At the afternoon session of the Fifty-third
Annual Conference of the African M. E. Church,
which commenced yesterday morning in Bethel
Church, the annual sermon was preached by
Rev. James M. Williams. Tlio text selected
was from the iilith chapter of Acts, Kith, 17th,
and 18th verses, referring to the apostle's own
conversion and his going forth to the ministry
of his own motion, feeling himself called so to
do. Upon this point he urged his hearers to do
all in their power to christianize their fellows.
Kindness and Christian charity towards each
other would tend much towards that end. lie
said that sympathy did not call men to the min
istry, nor did piety or education. They must
lie called by Cod. and if uuulitied for the mis
sion could under Ills protection perform labors
that would surprise themselves. The unity of
the ministers of the Church was one of the most I
important features in connection therewith, and I
could not be too strongly urged. The sermon
throughout was well composed and delivered in
on impressive manner. The conference voted
their thanks to Rev. Mr. Williams, and the ser
vice concluded with prayer by Rev. .lames llol
lin. Domestic Allairs.
