PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE OF IHE M
E. CHURCH,
SfZTll DAY
Wilmington, Tuesday, March 15, 1661 The
session, this morning, opened with the usual de
votional services, conducted by Rev. J o nn Ruth,
Chaplain of the Eastern Penitentiary.
The Bishop this morning announced that he had
transferred Rev. J. W. Brindle from the Upper
lowa Conference to this i 'deference; with whi. h
he had formerly been connected.
The Committee on the Bible Cause, presented
them report, highly approving of all efforts to cir
culate the Bible broadcast throughout the land,
etc , which -was adopte.d.
The Rev J. W. Jackson presented the report, of
the Committee on the State of the Country This
report contains the foi ow-ng points:
,lle of the Conference is
pledged to the Government.
a. Expressed its view of the duty of the nation
to prosecute the .war till the old ilag waves over
ei cry foot of ItE territorial soil.
3. Declares that loyalty to Government is loy
alty to the administration of that Government as
duly elected under the Constitution, and that is
rendering to Caesar things that belong to Ciesar,
en i| re ».Pi°mpt and unqualified obedience of
all under its authority is to be rendered to the ad
ministration, not for .wrath,but lor conscience
ease; and that resistance to. it- authcriiv* either
dv spt-ech or action, is not only lebeliion and
'reason to tt e civil Government but to God.
4. That while we recognize the rightof citizens
to discuss the measures and policy ef the Go
vernment, we yet affirm that it is a religious duty
not to speak evil of ministers and magistrates, and
ibat especially in linns like these, wheu the ut
most w>sdom is required in the administration of
civil aflairs, the« right of even such discussion is
only to be exercised with great caution, prudence
and forbearance.
5. That, so far as our influence may extend, we
discountenance and condemn the illy-concealed
treason of those who. influenced by party spiritj>r
sj mpathy with human bondage, find fault with
every warlike measure, under the pretext of a
discrimination between the constitution as the
supreme law of the laud and tne administration
Jrv.*k e sovernment as framed by the constitution.
They are the s*cret toes ol ’he government, with
all the venom but without the manliness of rebels
in open arms.
6 That we recognize in American Slavery—so
justly cba»acterized by the of our Uhtircli,
as contrary to the golden rule of God, on which
hang all the law and the prophets and the inalien
able rights of mankind, as well as every principle
of the revolution—the root and palpable : eof
this most wicked rebellion; and that we rejoice that
a system so contrary to the letter and spirit of our
holy religion, so abhorrent to humanity and to
civilization, has, by taking the sword ot resistance,
to tie Government, secured t»s own destruction:
and that in the eroam ipation polici of the Govern
ment we recognize the hand of Him who thns
overruling the councils of men, caused a
“military necessity 1 * to coincide with ihe prin
ciples ot everlasting righteousness in the extirpa
tion of slavery,the prolific mother of wicked legi-*-
lation in the State and of dissension and bickering
in the Church.
7. Compliments the valor and bravery of the de
fenders of the Union and Government; thauks the
soldiers and sailors for their invaluable services:'
sympathizes with the mourners of the lost and
wounded ones, and commits their children to the
care of the nation.
8. Commends the Christian Commission, the
Sanitary Commission and the Freedman's Aid So
ciety as worthy of the prayers and generous be
nevolence of all Christians.
These points wei e taken up seriatim, and were
passed unanimously, and upon the adoption of the
wholej including the preamble, a count vote was
had, which resulted in 171 in favor and none
against.
Rev. Dr. Sewell, of East Baltimore Conference,
and Revs. E. H. Stok&s and R. V. Lawrence, of
the New Jersey Conference, were introduced.
Rev. R. Coombe, on behalf of the Committee on
Temperance, submitted their report, which was
adopted.
The Committee on Salary of Bishops reported
52,500 as their estimate to be allowed to Bishop
k_cott and Bishop Simpson for the coming year
Rev. J. R. Bailey was granted a location at" fits
own request.
The Committee on the Tract Cause presented
their report. The interests of the cause are all m
a healthy condition, the business of the depository
larger than ever, and the salarv of the agent has
been paid from the contributions of the friends of
the canse, and not one cent of the money raised for
tracts has been taken for that purpose.
The Committee on Education made their report.
It speaks highly of the prosperous condition of the
old Dickinson College at Carlisle, extols the
faculty, and commends the students for scholar
ship and moralty. It closes w’ith the following
points: b
1. Commends the cause of education as of high
Consideration and value.
jZ. Urges the endowment of Dickinson College
3. Pledges the Conference to promote Christian
education, by preaching upon the subject Ac
4. Assesses the members of the Church ten cents
per member for the cause, and provides for the
publishing of the amount assessed to each ch arch
This point was objected to on the ground that the
people will more readily and freely give than the\
will by taxation. The resolution was finally
passed and the remainder of the report was Uni
upon the table for the present.
The Rev. J. F. Chaplain asked the privilege of
withdrawing the bill of “charges made bv him
Bgamstthefiev. E. Miller He stated that he had
had a conversation with Mr. Miller, and was Der
fectly satisfied with his loyalty.
The Bishop called np the case of young men who
are recommended as suitable persons to be received
on trial in this Conference. The following after
being duly represented, were admitted on trial id
the minis'ry

THE ; GREAT
CENTRAL FAIR,
FOR THE
Sanitary Commission.
Philadelphia, 1307 Chestnut Street
February 20,1864.
• The undersigned, members of the. Executive
Committee of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for
the Sanitary Commit-sion, tog to invite the co-ope
ration of ail their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is
proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, in the
FIRST WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con-
«.ieiul,y exported that the contributions coming
from a popnia ion to benevolent and patriotic as
that which inhahite the Central States, and repre
senting toe mosMmportant and varied branches of
: industry and art, will secure a result in aid of the
1 funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of
the Soldier, at least equal to that which has at
tended similar undertakings in other cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy for the solJier. We feel for them all as
brethren, and the popular h»a>t seeks only the
best mode of manifesting that sympathy in the
most efficient mk! practical way. These fairs in
other places have been product! ve of great results
By this means Chicago hat* recently raised for this
object $(50,000, Boston $150,000, and Cincinnati
more th. fi S2W-,ouo. We appeal, then, with the
greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
great industrial classes, to send as contribution
tb£ productions Of their skill and workmanship.
We appeal to them in the interest of no pirty,
radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic,
Administration or auti- Administration. We know
only this, that to send oar national soldiers in the
fitrld supplies to supplement those GovermentUn
denakes to give them, but which they sometimes
fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick
and in misery, is a work ol Christian charity, and
that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as
economizing their life, health and efficiency, on
which, under God, the nation depends in this its
time of trouble.
We therefore ask every clergyman to announce
this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to do what they can to further it. We
ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the
most earnest encouragement. We call on every
workshop, factory and mill fora specimen of the
best thing it can turn out; on every artist, great
and email, for one of his creations ; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus
try; on fanners, for the products of their fields
and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the mart
of science, the traveler, can each send something
that can at the very least be converted into a
blanket that will warm, and may save from death,
some one soldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
thing that has money value is invited to give a
sample of his best work as an offering to the cause
of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic
or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a
barrel of apples. Is called on to contribute some
thing that can be turned into money, and again
trom money into the means of economizing the
health and the life of our national soldiers.
Committees have been appointed id each depart
ment of industry ard art. whose business it will
be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in its
own special branch. T hese Committees will place
themselves in communiaation with those persons
who may wish to aid us. In the meantime it la
recommended that local committees or associations
should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, withaYiewoj
organizing the industry of their' respective neigh
boihoods, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair.
Committed of Ladies have also been organized
to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions.
A list of ail these Committees will be shortlj
published and distributed. In the meantime those
who are disposed to aid ns, or who maj.deslreanv
further information on the subject, are requested
to address CHARLES J. STILLE, Corresponding
secretary 11 the EaecutlTe Committee or the Great
Central Fair, 13n7 CHESTNUT Street.
