CHURCH CONTENTIONS.
GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE H. E. CHURCH
OF. THE UNITED STATES.
NINETEENTH DAY—.HORNING SESSION.
Conference opened at the usual hour, Bishop Scott in
the chair.
En=
Rev. Col. Moody, who had the floor at the time of ad
journment on Monday, again took the floor for the pur
.pose of making an explanation. He said that when the
report of the Committee on Itinerancy was under con
_Mderation, Mr. Lanahan had favored. the adoption of
the proposed amendment" to Strike out the word • dis
loyal.'' 'Upon this Col Moody made a few remarks, in
which his intention was to say that Mr. Lanahan was
in sympathy with this particular man to whom the mat
ter referred. Brother Lanai= then made a personal
attack, for which he was called to order by the Chair,
and by so doing his remarks were retracted. -To this
the speaker replied that he would rather appear on the
record as endeavoring to affix the merited stigma
-on the secesh secretary who had absconded with
the journals of the Baltimore Conference . , than
to appear as in sympathy with a rebel, in shield
ing Lim from the merited stigma. He did not charge at
that time that Mr. Lanahan was In sympathy. He
-wished to withdraw the opinion expressed on Monday
relative to his sympathy with disloyalty, as that opi
`Dion wee mainly based 'upon - Mr. Lanahan's action in
the vote of the Baltimore Conference, by which a series
of loyal resolutions were laid upon the table. He was
among the number so to vote. The speaker read the
-charges of disloyalty preferred in the papers against the
Baltimore Conference, although it was said that Mr.
a.,anaban and some others, -who voted to lay on. the
table, were not to be considered as disloyal, ge Wee
glad to find that he so resented a suspicion of disloy
alty • although he, the speaker, was not In 'possession
of all the facts in the nretnises when he made this charge
yesterday.
Rev. Mr. Lanahan then made an address. He said he
had never realized until yesterday the idea of being
-called a traitor; a charge of this kind once put forward
can never be taken back. He was a loyal man, and
during these troubles had never a feeling or shadow of
thought that was not in the fullest harmony with the
, Government, and by the Government he meant the
Administration. During the consideration of the report
-of the Committee on Itinerancy, yesterday ? Brother
Moody and myself differed. This he had a nght to do.
But he made remarks that my friends said reflected
upon myself. The speaker demanded an explanation,
and Col. Moody replied that from infOrmation received
.at Washington and the Baltimore Conference he (the
speaker) wee in sympathy with the rebellion. The
.speaker had nothing turtlibr to say. He was willing
that Brother Moody should carry his own thoughts with
him;in the wrong that had been done him.
REPORTS OP COMMITTEES
The subject here dropped, and the report of the Com
mittee on Revisals was taken up. There were several
xeports.
No. I Provides for the reception of ministers
from either the British, Irish, or Canada Conferences or
from the M. E. Church in Canada. They sh ill be re
ceived according to their credentials, provided> they
give'satisfaction to an Annual Conference as to their
willingness to conform to the Church government and
usages. This report was adopted,
No. 2 provides that the Quarterly Conference shall
be composed of all the travelling and local preach
ers, exhorters, stewards, class-leaders, and trus
tees of the Church in the circuit or station, and
the Brat male superintendents of our Sunday-schools,
all being 'members of our Church, and aPProved
by the Quarterly Conference and none else. The
Missionary Committee shall have a - right CO a seat
-daring the action of the Conference on the subject of
missionary work, but aloe other ttme. This report was
also adopted. .
No. 3 recommends an amendment to the Discipline
ace that whenever preachers on trial be appointed by a
bishop to a mission or a chaplaincy in the military
service he may be ordained before his probation ends.
'This was - adopted.-
No. 4 provides for the organization of baptized chit;
41ren at the age of ten sears, and the appointment of
suitable leaders, &c. This was adopted.
No. 6 relates to the enrolment of probationers.
Adopted.
A second general report of the Committee - onnevisal was
then considered, It provides for the better organization
of class-meetings; of the neglect of the means of grace;
.depositions and counsel for an accused party ; on seeing
that the preachers behave well and want nothing; and
- fur the annual election of stewards.
The second part, which reads, " What shall we do
with those who habitually neglect the means of grace 1 '
gave rise to a long discussion. One or two thought the
passage of it would lead in a short time to the abolish
.rnent of classes.
Dr. Peck, of California, spoke eloquently for this
itime•honored organization of the Methodist Church:
He thought everything should he done to up hold the
cues meetings , and to strengthen th e l ove of t he people
:for them:
Dr. Hibbard moved to amend by inserting after the
word " grace " the words " such as the public wor
ship of God, the Supper of the Lord, family and private
prayer, searching -Pe Scriptures, and class meetings
and prayer meetings."
This also gave rise to , discussion, which was cut short
by a moving that the' yeas and nays be taken on the
amendment, which was then done: • -
The amendment was adopted 'by a vote of 150 to 53.
The answer to the 'question' is: "Ist.' Let the elder ,
deacon, or one of the preachers visit .the whenever
V , STACtigillAtr tv thiga ctingoquactli if
they continue to neglect. 2d. If they do not amend,lethim
who has charge of the circuit or station bring their case
before the society, or a select number, before whom they
shall have been cited to appear, and If they be found
guilty of wilful neglect by a decision of a majority of
the members before whom their case is brought, lot
them ho excluded. ",
The yeas and nays were then called on the section as
amended, - which resulted as follows: Yeas 141, nays 78.
DAY OP PRAYER
A communication from the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian. Church was then read, stating that that
body has set apart the afternoon of Wednesday as a day
of prayer to Almighty Ood for his blessings to our coun
try,. &c.,tind recommending this Conference to sot apart
the same day for the same purpose.
A resolution to that effect was then read and unani•
monsly adopted. The exercises will begin this (Wed
nesday) afternoon at 2110 - clock, and will no presided
over by one of the Bishops.
ELECTION OF EDITORS
The orders of the day were then postponed in order to

Ballots were•prepared for that purpose.
The tellers retired to count the votes.
Rev. Joiue T. Peck was nominated for editor of the
Northern Oltrietian Advocate, and elected by acclama
tion. •
Dr. Peck rose and stated that he desired some time to
reflect neon this matter. ITe looked upon the election
as a peremptory order, and wished to consider with
the bishops, and ascertain where his services would be
most needed.
The vote for editor of the .11'orthern Christian Moo
cats was then announced.
Dr. Curry received 14:4 votes out of 199, and was,
therefore, declared elected. -
Several reports of committees were presented, but not
acted upon . On motiou, the Conference adjourned.
I=l

for the purpose _of ordaining the three newly-elected
Bishops.
Bev. C. Elliott, D. D. , gave out the hymn com
mencing: "Draw near, 0 Son of God, draw near,"
which was snug with power by all present.
A fervent prayer was then offered up to the throne of
grace by Bey, Geo. Peck, D. D.
The.mn 'commencing " Let Zion's watchmen all
awake'' was then sung, after which. Bishop Morris road
The Collect, which is: " Almighty God, who:by Thy
On, Jesus Christ,ditist gi ve to Thy holy apostles- many
excellent gifts, and didst charge them to feed Thy
flock, give grace, we beseech Thee, to all the ministers
and pastors of Thy church, that' they may - diligently,

Bev: Calvin Kingsley, D. D., by Revs. S. Y. Monroe
and Moses Hill.
In presenting the Bishops elect, they spoke as follows:
"We present to you this holy man, to be ordained a
Bishop.' Bishop. Morris then moved the congregation
present to pray, saying thus to them: "Brethren, it is
written in the Gospel of St. Luke, that our Saviour
Christ continued the whole night in prayer before ho
did choose and - send forth his- twelve apostles. It is
written, also, in the Acts of the Apostles, that the disci
ples who were at Antioch did fast and - pray before they
laid hands on Paul and Barnabas and sent them forth.
Let us, therefore, following the example of our Saviour
Christ and his apostles, first fall ,o prayer before we
admit and send forth these persons ))resentod to us, to
the work whereunto we trust the Holy Ghost hath
called them."
The Bishop then read• a prayer; and afterwards ex
amined those who were to be ordained. Then all stood
up, and the Bishop said :
`Almighty - . God, our 'Heavenly Pather, who bath
given you a good will to do all these things, graut also
unto you strength and power to perform the same: that
he accomplishes Inyou the good work which he hath
begun you may be found perfect and irreprehensible
at- theas
lt day, through Jesus Christ, our' Lord.
•
Amen. •.. •

tist Triennial 'Convention, now called the American
Baptist Missionary Union, convened vesterday morning
in the First Baptist Church, corner of Broad and Arch
streets.
DECORATIONS
Thelnterior of the church was embellished in quite"
au unique manner. It seems- that all the fooaders of

of the country. Rev. Martin B. An&rson, LL.D. Pre
sident of Rochester University, was called to the. chair.
A committee was appointed to prepare a series of reso
lutions, and meanwhile addresses were delivered by a
number of the delegates.
Rev. Dr. _Me, _of Massachusetts, from th" Committee
on the State of the Country, then read the following re
port and resolutions:
- While desiring, as a religious body, to abitain - from
all expression of opinion on matters purely political,
yet, organized as we are for the extension of the Gospel
throughout our own country, we cannot bin feel that
we should be wanting in patriotism and in Christianity
alike, were we to fail to put on record our sentiments in
reference to the fearful life-struggle through which the
nation is now passing, and -the great principles of eter
nal right and justice which -underlie that struggle;
therefore
. .
Resolved, 1. That we regard the rebellion inaugurated
by the Southern States for the purpose of destroying the
'Union which our fathers founded, and establishing a,
slayeholding Confederacy, as utterly causeless and in
excusable—a crime against civilization, humanity, free
dom, and God, unparalleled in all the centuries.
2. That we tender to the President and the national
authorities the assurance of our confidence and of our,
sympathy. with /heir efforts to maintain theintegrity of
the Republic; of our prayers for their success; of our
readiness to sustain them by the sacrifice of property
and life, and of our hearty assent to the policy of con
quering disunion by uprooting slavery, its cause.
3. That we rejoice in the interest and co-operation
manifested by the Government with respect to the es
tablishment, of schools and. Christian institutions
throughout the recovered portions of the Southern land,
as an evidence of its practical recognition of the Gospel
of Christ as the only sure basis and the bestsafeguard
of national peace and prosperity; and that_we offer it
our most cordial thanks for the facilities afforded to our
own and kindred organizations in the prosecution of this
momentous work.
. .
4. That however prolonged may be the conflict,
and however great the cost which we may be re
quired to pay, our trust the final triumph of liberty
and righteousness is unshaken, and amid victory and
defeat alike, we rest in the conviction that a merciful,
though chastening Providence, will bring forth from
the carnage and hate of this evil war a brighter; grander
future for our country and the world.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Allen, it was
Resolved, That a copy of the resolutions duly signed
by the president and secretary of this meeting be for
warded to the President of the United States and the
Secretary of War.
