. A few days before
his death the language of Job was quoted to him, ^ I know that
my Bedeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day
upon the earth ; and though after my skin' ^here he took up
the words, 'worms destroy this body,' 'yet' was interposed,
and he added, ' in my flesh shall I see God.' He paused, and
then repeated with much emphasis, 'In my flesh shall I see God.'
When prayer was ofEered that an abundant entrance might be
granted ' into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ,' he added, with marked earnestness, 'Amen,
Amen I' During the following days he frequently repeated,
' Come, Lord Jesus ! ' On Sunday morning, February 9th, 1879,
he entered 'into the joy of his Lord,' in the one hundred and
first year of his age, and the seventy Hsixth of his ministry.
(19.) Samuel Beown (i.) ; who was born at Newcastle-
under-Lyme, on January 8th, 1811. He was the youngest son
of parents who were remarkable for native strength of character
and for prayerful consistency of life. His father was widely

known as a Local Preacher of great power, and his mother's
watchful care and holy example rescued her son at a critical
period from worldly entanglements. He was converted in a
gracious reyival at the age of seventeen, and soon after joined a
brother in business in Guernsey, where he became an ef&cient
Class Leader and Local Preacher. Under deep impressions,
produced during a dangerous illness, he returned to his birth-
place. He entered the ministry in 1835. Few men have been
more honoured of God in the conversion of sinners and in
advancing the interests of Christ's Church. He laboured for
souls night and day, often overtaxing his strength. His preaching
was churacterized by simplicity and power, and was peculiarly
adapted to quicken the lukewarm and lead to religious decision.
Unflinching in his adherence to duty, his ministerial influence
was enhanced by the purity of his life, and by his genial
temperament ; the poor especially finding in him a sympathizing
friend. Debarred from much social intercourse by partial deaf-
ness, he became an extensive reader, and gave himself to prayer,
in which he attained extraorfinarjr powe"
After three years spent as a Supernumerary he returned, in
1869, to the f uH work of the ministry, from which he finally re-
tired in 1877, settling at SwafQiam, his last Circuit. It pleased
God to complete the symmetry of His servant's character by the
discipline of suffering, under which he displayed uniform resigna-
tion; and though often needlessly reproaching himself for spiritual
imperfections, he had many returns of former joyous experience.
He came back to his native town a month before his decease. His
life of prayer had a fitting termination. The night of his death
he poured forth importunate and comprehensive supplications at
the family altar, concluding with the words, 'Lord, answer
prayer, and take me to Thyself.* The request was granted.
Eetiring to his room again to hold communion with his
Heavenly Father, he rose from his knees to receive the welcome
summons home. Gently, and in perfect peace, in a single hour
his life ebbed away. ' Christ is precious,' he exclaimed to his
wife ; adding, ' All is right.' He died February 19th, 1879,

the Methodist chapel, and so much profited by what he heard,
that at the age of fourteen he joined the Society. When sixteen
years of age he received the assurance of his adoption; and
about a year afterwards he began to preach. In 1831 he was
accepted as a candidate for the ministry. He laboured uninter-
ruptedly for forty years, and was * a good minister of Jesus Christ,
nourished up in the words of &ith and of good doctrine.' In 1871
increasing infirmities compelled him to become a Supernumerary.
He was a faithful and earnest preacher and pastor. Amid
the manifold claims of wide and laborious Circuits, by 're-
deeming the time ' he gave ' attendance to reading, to exhorta-
tion, to doctrine,' and was truly *a workman needing not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' TTia sermons
abounded with quaint sayings, and were ever set forth in/ ac-
ceptable words.' His delivery was grave and impressive, and
was accompanied by an unction of the Holy Qhoet, so that
under his ministry ' much people was added unto the Lord.'
His perseverance, prudence, and forbearance in the administra-
tion of the Circuits entrusted to his care are still gratefully
remembered. His punctuality was proverbial; while in self-
denial and hearty acquiescence in the will of God, he was ' an
example of the believers.' He specially cared for the poor, the
sick, and the dying, whom to the very last he daily visited at
their homes. On February 5th he was seized with iUness, from
which he never rallied. He soon expressed his conviction that
his work was done, and that the sickness was * unto death.' * If
I die suddenly,' said he, * do not be the least alarmed, it is all
right.' ' I have felt lately such a blessed ripening for heaven.'
Many times he repeated:
'Thou, Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find.*
On the day before his death he said, ^I have put myself

through the yalley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,"
and why? not because 1 have been a good Christian, but
because *^Thou art with me."' After great prostration and
suffering he calmly passed to rest with Hhem that sleep in
Jesus.'
(21.) Thomas JoirBS (a) ; who was bom at Glasbury, Brecon*
shire, in July 1803. He was converted to God in early life mainly
through the instrumentality of his mother, whose memory he ten-
derly cherished throughout his career. Galled of Gt)d to preach
the Gospel, he offered himself to the Conference of 1826, and
vnis sent into the Wellington (Salop) Circuit. Troubled with
doubt as to his call to the ministry, h*e was on the point of re-
turning home, when he met with a person who had been con-
verted through his preaching, and accepting this as a sign from
God, he returned, strengthened and comforted, to his work. In
all his Circuits, as in his first, he was honoured veith fruit of his
labours. In preaching he spoke to the heart, and his discourses
often produced remarkable effects upon his hearers. He v^as a
man of great simplicity and gentleness, loving and beloved. As
a pastor he was highly esteemed, and after he had retired from
active service was diligent and useful in visiting the flock of
Christ. At the Conference of 1867 he became a Supernumerary,
and settled at Lytham, where he resided imtil his death. During
the last few years of his life he was burdened with many of the
infirmities of age, but his mind continued singularly clear as to
spiritual things. He bore constant testimony to
* The greatness of redeeming love.
The love of Christ to me.*
After a brief period of unconsciousness he died in the Lord, on
Sunday, February 23rd, 1879, in the seventy-sixth year of his
age, and the fifty-third of his ministry.

(22.) WiLLiiJi Olivbb Booth ; who was born at Eccleshill,
near Bradford, Yorkshire, September 1st, 1801. His parents
trained him in godliness and in Methodism, and in earlj
life the Word was brought home to him, and the grace of
God changed his heart. He received muc^i instruction and
blessing from the venerable John Crosse, Vicar of Bradford
with whom he was brought into contact when only nine
years of age. His intelligence and fervour of spirit seemed
to others to mark him out for the Christian ministry, and
the impression was wrought also upon his own mind, so
that at seventeen years of age he began to exhort and preach.
After being some years engaged in tuition, he was accepted
by the Conference in 1824, and for forty-one years exer-
cised a laborious, earnest, and highly successful ministry in
many of the leading Circuits of the Connexion. His sermons
were well studied, ftdl of evangelical theology, and brought
home to the consciences of his hearers in mighty and loving
appeal. He lived and preached for souls, and the Lord honoured
him with many spiritual children. Especially in his earlier
years Mr. Booth declared the Gospel with forceful and effective
eloquence, combined with an admirably adapted elocution.
His love for the young was intense, and his labour for their
welfare incessant. He felt it no burden, but a joy. His loving
spirit attracted their confidence. They saw that he loved them,
and repaid him heartily in kind. This geniality of spirit was
characteristic of him in all his intercourse, both with his brethren
and with the people of his charge, and few men amongst us
have made and retained a larger number of attached friends.
He was well acquainted with the discipline of Methodism, and
was a faithful administrator of it, doing every part of his work
with conscientious and cheerful diligence. As a colleague, he
was trusty and beloved, free from small jealousies, aud of stain-
less honour. His power in prayer was remarkable; the grace of
supplication was given to him in large measure, and he often
seemed, in leading the devotions of a congregation, to have a
cle^r vision of the throne. In August, 1831, he met \s ith a

(23.) Chables Louis Sittcxiffe ; who was bom in the
Sowerby-Bridge Ciicoit on July 18th, 1845. Trained in a Chris-
tian home, he knew from childhood the value and importance
of spiritual life. His decision for Christ was nevertheless
delayed until his nineteenth year, when, at Scarborough, the
combined influences of pulpit ministrations, the reading of
Baxter's Sainfs BeHj and a few kindly words from the Bev.
J. A. Macdonald, led him, in the spring of 1864, to choose the
service of the Saviour. The earnest desire for personal conse-
cration, which prompted his penitent ciy, * Lord, what wilt
Thou have me to do ?' never faltered. After a night, for the
most part spent in prayer, he received the assurance of his
adoption, and at once gave himself to such work as his hand
found to do. In 1866 he entered the ranks of the ministry, and,
with varying physical strength, laboured for five years. Then
he refrained for two years, essayed once more to do the work

he so much loved, an^ again was stricken down. Hjb finally
retired in 1875.
His pulpit-ministrations were richly evangelical, and glowed
with the fervour of an earnest and sanctified life. His pastoral
and social converse was kindly, sympathetic, and inslructive.
When failure of strength prevented further public service, his
own house, at first in Birmingham and afterwards in Sidmouth,
became a gathering-place for Bible-reading, Bible-classes, and
Socieiy-classes, which were occasions of much blessing to many.
When these could be continued no longer, in weariness and
with exemplary patience he waited as a child ' for the longed-
for home-bringing and the Father's welcome smiles.' He slept
in Jesus on March 25th, 1879, at Sidmouth, being in the thirty-
fourth year of his age, and the thirteenth of his ministry.
(24.) Geobge Eussell ; who was bom in Exeter in 1813. He
was the son of a Wesleyan-Methodist minister. He was con-
verted to G-od in his youth. Having for some time held success-
fully the office of Local Preacher, he was ultimately led to devote
his life to the ministry of the Gk)spel. He was first appointed to
the Leamington Circuit ; and for a period of forty-one years he
rendered good service to the Circuits in which he travelled.
His preaching was sound, evangelical, and successful. His
words are still cherished by many whose youthful piety rewarded
his efforts.
Wherever he travelled, he is remembered as a kind, judicious,
and spiritual pastor. God gave him many souls in the ordinary
course of his ministry. A few young men, encouraged by him
to enter upon the same work, have vindicated his judgment
and revere his memory. His sudden decease came in the midst
of honour and peace.
In the village of Swadlincote, to which he retired at the Con-
ference of 1878, he won the confidence and affection of the
people by his visits, his prayers, and his preaching. He peace-
fully passed away to his heavenly rest, on Friday, April 25th,

(26.) William Davis Ttack ; who was bom at Cambome on
May 26th, 1822, where he was brought to Q-od when near
seventeen years of age. Two years afterwards he became a Local
Preacher. In 1845 he was accepted as a candidate for the
ministry, and after three years at the Didsbury Institution, was
appointed to a Circuit at the Conference of 1848. More than
half of his ministry was exercised in the neighbourhood of the
town of his birth, three years in that town itself, and other periods
in London, Leeds, and other important places. His ministry of
the Word was earnest, experimental, scriptural, and accompanied
by the unction of the Holy Ghost. The spiritually-minded of
his congregations greatly prized his warm-hearted preaching of
Christ and Him crucified, and bis feeling testimony to the
ability of ' God our Saviour ' to present us faultless in the pre-
sence of His glory *with exceeding joy.' He was a devoted and
faithful minister of Christ. The purity and simplicity of his
character and his amiable temper made him to be most beloved
where most intimately known. He realized the fulness of the
blessings of the Gospel of Christ, and freely, though modestly,
testified to the closeness of his communion with God, his vivid
enjoyment of religion, and his abounding hope. His was a
saintly spirit, and among good men he was distinguished for his
goodness. The vigour of his &iith and his abounding peace
were maintained by careful Bible-reading, frequent meditation,
and habitual prayer. In social life he was a man of refined
tastes and gentle bearing. His conversation and demeanour
manifested deep religious thought and feeling. He lived as
in the Master's presence.
An illness at Leeds in 1865, and another at City Boad, London,
in 1872, were discipline by which the Master taught him to be
willing * to be laid aside for Him, or to work for Him.' From the
latter period he was not physically vigorous; but he wrought as
one who never lost heart, and who would never bate one jot of
- work that he could do, often preaching when wise counsellors
would have had him rest. He continued with diligence and the
* full assurance of hope unto the end/ When speaking of death he

would say that ' it was but passing from the lower to the upper
temple, as we pass from one room to another/ The late severe
winter sorely tried him; and, after accepting the unanimous
invitation of the Waterloo Quarterly Meeting to continue in the
Circuit a third year, he was seized with a severe attack of bron-
chitis, from which he suffered for several weeks. Afterwards
he seemed to be gaining strength, and on the day of his death
he conducted family worship in the evening for the first time
since the attack. During the day his spirit seemed richly
brightened by the coming light. He wrote to a friend, * I am
in the Lord's hands : He is very, very gracious to me, and I
desire to do and suffer His will acceptably.' After retiring to
rest he complained of being ill ; this sense of illness was occa-
sioned by disease of the heart. For twenty minutes from the
first seizure he laid his head upon the pillow and then fell asleep
in Jesus, on Tuesday, May 6th, 1879, in the fifty-seventh year of
his age, and the thirty-second of his ministry. * The law of
truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips :
he walked with Me in peace and equity, and did turn many away
from iniquity.'
(26.) Thomas Hammokb ; who was born at Kingsley Moor,
near Cheadle, North Staffordshire, May 26th, 1851. He had
the advantage of a Christian home and a Methodist training.
Whilst still a boy he became a member of Society, and was
led to trust in Christ as his Saviour. In his business homes
he * professed a good profession before many witnesses.' He
became a candidate for the ministry at nineteen years of age.
He was accepted by the Conference and sent to the Richmond
Institution, where he spent two years in happy preparation for
his life's work. His first appoiutment was to Eheims. From
Eheims he went to Barbados, but his health failing, he was
compelled to return to England. Although only a short time
in the Mission-field, he was spoken of as ' the gifted and good
Missionary.' His first and last English Circuit was West
Bromwich. His gentlemanly demeanour, his Christian spirit,

his care for the poor, of whom he gathered more than a hundred
into classes for religious instruction on Saturday afternoons, as
well as his lucid expositions of the Word of God, and earnest
ministry, endeared him to the people. In his illness he was
often delirious ; but when conscious he exulted in Christ. He
said, ' Jesus ia worth more to me than ever before.' One of his
last requests was, that those near him would sing ' Safe in the
arms of Jesus.' He passed away to be with Christ on May
6th, 1879, in the twenty-eighth year of his age, and the sixth
of his ministry.
(27.) WiLLiAK Cbookes ; who was bom at Barlborough, in
the county of Derby, January 18th, 1803. When about seven-
teen years of age, during a season of reyival, he became deeply
concerned about his spiritual state, and after earnestly seeking
the Lord for some months he was enabled to believe in Christ.
Soon afterwards he began to preach ; and, having been duly
recommended, was accepted as a probationer by the Conference
of 1825. Preferring the Foreign Missionary Work, he was
appointed, in 1827, to Jamaica, where he laboured successfully
for eleven years, when failing health compelled him to return
to this country. For upwards of thirty years he exercised his
ministry efficiently in various English Circuits, until, in 1871,
he became a Supernumerary. After spending some years at
Merthyr-Tydvil he removed to the Chesterfield Circuit, from
which he had entered on the work of the ministry, and in
which he had been subsequently stationed. Here, after a
period of much physical weakness, he finished his course.
Mr. Crookes was a man of strong mind and of considerable
information. He was a clear, vigorous, and useful preacher.
He possessed a natural cheerfulness and humour, which fre-
quently enlivened his discourses, and was often of much value
in the conduct of difficult Church-business. His last days on
earth were spent in prayer and praise. He died triumphantly
at Old Whittington, on May 9th, 1879, in the seventy-seventh
year of his age, and the fifty-fourth of his ministry.

(28.) William Habvie ; who was born iu Glasgow, ia 1794.
He sought and obtained salvation in his youth, and for a
long term of years adorned the doctrine of God his Saviour
by strict consistency of conduct. In 1825 he entered the
Wesleyan-Methodist ministry, and was appointed to the Appleby
Circuit. After labouring with fidelity and zeal in several Cir-
cuits for a quarter of a century, he became a Supernumerary
in 1850. In comparative retirement, he continued, both as
a preacher and as a Class-leader, to embrace every opportunity
of doing good, and of helping the cause of Christ. His preach-
ing was thoughtful and instructive, clear, pointed, and evan-
gelical.
He excelled in pastoral work, being most exemplary in his
attention to the young, and in his visitation of the sick and
the poor of Christ's flock. His last illness was protracted
and distressing. He was, however, sustained by the power of
that Gospel which he had preached. The Lord mercifully
preserved him from all doubts and fears. When asked if Christ
was still near to him, he answered, * He is always with me, and
I am always with Him.' His last words were, 'Perfect peace ;
perfect holiness.' He died at Kilkhampton on May 19th, 1879,
in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and the fifty-fourth of his
ministry.
(29.) John Wesley Button; who was bom at Gainsborough,
March 28th, 1798. The exact date of his conversion is not
known, but he very early began to exercise his talents in th«
Church as a Sunday-school Teacher, Local Preacher, etc. In
1820 he was sent to the Shaftesbury Circuit as a supply for
his father, whose health was failing. The following year he
went to Witney, the first appointment given to him by Con-
ference. In 1846 he was sent to Oxford, and in 1847 was
made Chairman of the District. He laboured with great
acceptance and usefulness in various important Circuits till
1850, when a severe illness completely broke down his health,
and he was compelled to become a Supernumerary. In his
40 OilttTARlM^ tl8?9.
retirement he would Dot altogether give up his much-loved
employment, but preached as hi? strength permitted. He
was a good preacher, and stood high in the estimation of
his brethren. He was tiioroughly attached to our discipline,
and his fidelity to it in times of trouble had much to do
with the serious los? of health which led to his retirement
from the full work of the ministry. His last illness —
acute bronchitis — ^was of short duration. He peacefully passed
away to his rest, May 26th, 1879, in the eighty-first year of
his age.
(30.) Chables Enwix Lefeaux; who was bom in South
Wales, May 6th, 1850. He was descended from a French famOy,
which fled to this country on the Eevocation of the Edict of
Nantes. He was converted to God while at school, where a
Christian master did much to direct his studies into a right
channel, and to trai^ him for a life of usefulness. His amiable
and affectionate disposition, his courteous manners, his strict
conscientiousness, made him, both as a scholar and as a teacher,
beloved and trusted by all who knew him. These qualities
continued to characterize him to the end of his days. He was
a zealous man, passionately attached to his work, to which
he devoted all his powers. He laboured with acceptance and
success in several Circuits. In 1876 he was appointed to
Dover, where he had special charge of the garrison, and en-
deared himself to the men. Here, on June 27th, 1879, he was
called suddenly to exchange the field of toil for the home of rest.
(31.) Ain)BSw Kesbex, LL.D. ; who was bom in Glasgow in
1814, and was educated at the University of that city, where he
took his degree. The son of a Minister of the Established
Church of Scotland, in early life his heart was touched under
the first Methodist sermon he heard, and from that time he became
firmly attached to our Body. At the age of fifteen he began to
exhort; and, becoming a Local Preacher, soon offered himself as
n candidate for our Foreign Mission work. He acquired the
1§?9.] OMTUARltiS, 41
knowledge of several languages, ancient and modern, and was
a good mathematician. He devoted all his attainments to the
Mission cause. He was permitted by the Committee of the
Missionary Society to serve the Q-ovemment of Ceylon for
fifteen years as Principal of the Normal Training Institution in
Colombo for Native Christian Schoolmasters. He was emi-
nently fitted for such work by his scholarly attainments, by his
natural gift of teaching, and by the deep interest he always felt
in young men. On his return to England he devoted several
years to the training of Missionary students.
In the midst of his educational work, both abroad and at
home, he loved to preach the Word ; his sermons were carefully
prepared, and marked by fervour of spirit, simplicity of language,
and a very practical aim. His pastoral labours were unwearied ;
his unassuming kindness made him a true friend to the poor, and
his genial disposition won the love of all. His life was scrupu-
lously pure and upright, and his excellences were enhanced by
his habitual modesty. His piety was beautiful in its unaffected
meekness, its implicit trustfulness, and its ardent catholicity.
His activity was quiet and incessant ; he was a very early riser,
and to the end of his life he spent six hours daily in study.
He cherished the hope of returning to active service, notwith-
standing his enfeebled health. On a visit to Jersey he was
attacked with dysentery, and after a few hours' illness he
sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, on July 19th, 1879, in the sixty-
fifth year of his age, and the thirty-ninth of his ministry.

study of the Scriptures, he sought and foimd peace with God.
Shortly afterwards he joined the Wesleyan-Methodist Society.
He had the happiness to be at Wesley College, Sheffield, while
Dr. Waddy was Governor, and under his guidance he began
to preach. He entered the ministry in 1864. He was a
good and acceptable preacher. His pulpit-ministrations were
marked by a spirit habitually devout, and by solemn earnest-

(1.) BoBERT WiuoH; who was bom at B^iysoc^op, in tiie
Charlemont Circuit, in the jear 1802. From early childhood
he was the subject of the strivings of the Hoi j Spirit, and at
the age of seventeen he was savingly converted to Gk)d. Being
then a member of Society, and from a child knowing the Holy
Scriptures, he was soon appointed to the important office of
Class Leader, the duties of which he filled with seal and useful-
ness. Subsequently he was appointed a Local Preacher, and
entered upon this work with much fear and trembling, feeling
his insufficiency ; but his profiting soon appeared, and a wide
door of usefulness opened before him in his own country,
where the Lord blessed his labours in the conversion of many
sinners. In the year 1828 he was accepted as a candidate for
the ministry, and was appointed to the Lisbum Mission, in
which he spent a happy year, and was cheered by the salvation
of souls,' and the kindness of a loving, praying people. For
forty-two years he laboured &itlifully in the word and doctrine,
and he was favoured with several extensive revivals of the work
of G-od, in which hundreds of sinners were turned ' from dark-
ness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God/ He

carefully and perseveringly studied the Word of God in the
Hebrew and Greek languages, and wrote many valuable articles
on Biblical criticism and other useful subjects for the Primitive
Wesley an-Methodist Magazine, His sermons were lucid and
forcible expositions of divine truth, which, by the power of
the Holy Spirit, reached the hearts and consciences of his
hearers.
He was an upright, faithful man, who * feared God above
many'; ardently attached to the doctrines, discipline, and
economy of Methodism, but a lover of good men of every
denomination. He punctually and faithfully attended to all
the duties of an Itinerant preacher. Visiting from house to
house, meeting Classes, and holding Prayer-meetings to promote
revivals, were his delight. As Superintendent of a Oircuit, and
Chairman, of a District, he m as cautious, kind, patient*, and firm ;
as a Christian he was humble, devoted, and unselfish ; possessing
a highly cultivated mind, he was at the same time retiring and
unobtrusive. After he became a Supernumerary in 1870, he
still persevered, according to his ability, and often beyond his
strength, to labour for the salvation of souls and the glory of
his Lord and Master. His death, which was sudden, took place
in Banbridge on the morning of July 12th, 1878, when he fell
asleep in Jesus, in the seventy-sixth year of his age, and the
forty-eighth of his ministry.
(2.) JoHK Saul, P.D. ; who was bom near Dromore, in the
Co. Down, on July 26th, 1795, and finished his course with joy
near Manchester, on the 11th of October, 1878. His parents
being members of the then Established Church, he was brought
up in its communion ; and before his conversion was upright
and moral in his external conduct. Slowly, but surely and
clearly, did the doctrine of salvation by grace throu^ faith
reach his understanding and heart. At length, having believed
on the Son of God with the heart uifto righteousness, he
realized the blessed experience that there was ' no condemnation '
to him, being ^ in Christ Jesus,' and the Spirit itself bore witness
44 omTtrAMiJsa. [1879.
^ iih his spirit that he was a child of God. Constrained by the
love of Christ, he sought first to bring the members of his own
family to the Saviour, and soon after engaged in efforts of more
extensive usefulness, going from village to village, and preaching
' the glorious GU>spel of the blessed G-od.' Not did he labour in
vain, for many * believed, and turned unto the Lord.' Believing
that God had called him to the work and office of the Christian
ministry, he offered himself as a candidate to the Wesleyan-
Methodist Conference in the year 1826, and was accepted.
Having actively and faithfully laboured in the word and doctrine
for the long period of forty-two years, and having also served the
Connexion as Treasurer of the Children's Fund, he became a
Supernumerary in 1868, after which, by permission of the Irish
Conference, he resided in England.
As a preacher, he was a faithful expounder of God's Word,
which he applied with affectionate earnestness to the consciences
of his hearers. Being deeply impressed with the absolute
necessity of every man knowing his sins forgiven, and being
born again of the Spirit, he made it a practice in every sermon
to point out the way of faith. To such preaching Otod affixed
the seal of His gracious approval, and gave testimony to the
word of His grace, in the salvation of sinners from the guilt
and power of sin, and in the edification of believers. In his
pastoral duties, by genuine sympathy and kind attention, he
endeared himself to the members of his flock in his various
Circuits. He so walked before his family, that each member of
it saw in his example that religion was a reality, and that its
possession was a blessed privilege : so that almost all his children
were converted when young, and now instead of the father are
the children, as three of his sons are ministers of the Methodist
Church.
For fifty years he was a diligent student of the "Word of God
in its original languages. He took special interest in the Syriac
version, to the study of which he devoted a large portion of the
concluding years of his life. He enjoyed in tranquil retirement
for ten years the calm eventide of life, rejoicing in the labours

of others, and ever willing to serve the Master as opportunity
and strength allowed. No doubt clouded the glorious prospects
which presented themselves to his enraptured vision, no fear
disturbed the peace that reigned in his soul.
After an experience of sixty years, he bore with his latest
breath, in addressing his eldest daughter, this memorable tes-
timony to the preciousness and faithfulness of Christ — ' Best
all your hope in Christ. He is the only Saviour ; He can save
to the uttermost ; He saves me, blessed be His holy name ;' and
when he had thus said, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the ei hty-

Enniskillen. When a young man he was convinced of sin and
of his need of salvation, by the instrumentality of the Methodist
preachers who visited the neighbourhood where he lived. For
a considerable time he sought the Lord with deep sorrow of
heart, grieved for having grieved his Lord. He joined a Class-
meeting, which he found to be a means of grace to his anxious
soul, and, through the mercy of God, he was enabled to * believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ,' and was justified by His grace.
Having * received the Spirit of adoption,' he went on his way
rejoicing, telling his friends and neighbours what the Lord had
done for his soul. For some years he filled the offices of Class
Leader and Local Preacher, and was made a blessing to many.
He was then encouraged to offer himself as a candidate for the
Methodist ministry ; and being approved of, was appointed to
a Circuit by the Primitive Wesleyan-Methodist Conference in the
year 1825. For more than forty years he actively discharged the
duties of an Itinerant preacher on several of the most extensive
Circuits, with much acceptance and usefulness. He possessed
a sound judgment, was regular and conscientious in fulfilling his
appointments, as he considered it unbecoming an ambassador of
Christ to disappoint a congregation or a family. His sermons
were plain, persuasive, impressive, and practical, aboimding
with appropriate (juotfitio»s of the Word of God, and were

easily remembered. He generally travelled on Northern Sta-
tions, and witnessed many gracious revivals of religion. He
was a faithful, wise, and sympathetic friend. He was very suc-
cessful in securing funds for Circuit-purposes, for the poor, for
the erection of preaching-houses and ministers' residences, and
also for augmenting the Superannuation and Missionary Funds.
When he was placed on the Supernumerary list, he was will-
ing to work to the best of his ability, and always maintained an
unblemished character. For a considerable time his sufferings
were great, but, having a good hope through grace, he was
enabled to 'reckon that the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be
revealed.' A short time before his death he said, 'I have
nothing to fear, my work is done, and there is laid up for me
a crown of life.' He fell asleep in Christ, on February 13th,
1879, aged eighty-two years, in the fifty-fourth year of his
ministry.
(4.) BoBBBT GiBSOK JoNES ; who was bom at Enogh, near
Dromore, in the County of Down, on December Ist, 1817.
£[is first religious impressions were received from the example
and training of a devoted mother; but it was through the
preaching of the late venerable John Nelson that he was led
to complete decision for Christ. At once he joined the Metho-
dist Church, and in due course became a Class Leader and
Local Preacher. "Wholly consecrated to Christ, he had but
one ambition, — ^to spend and to be spent in the service of his
blessed Master, — ^and there was now no doubt as to what his
future course should be. From the hour of his conversion he
felt a burning desire to devote all his time and energy to the
work of the Christian ministry in the Church of his choice.
Having passed the usual examinations, he was accepted in
the year 1840 as a candidate for the ministry, {^nd appointed
to the Armagh Circuit, where for a period of two years, he
laboured with extraordinary zeal and success. His subsequent
ministry was exercised with great acceptance in several of tho
1879.] OBITUARIES. 47
leading Circuits of the Connexion. He filled, with credit and
advantage, many of the most important offices in the Church.
As a friend, he was true and generous ; as a preacher, earnest
and eloquent; as a pastor, diligent and painstaking; as the Super-
intendent of a Circuit, judicious and faithful; as the Chair-
man of a District, wise and cautious. Towards his colleagues
he manifested all the afEability of a brother, with all the care
and tenderness of & father. In the domestic and social circles
he was the very embodiment of amiability and gentleness. He
was a wise counsellor and a judicious administrator, and his
memory will long be cherished.
During the last year of his active ministry, when in the
Ormeau £oad Circuit, Belfast, the symptoms of his final illness
first presented themselves. His affliction, extending over a
period of some two years, was borne with true Christian forti-
tude, and his sayings towards the close of his illness evinced
calm submission to the Divine wiU, and unshaken confidence in
God. ' I had hoped,' he said, * to be at my post by next Con-
ference, but, I suppose, this is my post now.' 'Christ is
precious, very precious ; I have constant intercourse, with Him
night and day. I would have desired to work a little longer
for the Master. I think I could now set eternal things in a
clearer light before the people.' As the end approadied he
exclaimed, ' I never had such a grasp of Qod as I have now,
I have no fear of death, I am calmly resting on the Bock of
Ages.'
He died on April 28th, 1879, in the sixty-second year of his
age, and the thirty-ninth of his ministry.
(5.) BoBEBT CA3iPB£LL; who was bom near Fortadown.
He was converted in early life through the instrumentality of
Methodism, and became a devoted follower of the Saviour.
His zeal in the cause of Christ soon marked him out as intended
by the great Head of the Church for a wider sphere of useful-
ness. In the year 1836 he was received as a candidate for the
Methodist ministry. He was stationed on some of the most
48 OBITUARIES. [1879.
laborious Circuits of the Connexion, and in several instances his
ministry was greatly, owned of Qod in extensiye revivals of
religion. As a preacher, he was earnest and practical, and he
delighted in upholding the doctrines of Methodism. He loved
his work, and was most reluctant to retire from its active duties.
The closing years of his life were spent in comparative retire-
ment ; yet when health permitted, he cheerfully assisted in the
services of the sanctuary. Failing health and wasting strength
induced in his case severe and frequent attacks of mental de-
pression ; but as the end drew near the shadows lessened, and
in the ' evening-time ' there was ' light.* When asked regard-
ing his confidence in the Bedeemer, he replied, ' I am clinging
to the Sock.' On another occasion he said, * He who has been
with me during the past will not now forsake me.' He died in
peace at Clones, on May 18th, 1879, in the seventieth year of
his age, and the forty-third of his ministry.
(6.) Joseph M,Coiimack ; who was a native of Smithborough,
in the county Monaghan. In early life he had the privilege of
hearing the Methodist preachers who travelled on the Clones
Circuit. Though naturally of a very lively disposition, the
power of the G-ospel subdued his heart, and brought him to the
feet of Christ as an humble penitent. He sought the Lord
with strong crying and tears. For a long time he walked in
darkness, but ultimately Hhe Sun of Eighteousness ' arose
upon him ' with healing in His wings.' He was made a par-
taker of saving grace, and was filled 'with joy and peace
in believing.' Shortly afterwards he joined the late Eev. J. P.
Hetherington, who was then a young man, in holding Prayer-
meetings in the neighbourhood where they lived, and the Lord
graciously blessed their united endeavours in the conversion
of sinners.
In the year 1817 he was appointed by the Primitive "Wes-
leyan-Methodist Conference to the Charlemont Circuit, where
the Lord poured out His Spirit in a remarkable manner ; hun-
dreds were awakened, and many converted, amongst whom
1879.] OBITUARIJB& 49
were several who afterwards became Ministers in the Primitiye
Wesleyan-Methodist Society, whose labours were also greatly
acknowledged of Gkxi in the salvation of souls. Daring his
ministry on several stations in Ulster, Leinster, and Gonnaughty
he saw manifestations of Divine power in turning ' sinners from
darkness to light ; ' and in each of those provinces he was the
instrument, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, in the
conversion of young men, who subsequently became able minis-*
ters of the New Testament. Two of these— John Stephenson
and Samuel Larminie — ^were successful missionaries, who
preached the unsearchable riches of Christ, in the Irish lan-
guage, to an Irish-speaking people, not a few of whom felt it
to be the power of God in saving them from double darkness
into the light and liberty of the children of God.
For more than fifty years he discharged the duties of an
Itinerant Methodist preacher with much fidelity and acceptance,
and filled the offices of Chairman of District, and Secretary and
President of the Primitive Wesleyan-Methodist Conference,
his brethren having elected him to the latter office on three
different occasions.
In the early part of his ministry his work was very laborious,
and in innumerable instances unpleasant to flesh and blood ; but
he endured ' hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ,' 'for he
had respect unto the recompense of the reward.* He was
blessed with a vigorous constitution, and possessed a cheerful
and amiable disposition, combined with much firmness of
purpose. He was a steady and faithful friend, a kind and
afEectionate husband and father, and an agreeable companion.
As a Christian and a minister of the Gospel he was sincere and
conscientious, willing to perform any work to which he was
appointed, without consulting his own ease or self-gratification
— * Integrity and uprightness ' preserved him.
He possessed an extensive knowledge of the Holy Scriptures,
and of the writings of Mr. Wesley and other eminent divines ;
and was firmly attached to the doctrines, discipline, and economy
of Methodism, and also a lover of the Irish Episcopal Church.

(1.) Joseph Jagkbok (a) ; who was bom at Bagnall, Nothing--
liamshire. He was converted in his eighteenth jear, and not long
after began to preach. In 1834 he entered the ministry, and
"Vi^as sent for a short time to the Walsingham Circuit, where
a revival took place under his preaching. He was appointed
the year foUowing to Namaqualand, to labour chiefly among the
Hottentots, and resided there on different stations for fourteen
years. He learnt to preach to the coloured people in the Dutch
language with fluency and effect. He taught the, Hottentots
varioua industrial arts, and was instrumental in leading many
of them to Christ. His health having failed at the Cape, he
went to Natal in 1851, living, for the most part, on a retired
^arm ; but on two or three occasions he was placed in temporary
charge of a mission-station. His mind was vigorous, his preach-
ing forcible and effective, and he was valued as a pastor.
During the latter years of his life, his trials were numerous and
severe. His last illness was protracted. Shortly before the
end came, he declared himself to be on the Bock. He died
peacefully at Pietermaritzberg, on September 3rd, 1878, in
the seventieth year of his age, and in the forty-fifth of his
ministry.
(2.) Samuel Habdet was born at Barrow, in Lincolnshire,
December 10th, 1805. He came of a family several of whose
members have rendered good service to Methodism. At the
age of thirteen he joined the Church, and in his seventeentli
year became a Local Preacher. Having been recommended
to the Conference of 1827, he was sent as a missionary
to Madras, where he gave himself untiringly to the 'ac-i
qXiisition of the native tongue. In 1834 he retuimed to
England and rendered valuable serviee to MethodiKiii^Icimrij]^
one of its most.- trying periods, for which he reoeiVei this
thanks of the Conference. He again returned to Madras in
1836. After some years of labour he was attacked by fever,
and compelled again to leave his work. He returned to labour
at Brighton, and Barton-on-Humber ; but he was a Missionarr,
and as soon as he had recovered his health, he went back
to Madras, where he laboured nmtil failing health compelled
him to leave the work so dear to him. Embarking for Australia
by way of the Cape, he took a severe cold at Point-de-Gallo,
and was landed at Mauritius apparently to die. He wcs
wonderfully restored, and gave himself to the spiritual interests
of the Hindoo coolies, whom he found there in great numbers.
After spending seven years in Western Australia, he was tp-
pointed to South Africa, and entrusted witb the superintendence
of the Cape Town Circuit, and of the Cape of Good Hopo
District, and laboured witli great devotion luitil death terminahul
his hallowed toil.
In public and private he aimed to become the servant of all
* for Christ's sake.' His time and talents were cheerfully devoted
to the welfare of others. The poor and needy, the sick and the
afflicted, found in him a faithful friend. Blameless in his ov^n
conduct, he was ever gentle in dealing with the failings of
others. As a pastor, he watched over the flock as one who
must give an account. He enjoyed the confidence of his brethren,
and was universally esteemed as a good man. Ho proclaimed
in simplicity the doctrines that have consoled generations c f
men in the past, and console them still. He was never spccuhi-
tive ; and in the days of controversy and wavering, he held firmly
the great truths of the faith which he not only pre.iclud, bi t
lived. His last moments were supremely peaceful. ' I die,* ho
said, * in the faith in which I have lived for half a century.' To
the end he manifested great solicitude for the salvation of olheir.
As he approached the grave, it became evident that heaven came
nearer to him. Some little time before death, he desired the o
witb him to sing 'Safe in the arms of Jems.' *Sing lo me/

he said, and died. Thus entered into rest one of Christ's most
deyotod servants, on September 18th, 1878, in the seyentjr-
third year of his age. ' He being dead yet speaketh.'
(3.) William D. Jokss. He was conyerted to God in earlj
Uf e, and when about seventeen years of age began his labours as
a Local Preacher. His health failing, he visited Australia. Be-
turning to England, he ofEered himself for our ministry, but his
health again failing, he went to South Africa with strong re-
commendations from home. He was appointed to the Queens-
town District, and for three years fulillled his ministry with
great acceptance. He was of more than average abili^, and
won the respect and love of his people by his earnest and faith-
ful ministrations and by his blameless life. His influence among
the families of our people was very blessed. He was not afraid
to die. After two months' illness he calmly fell asleep on
November 1st, 1878, in the twenty-sixth year of his age, and
the fourth of his ministry.
(4.) Hbitet Lamb ; who died at Bathurst, St. Mary's Island,
November 23rd, 1878. After spending nearly two years at
the Bichmond Listitution he was appointed to McCarthy's
Island and Mission to the Interior, Gambia, Western Africa,
at the Conference of 1876. Owing to changes in the Missions
already established on the coast, he remained as the pastor of
the Anglo-African Church at St. Mary's Island, and was there-
fore never able to visit the scene of his intended labours. This
arrangement proved providential, for his preaching abilities and
kindliness of disposition fitted him rather for the work of a
pastor than for that of a pioneer missionary. He was a faith-
ful, laborious, and loving colleague, and is sincerely mourned
by the few workers he has left behind, and by the members of
the Church and community in which he laboured.
Having successfully battled with numerous attacks of fever,
he was getting thoroughly acclimatized, and there was every
hope that he would long be spared to be a blessing wherever
1879.] OJilTUARIES, 53
his lot might be cast. After he had suffered for about three
days from fever, congestion of the lungs supervened, and after
having testified that he was at peace with Gk)d, he was called
to his reward. He died in the third jear of his ministrj.
(5.) Eluah Bew was born a Newbury on July 29th,
1847. His parents and friends were pious, and they, by example
and precept, exerted a beneficial influence upon him. In 1861,
at a Prayer-meeting after a sermon by the Bev. S. P. Balch,
he sought mercy and believed in Chrll^t. Not having such help
as converts need, and failing to meet in Glass at once, he did
not make progress or retain the blessings he had gained, but
declined and becaiue careless. In February, 1868, he regained
the Divine favour ; and profiting by former loss, he at once
began to meet in Class, and made progress in the spiritual life.
In 1866 he began to preach, and was afterwards led to offer
himself for the Wesleyan-Methcdist ministry. He went to
the Bichmond Institution in September, 1871, and there spent
three happy years to profit. In 1874 he was appointed to Free
Town, Western Africa, where he laboured two years amidst
much inconvenience. He oft jn felt in preaching that he was in
bis right place, and was very happy in his work. He lamented
at times that he had not the fruit of his labours which he desired ;
but he was grateful for the evidences he had that God owned
and blessed his efforts.
He was driven from service in Western Africa by fever.
After a visit to England and restoration to health, he arrived,
early in 1878, at the Diamond Fields, South Africa. His year
of service there was trying and difficult, and did not yield com-
fort. In commencing the second, he resolved to devote himself
entirely to his work, and he was full of hope for a prosperous
year. After preaching on two Sabbaths, February 16th and
23rd, he was laid aside by fever. At the commencement of his
afiliction, he mourned over his unfaithfulness, and craved mercy
and blessing. He much desired to be at his work, but felt
jissiired that Christ's cause woiJd not suffer by hii? being laid

aside. He citing to Christ alone, and knew he was safe. On
March 26th the Lord gave to him special blessing. He said,
* I am now very happy : I never was so happy in my life. My
sins are all washed away by the blood of Christ. " For to me to
live is Christ, and to die is gain." I do not wish to die ; I do
not want to go away from you : but O ! how happy I am ! Christ
is precioiLs ! Hallelujah ! Praise the Lord !' On the next day,
after receiving the sacrament, he said, *I am peaceful^ I have
full assurance.' On the 28th he appeared to be rapidly sinking.
He was quite happy, and said very slowly, but with great dis-
tinctness : * I trust in Jesus. He bore my sins in His own body
on the tree. I leave myself whoUy with BQm.' Afterwards he
said : ' Jesus saves me ; He makes me all right. I am starting
on a new journey ; it will soon be over.* In this peaceful state
he met his last enemy. Not a struggle or a sigh marked his
last moments. At five p.m. on Saturday, March 29th, 1879,
just two months after his marriage, he departed this life, in the
thirty-second year of his age, and the sixth of his ministry—
* to be with Christ ; which is far better.'
((}.) Paul Hojdkkjo; who was brought {o God through the
labours of our earlier Missionaries in Ceylon, and, after having
given proof of his call to the work in various subordinate de-
partments of our Mission, he entered the ministry in 1850. He
excelled, as the result of long and arduous study, in knowledge
of Buddhism. This was a great advantage in his efforts to bring
the heathen to Christ. In his personal religion, his family rela-
.tionships, and his ministry, he was faithful to Christ. He was
loyal to Methodism, and full of love for the cause of Missions.
He died in Colombo, June 6th, 1879, aged sixty-two years.
(7.) William DowsoN; who was bom at Middleton-in-Tees-
dale, and was brought to God in early life. Successful in his work
as a Local Preacher, and endowed with suitable gifts, he was
received as a candidate for our ministry in 1873. After two
1879.] OBITUARIES. 55
years' residence in tke Bichmond institution, he was appointed
to the West Indies in 1875. Arriying late in the year, he was
sent to St. Martin's, to fill a yacanoj occasioned by the death of
the Superintendent of the Circuit ; and during the few months
of his residence there he was greatly blessed in his work. At
the District Meeting of 1876, he was appointed to Antigua,
where he laboured ^vith great acceptance, and by his amiaUe,
gentle manners endeared himself to all who knew him. He
was a man of unquestionable piety, and of studioua habits ; a
painstaking pastor, and a good preacher. His remoyal from
Antigua to St. Martin's, in 1878, placed him again among a loving
people, who were already greatly attached to him, and to wh(»n
be was made a blessing. For some time previous to his last
illness his desires after increased holiness were apparent to
all who knew him. Smitten by yellow fever, he lingered eight
days. In the few lucid moments of his illness he testified-,
' All is right ; ' adding, ' Father, I ask only a place among the
sanctified.' He fell asleep in Jesus on Juoe 24th, 1879, in the
twenty-ninth year of his age, and tjie fourth of his ministry.
(8.) JoHK Jbpfeby ; who was born at Brandis Corner, North
Devon. He enjoyed the advantages of a godly Methodist
parentage, but although the subject of gracious influences, he
was seventeen years of age before he rejoiced in the witness of
the Divine Spirit. An accident which brought him nigh to
death, and which was succeeded by protracted illness and weak-
ness, was the occasion of his decision and rejoicing. After his
recovery he was instant in every good work, and in 1869 he was
accepted as a candidate for the ministry and went to the Bichmond
Institution. In 1872 he was sent to Jamaica, and was success
sively appointed to the Kingston, Clarendon, "Watsonville, and
Falmouth Circuits. In these Circuits his labours were accept-
able and most successful. He was an earnest missionary, dili-
gent in his attention to every detail, and anxious to reap the
great spiritual results of his work. By constant study he had
obtained m exteitsive acquaintance with theological and other
56 OBITUABIES, [1879.
literature. His sermons were carefully prepared, and often
reached a high standard of eloquence, and were clear expositions
of truth, delivered with remarkable fervour and power. His
manlj, frank, unassuming and genial deportment helped to
make him acceptable to all classes, and extended his influence.
On his return home from attending Missionary Meetings in
another Circuit, he was exposed to a tropical sun and to showers
which proved fatal to a frame already weakened by illness and
over-work. In a few days it was apparent that he was sick
unto death. In his delirium the deep feeling of his heart was
manifested as he gave tickets to imaginary Glasses, exhorted,
preached, and prayed. After a week's illness he passed to his
reward.
(9.) FBEDiNAirDO Bosio ; who was born in the year 1823. He
was educated for the priesthood, and at twenty years of age
took the highest scholarship and entered a seminary at Milan,
under the charge of the Bishop. It was at this time that he
read certain pamphlets, which shook his attachment to the
Soman GathoHc Church. He was ordered to give up the
reading of these pamphlets, but refused. After some time
he received ordination as a priest. In 1850 he was appointed
Professor of Ehetoric in the Seminary of Mantua. While
occupying this position he manifested such a strong antipathy
to the Austrian tyranny, and gave such vent to his patriotic
sentiments, that he was tried and condemned to death. The
sentence was afterwards commuted to imprisonment for twelve
years, and Ferdinando Bosio found himself in the Castle of
Josephstadt, on the Bohemian confines. During this im-
prisonment his system received a shock from which he never
recovered, and which ultimately ended his life. The Emperor
Francis Joseph, on his public entry into Milan in 1856, granted
an amnesty to a large number of Italian prisoners, and Bosio
was amongst the number. He returned to Italy after five
years of suffering in an Austrian dungeon.
^ter this he was sent p^s a parish priest to Ci^al^^omano, and

remained here till 1861. A colporteur, now employed as an
evangelist in the Wesleyan Mission, sold him a Bible. Bj
private reading of the Scriptures, without other comment than
the silent teaching of G-od's Spirit, he was led to seek a per-
sonal Saviour in Christ. He had a long and severe struggle,
but could not rest till he sought release from the priesthood.
Under the strong conviction awakened in his soul by the
reading of the Scriptures, he called on Mr. Piggott in Milan,
He was told that nothing could be done for him till he proved his
sincerity by renouncing his present position, and consequently
he left much discouraged. Some weeks passed, and again he
returned to Mr. Piggott, this time flushed with excitement.
He rushed into the room, and throwing up both arms ex-
claimed, ^I've done it! I've done it!' He had indeed cast
himself upon Divine Providence, and was no longer a priest.
Every possible means was adopted to induce him to return, but
he stood firm.
After his conversion he became a student, an evangelist, and
finally was received as an ordained minister. Por the last
fifteen years of his life he was a faithful servant of G-od,
esteemed and beloved by his brethren ; modest and retiring in
disposition, but a man of independent thought and strong
moral courage. His preaching was that of a studious and
thoughtful man, and was full of nervous force and earnest
appeal. He suffered much during the last two years of his
life, but up to the time of his death continued his labours.
His last hours were a precious testimony to the presence of
Christ, and the blessedness of His salvation. He gathered the
members of his Church around his bed, partook of the Lord's
Supper with them, and earnestly exhorted them to fidelity and
zeal in Christ's cause. A little time before the last moment
came, he seemed to gather unusual strength, and exclaimed
several times with all his might, * The Lord is my Shepherd ;
I shaU not want.' So he died, privileged to witness in death,
as in life, for Him whom he had faithfully served during a
ministry of fifteen years,

(10.) F£T£B Salqado, a native of Ceylon ; who w«(6 converted
to Grod in early life, and was first employed in Mission-work by
the late Eev. Eobert Spenoe Hardy. He was accepted as a
preacher on trial in 1860, and laboured with success amongst
his fellow-countrymen. Although acquainted only with the
Singhalese language, by a diligent use of the means within his
reach he acquired a good knowledge of theology, and by constant
study of the Holy Scriptures he became a workman that needed
not to be ashamed. He was unwearied in the work of the
ministry, and faithful in reproving sin, and in watching over
those committed to his care. It was by an excess of laboiu* in
his pastoral work that h^ contracted the disease which speedily
ended in his death. His piety, always sincere, deepened in the
latter years of his life, and on his death-bed he gave' a clear
and triumphant testimony to the saving power of Christ and to
his hope of glory.

tLETIBBMENT OP THE EeV. Db. WiLLIAMS.
The Conference learns with regret that, under the pressure
of domestic affliction, its beloved brother, the Bet. Db.
Williams, is compelled to ask permission to retire from the
active work of the ministry. In acceding to this request,
the Conference places on record its high appreciation of the
faithful and distinguished service rendered by Dr. Williams
in every department of its work. It gratefully remembers
his unwearied diligence as a Pastor, his faithful and loyal
administration of the discipline of Methodism, as a Superin-
tendent, and as Chairman of important Districts, his ntimerous
and valuable contributions to its serial and standard literature,
and th« high tone of character which he has maintained during
i879.] MISCMLLANEOtfS UBSOLVTIONS . Isl
the long term of his ministry. Not lefss gratefully does it call
to mind the wi^m of his eoimsel At its Annual Assemblies,
and the very able and indefatigable (^irvioes rendered by him
for mamy years ae one of its Assistant Secretaries, and for three
years as its Secretary. Its r^ret in his retiring from active
work is modified only by the hope that by God's blessing he will
be able in many ways to serve the Church of his choice in the
comparative rest which he has so honourably earned.

it repeats the expression already conveyed to him of its prayerful
sympathy, and its earnest hope that by God's blessing he may
soon be restored to health and vigour.

204 MISSIONS, [1879.
3. The Conference deeply regrets that the General Committee
has found it necessary to propose and to take measures to carry
out a retrenchment of expenditure in all our Mission Districts ;
but hopes that a systematic visitation of our Circuits, by the
Secretaries themselves, with the view of organizing or re-
organizing local Missionary auxiliaries, will so far improve the
income of the Society as to render the proposed reduction a
temporary measure.
4. The Conference is gratified to hear that the important
visit of the Eev. Marmaduke C. Osbom to our West Indian
Missions has been successfully prosecuted ; and offers thanks
to Almighty God for Mr. Osbom's safe return : the Conference
trusts that the result of that visit will lead to a more progressive
administration of those Missions, and to the early attainment of
the position of self-support and self-government.
5. The Conference adopts the following Besolution of the
General Committee, which proposes that its financial obligation
to the Australasian Conference should terminate; and directs
that a correspondence be opened with the Conference to secure
that object : — ' That, having regard to the present embarrassed
financial condition of the Society ; considering that the under-
taking by this Society to pay the deficiencies on the New Zealand
and Polynesian Missions of the Australasian Conference was
stated at the time when it was given to be only for " a time,"
and *Hhat our people in Australasia" engaged ta take upon
themselves the obligation of *' ultimately providing for the entire
maintenance of these Missions;" remembering that it is now
twenty-five years since this arrangement was made; and be-
lieving, further, that the Methodist Church in Australasia is
now well able to take the financial responsibility of its Missions —
in the judgment of the Committee the time has arrived when
all payments of this Committee on behalf of the Missions carried
on by the Australasian Conference should terminate ; and that
immediate steps should be taken vnth a view to the termination
of them at the earliest period practicable.'
6. Having regard to the present financial position of the
1879.] SCHOOLS. 206
Foreign Missionary Society, and with a view to increase the
interest therein, the Conference recommends the September
District Meetings, when the subject of Missions is under con-
sideration, to arrange as far as practicable for deputations to
visit the Branch Associations in each Circuit.

mission, would be the concentration of the Boys' Schools on one
site; and it directs the General Committee to report to the
next Conference as to the best method of accomplishing this.

ded between the Home and Foieignikfisfliaiiafj Funds ; bat

One-third of the sums reoeiTed by JuYCTole Home and

IV.— DISTEICT ADMINISTBATION.
1. With a view to encourage and fitimulate exertion for the
extension of Methodism in particular localities, to maintain and
increase the general resources of the Fund for the country ftt
large, and to avoid the multiplication of local funds, it is de-
sirable that each District Meeting should have an enlarged con-
trol oyer the money obtained bj it for Home-Mission purposes.
It is therefore agreed that each District, whilst receiving, at
least, its present ordinary Grant, shall be allowed to retain and
expend three-fourths of the entire increase upon its present con-
tributions to the Fund, — such contributions being actually paid
in at the May District Meeting.
N.B. — As the May District Committee cannot apportion
its available increase unless the amount of that increase be
then known, or guaranteed, it is most desirable that arrange-
ments should be made in Circuits for closing their Home-
Mission accounts in time for the May District Meeting.
2. In the expenditure of the increased sums thus placed at
the disposal of the Districts, special regard shall be had to the
following objects : —
The employment of District Missionaries, and of additional
Home-Missionary Ministers in Circuits.
The employment of Lay Agents, in accordance with the
Begulations of the Conference.
The increase of allowances to Ministers, in feeble Circuits,
to such amounts as may be in accordance with the Begulations
of the Conference.
N.B. — ^The Fund will meet all .existing obligations, or any
obligaticHi which may be sanctioned by the Conference, but
must not be expected to meet any increased expenditure
which may arise from the calling out of additional Ministers
through the administration of this surplus, or from the failure
of Circuits to fulfil the pledges hereafter entered into by them
to make due provision for married Ministers, to replace the
unmarried Ministers thus called into the work.
3. To carry out more efficiently the objects of the Fund, and
228 HiiMk^MiaaiON AND CONTIK&SS^ MTNb, \\^fii
especially to ensure the successful working of the scheme for
the employment of Lay Agents, a District Home-Mission Sub-
Committee shall be appointed by the Financial District Meeting
in each District. This District Home-Mission Sub-Committee
shall consist of the Chairman and the Financial Secretary of the
District, and not more than four other Ministers, and six Lay-
men, of whom one-half at least shall be Circuit Stewards at the
time of their appointment. At least one Lay Member shall
retire annually by rotation. Any member of this Sub-Committee
not being otherwise a member of the District Committee shall
become such by this appointment.
4. The District Home-Mission Sub-Committee shall be re-
sponsible for making the necessary Financial arran&:^nents for
the support of any District MisXnary who maj l^ employed
in the District, and may invite any Minister as Circuits invite
Circuit Ministers.
v.— GEANTS TO ASSISTED CIECriTS.
1. Payments from the Home-Mission Fund, to assist Circuits
to meet the ordinary claims of their Ministers, shall be remitted
to the Superintendents in four equal instalments, viz., in Septem-
ber, December, March, and June.
2. Special G-rants shall be paid through the Financial
Secretaries of the respective Districts at the time of the Annual
Settlement.
GranU to mcrease Allotvances,
Temporary Grants, for a period to be agreed upon between
the Circuit and the Home-Missionary Committee, may be made
to any Circuit with the approval of the District Committee to
which it belongs, to bring the Allowances of its Married Mini-
sters up to ^130. These Grants are not to exceed, in the pro-
portion of ^1 from the Fund for £1 raised in the Circuit, and
are to be made on the condition that the Allowances shall not
afterwards be reduced below X130.
Grants tovxvrda Removal Expenses,
1. If any Minister be appointed by the Conference to a
1879.] HOME-MISSION AND CONTINGENT FUND. 229
Circuit after an invitation sent by that Circuit to the Minister,
every expense incurred by his removal, beyond what the Circuit
he is leaving may provide, shall be borne by his new Circuit.
2. A Grant towards the removal expenses of any Minister
may be made by the Home-Mission Committee, so soon as it has
been certified by the IKstrict Home-Mission Sub-Committee that
the claim is reasonable, that it has been duly submitted to the
Quarterly Meeting of the Circuit from which the removal has
taken place, and that the Circuit is unable to meet the whole
expense.
Grantafor Afflictions,
No Grant for Affliction shall be paid until the claim has first
been presented to the Quarterly Meeting of the Circuit from
which the application comes, and has been approved by the
Pistrict Meeting to which the Circuit belongs.
OranU towards Circuit Traveling,
All applications for Grants on account of Circuit travelling,
before being paid, must be approved by the May District
Meeting.
Grants towards Supplies,
Any Minister needing a Supply must take counsel with the
Chairman of the District, before applying to the President of
the Conference. Any Pi?eacher sent to supply by the President
shall be paid at the rate of Thirty Guineas per annum, for the
time he is in the Circuit. This allowance shall not include the
board and lodging of the Preacher thus sent.
N.B. — A practice having grown up for Preachers on trial
to apply to the Home-Mission and Contingent Eund for
grants for afflictions, supplies, etc., in the same manner as
Ministers in full connexion, the Conference declares that for
the future it be understood that Preachers on trial have no
claim on the Fund for any extraordinary expenses.
Provision for Married Ministers,
1. Any Circuit making application for an additional Minister,
shall furnish a house not later than at the end of four years, and
at the end of thr^ years wherever practicable ; and the Superin-
380 HOME-MISSION AND CONTINGENT FUND. [1879.
tendent and Circuit Stewards, acting by the direction of the
Quarterly Meeting, shall sign a pledge to this effect, and satisfy
the District Committee that there is a reasonable probability that
such pledge will be duly redeemed. This pledge shall be in the
keeping of the Financial Secretary of the Home-Mission Fund,
and a copy of it shall be inserted in the District Minutes.

VI.— EEGULATIONS FOE THE EMPLOYMENT
OF A HOME MISSIONAEY.
The object proposed in the appointment of additional
Ministers to aggressive or Missionary work in our own country.
1879.] E0M£^M1S8J0N^ AND CONTINQENT FUND. 231
is, that specific* attention maj be given to the neglected and
careless portion of the population of our large towns and the
rural districts. Their appalling moral and social condition de-
mands a much larger Bhare of the practical sympathy of our
Ck>nnexion. An increased concern for the religious welfare of
ourcountrymen is already manifested by augmented contributions
to the Wesleyan Home-Mission and Contingent Fund; and
while anxious to give full support to existing Grcuits, to render
them still more efEective, the Conference desires to see a well-
organized effort to extend the Work of God in destitute parts
of the kingdom.
* H&m&^Mifsion Worls not to he involved or ahsorhed in the present
regtdar Working of Oircuitg.
Any new enterprise of an aggressive character, although con-
ducted in harmony with the working of our Circuits, requires
separate arrangements, until the prosperity of the Mission shall
make its incorporation practicable and desiraUe.
When any . Circuit requests the appointment of a Home-
Missionary Minister, an engagement shall be entered into that
his labours shall be devoted to a separate district or neighbour-
hood ; and that such evangelical labours shall not be diverted
from their proper object, even by the suppljring of vacancies
occasioned by temporary absence or inability of other Ministers.
A cTiange of appointments with the other Ministers of the Circuit
(in the forenoon, where practicable) is however desirable. Such
a change will bring the Missionary Minister into desirable com-
munion with the established congregations, beneficially exercise
his preaching talents, and secure general sympathy. With this
exception, it is manifestly importuit, in order to the concentra-
tion both of labour and responsibility, that the Minister so
employed should give himself wholly to his dietinctive and proper
work.
DwHee of a Hrnne-Missionary Minister,
He should daily visit from house to house in his District,
until all have been visited ; avoiding, however, the usual hours
for meals, when the poor naturally object to be intruded upon
232 HOME-MISSION AND CONTINOSJVT FUND. [1879.
by strangers. He should read the Scriptures and offer prayer,
if practicable, in every case ; and where this is not practicable,
he should introduce as much of the Scriptures «s possible in
conversation, giving prominence to the great doctrine which
concern the sinfdness of man, and his salvation from sin, and
from its consequences, through the one perfect sacrifice of
Christ, and by the grace of the Holy Spirit. He should urge
the duties .of prayer, reading the Scriptures, and habitual attend-
ance on the public worship of Almighty Gkxl ; earnestly inviting
the people to any of our regular or occasional services in the
neighbourhood. - In these visitations suitable Tracts shotdd, if
possible, be distributed in every house. He should inculcate^
on parents the duty of training up their children religiously,
and the importance of sending them to Weeknlay and Sunday-
Schools. He should faithfully, but prudently and affectionately
reprove sin ; especially profaneness, intemperance, and Sabbath-
breaking. Care shoufcL be taken to avoid all imnecessary con-
troversy, or the introduction of subjects calculated to produce
irritation; and to create, by a truly Christian spirit and de-
meanour, an affectionate sympathy and confidence between the
Minister find those who are vinted by him. Without such
visitation from house to house, and this individual dealing with
the people, there can be no reasonable hope of their being
gathered into the Church of Christ.
The sick and dying imperatively demand the care of the
Minister. He wiU often find afllictien aggravated by deep
poverty ; and while it is not presumed that he will be able to
relive all such cases, he may, with advantage to his woris, refer
them to our various Benevolent Institutions ; or, by application
to the affluent, obtain means for their partial relief.
He should preach out of doors, at every suitable opportunity,
in a simple, earnest, and affectionate manner, especially in the
thickly-populated and destitute parts of our towns, and also
in vilhiges not at present visited by our Ministers.
It would often be practicable, in addition to regular public
worship, to obtain a room for a short service in the evening ;
1879.] HOME-MISSION AND CONTINGENT FUND. 233
and sometimes two sendees might be held, in different localities,
on the same evening. These services would be extemporized
and informal, consisting, in the main, of that simple and faithful
preadiing of Christ crucified, which, applied by the Holy Spirit,
is the power of Gt)d unto salvation*
It is of the utmost importance that the Minister should
not attempt to embrace too large a sphere of action ; either as
regards population or district. The effect of repeated visits
will be to secure greater mutual sympathy, to make his efforts
more impressive, to enable him to mark the effect upon the
minds and lives of the people, and more certainly to secure the
spiritual harvest.
In most places pious and earnest members of Society will be
ready to accompany the Minister, and to help him in various
departments of his work ; and such training will eminently fit
them for extensive usefulness in the Church.
Missionary Minister's Journal and Reports,
Each Home-Missionary Minister is to keep a Journal, specify-
ing the number of visits paid and of religious services held by
him ; the number of persons who have been prevailed upon to
attend the house of God ; of those who have been gathered into
fellowship with the Church ; and of children obtained for our
schools. The Journal should note remarkable instances of
ignorance, and social and moral degradation ; and the strictest
accuracy must be observed, and great pains bestowed, in report-
ing the results of the work undertaken. The supporters of our
Home-Mission movement are entitled to a fuU and particular
account of the proceedings of the Ministers employed as Home
Missionaries; and such records will often exhibit plans of
aggressive and successful labour. It must also be remembered
that the friends of this work will look less at ike mere number
of visits and services^ than at the religious efiiciency of each
Mission.
Each Minister, thus employed, will be supplied with two
Journals. One of these he wiU use for three months, at the
expiration of which it must be sent to the Secretary for the
234 MOM^MISSION AND CONTINQENT FUND. [1879.
ioBpectidn of tihe Committee. He will then use the other for
three niAwthg • and at the end of each quarter the Journals will
be interchanged.
The Missionary Minister must also furnish an annual Beport
to the Gonunittee of Management, not later than the end of
June. This is to be an independent document, and not a copy
of the Journal. This Seport may include statements of great
spiritual destitution, and instances of permanent religious good.
A few wellHselectod cases, given in detail and with fulness, will
best B^re the purpose. The Beport should also contain a
sununary of the work done (visits, services, etc.), as detailed in
the Journal.
Each Home^Missionary Minister is directed to forward to the
General Secretary, for the information of the Committee, a copy
of the Circuit Phin, and a quarterly statement of the number of
full and accredited Church-members, and of persons on trial,
in connection with the place or places assigned to him as his
Mission District.
Hdaiion of Home Miatuynariei to their Superintendents.
The Superintendents under whose care such Ministers are
placed will be responsible for their proper employment, as before
defined, and must not allow them to be diverted from it. If, m
any case, it be judged expedient to make an existing place of
worship the cen1a*e of Missionary operations, such an arrangement
must not interfere with the preceding regulations. The Super-
intendent will be exp€k!ted to peruse the Journal of the Mission-
tf J ; to give the Committee of Management regular information
of the spiritual and financial condition of the work ; and to
present annually to the District Committee a Beport of the
operation of these Missions.
. Jppoimtment of Ministers as Home Missionaries.
Ab a general rule, additional Ministers can only be appointed
as Home-Missionaries to neighbourhoods where local contribu-
tions 4U^ olEered to defray part of the expense ; and Grants wiU
be m^e from the Home-lVfOssion and Contingent Pund towards
the support of the Ministers, to supplement and encourage local

liberality. Eor the present, when one-half or more than one-
half of what may be required to meet tiiie claims of a Minister, shall
be provided, such offers will, all other things being equal, receive
the first attention of the Committee in their recommendations
to the Conference. It may be desirable, in some cases, not to
make the appointment of a Minister absolutely dependent on
such proportion ; but these must be exceptions, admitted only
upon proved great necessity and reasonable prospects of success.
All applications for the appointment of Home-Missionary Minis-
ters are to be sanctioned by the Quarterly Meetings and by the
District Committees.
Binploymeni of Married Ministers in Home-Mission work.
1. As soon as practicable the spheres of labour now occupied
by Home-Missionary Ministers shall be incorporated with- the
general work of Circuits ; and in every case in which a married
Minister shall be appointed to a Circuit, in connection with such
an arrangement, the simi of d650 shall be granted by the Com-
mitteo/ if requested by the Circuit, towards furnishing the addi-
tional Minister's house.
2. If necessary, a Home-Mission Grant may be made, for a
period not exceeding three years, to the Circuit in which such an
arrangement is effected, provided that the amount of Ministerial
labour in the locality to which the Home-Missionary Minister
was originally appointed be not diminished.
3. Should any Circuit in which such an arrangement has been
made require aid from the Home-Mission and Contingent Fund
beyond the period of three years, the amount of the Grant shall
be determined in the usual way, and be charged among
* Ordinary Deficiencies.*
4. Whenever, in the judgment of the Committee, a Home-
Mission Station should have permanently the services of a
married Minister, a house shall be provided, either in the usual
way by the Circuit to which the Station belongs, aided by the
Committee's grant, or, if the Mission is connected with any
Circuit, by the Committee only. In the latter case, however, the
furniture shall remain the property of the Committee (who are
236 HOME-MISSION AND CONTINGENT FUND. [1879.
hereby made responsible for its insurance), until, by a special
agreement, it has been transferred to a duly constituted Cir-
cuit.

on special occasions, and then olily with the written consent of
the Chairman of the District, and on condition that a Circuit
MiniBter shall supply for him
4. He shall labour where he can be most serviceable in the
evangelization of the people ; and especially in rural neighbour-
hoods where no organized Methodism now exists, and where, if
the Mission-work be successful, the places can be afterwards
attached to adjacent Circuits.
5. He shall pay earnest attention to places where Eomanizing
practices, infidehty, and immorality prevail, and in which there
is no vigorous Evangelizing Agency.

2. A Circular shall be sent to all Superintendent Ministers
stationed in garrison towns, or where Depot centres are esta-

religious services of their own denominations, and requesting
those Ministers to take suitable measures for gathering into our
Congregations and Societies such Officers, Non-commissioned
Officers, and Soldiers, as declare themselves Wesleyan-Metho-
dists, and those Children in G-ovemment Schools whose parents
are Wesleyan-Methodists.
3. Ministers appointed for the benefit of Wesleyan-Methodists
in the Army or Boyal Navy, or both, and supported by the Home-
Mission Committee, shall conduct all special Parade Services.
4. Generally, it is desirable that Ministers designated to
Army work should be appointed to Circuits in the ordinary way,
and that arrangements should be made between the Home-
Mission Committee and the Circuit authorities with reference
to details of work and payment.
5. The Quarterly Meetings of Circuits to which Army
Ministers are designated, shall, when such appointments are
proposed, be invited to send representatives to meet the Com-
mittee to arrange such details. In cases where more than one
Circuit is concerned, the authorities of each Circuit shall be
consulted.

regulations of the Conference.
rXL— THE EMPLOYMENT OP LAY AGENTS.
OENEBAL BASIS.
1. That the time has arrived when it is desirable to employ Lay
Agents on a larger scale, and in a more systematic way,
than heretofore ; and that our District Organization affords
special facilities which may be rendered available in framing
a general Scheme for the employment of such Agents.
2. That, by the union of District central influence with Circuit
enterprise and responsibility, a plan may be devised which
will meet the exigencies of the present time.
3. That, in any such plan, it must be a governing principle that
no interference can be allowed with the responsibility of
the Superintendent Minister, or with the constitutional
rights and authority of the Quarterly Meeting.
4. That, while it is not desirable for the General Home-Mission
Committee to have any responsibility in regard to the
selection or support of Lay Agents employed according to
any such plan, that Committee should keep a Eegister of
all such Agents, and in this way be able to facilitate the
transfer of Agents from one District to another.
5. That such a plan for the employment df Lay Agents shall not
have any authority or any necessary application in cases
where such Agents are entirely supported by funds obtained
within the Circuit or Circuits immediately concerned.

1. Ministers who have travelled not more than twenty-one
years, and have lost their health, may be allowed to retire for
one year, and may, if in necessitous circumstances, receive, in
addition to the allowances payable from the Annuitant Society
and Connexional Funds, a sum not exceeding ^80, of which
one-half shall be provided by the Home-Mission and Contingent
Fund, the other half being paid by the Auxiliary Fund. Each
case shall be considered by a mixed Committee of seven members,
who shall be appointed by the Conference,namely, — ^the Ex-Presi-
dent, three Ministers, and three Laymen. Should the Conference
deem it indispensable, a second year's G-rant may be allowed.
2. When the Conference, in order to retain in the full work
a Minister who has travelled forty years and upwards, and
who must otherwise become a Supernumerary, allows him an
Assistant, his support, except in those cases in which the
Conference shall decide that the whole expense shall be paid
out of the Home-Mission and Contingent Fund, shall be pro-
vided as follows, viz., one-third by the Minister so assisted, or
by the Circuit to which he is appointed; one-third from the
Auxiliary Fund; and one-third from the Home-Mission and
Contingent Fund. The expense shall be calculated so as to
include the amount which it may be necessary to reserve to

concurrence of the Connexion in 1852 and 1853, by wHich the
allowance made for Furniture should be paid to Ministers on
their retirement from the full work of the Ministry, and tp
the Widows of such as die in the work, without bringing any
charge on the "Worn-out Ministers' and Ministers' Widows'
Fund ; the Conference is of opinion that, on grounds of fairness
and eq^uity, that arrangement should be continued, and confirmed.
DISTRICT SUSTBNTATION FUNDS.
The Conference receives with pleasure the statement of Mr.
T. F. C. May as to the good accomplished by the operation of
these Funds since their establishm.ent in 1874, and directs that

Q. XXVn. What are the Eesolutions of the Conference on
the affairs of the Atjxiliabt Fund ?
A. 1. The Conference receives and adopts the Beport of the
Committee.
2. The Conference, while gratified to learn that its direction
* that a Public Collection be made in all our chapels on behalf of
this Fund,' has been acted upon by a large majority of the
Circuits, and that from some congregations two collections have
been received, regrets to find that in a few principal chapels no
collection has been made, and that the collections generally are
below those of last year.
3. The Conference regrets to find that in many Circuits the
Public Collection is largely, and in some cases wholly taken to
supplement the Class contributions ; and recommends that by. a
conscientious mention of the subject in the Classes by the
Ministers, an effort be made -to raise the quota of sixpence per
member, so that the Public Collection may go to the dire^
augmentation of tiie Fund». ^ ^ ;

separated or engaged to other service, shall have a sum paid for
them by the department of service to^ which they are appointed
equivalent to tiiat which is provided for the Circuit ministers by
the Class contributions,' has been accepted by the greater part
of the departments, and that they have resolved to act upon the
recommendation of the Conference year by year.
5. In view of the constantly increasing claims upon this Fund,
both regular and special* the Conference urges the Superinten-
dents and their colleagues to careful and earnest exerticms to
maintain and augment' the annual income by private Bubscrip-
tions and Subscri];^i<ms.from Chape] Trusts. '

10. The Conferanoe resolyes that the New College shall be
called " The Birmingham Branch of the Wesleyan Theological
Institution."
11. The Conterence appoints as Trustees of the buildings
and legal estate connected with the New Branch the Minis-
ters and Laymen nominated bj the General Committee.
12. Mb. Dbwhibst and Mb. Fointon are appointed Auditors
of the Midland Beserve Fund, and the Conference directs that
the amount due shall be paid to the Local Treasurers of the
Birmingham Branch of the Institution.
13. The Conference adopts the following Besolutions in
relation to the administration of the Theological Institution : — -
(i.) That a (General Committee of the Theological Institution
shall be annually appointed by the Conference, and that its
ordinary place of meeting shall be in Birmingham, but that the
last meeting of each year shall be held in London.
(ii.) That this Committee shall be charged with the mainte-
nance and the management of the several Branches of the In-
stitution, and that it shall have authority to administer all
funds available for these purposes.
(iii.) That there shall be annually appointed by the Conference
from this General Committee, to act as Sub-Committees thereof.
Local Executive Committees, one for each Branch of the Insti-
tution; that each Local Executive Committee shall contain
twelve members ; and that with these there shall be associated
other persons who are not members of the General Committee.
(iv.) That the Local Executive Committees shall report to the
General Committee upon all matters afiEecting the maintenanoe,
management, and efficiency of their respective Branches ; that
these Beports shall be presented at least quarterly, and oftener
if the General Committee so determine; that each quarterly
Beport shall include a statement of the quarter's expenditure in
such form as the General Committee may direct ; and that the
fourth quarterly Beport in each year shall also include a simi-
lar statement of the expenditure for the year, and an estimate
of expenditure for the year ensuing.
250 . WESLEYAN THEOLOGICAL INSTITUTION. [1879.
(t.) Thftt the ordinary meetings of the Qeneral Oommiitee
shall be held quarterly, to receive and consider Beports from
the Local Executive Committees, and to determine all ques'
tions thence or otherwise arising with reference to the main-
tenance, management, and efficiency of the several Branches, or
of the Institution as a whole ; that at its meeting next before
the assembling of the Conference in each year, it shall prepare
a general Beport upon the condition and efficiency of the
Institution, and upon the state and requirements of the Fund ;
that this general Beport shidl include the annual Beports and
estimates of the several Branches, together with the General
Committee's estimate of expenditure for the ensuing year ; and
that this Beport shall be submitted to the Conference.
N.B. — ^The lEUchmond Branch being a Missionary Institution,
the Missionary Committee will continue to act as the Local
Executive Committee of that iJ^iuich, and shall have as now the
diaige of the maintenance and management of that Branch,
subject, however, to the provisions of the Trust Deed of the
Bichmond Branch, and to the instructions of the General Com-
mittee on all matters relating to the economical arrangements
of the Institution.
, . (vi.) That the payment of the travelling expenses of the
Students shall be discontinued. After the Conference of 1880,
aHowanoes to Students shall be paid only in cases of proved ne-
cessity, the amount not to exceed ^10 per annum ; and instead
of the question which has hitherto appeared in the Schedule, a
separate document shall be prepared and forwarded to each can-
didate for the Ministry, to be filled up and signed by the parelit or
guardian of such candidate, and countersigned by the Superin-
tendent of the Circuit ; and the necessiiy for an allowance shall
be proved to the General Committee through the Governor
of the Branch to which the candidate is appointed as a
Student :
Provided, however, that quarterage for the current year be
paid to Students already in the Institution at the rate of ^£10
per annum, but that Students admitted to the Institution this
1879.] WE8LEYAN THEOLOQICAL INSTITUTION. 251
year shall be subject to the principle embodied in the foregoing
resolution.
(vii.) That the accounts at the several Branches shall be uni-
formly kept according to instructions to be prepared by the
General Committee.
(yiii.) That, subject to the General Committee, the same
dietary table shall be adopted in all the Branches, and that the
provision, while it is wholesome, nutritious, and sufficient, shall
be plain.
(ix.) That in all cases where practicable two Collections shall
be made annually in each Chapel on behalf of the funds of the
Institution ; that a circular shall be prepared and issued to the
Connexion stating the financial condition of the Institution, and
urging its claims to larger and more general support ; that the
position and claims of the Institution shall be made the subject
of special consideration at the next Financial District Meetings,
and in the forthcoming September Quarterly Meetings of the
Circuits, and that a special inquiry as to the result shall be
made in the next May District Meetings.
14. The Conference remits the following suggestions to
the General Committee for special consideration during the
year: —
(a.) That the official staff be revised with a view to lessen
the number of married Ministers on full allowances.
(6.) That since — unless some further augmentation of
income can be obtained — ^the changes now resolved upon
by the Conference woidd probably still leave a large annual
deficiency, it may be requisite to consider whether the
financial necessities of the case will not require that the
staff of the several Branches be reduced.
(e.) The question of the travelling expenses to be paid
to Students by Circuits which may be served by them is
also referred to the consideration of the G^eneral Com-
mittee.
15. In the case of Candidates for the Ministry, who are on
the President's List of Beserve, and have been sent into
262 EDUCATION. [1879.
Circuits during the year, the District Meetings to which
thej may belong are directed to express an opinion as to
th^ desirability, or otherwise, of their admission to the In-
stitution.
EDirCATION.
Q. XXIX. What are the Besolutipns of the Conference on
the subject of Wbslbtan Education ?
A. 1. The Conference receives the Bepoit of the proceed-
ings of the Education Committee during the year, together with a
Statistical Statement relating to Training Colleges, Day Schools,
Sundayt-Schools, and the Connexional Sunday-School Union, and
directs that an Abstract thereof be printed in the Minutes as an
Appendix. (See Appendix, No. lY.)
2. The Conference empowers the Education Committee to
make Grants, on ixispection, to new Schools to which the provi-
sions 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.
3. The Conference expresses its opinion that, in view of the
workixig 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 ox 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.
4. 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 embairass-
1879.] EDUCATION. 263
ment. The same general prmoiple shall apply to Wesleyan
Day Schods conducted in premises rented for the purpose under
the management of a recognized Wesleyan School Committee.
When, 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 the
Education Committe^-^shall be adhered to.
5. The Conference declares that it shall not be deeiiiied to be
within the power and option of a Superintendent to prevent
the establishment or continuance of a Wesleyan Day School, so
long as responsible parties pledge themselves to bear all the
financial cost and risk.
6. (1.) In view of the interpretation which is put upon
Section xxin. of the Elementary Education Act by the Lords
of the Conunittee of Council, to the effect that any transfer of
a School, settled upon our School Model Deed No. I., to a
School Board, for any term whatever, for the purposes of such
School Board, must be sanctioned not only by the signatures of
the Trustees, but by the Conference, testified by the President
in writing, the Conference directs that in every case in which
the transfer oE such a School is proposed, the Superintendent,
with the Managers and Trustees acting in concert, shall first
consult the Education Committee on the subject, and that if,
for reasons given, that Conunitfcee recommends such a transfer,
the Eules of the Conference in relation to the sale of Trust
Property shall be applicable thereto; — the Education Com-
mittee considering all questions affecting School manage-
ment, and the Chapel Committee questioils aff^ting Trust
Property.
(2.) In respect to Schools settled on the School Model
264: EDUCATION, [1879.
Deed No. II., or on any other Deed in which the consent of
the Conference is rendered necessary for the alienation of the
property, the Conference recommends the Trustees to act upon
the sfune principles as those laid down in the foregoing clause in
relation to Schools settled on the School Model Deed No. I,
(3*) In all cases of transfer which may hereafter occur, the
Conference recommends that proyision he made in the instru-
ment of transfer to secure the resumption of the •pcemises.by
the Trustees, without their being required to reimburse any
mon^y laid out upon them by the School S<mrd solely for. its

Schools, such discussion and inquiry shall take place in the
June Quarterly Meeting.
8. The Conference directs that the Education Schedtdes^
haying been duly filled up and presented to the March
Quarterly Meetii^, shall be sent by the Superintendents to the
District Education Secretary, not later than April 20th.
9. The Conference directs all who are contemplating the
erection or alteration of premises %Gt the establishment of new
Schools, to communicate with the Education Committee, for
the piuTpose of receiving counsel as to their projected under-
takings, and the adaptation of the premises to the system of
instruction designed to be adopted.
10. The Conference directs that the October Examination of
Pupil teachers in Eeligipus Knowledge 'shall be held on the Ifut
Saturday of that month. The March Examination will continue
to be held on the^rv^ Saturday of that month.

CHILDEEN'S HOME AND OEPHANAGE.
Q. XXX. -What are the [Resolutions of the Conference on
the subject of the Childben's H6me and Orphanage ?
A. 1. The Conference receives with gratification the Seport
1879.] CHILDREN" a HOME AND ORPHANAQB. 267
of the Committee of the Children's Home, and expresses its
thankfulness for the social, moral, and religiqus results, which
are being gathered from the work. The Conference notices
with great satisfaction the continued liberal support afforded
to the Institution by the subscribers generally, and particularly
by Sunday Schools ; and, especially in view of the establishment
of the New Orphanage Branch near Birmingham, commends
this whole work to the enlarged and prayerful liberality of the
Christian public. The Conference further directs that an Ab-
stract of the Beport be printed in the Minutes. (See Appendix,
No. V.)
2. The Conference approves the following Scheme for the
future management of this Department, including the existing
Branches of the Children's Home, the New Orphanage Branch,
and any others which the Conference may in future place under
the direction of this Committee ; and requests the Trustees and
General Committee of the Children's Home to take such steps
as may be rendered necessary by the adoption of this Scheme : —

ference for the Children's Home and Orphanage,
which shall meet at least twice yearly, and more

shall administer, subject te the direction of the Con-
ference, all funds available for this purpose.-

Committees of this General Committee, Local Execu-
tive Committees, one for each Branch of the Institution.

TEMPERANCE.
Q. XXXIU. What are the Besolutions of the Conference en
the subject of Tempesaitce ?
A. 1. The Conference receiyes and adopts the Report of the
Temperance Committee.
2. The Conference learns with pleasure that the "Wesleyan
Bands of Hope now niunber 1,602, with a membership of
136,629; and commends to the special notice and fostering
care of Ministers and Sunday-school Committees, these simple,
but important organizations, as capable, when properly man-
aged, of conferring great benefit on our young people.
3. In view of the widespread and deplorable evils of intem-
perance, the Conference recommends that on Sunday, December
1879.] TEMPMRAXCE. 2C5
14th, 1879, special reference be made to the subject in all our
places of worship.
4, Desirous of increasing the efficiency of the Temperance
Schemes abeady sanctioned {Minutes of Conference^ 1874, p. 207,
and 1877, p. 211), and of bringing their operations into closer
agreement with our general system, the Conference approyes
the following additional regulations for Circuit and District
action :
(i.) The Wesleyan-Methodist Temperance Societies and Bands
of Hope in any Circuit may be formed into a Circuit
Temperance Union,
(ft.) Every such Union shall be managed by a Committee^
annually elected, consisting equally, if possible, of
abstainers and non-abstainers, and comprising all the
Ministers of the Circuit, together with twelve or more
persons, one-half of whom shall be elected by the
Band or Bands of Hope in the Circuit in such pro-
portions as may be locally determined ; and the other
half shall, in like manner, be elected by the Tern*
perance Society or Societies of the Circuit. The
elective body of each Band of Hope or Temperance
Society shall be, for this purpose, its own Committee,
(iii.) The Circuit Union Committee shall appoint from among
themselves a Treasurer and Secret^es.
(iv.) The Secretaries shall convene and take Minutes ol
meetings of the Committee ; keep a record of retuma
received from the Temperance Societies and Bands of
Hope ; furnish, in due time, the returns required for
the District Temperance Secretar/s Eeport; and attend
generally to the affairs of the Circuit Temperance
Union,
(v.) The Superintendent of the Circuit shall be ex-officio
Chairman of the Committee, but may, when he shall
see fit, appoint one of his colleagues, or some other
member of the Committee, to act in his place,
(vi.) At the September District Meeting a ministerial District
266 a'EMPE^RAKCE. [18T9.
Temperance ' Secretary shdl 'be appointed, to tdiom
shall be sent all returns and reports from the Circuit
ITnions, Bands' of Hope, and Temperance Societies.
It shall be the duty of iius Secretary to prepare a
report on the Temperance work in the District, and
submit the same to the District Meeting in May, and
afterwards forward it, with any resolutions of the
District Meeting thereupon, to the Secretaries of the
General Temperance Committee.
5. In the judgment of the Conference the pubKc sale of in-
toxicating drinks on the Lord's Day, as now carried on in this
country, is in striking inconsistency with the due observance
of that Day, and with the best interests of the nation. The
Conference, being of opinion that special efforts should be made
during the ensuing year, in behalf of closing licensed public-
houses entirely on Sundays, throughout England and Wales,
except for hond fide travellers, authorizes its President, in con-
j unction: with the Temperance and Sabbath Committees, to
'promote the' petitioning of Parliament, and other well-advised
means for the accomplishment of so important and desirable
an end;
■ 6. The following Ministers and Laymen are appointed the
Committee for the next year, viz., — ^the President of the Con-
ference ; the Secretary of the Conference r the Ex-President ;

WESLETAN-METHODIST THANKSGIVINa FUND.
L The . Conf ereace reoeives the Beport of the Comnuttee
i^ppointed last year to 'consider the best method of relieving
the existing em]}arrassments, aaid providing, as far as possible,
against the recurring accumulation of debt, as also of raising
the means for the erection of a new Branch of the Theplogical
Institution^ and for other pressing purposes.'
JI. Having considered the Beport of the Committee respecting
the establishment of 'The Wesleyan-Methodist Thanksgiving
Pund/ for the purposes named in the preceding resolution,
the Conference records its hearty approval of the measures
80 adopted, and expresses its devout and earnest gratitude
to Almighty God for the remarkable success which has thus
far been vouchsafed to the movement in various Districts
of the Connexion. The Conference regards- with warm ap-
preciation and very deep thankfulness the unity of purpose
and heart, the loving devotion to the cause of O-od, the anxiety
for the welfare and progress of Methodism, and the readi-
ness to promote the efficiency of its institutiiHis by self-
denying liberality, which have been evinced' in connection with
268 WJESLEYAN-METH0DI8T [1879.
the movement; as also the spirit of cheerful consecration to
Qod in which contributions have been promised to the Fiind^
the high tone of religious feeling prevailing in meetings which
have been held on its behalf, and the spiritual blessing which
has so abundantly accompanied them. The Conference is
sensible of the many and important advantages which the .Ckm-
nexion will secure by the relief of its Departments from em-
barrassment, and by the means of extension and usefulness
which the Fund will provide. The value of the contributiona
to it, moreover, is greatly enhanced in the esteem of the
Oonferenoe by the fact that they have been made during a
period of commercial depression which haa very painfully
affected many parts of the country, and which must have
lessened the resources of many donors to the Fund ; and still
more, in view of the very numerous and widely varying Sums
promised, which embrace, together with munificent gifts, very
many equally generous gifts of smaller amount. The Confer-
ence, in view of the success which is now reported to it,
expresses its confident hope that the movement will be Satis-
factorily completed, and commends it to the hearty and
generous sympathy of the Methodist people at homeland
abroad.
III. The Conference approves the appropriation of ^he
proceeds of the Fund to the extinction of debt upon Con-
nexional Departments, the erection of a new Branch of the
Theological Institution, and to other purposes, now reported to
have been made at the Meeting of the Committee, held October
29th, 1878, and following days, as under ; and the Conference
accordingly determines —
(1) That the under-named sums, amounting to £58,000,

STAJ^DING OEDEES.
1. Home-Missionary Ministers, — The Conference directs that
a special inquiry shall be made at the Maj Distnct Meetings,
whether the Begulations for the employment of Home-Mis^
sionary Ministers, adopted by the Conference, have been faith-
fully observed in the Circuits to which Home-Missidnary
Ministers are appointed ; and that a Beport in each case shali
l)e made to the Conference.
2. 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.
3. Preachers on Trial, — (1.) 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 partaking of this Holy
Sacrament. (2.) Whenever it shall be found to be practicable.
Preachers on Trial shall preach during the District Meetings.
4. 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 AnTnutl Meeting in May,)
to be selected by the Chairman, exclusively of the Superinten-
dents by whom the Candidates respectively are proposed ; and
a special report of the Sermons shall be made in the District
1879,J STANDING ORDERS. 285
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 Beport to the General Secretaries
of the Examination Committee.
5. Attendaiice 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 Leaiders' Meetings, and in all
othec official meetings of the Circuits to which they are ap-
pointed.
6. Minor District Meetings, — In all. cases in which the holding
of a Minor District Meeting is rendered necessary, such Meet-
ing, except under the Regulation 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 acciiser
selecting respectively two Ministers from the said District, who,
mth the Chairman thereof, shall constitute 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
rule may be made up.
7. Committee ori Appeals and other Cases, — ^At each Con-
ference, 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 inquiry touching the character of Ministers or Preachera
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.
?86 8TANJ>IXG ORDERS. [1879;
Any complamant or appellant, or any person under inquirj,
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 aot instead of tho^
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
Oonyener shall be appointed, who shall be responsible for pre*
paring the business of the Committee.
8. Supply of Focaiujie*.— Instances having occurred in which
Superintendents and other Ministers, needing Circuit-supplies
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 communicating with
the Chairman in every such case, who is also directed to -satisfy
himself, by personal inquiry, that a local supply cannot be
obtained.
9, 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 Ann^iAl
Meeting of each District Committee, (as our standing Begula-
tions. require,) shall also be read at the Weekly Meeting of
Ministers in each Circuit, next following the September
Quarterly Meeting; and the Chairmen of Districts are directed
to make inquiry concerning the due observance of this regula-
tion.

Eecords; a second shall be reserved for the use of the Chairman
and Financial Secretary at the Conference ; and a third shall

direction, as a document appertaining to the Connexion. Thd
deyeral copies of the last class shall be written on foolscap
paper, that they may be annually bound together in one volume'.
'> 11. Annual Re^m of Members m Society. — The number of
]d!embers in Society, and of persons admitted on trial, as taken

ference.
12. Returns of (he Military in attendance at our Chapels,-^^
'The Conference directs that the returns of the Military in

Members in Society are to be forwarded, immediately after the
May District Meetings, to the Eev. John W. Qeeeves, Wes^
^an Centenary Hall, Bishopsgate Street Within^ London^ B.C.
: 14. Schedules tmd Cireulars on Connexional Business. — ^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 bb
furnished with as much statistical information as possible 6n
the matters of business severally confided to their care, the
Conference authorises them, through their appointed Officers,
to s^nd, when they deem it expedient, suitable Cireulars and
Schedules to the Superintendents, or to the Chairmen of Dis-
tricts, as the case may require ; and directs the Superintendents
and Chairmen duly to return such Schedules properly filled up.

ledge, — 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 ; th^
the questions shall be prepared by the General Committee ; that >
the Examination shall be held, either in the seyeral Cireoitaby
the Superintendent Ministers or their Colleagues, or at suitably ^
places for Central District Examinations, as may be determined-,
by the September District Meetings, and agreed to by the respec:; .
tire School Committees; and that the written answers shall be.,
forwarded to the General Secretary, and shall be valued by
a Central Board of Examiners to be elected by the General
Committee. The Confereiice further recommends that, in con-
nexion 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.
16. Lay-Members of Conneananal Committees. — ^In respect to
the severail Committees of the Connexional Funds, the Con-

ihe Chairman. — The Chairmen of Districts shall be required "
to send a circular to the Lay-Members of the District Com- .
mittee, requesting their attendance on the Wednesday, and,
if necessary, on the Thursday, in the week of the Annual .
District Meeting, specifying the business that will be broughi/
forward, and particularly mentioning any subject that may \
have been specially remitted by the Conference to the con-
sideration of such Meeting. A similar circular shall be pre- ;-
pared and sent with reference to the Financial District.
Meeting.
In order to the carrying out of this Eesolution, 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... .
18. Representative to the Statmiing Committee, — The Ministeiff ,,

1879J STANDING ORDERS. 289
jmoisters and I^yinen who are members of the District
Committee.
V19. Bivigum ofOircuUg. — Before District Committees consent
to the division of any Circuit, inquiry must be made whether
due attention has' been paid to satisfactory arrangements for
the Triist-Estates affected by the proposed division, especially
in reference to any debts existing thereon.
j''20. Boundaries 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,
tie boundaries of Circuits which are divided shall be fully
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 Conference further directs that
these arrangements be made in all cases of alteration in the
bo^ndaries of existing Circuits.
21. Quarterly Fast-Days. — ^The days upon which the Quarterly
Fast, appoint'ed by Bule, is to be observed throughout the
Connexion, for the following year, are, Fridays, October 3rd,
December 26th, 1879, March 26th, and June 26th, 1880.
22, Rule of 1797 concerning Admission of Members. — Mistakes
having occasionally arisen respecting the meaning of the Bule
of 1797 on the subject of the admission of persons who are on
trial as Members of our Society, the Conference deems it neces-
sary 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 satisfacijon of the
19
290 STANDING ORDERS. [1879.
Meeting, a Member's Ticket shall not be given to the persoh
so objected to, at the Quarterly Visitation.
23. Trial of Member$. — ^When a charge is brought a^iblust
any Member resident in a place where no Leaders' Meetiiig is
statedly held, the case shall be referred for investigaition to the
Leaders' Meeting of the principal Society in the Oilxmit Town.
The Leader or Leaders, and the Sodety Stewards, of the Society
of which the accused is a Member, shall be associated with the
Leaders' Meeting for the purposes of the inyestigation.
If the accused person is a Trustee, then 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
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.
24. Reading of the Pastoral Addr^ in Society Meetings.-r^Uhe
Superintendents are directed to appoint special Society Meet-
ings to be held at the principal Chapels in their Circuits, for
the purpose of haying the Pastoral Address read, and made the
subject of suitable remarks and exhortations.
25. The Army. — ^The Chairmen of Districts are directed to
inquire 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; dis-
tinguishing the number of Members in Society. These returns
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.
26. Arrangements respecting the Stationing Committee. — ^The
Bepresentative of each District shall send to the Secretary of
the Conference, not later than the 3rd day of July in each
year, upon a Schedule to be provided by him, complete lists
of (1) the arraogements provisionally made for the Stationing
1879.] aTANDING ORDERS, 291
of Miiiisters in his District, (2) the invitations accepted by
Ministers in his District to Circuits in other Districts, and (3)
all Ministers in his District for whom no arrangement has
been made ;-^f rom these lists the Secretary of the Conference
shall compile, and cause to be printed in a convenient form
for nse in the Staticming 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 to each
member of the Stationing Committee at least seven days before
the meeting of that Committee.
27. Conference Plan. — The Superintendents of those Circuits
in which the Conference may, from year to year, assemble, shall,
with the previous approbation of the President, (as ah^eady
required by rule,) complete and print, not later th^ the 15th
day of June in each year, a Flan of the order of preaching 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 that tiie
Plan thus prepared may not be violated, to the disappointment
of our friends, and to the great inconvenience of other parties
oonoemed, no Minister who attends the Conference shall be at
liberty to make an engagement to preach in any other Circuit,
either on the Sabbath, or on any other day, during the period
appointed for the meeting of the Conference, at the time for
which his name shall be inserted on the Conference Flan.
28. The Chairman of Districts are enjoined to make particular
inquiries 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.

THE ANNUAL ADDEESS
OF THE
*
CONFERENCE TO THE METHODIST SOCIETIES.
Deab Bbethbex, —
We thankfully avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded i
by this our annual Assembly, and in the name of our Jjovd::-
Jesus Christ, we send you our greeting vrith words of counsel .
and of cheer. We jdo this not merely as observing a time^t ' -
honoured usage; bub, whilst we follow the example of tiioae '.
who have gone before us, we acknowledge ourselves the
inheritors of their faith and hope, of their privil^es and V
responsibilities.
In reviewing the events of the past year, we have found . .
abundant cause for thankfulness, and yet much for hearts h-,
searching and for humility before God. We have sought to .>
learn the lessons which the experience has suggested, and we ' >
look for those brighter days of which the promises of Gtoi " .
and our hearts' desires still speak.
Much attention has been given during the year to matters ,.
of Connexional finance. It was generally felt, during the
sessions of our last Conference, that changes in our organisa-^
tion would be of small practical advantage unless they led to ,
an increase in the extent and efficiency of Church-work. The .
desire so to use the adapted machinery was rendered the mor^

intake bj tiliose specU manifestalioiis ol tlie BiTme Ih pea aa ce
with wUdi we were &Toared, woA hj th» bioUiwly kindness
and good-wiQ widi wiiidi Uie new order wis accepted^ even
where it hsd not been approTed. It was at ones seen that
the first thing required was the remoTal of debts whidi) firoin
various causes, had accumulated in connection with ssToral
deparlanents of our work. The greatness of the need became
more evid^it as enquiry proceeded, until it became certain that^
in the present craunerdal condition of the country, success was
hopeless, apart from the extraordinary aid and blessing of the
Almighty. The result, however, has justified the action taken.
We have received with gratitude the Bepoit of the Gommittee
of the Thanksgiving Fund, and find that more than X170,000
has been already promised, and that of this sum X50,000 has
been paid. We have recognised in this your liberality a service
rendered, as we doubt not, to your Master and ours ; and we
have rejoiced in the privilege of sharing with you this fellow*
ship of prayers and gifts. We commend the undertaking to
yotir continued and devout consideration, having an assurance
that whatsoever the Lord needeth will straightway be forth-
commg.
With r^;ard to our financial future, we have given, and
shall continue to give, earnest heed in order to avoid and pre-
vent, as far as possible, the accumulation of debt. It is
nedessary, however, to say that success in this direction must
chiefly depend upon the maintenance and steady increase
of annual income for our various Funds. The removal
of present liabilities will prepare the way for more extensive
effoH, and all such extension of our operations must naturally
necessitate increased annual cost. This is true, more or less,
of every part of our work ; but it has at this time a pe-
culiar significance and force in relation to our Theological
Instituti<m. The necessity for a well-tminod ministry need
not be urged. It is everywhere acknowledged. The profit
thereof wUl accrue for the benefit of yourselves and your
children. Without giving needless or undue prominence to
298 ANNUAL ABDBE8S TO THE [1870.
this subject, we have taken steps to ensure that an adequate
representation of the financial requirements of the Oomiexioii
shall be made to the Circuit Quarterly Meetings, as well as
to our Societies and Oougregations.
In dwelling thus upon questions of finance, we are not
unmindful df the anxiety and distress which prevail in conse-
quence of tiie stagnation of trade and the failure of harvests.
GThroUgh the course of another year we have known yout
sorrows and your patience, and we have shared them. Our
special duties and responsibilities cut us off, Scripturally and
necessarily, from the ordinary employments and perplexities of
commercial life, but we are not therefore ignorant of their nature,
or of the burdens which they occasion. We came out from
amongst you, but we are not separate from you. Our kindred
and our chosen friends are of your number, sharing the com-
mon pain, and tasting the bitterness of the common cup. Their
anxieties are ours, and for their sakes, as weU as for your own,
we claim, as true Pastors, to be helpers of your faith, that we
may hereafter be sharers of your joy.
At the same time it is well that, in this season of distress, sdl
should be quick to learn the lesson, ^ Blessed is the man whom
Thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of Thy law.'
The chastening may seem to be severe, but the instruction
is very precious. 'The peaceable fruit of righteousness,' by
the gladness which it brings, may make welcome, hereafter,
the memory of trials, however grievous. And when the
gloom has passed, and the now deepening darkness has fied
away before the dawning of a brighter day, joy shall enter in
the morning, and the songs of rejoicing shall be heard in the
tabernacles of the righteous. For the present, however, it is
most important that we should search after and learn the
needful lessons. It may be that national wrong-doing has
made it necessary that He whose lovingkindness is ever righteous
should correct us, as a nation, both for our own welfare and
for that of the world in which He has given us prominence.
Or there may have been formed, and may have been gaining
1879.] jiifrffOJMsr socufTUBS. sun
force among ns, social babils wbidi in His sight tlireat^n our
oidstence as a Christian peo^de, and would render us a curse
and not a Messing among the peoples of the earth. In these
things we share the common danger, and cannot separate our-
selves from the common responsibiHty. There is abundant
occasion for much searching of heart. Have not some made
too much haste to be ridi ? We would not tiiat you should
mistake our meaning. It belongs to eveiy one of you to do
whatsoever you do heartily, as unto the Lord. Fervency of
spirit and the service of GK)d belong to the duties of trade and
manufacture as certainly as to prayer and worship. You must
not be the less faithful to the responsibilities of commerce
because you hold fast the hope of a heavenly inheritance. But
lawful desires may easily degenerate into sinful lusts. When
fascinated by the glitter of gold, the soul of the Christian man
soon loses that finer spiritual perception whereby it was wont
to disceiii the beauties of holiness. Selfishness and the passion
for material wealth undermine loyalty to truth and honesty.
The uncertainties inseparable from an ordinary business-life
are gradually confounded with Hhe risks of trade/ and the
advantages of superior skill and knowledge are supposed to
condone the deceits of overreaching. Slowly but surely hatard
in the market and speculation on the Exchange induce laxity
in morals, and recklessness in action ; whilst similar ideas in-
trude themselves into the midst of more avowedly Christian
things. The venture of the merchant, or the bet of the amateur
sportsman, is followed by the illegal lottery of the philanthropist,
or the thinly-veiled gambling of the * raffle ' in the religious
bazaar. ' Brethren, these things ought not so to be.' It will
be a priceless boon if the thoughts of our commercial life are
cleansed by means of our present adversities. Nor will it be
a small advantage if we all, and especially the youth in our
families, are taught by present experience that *a man's life,
consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he
possesseth:' If this lesson is patiently learnt and intelligently

set; the Ijoftd always before you. Everywhere, and on all oc^
d^sipDS^ let bought and word and work be parts of oneunin-
torri)pted gift of loving seryioe to Him. Consecrate your family-
life to Him. Like Abraham of old, give proof of your own
fidelity and faith by commanding your children and your house-
holds after you, that i^ey • keep the way of the Lord.' Tour
little xmes are His. He claims them. Train them from
tenderest infancy as His, and for Him. Your servants are
His, and by Him are providentially entrusted to your care.
Watch over them, as knowing that for them you must give
account to your ' Master in heaven.' Let no home be without
family worship, the daily fellowship in the Word of Gbd and
prayer. There is no bond like the one which is thus supplied
and {Strengthened. The blessing of GKxl attends the reverent
aiiknowledgment of family dependence and trust, and the re-
memhrance of these hours of worship furnishes a precious guard
and guide wlien the shelter of childhood has been exchanged
fw the dangers and duties of maturer age.
Your substance, also, consecrate with a consecration equally
sineem and comprehensive. Since your bodies and your spirits
are not your own, whatever your employment, whatever your
relationslnps, you are to serve the Lord Christ. In the house
or the market, at the forge or in the mill, all that you have
belongs to Him. Muscle and brain, capital and skill, wages and
profit, ali are His since you yourselves are His. See to it that
you use all for His glory. In doing this you will not forget
that your family and poor kinsfolk, the stranger and the
fiitherless, the Church and the unevangelized world, are all
claimants upon your regard. To serve them all is your privilege,
to balance their claims and necessities is your responsibility.
But be well assured that liberality in promoting the glory of
Gfeid'by securing the well-being of your fellow-men will prove to
be, when prayerfully and intelligently ordered, the safest and
most 8atisfacix)ry investment, both for the present life and for
that which is to come. . .
This duty and privilege of contributing systematically and
802 AmVAL ADDME88 TO THE [1879.
aocoiding to ability for the maintenaQoe and increase of
Christiaii agencies, we have not shunned to urge upon yenr
attention in the times of prosperity. ;]^r have we any reaeon
now to hesitate in teaching the same doctrine. Yet we seek
not yours, but you ; and the Lord accepts your service and gifts
according to that which you have, ^and not according to that
which you have not. Hearts which have habitually given proof
of their love for the Master by generous support of the Master^s
work are pained and saddened when the power of giving &ils.
We are jealous lest in circumstances like these any of you should
be needlessly hindered. Neglect not on this account the weekly
fellowship or the service of the Sanctuary. Keep alive the holy
fir^ within you, the love which yields its all. So shall you he
the stronger for labour by reason of the restraint, and a richer
joy shall attend your restored freedom when the days of your
ability shall return.
But remember always that nothing can release you from your
individual responsibility in respect of personal example and
effort. Eor the sake of others, as well as for your own, let
your example encourage and invite a regular attendance at
the means of grace. At the week evening services, your
presence and prayers will aid us and stimulate others. In
the Class-meeting, if you share with your companions the
lessons which you, being taught of Gk)d, are learning from
day to day, a twofold gladness will be yours ; and the ex-
perience which you have won by patience may enable you to
shorten, or to smooth for others, the pathway of tribulation.
Here, as elsewhere, be not selfish in your aims. Your own well-
beii^ is not the only aim of life. Minister according to your
ability that others also may be blessed ; ' Let no man seek his
own, but every man another's weal.' In so doing you will be
discharging an obligation which is inseparable from the com-
munion of saints.
We no less desire and affectionately claim your personal
efforts in spreading the knowledge of C^ist, and especially in
bringing home to the hearts and consciences of your friends and

near kindred the claims and appeals of tbe Gospel. We are
thankful £or the multiplieation of organized agencies and for
the number of associated Christian workers. But much ean
aasd must needs be done, both by way of preparation and of
ingathering, in the course of daily life. and independently of
organization. ' Let him that heareth say, Come.' It is for
each of you, in his own appointed station, to seek to be
the means of saying the lost. Many around yon are waiting
for the help which you alone can give. The necessity for this
individual and etfiEective cooperation is felt by us the mom
deeply in presence of our diminished numbers. The fact that
in March last the members of our United Societies were fewer
by tiiree thousand than they were twelve months before, has
made us both careful and sad. Do not suppose that we allow
ourselves to be either disheartened or hindered. We do not
lose sight of the tens of thousands who have been gathered iiito
the Church on earthy and we cannot forget those who have
found safe rest in the eternal home. A rich treasure of abiding
joy awaits us yonder. Knowing that our commission is from
the Lord, we are assured that His Word, as spoken by US| does
not return unto Him void. It may not accompUsh that which
we have desired or proposed ; but for ourselves, and for all of
you who are helpers with us in His service and pati^ce« we
cherii^ the persuasion, that every message, prayerf idly and faith*
fully uttered shall prosper in that whereto He hath sent it. At
ihe same time, we regard the record of our numbers as havixig a
serious significance. It is true that much of the success attained
cannot be eetimated, and that many are rescued and nurtured
who are not numbered. ' But these things have always been.
The essential conditions of our work have not been changed.
Wa conclude that with so extensive and varied an agency as
that which our several Circuits and Societies possess, there
should be, from year to.ye«r, a steady, thou^ varying, inpreaae
in our numerical retiums. We therefore invite and urge you to
renewed and greater exertions, purposing, by the grace of Qoi^
to afford you the stimulus and aid of our guidance and example*

Whilst thas caUing you to diligence in the work of the
Church, we have no desire to hinder any of you who may lie'
caUed to the discharge of civil duties. The Christian is not ^
less a citixen of earth because he enjoys the freedom of i^e-
heavenly city. But we would have you always remember ^wt-
in politics, as in other things, ' the wrath of man workei^ no^*
the righteousness of God.' Let no party questions opmpli«»f)e-~
or disturb Church-relationships. Where brethren differ In-
opini<m let them dwell together in love. Let the honour^^i-
Chriat be to us more than t^ success of any party. Having-
a common heavenly hope, and a common purpose^ gi^nt W
others the freedom which you claim for yourselves ; and-do-nc^-
forget that you cannot be estranged from your brethren 4udess
you are first estranged from your Saviour. Be watchfiil, th^fe^
fore ; and if, during the coming year, the clamour of poUtiei^^
strife should surround you, be the more careful yourselves tc^
walk with €k>d, doing whatsoever you do 'heartily, as to tk^
Lord, and not unto men.' So long as in this spirit you use you^'*
rights as citizens, there are objects which you may well
endeavour to secure, and among th^m are the discouragement
of the habits of intemperance ; the diminution of tlie tempta^
tions thereto, especially on the Lord's day; and the purification
of the statute-book of our country by the total repeal of certain
iniquitous and immoral enactments, the tendency of which is to
demoralize the social life of our land.
We have caused to be prepared, and have authorized the
publication of, a New Hymn-book for use in our Sunday-
schools. Anything which tends to promote their- efficiency
will be followed, we doubt not, by cheering results. We are
thankful to know that so many of our Sunday-scholars are
members of our Societies, and that more than ten thousand
young persons are connected with Junior Society-classes. We
regard with satisfaction the endeavour to associate our youth
for purposes of mutual improvement, but are careful lest the
object of their association should be forgotten. It will be

. AsaPiMBLBT) in our Annual Conference, we desire to express
to you, as we have done in years past, our unabafced affection
and fraternal regard. We rejoice to remember that we are one
with jou in doctrine and discipline, and that we labour for
one common end, — the glory of God in the salvation of souls.
We have welcomed to our Conference your President, the
Rev. Dr. Rigg, who has directed our business with distinguished
ability, and whose public services have been marked by eminent
adaptation to the present times, and have produced a profound
impression ; whilst his wisdom in council has been of great
value in the discussion of the several questions which have come
before us. His companions, the Rev. William B. Pope, D.D.,
Ex-President, the Rev. Grervase Smith, D.D., and the Rev.
Ebenezer E. Jenkins, M.A., have also rendered services which
have been highly esteemed, and have commended themselves
the more fully to our confidence and affection in proporti(m as
they have become more generally known amongst us.
We rejoice with you in the harmonious and successful
working of the system of Lay-Representation which has been
recently adopted in both our Conferences, and regard it aa an
encouraging indication of general and increasing prosperify.
We have found that the introduction of laymen into our
Conference has been attended with the happiest results; prcH

new life into our various departments*
We have watched with deep interest the eflEorts put forth
in behalf of your Thanksgiving Fund, and are pleased that such
signal success has crowned this important undertaking. It is
proposed to set on foot a similar movement amongst ourselves,
which, we trust, will secure the support of our people in aH
parts of the country.
We regret that, in common with yourselves, we are compeUed
'to report a decrease in the number of persons meeting in Gasa.
At the same time, we are thankful to say that our congregations
do not exhibit decline, and that our members evince by their
liberality, notwithstanding the prevalent commercial depression,
an unabated attachment to the Church of their choice, so that
our Circuit and ConnexionarPunds have been well sustained.
The Methodist College, Belfast, though not unaffected by
the general stagnation in trade, reports continued prosperity.
The Wesleyan Oonn^^xional School, Dublin, now designated
Wesley College, has lje*<n transferred to new and very extensive
premises which have been recently erected, and the increased
accommodation provided has been already utilized. The reports
from our Sundaynschools are full of encouragement and hope
and our Day-schools are maintained with favourable results.
We mourn the removal by death, during the year, of some
valued brethren; and amongst them the late Eev. Robert G.
Jones, well known to many in your Conference as a man of an
amiable disposition and considerable ability, fervent in piety,
and universally beloved and respected by his brethren.
Seven young men, who have completed, with credit to them-
selves and satisfaction to us, their probation, have been ordained
to the full work of the Christian ministry.
You will be pleased to know that the Union between the two
principal Methodist bodiegt in Ireland, effected at the last Con-
ference, has been carried forward another stage, many of the
Circuits being now amalgamated ; so that the hope of a more
concentrated and generally effective agency is in course of being
realized.
3)S ADDRESS OF THE IRI8U CONFERENCE. [1879.
With renewed hope and confidence in the ultimate success of
that Gospel which we hold and preach, we devote ourselves
afresh to the great work which God has raised us up to accom-
plish in this land.
We send as our Bepresentatives to your Conference our
esteemed and beloved brethren — the Eev. William Guard Price,
whom w;e have nominated as the Irish member of the Dele-
gation ; the Eev. James Wilson, who was a member of the late
Primitive Wesleyan Conference; and the Eev. E. Cra^ord
Johnson. - _ . - .
We earnestly pray that the great Head of the Church may
guide all your deliberations, and crown your work in all its.
departments with His furthering blessing.

ADDRESS OF THE IRISH CONFERENCE OF 1879.
RiSYEBEKD AND DeAB BeETHBEK, —
We rejoice once again to exchange with you the friendly
greetings and mutual encouragements through which, as in so
many other ways, we are helpers of each other's faith and joy.
If others may justly claim this recognition from us, you more*
No Church-relationship can well be more sacred or more en-
dearing than that which links the Methodism of Great Britain
to that of Ireland. Our common nationality, our near neigh-
bourhood, and the numerous ties of personal friendship existing
between us, combine with our common heritage in the 'dis-^
pensation of the Gospel' committed to our Fathers to give us
the strongest possible interest in your welfare ; and that interest
is enhanced, in no small degree, by the circumstances in which
both you and we are found. * Now we live, if ye stand fast
in the Lord.'
We are bound gratefully to acknowledge the guiding Hand of
the God of our Fathers in the quietness and generaJ content-
ment which have attended the cainrying out of the administrative
changes through which we have lately passed. Thanks be to Gt>d,
the ' Giver of peace and unity,' for this inestimable blessing.
We may well expect to prove that * the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace.' Already a rich and marvellous sgirit of
liberality has been poured out upon our own people, and we
310 ANSWJSB TO THE IRISH ADDRESS. [1879.
are sure that jou will ^ abound in this grace also.' The present
depressed condition of trade and agriculture, and the general
diminution of wealth throughout th^ United Kingdom, afflictive
as they are, may enable us the more evidently to show that we
do not give to the Lord of that which costs us nothing. To
you, moreover, it happily falls to celebrate a twofold union
and a more complete consolidation of your own Methodism,
in the ending of the long separation between the late Primi-
tive "Wesleyan Connexion and yourselves, as well as in the
establishment of Lay-Eepresentation to the Conference. We
congratulate you on the now assured success of both these
movements, and pray that they may be fruitful in blessing
to you and to your children to the latest generations.
The vigorous extension of your Collegiate and other Schools,
and the high (^racter they bear, give us the liveliest satisfaction.
You must feel, even more sl^ongly tiian we do, t^t the religious
future of Ireland depends, under Gk)d, very largely upon, the
influenoes that shall prevail in her Schools and Colleges ; and
we venture to think that, especially under present circumstanced,
Methodist education cannot be made too efficient, or be too
widely spread around you.
Let us remind ourselves, however, that modes of administra-
tion and Church institutions are only means to an e/nd^ and that
end the sanctifying and saving of individual souls, and the
building up of the Body of Christ. Let us not lose sight of the
buildixig in ouir concern for the scaffolding that ^surrounds if^ of
the 'one thing needful' in tiie midst of the * many things '
desirable and useful. The fostering of a warm-hearted spiritual
fellowship within our Societies, and unceasing evangelistic ag^
gression without, are, as you well know, the two chief elements
(rf Church-progress ; and indeed these two are one. Permit us
to say (and in this we are admonishing ourselves equally with
you), that we mark with pain a growing^distaste, in some quarters,
for our primitive and long-tried modes of Christian fellowship.
In the midst of so many signs of prosperity this symptom cannot
but disquiet us. But for the hindrance thus arising it is pro-

bable that, in spite of many untoward circumstances, we should
hare been able to record an increase instead of a decrease of
membership during l^he past year, on both sides of the Channel.
Let us aniibusly study to make our Glass-meetings and other
doeial means of graee so attractive and home-like, so adapted to
the various ages and conditions of our flock, and so well under-
stood in their nature and New Testament basis, that none who
sincerely love the Lord Jesus and His people shall be able to
find any reasonable excuse for forsaking the assembling of
themselves together.
You, dear brethren, in a peculiar and most honourable sense,
are ' set for the defence of the G-ospel/ Scattered and isolated
as many of your Churches are, like a chain of forts in a hostile
country, beleaguered by enemies united and confident, and
strong in their hold on popular sympathies as nowhere else, it
is no wonder if sometimes discouragement comes upon you, and
if at times you have to labour in vain and spend your strength
for nought. Be patient, therefore, brethren : * in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not.' All the mightiest forces are on
your side. The spread of knowledge, the deepening hatred of
spiritual despotism, the growth of national intercourse and
amity, all are with you ; and above all He is with you who will
surely, and it may be speedily, avenge Him of the adversary
who has so long dared to usurp His rights, and to defile with
base idolatries the temple of His Truth.
Meanwhile you are His witnesses, uid are called not only to
bear your testimony passively, by the maintenance of your own
faith in its integrity and purity, in common with all Protestant
bodies around you, but also actively to vindicate the true gospel
of the grace of God, using to the utmost every means which
local opportunity and individual gift^s, ard the inspiration of
the Spirit of Truth who is the Spirit of the Testimony of Jesus*
may put within your power. In this holy work and warfare
may * your love abound yet more and more in knowledge and
in all judgment.' May you and we also ever learn to unit©
zeal and charity, sobriety and fervour, and be wise to discern

good even when mixed with evil, truth however disttnted and
corrupted by error, and to distinguish between the pernicious
system and its adherents and representatives, whose particular
responsibility in regard to it we cannot rightly measure, and
who must, with ourselves, ' appear before the judgment-seat of
Christ.'
Our hearts were cheered by the presence and addresses of our
old friend and brother the Eev, William Guard Price, the Eev,
James "Wilson, and the Eev. E. Crawford Johnson, your hon-
oured Eepresentatives. We hail the appearance of Mr. Wilson
in our midst as a fitting and happy proof of the union effected
amongst yourselves.
Graving stiU your brotherly sympathies and prayers, we in
turn commend you to the care of the One Head of the Church
both on earth and in heaven, the Only Chief Shepherd and
Bishop of souls ; beseeching Him to ' fulfil ' in you*' all the good
pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power: that
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you,
and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord

ADBEESS
OP THE
CONFEEENCE OF THE EVA^N^GELICAL METHODIST
CHURCH OF FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND,
TO THE
BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 187P.
(Translation,)
HONOUBED AM) DEAB BBBTHEEN^, —
. Assembled for our twenty-sixth Conference, at Lausanne,
not far from the town which was the birthplace of the holy
John Fletcher, we desire to express to you, according to our
yearly custom, the feelings of love and gratitude which bind
us to you and to the Wesleyan-Methodist Church of Great
Britain.
Once more we have felt how sweet and how strong are
these ties, as we learned what a cordial welcome you gave
to our Delegates to the Bradford Conference. But we ha^e
been still more touched by your kindness in sending to our
Conference as your Representative, a man who is one of the
Ihinces of our Methodist Israel, the Rev. Dr. "W. Morley
iHinshon. His presence in our midst has been the living proof
of the interest which you take in our work, and of the fact that
you do not estimate its real importance by the smaUness of the
success hitherto obtained.
Your honoured Representative has taken a lively interest in
our afhirs, and has greatly assisted us by his wise and prudent
counsels. Nor do we fear to be presumptuous in thinking that
in him French Methodism will have a successful advocate and
314 ADDRESS OF THE METHODIST CONFERENCE [1879.
an influential friend. He will be able to tell you that, although
the difficulties with which we contend are great and numerous,
we nevertheless remain faithfully attached to that ' Christianity
in earnest ' which has borne, for one hundred and forty years,
the name of Methodism, and to those Providential methods
of action which have for their aim * to spread Scriptural holi-
ness throughout the land.' We preach the same doctrines
that the successors of Wesley everywhere preach, and we
practise that special form of ecclesiastical discipline of which the
efficiency has been proved in all lands.
It is true' that these excellent methods have not had, in our
hands, as great success as that which has attended them else-
where. The weakness of our faith is no doubt in part the
cause, but the cause is also to be found in those really formid-
able difficulties with which we meet in France. We hare
constantly to contend with Sioman Catholicism and with
Infidelity,— those two foes which wage bitter war upon each
other, but which also know how to combine their efforts to
fight "against the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ. Among the
Beformed populations of the South, the struggle wears another
aspect, but is no less keen. There we meet with a large
number of Protestants of the most contrary theological views,
who unite in opposing Methodism, which . they represent as
being a foreign importation of suspicious origin. - ,
' At the present. time .wo. feel ourselves called to turn j3ur.
etforfe towards the masses of nominal Catholics. It is amongst
fh^jtjiafc. the needs are. th^ greatest and the prospects thj^
most encouraging; , Th$ entire population of certain parts ii
turning away from Eomanism and seeking a purer faith. Every-
where, in the towns and in the country districts. Evangelical
preaching is asked for and heartily received. The establish-
ment of the Bepublic will ensure to us, we hope, complete re-
ligious liberty.
The attention of the Conference has been specially directed
to this subject. The opening sermon laid upon our consciences
the wants of France and our duties towards her; and two

carefully prepared reports were presented on the possibility of
setting apart a cer^in, number of our prese'nt staff of agents
foiljie'w aggressive work. Indeed, the Conference has already
iQQide a partial comiji^ncement in that ftirection. One ininister
ha;8 been taken from each of our Southern districts to strengthen
our missionary work in the North. This step will necessarily
inflict a certain amount of suffering on some of our Societies,
and over-burden some ministers whose strength is already
sufficiently taxed. But this change of front appeared to us
to be indicated by Divine Providence ; our Southern Churches
themselves understand in some degree the necessity for it, and
we may hope that far from being shaken by it, they will, make
resolute efforts to develop their resources both of men and moiiey .
It is in order to encourage them to do so by uniting them
more completely with us in our :work, that, .following ther ex-
ample that you have given ns j we have invited Lay Bepresenta-
tives to take part in the deliberations of'onr Confisrence. . These
brethren, elected by the District Meetings, are men attached to
our Church, and serving it diligently in the position in which
God htas placed them. Their presence in our ranks has
strengthened and encouraged us. By heing more completely
united with their pastors in the general management of the
work, our laymen will more fully understand the duty of re-
lieving us from those financial responsibilities which too often
weigh us down. We must, however, do justice to our
members by declaring that many of them make great sacrifices
to sustain the work. But the number of our members does
not exceed two' thousand r*aJm5st^li^ "of them belong to
the working-class, and many have been ruined by the agricul-
tural crisis in the South, and the commercial crisis in the
North. So that, notwithstanding our efforts to attain financial
independence, we must, for a long time, still have recourse to
the generous help of our English brethren, especially for the
support of our evangelistic work in Catholic districts.
For these new fields of labour, Q-od supplies us with well-
qualified workmen. Our Students' Home is now filled with

gifts inspire ns with lively hopes as to the success of their
future career. This year wo have had the joy of receiving
into full connexion two candidates, sons of ministers. You
will unite with us in blessing God for these tokens of His
favour.
This Conference has been one of the best that we have yet
held. There has reigned amongst us a spirit of faith in G-od
and of hope for the future, which augurs well. It seems to us
that our work is entering upon a new period. We believe that
God will be with us and bless us, and that you will continue
to us your brotheriy cooperation*
We have re-elected to the office of President of the Confe-
rence our highly-esteemed brother the Bey. James Ho<»rt, and
we respectfully request you to ratify our choice.

BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1879, -
• • •
TO THB ■ ,
ADDRESS OP THE CONPEBBNCB OF THE EVAN-
GELICAL METHODIST CHUECH OF FEANCB
AND SWITZERLAND, 1879,
Revebend xtkd Dxab Bbethbek, —
It has once more given us great happiness to receive your
Annual Address ; and we gladly avail ourselves of this oppor-
tunity to express our affectionate sympathy with you, and
our deep interest in your work. "We should have been very
glad to welcome among us one of your own number, but we
appreciate the characteristic disinterestedness with which, in
view of the existing financial distress, you have refrained even
from appointing the customary Representative to our Confer-
ence. As you have anticipated, however, your cause has suffered
no loss by being placed in the hands of Dr. Funshon, whose
instructive, zealous, and eloquent statement, at the open session
of the Conference, excited the liveliest interest, and brought
vividly before us the nature and importance of your work.
We are well aware that since the overthrow of the Roman
Catholic supremacy of Spain, France has been the right arm of
the Papacy. Nearly every important gain made by Rome since
the Reformation has been won for her by the political power of
318 AJySW:EB OF THE BRITISH CONFERENCE TO [1879
France. The spiritual forces of Eome have also been recruited
mainlj from your land. At the present time France contributes
a larger sum to the Propaganda than all other Boman Oatiiolic
countries combined, and the missionary activities of the Bomish
Church in all parts of the world are sustained chiefly by the
fervent zeal of French priests and French nuns. The real
o^tre of Boman Catholicism is not in Italy, but in France. In
the great battle between primitive and corrupt Christianity, you
occupy the key to the position, and have to bear the brunt of
thA conflict. Your difficulties are a measure of the hodour
which the ^ Captain of the host of the Lord ' conferred on you,
whev-He assigned to you the chief place in the field. * ' ' _
You speak of the smallness of the success which you have
hitherto attained ; but we do not forget that the work you -have
done in the past has been of a kind that could not be tabulated.
You have supplied other Churches with Pastors, Professors, and
Teachers ; and have been engaged rather in leavening French
society with pure evangelical influences, than in building up a
separate and visible Church of your own. "We share your con-
viction, that the time has now fully come for you to consolidate
your work on our own distinctive ecclesiastical basis. A due
recognition of the duty of every Christian to contribute syste*
matically , and regularly as the Lord has prospered him,
towards the maintenance of the Church by which he is no^ished
and protected, is a primary condition of vigorous activity and
progress.. Kqt less essential is the judicious enforcement of an
^ppro^iate discipline. We believe that the symmetry and
efficiency of our Connexional organization will specially com-
mend themselves tp the love x)f logic and order which dis-
tinguishes tb^ French mind. We are deeply persu^ed that
our characteristic institutions— especially the Class-*meeting-«—
were never more needed or- more serviceable than to-day. ,We
are egually convinced that the peculiarly fervent and joypus
character of the spiritual life of Methodism supplies the great
Protestant need of France.
We look forward with confident hope to the results of your
,1879] TUE ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH CONFERENCE. 319
'chasge of front.' Already, as we rejoice to know, the most
gratifying success attends your special efforts aiodog the great
:masses in the chief centres of population. We are delisted
to learA that the four mission-stations recently opened in Paris
are crowded, and that similar missions are about to be started
in Bouen and Havre. We believe that in this direction lies
the road along which you will travel to the great future that
awaits Methodism in Fnmce.
: : .We trust that the bright anticipations with which you have
welcomed I^ay Sepresentatives into yourmidst, wiU be ahynddHtly
realized, and we are devoutly grateful to Almighty God that in
your case, as in our own, this important step has been taken
with practical unanimity, and with the best prospects of success.
In the midst of almost unparalleled commercial and agricul-
tural distress, we are able to sympathize with your Churches
which are enduring similar calamities. We earnestly pray that
these common sufferings may be sanctified to the spiritual
benefit of both nations.
No part of your Address has given us more intense gratifica-
tion than the paragraph which states that your Students' Home
is now filled with godly and gifted young men. It is of great
importance that you should be, and appear to be, a native
Church. Nothing could be more hopeful than the prospect of
filling your pulpits with pastors bom and bred Upon your own
soil. May the mantle of John Fletcher fall upon all the young
men who are now preparing, in his native district, to enter your
ranks!
With respect to ourselves, we have to lament, like you, over
a decrease in the members of our Societies ; but this painful and
discouraging fact is outweighed by many signs of the presence
and power of Q-od, especially by the unbroken peace which
reigns throughout our whole Communion, and by the unpre-
cedented liberality in connection with our Thanksgiving Fund,
which must make the last year memorable in our history. The
blessing of our God and Saviour is being graciously manifested
in our Conference Sessions, and we are girding ourselves for
320 , ANSWUB TO THE FRENCH ADDRESS. [187l>.
energetic service in that new era of life and growth upon which
we are entering.
We have great pleasure in ratifying your re-election of the
Eev. James Hocart — ^a beloved and honoured brother — ^as Pre-
sident of your next Conference.

ADDEESS
OF
NONCONFOEMIST MINISTERS IN BIEMINQHAM,
TO THE
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE WESLEYAN-
METH0DI8T CONFERENCE ASSEMBLED IN
BIEMINGHAM, JULY, 1879.
We, the Ministers of various Evangelical Churches in Bir-
mingham, desire to express on our own behalf, and on behalf
of our Churches and Congregations, the heartiest affection for
the Wesleyan-Methodists of England, Wales, and Scotland,
represented in the Conference now assembled.
"We give God thanks for the grace bestowed on the Founders
of your Society, who not only reclaimed tens of thousands
of the English people from gross irreligion and vice, but in an
age when the fire of English Christianity was almost quenched,
and when its faith seemed slowly sinking into decay, re-kindled
the earnestness, and re-animated the courage, of those Churches
which were the heirs and trustees of the traditions of nobler
times. As the result of the revelation of the great power of
God in the religious revival which the Founders of Wesleyan
Methodism did so much to promote, the fidelity of all the
Evangelical Churches in this country to the creed of their
fathers has, during the last century and a quarter, been renewed
and confirmed, and their spiritual vigour has been greatly
augmented; while the rapid growth of Methodism itself is
21

probably unexampled in the history of Christendom. In
England, Scotland, and Ireland, in the British Colonies, and,
above all, in the United States of America, the yarious com*
munities formed by Hhe People called Methodists' are now
among the most numerous and powerfid of Protestant
Churches.
May we, without presumption, venture to say that your
numbers and your resources are the measure of your respon-
sibilities? In the struggle with superstition, with unbelief,
and with religious indifference, to which in this, as in every
preceding age, the Church of Christ is called, you and the
Churches which are your nearest kindred, and which bear your
household name, sustain a great part. The fortunes of Protestant
Christendom on both sides of the Atlantic are largely in your
hands.
We rejoice to believe that, through the strong help of Grod,
you are equal to the perils and to the tasks of your position.
In your unshaken loyalty to the central truths of the evan-
gelical faith, and your vehement antagonism to all sacerdotal
pretensions; in the energy with which you are maintaiaing
your Missions in foreign lands ; in the magnificent generosity
with which, even in these disastrous times, your people have
contributed to yoiu* Connexional enterprises ; in the untroubled
harmony which we believe prevails throughout your Societies, we
recognize abundant proofs of your unabated strength.
We desire to express our admiration of the sagacity which
has acknowledged that the most venerable and most powerful
institutions cannot retain their life and efficiency except by
submitting to changes suggested by the changing conditions
under which their work has to be carried on. The admission
to Conference, on equal terms, of the Lay Bepresentatives of
your Societies has demonstrated that, while you reverence the
wisdom with which the saints of other times did the work of
Christ, you believe that the same wisdom is granted to those
who seek it in our own days, and that G-od is as near to you
as He was to your fathers. In the recent changes in your
1879.] ADDRESS OF NONCONFORMIST MINISTERS. 323
organization we find the assurance that Wesleyan-Methodism
retains much of the elasticity of its ardent youth ; and in these
changes we see also the bright promise of a free and vigorous
development of its rich and varied resources through many
future generations.
We trust, Eeverend Sir, that the meetings of Conference
over which it is your distinguished honour to preside may con-
tribute greatly to the extension and stability of Wesleyan-
Methodism in this country, and we pray that the grace of our
Lord Jesus Cfirist, the love of God, and the communion of the
Holy Spirit may be with you, and with all the Churches repre-
sented in this Assembly,
We are, Beverend Sir,

]Mat it please Toub Majesty, —
"We, the Conference of the People called Methodists, in the
Connexion established by the Eev. John "Wesley, A.M., in
Annual Session assembled, beg humbly to approach Your Majesty
with loyal and heartfelt congratulations on the marriage of
His Eoyal Highness the Duke of Connaught with Her Boyal
Highness the Princess Marie Louise of Prussia.
In common with our fellow-subjects we have been led to
entertain sentiments of admiration and respect for the character
of His Eoyal Highness. "We rejoice in the union between a
son of Your Majesty and a daughter of that royal house, which
has been so long and honourably distinguished for its devotion
to those Protestant principles we hold so dear.
Most earnestly do we pray that the blessing of Almighty
God may rest upon the Duke and Duchess, so that their mar-
riage may not only be conducive to their mutual happiness and
the well-being of Your Majesty's realm, but may also unite the
two great Empires in closer bonds.
"We humbly desire to express our continued loyal devotion
to Your Majesty, as our rightful Sovereign, and we ever pray
ihat Almighty God may pour upon you His rich and constant
benediction.

To THE Qqeen's Most Excellent Majesty.
Mat it please Youb Majesty, —
We, Tour Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, Ministers in
the Connexion established by the Eev. John Wesley, A.M., now
assembled in our Annual Conference, beg to approach Your
Majesty with the expression of our deep and respectful sym-
pathy in the great sorrow which befell Your Majesty by the
early death of Her Soyal Highness the G-rand Duchess of
Hesse-Darmstadt.
We shall long continue to cherish with grateful admiration
the memory of those talents, accomplishments, and deeds of
self-sacrificing love, which shed such lustre on Her Eoyal High-
ness's character, and so greatly endeared her to the people of
her own and her adopted land. Her remarkable filial devotion
to Your Majesty in a season of the deepest affliction must have
caused her removal on the anniversary of that sorrow to be a
grief of unusual intensity.
It is our sincere and earnest prayer that the God of aU com-
fort may graciously continue to vouchsafe that needful support
and consolation which we doubt not Your Majesty has already
richly experienced.
We humbly ofEer to Your Majesty the assurance of our loyal
and dutiful attachment to' your person, and we trust that Your
Majesty may long be spared to reign over the nation in peace
and righteousness.

The Fund was established in 1861. During the lirst ten
years a large amount, not only of preparatory but of actual
work was accomplished. The entire provision which had been
made by Metropolitan Methodism for the population previously
to 1861 was about thirty-nine thousand sittings. During the
first ten years of the Fund's operations twenty-one large Chapels
were erected ; two existing Chapels were enlarged ; t\^o School
Chapels were bmlt, and two commodious Chapels were in course

of erection at the end of the tenth year. Provision was thus
made for twenty-seven thousand more people, at a cost of
nearly ^150,000; towards which the Fund provided by Loans
and Grants nearly jC33,000. Several sites in addition to the
above were secured at a cost to the Fund, including the West-
minster Chapel, of more than .£3,000.
In 1870 the proposal was made to build fifty additional
Chapels within ten years. This will not be fully accomplished ;
but during the last nine years twenty-nine large Chapels have
been built, or are now in course of erection; the plans of
another have been accepted, and the Grants and Loans voted :
so that at the close of the next year at least thirty Chapels,
holding thirty-one thousand people, will be provided. Sites for
twelve other Chapels have been secured, and sixteen iron or
temporary structures have been raised in connection with the
Fund.
It may be well to add that since our operations commenced
more than seventy other places, some larger, some smaller, have
been built by the London Methodists, unassisted by the Fund ;
so that within twenty years from the inauguration of this effort,
at least eighiy thousand additional sittings will be provided, —
».«., our Church accommodation secured within twenty years will
be more than twice and a half as much as was provided in the
preceding eighty years.
We are about to enter upon the last of the ten years.
Whether any or what changes may then take place, the Com-
mittee knows not. We are far from the goal at which we have
aimed j but if the proposed fifty Chapels were really erected, we
should have to say that the necessities of the Metropolis are
greater and more pressing to-day than when the Fund was
begun. While we are devoutly thankful for the success vouch-
safed, we are overwhelmed with a sense of responsibility con-
cerning the millions of London.

Six Schools, having an average attendance of 476 scholars,
are reported by the District Committees as having been dosed
during the year ; and five others, having an average attendance
of 809 scholars, are reported as having been transferred daring
the year to School Boards. Two Infant Departments have also
been merged in the Senior Schools, making a total reported de^
crease of 13 School Departments. Eight new Schools have,
however, been opened during the year; consequently the net
reported decrease of Schools is five. It will be observed that
this is a smaller decrease than was reported last year.
In addition to the new Schools added, new or enlarged and
improved premises have been provided for many Schools, and
the Committee have been glad to assist the undertakings by
G-rants in aid of renewed or additional outfit.
The prosperity of a good proportion of the Schools is indicated
by the decrease in the amount of debt upon the current account
of Schools which is reported this year. That amount, as was
stated last year, is less serious than it might seem to be, since it
is known that the sums returned as ' Outstanding Balances of
previous years ' often include by mistake the amounts advanced
by Treasurers to meet current expenditure, such amounts being
fully covered by Gk)vemment G-rants which are being earned.

April. It also records the correspondence between the Educa-
tion Committee and H.M. G-ovemment in reference to Schools
declared to be * unnecessary,' and the result of that correspond ^
ence ; and also correspondence respecting the due protection of
the religious liberties of children in ' C^ified Efficient Schools '
in which no Conscience Clause is enforced. In view of the in-
creased cost of School furniture and the competition with which
Schools have now to contend in the matter of outfit, the Com-
mittee haye raised by XIO the. maximum amount of Grants
payable to Schools in aid of outfit. On receiving the report of
H.M. Inspector of his aniiual visit to the Westminster College,
the Committee resolved to raise the entrance fees to the two
Training Colleges as follows : — Westminster, from XIO to
X12 10«. ; Southlands, from five guineas to seven guineas.
The Income of the Fund for the year was X8,468 13*. 9c?. ;
beiing an increase of £600 upon that of the previous year. The
Treasurers have also received with much thankfulness from the
Treasurers of the Thanksgiving Fund five payments amounting
to a moiety of the estimated debt of £14,000, and they look
forward to the speedy extinction of the debt.
Since the Conference of 1878, Grants in-Aid have been pro-
mised by the Committee as follows : — (1.) Connexional Sunday-
School Union, £800 ; (2.) Outfit of Day Schools, to 31 School
Departments, £1,215 ; (3.) Benewal of Outfit of Day Schools,

Necessitous Schools, 21 Grants, £402. The Committee have
also promised one Grant under the Besolution of the last Con-
ference (3ftnu^e«, p. 240, sec. 2), to a School to which the Edu-
cation Department has refused to make an immediate Grant on
the ground that it is deemed to be an unnecessary School.

The work of the ITnion has been satisfactory during the past
year.
At the May District Committees it was reported that there
was an increase in the number of Schools connected with the
TTnion of 222 on the year. From many parts of the country,
and from distant parts of the world, the Committee have re-
ceived proofs that their work is appreciated and useful. Some
of the Colonies have arranged to secure our Lesson Helps in
advance, and to use our Notes, etc., and whilst we have received
liberal pecuniary assistance from more than two thousand
Schools at home, even Uussia has furnished us \^tt a sub-
scriber, aild we have sent to Spain some of our te3ds 6jid other
appliances, the texts having been translated into the Spaiiish
language. We have also arrangements pending for their supply
in Italian, Chinese, and Kaffir. The Sunday-schools of other
Churches also have become frequent purchasers of our pro-
ductions. Large numbers of our Cartoons, Banners, Texts, etc.,
h^ve been sold to adorn the walls of schools 6f almost all
denominations of Christians ; to comfort and instruct the sick
in Hospitals; and to make even the workhouses look more
cheerftil than they have been ; and several of the noblest asylums
in the land have purchased considerable quantities both of
cartoons and wall-texts, and tre have received gratifying testi-
monies respecting their value.
The Sunday-School statistics of the year are on the whole
satisfactory. There are increases in the number of scholars,
etc., but there are decreases in attendance. These decreases are
easily accounted for by the unusual inclemency of the weather
on Sundays for several months.
The past has been the first year of the formation of Junior
Society-<;las8es under the authority of the Conference^ and it is
too soon to report much of their working ; but it is satisfactory
to know that in many Schools they have been adopted, with
promise of extensive usefulness. The Committee express the
most earnest hope that whenever practicable, such Classes will
be formed in connection with all ^ur Sundays-schools* It is
340 EDUCATION. [1879.
most important to remember that however near to perfection
our organization may approach, if Sunday-school work fails to
bring scholars into the membership of the Christian Church, it
lamentably fails to accomplish its highest duty ; and if Metho-
dist Sunday-school teachers fail to bring the children of our
Schools into our Society, they fail to do that which should be
their direct aim, and they leave their charge without the in-
estimable privilege and the blessed safeguard that might prove
of more value to them than mind can conceive.
The Committee has been very busily engaged on the prepa-
ration of the new Suilday-school Hymn-book. It is hoped
that a few copies of the first edition will be ready to be laid
on the table of the Conference before its sessions are dosed.
Satisfactory arrangements of a business nature have been made*
between the Conference Office and the Sunday-School Union
with reference to the publication of the Hymn-book.
The third Sunday in October was again observed as a day for
special prayer and services for the benefit of our Schools. In
many places there were most blessed results. The last Con-
ference authorised the Committee to announce its approyal of
the proposal that the third Sunday of October in each year
should be set apart for special prayer on behalf of Sunday-
Schools, and our young people generally.

APPENDIX V.
ABSTEACT OF THE EEPOBT
OP
THE CHILDEEN'S HOME AND OEPHANAGE.
The present position of the Children's Home, financially, is
more satisfadory than for several years past.
First. — Ab to the debt. It was stated in the Eeport of last
year that the debt then stood at ^2,375. This was the net
amount then required to balance the assets and liabilities of the
Institution. But in the month of October it was thought that
not less than £4,500 would enable the Committee to discharge
all its liabilities. This amount was voted by the Committee of
the Thanksgiving Fund. Moreover, in the calculation of last
year's Eeport, the debt remaining was brought down to £2,375,
by taking as an asset stock amounting to £1,890 4s. 7d. It is
very desirable that the financial position of the Home should be
so improved as to warrant the Committee in no longer calcu-
lating this as an asset, but allowing it to stand rather as in lieu
of working capital.
Secondly. — ^As to the current income and expenditure.
The Subscriptions and Donations of the year amount to
£6,837 2s. 2d., as against £5,998 0^. 6d. of the previous
Eeport ; but since last year's Statement only covers a period of
nine months, it vnll be seen that this year's figures represent a
slight diminution of income from this source. Further, the
Christmas appeal, through the Methodist newspapers, produced
only £279, as against £450. On the other hand, the Collections
made in Sunday-Schools amount to £1,955 18s. Sd.; an increase
of £206 over the yield of the last year.
Large and generous, however, as is the total amount con-
tributed by the Sunday-Schools, the Committee are convinced
that the income of the Home from this source may be yet largely
342 ^232? CHILDBEirS HOME [1879,
increased. Only 1,552 Schools have this year made any offering
for this work, and there are some 6,000 Methodist Schools ia
this country, not to mentioi^ the nuiny schools belonging to
other denominations, which do, or might, help our work.
A careful examinaticm of the aocouots wiU show that the
income of the year has exceeded the ordinary expenditure by
only X282, whilst the extraordinary expenditure has amounted
to j£2,754. This fact has called for very serious and earnest
consideration from the Committee; and arrangements huve
been made during the year, which it is believed will reduce the
ordinary expenditure of next year by several hundreds of pounds,
without lessening the number of child^n maintained at the Home.
The expen4itures of the yeajr other ^l^an or^iuary, show a
deficit of ^62,471 12». 2d. Of this amount, however, ^563 7«. 4c?,
has been paid to the Debt BedUiCtion Fund, and ^laed in the
discharge of liabilitiefi. The sum of ^03 has be^u p^d for
interest ; and this charge is being riipidly ]^uced fs ^ debt m
paid. Further, of the ,£1,642 6«. \d. expended (m t}ie JProperty
Account, the entire amount, with the exception qf £310 8«« Id,^
is of a special character, and not likely tp f>oc^p 4gain. «£650
is expenditure at Milton, in the erection of t^he n^W:School-room,
covered playground, and dormitories, v^prl^s. w^icji, ^ough paid
for this year, were undertaken before the year commenced:
this last remark appUes also to the. amount expended under the
same head at London. The Far^i improvements at O^gwcurth
are not completed, but special items pf incon^e will be availa^e
towards these expenses.
On the whole, the Committee, are of opinion^ that if the
income of the next year do not fall below that of the last, the
operations of the Home upon its present scale will be conducted
without incurring any debt.
The Committee received with great gratification intelligence
of the munificent offer of Mr. Jevons to devote «£9,000 towanls
the establishment, as a new Branch of this work, of an Orphan-
age for the children of godly parents. This offer was made
through the Principal, who is also one of the Honorary General
1879.] AND 0BPMAN4.QM, 343
Seoretacies of the Thaokagivijig IHmd. Xts Qcoienil ConuQJttee
heartily recommend the Conferenoe to accept My. Jevons's
offep, and to meet his gift by aanptio^i^g ^ G^v^i pf ^l^tOOO
for this new enterprise.
The Committee of the Home will be prej^aj:e4 tq undertake
the responsibility of carrying on this addition to their work,
with the understanding that at first the new Branch must begin
on a small and modest scale, and must be enlarged only cls the
increase of annual income justifies it. D^ie^ntp^e, they wish to
express their sense of obligation to the generous donor at
Birmingham, and to the Copamittee of the Thanksgiving Fund,
which has so handsomely met his challenge.
5^he moral and religious results of the work are those which
most deeply interest the Committee; and they will be fully
dealt with }n the Eeport of the Principal, which has been
received by the Committee, and will be sent to subscribers.
Meantime, the general and statistical information following
will summarize the present position of the work.
The Children's Home and Training School still consists of '
four main Branches : —
1. Bonner-road, London.
2. Edgworth, in Lancashire.
3. Milton next Q-ravesend.
4. Hamilton, in Canada.
And still, in connection with the Lqndon Branch, are carried
on the important departments known as —
5. Missions, and
6. Training School for Workers.
There have been received into t)ie various Branches of the
Home since its commencement 906 children — ^via., 649 boys,
and 257 girls. Deducting those i^ow resident in the Home,
it appears that 450 children have gone forth from our care into
the world. They have been absent from us for periods ranging
from a few months to eight years. After careful examination of
these cases, we have divided them into the following classes :
Criminal : those who have come within the grasp of the law.
344 THE CHILDREN*8 HOME [1879.
Bad: those who have become decidedly vicious in their
habits.
Moderate: those who are living in a maimer whi^ does
not distinguish them at all from the average of the
labouring classes.
Good : honest, diligent, and generally satisfactory.
Excellent : those who have distinguished themselves by thrift,
diligence, push, high moral character, and a steadj and
consistent Christian profession.
Of the total number received, 14 have died in the Home, a
percentage of 1| in a period of ten years.
Eespecting the eternal welfare of all these we have strong
and well-grounded hope. Four have died since they left us.
34 boys and 2 girls, having been trained in other Institutions,
have passed through our Canadian Branch. Of these —
1 boy has proved Criminal.
• 7 boys have proved Bad.
13 boys and 1 girl are classed as Moderate.
12 boys and 1 girl are classed as Good.
3 boys are classed as Excellent.
Further, 33 boys and 24 girls have been placed in the charge
of relatives, when these had proved able to care for them.
Six boys absconded shortly after being received.
Of 205 boys and 110 girls sent forth, the classification is as
follows : —
Criminal— none.
Bad — 4 boys and 4 girls.
Moderate— 62 boys and 11 girls.
Good — 111 boys and 54 girls.
Excellent — 38 boys and 41 girls.
The percentage is as follows : —

It would appear, then, that about 2 per cent, of the whole
number of children who have left have turned out badly ; the
rest will compare not unfavourably with the average of the
labouring population, whilst 77 per cent, of the whole are en-
titled to the character, ' Good ' or * Excellent.' When the
circumstances of many of these children in early life, their
hereditary tendencies, and the force of early habits are remem-
bered, such a result cannot be considered as other than satis-
factory. Experience seldom shows a better average of results
in any class of the community ; and these results in the case of
such children as we are dealing with would astonish us most
who know them best, if we did not remember that the excel-
lency of the power is His to Whom all glory belongs.
The children now resident in the Home number 456 — boys
and girls.

APPENDIX VI.
EXTENSION OP METHODISM IN GBEAT BRITAIN.
Thb Committee report, with much satisfactiou, th^t during
the past year 174 appUcatioos for help have been considered,
and G-rants amounting to X9,538 have been made to 133 cases,
providing an additional chapel accommodation for 22,152
hearers.
As in former years, the greater number of these cases are
small village chapels, none providing accommodation for more'
than 300 hearers, some, indeed, for less than 100. In many
instances, but for the ^truth which is preached in these plain
houses of prayer, the neighbourhood would know little or
nothing of that Gospel which is ' the power of God unto
salvation ' ; and multitudes therefore rejoice in their erection.
Accounts continually reach the Committee of the ignorance and
spiritual destitution of the districts on behalf of which they
receive applications for help ; and it is evident that the work
they have undertaken is of the greatest importance, and likely,
if persevered in, to result in widespread blessings to the
community.
The total number of applications presented to the Committee
since the formation of the Fund is 457, of which 344 have been
considered, and 235 have received the promise of Grants
amounting to <£17,079 128. 6d. These 235 cases provide an
additional accommodation of 42,488 sittings.
At the Conference of 1878, the total sum reported towards
the Fund for the Extension of Methodism was £46,551 1*. 2d,
which has since been increased to X47,470 ; and this amount
added to £45,000 appropriated by the Committee of the
Thanksgiving Pund, justifies the belief that the available
sources of the Extension Fund will be suiEcient to accomplish
the work for which it was originally established.

APPENDIX VIII.
ABSTBACT OP BEPOET UPON THE EXAMINATION
OP PBEACHEBS ON TEIAL.
Pbes£nted to the Cohteebncb, 1879.
The Examination was held, in accordance with the directions
of the Conference, on April 2nd, 1879, when 214 Probationers
were examined. Eight more were subsequently examined, on
the 18th of June, making the total niunber of examinees, 222.
Five Preachers on Trial were unable to take any Examination
this year on account of ill-health.
The general result of the Examination of the Probationers of
each year was as follows : —
FiEST Tbae. — 50 were examined : of whom 5 wrote two
papers only, 39 wrote three, and only 6 wrote the full number of
fou/r. 151 papers were written : of these, 34 weYe marked 3+,
29 obtained higher marks than 3+, 81 obtained lower marks
than 34., and 7 were failures.
Second Yeab. — 61 were examined: of whom 1 wrote tivo
papers, 7 wrote three, 29 wrote four, and 24 wrote Jive, 259
papers were written : of these 52 were marked 3+, 85 obtained
higher marks, 115 obtained lower marks than 3+, and 7 were
failures.
Third Teae. — 49 were examined: of whom 2 wrote three
papers, Q2 wrote fou/r, and 15 wrote Jive. 209 papers were
written : of these 39 gained 3+, 74 obtained higher marks, 92
obtained lower marks, and 4 were failures.
PouBTH Yeab. — 62 were examined t of whom 1 wrote two
papers, 3 wrote three, 38 wrote four^ and 20 wrote ^ve. 265
papers were written : of these 63 gained the average mark of
. 3+, 113 gained higher marks than 3+$ and 79 obtained lower
marks ; no paper was a failure*
352 PREACHERS ON TRIAL. [1879.
The result of the Examination is not satisfactory. The
average of marks gained is considerably below that of last
year, and the decline extends to Probationers of each one of
the years ; that is, Probationers of the. first, second, third,
and fourth years respectively gained in 1879 a lower average of
marks than Probationers of the corresponding years in 1878.
It is gratifying, however, to find that while the fourth year's
Probationers of 1879 did not obtain equally high marks
with those of 1878, the young men named have made a con-
siderable advance upon what they did in their ifdrd year of
probation. Then nine of them were absent from the Examina-
tion ; this year not one of them was absent. Of the papers
written by them in their third year, 5J per cent, were failures,
in their fourth year no one paper was a failure, and the
average grade of marks gained by them this year was decidedly
better. The number of their papers marked 3, 4-|., and 4
was smaller by 7| per cent., the number gaining 3+ was
larger by 7| per cent., and the number gaining higher marks
than 3+ was 5J per cent, greater. This is the most satisfactory
feature of this year's Examination.

ABSTEACT OP THE EEPORT ON THE DISTEICT
SUSTENTATION FUNDS.
These Funds have now been in existence five years, having
been inaugurated at the Conference of 1874.
Thirty out of the thirty-three Districts in G-reat Britain have
es1«.bli8hed District Sustentation Funds.
The total amount of subscriptions received during the last
five years is £14,220. Grants have been made to Districts,
amounting to £13,701. The amount raised in the aided Dis-
tricts to meet Grants is £11,003.
The Slim of £24,477, being an average of £4,895 per annum,
has been paid in the several Districts in augmentation of the
allowances to Minfeters, as the result of the establishment of
this Fund.
The object contemplated by the Fund on its establishment
was to secure, if possible, a minimum of £150 to each married
Minister, with the customary addition of house-rent, taxes, etc.,
and a minimum of £80 to each unmarried Minister. Five years
6inoe there were 372 Circuits paying less than the proposed
minimum. The number is now reduced to 217.
