support during the last year. While the area of
their society itad been :decreased, the amount of

The rei,-cipts of the past year were *Tir.9,57S, an
crease of Elte,Woo over the previous year. The issues
for the sonic time were $1,000,575, inclusive. Since
the breaking cut of the war, a period of over three
years, they had issued 0,.78,110 volumes of the
Word of OM. The total issues of the society have

Commission for distriontion into the army hail been

distribution as tilt, but the commission. They have
taken - the Loos 'bout our lianas, and distributed
them to an parts of. the land without it costing the
Society ei:e vent.

of Gild was exceelinglygreat. And he would ask
them to sitsmin the society in the work of giving.
the Word yr ti id to the nation. The question isnot
what do we think of the 'Word of God, but what will
we do for it. One aim of the American Bible Society
has been darn a the war to sustain that good. old
form of worship. They had given their
hooks free;} to all who would have them—to the
prisoners taken by our armies, aml we have sent
them South.
In times past it was impOssible to give the Bible
to the slaves at the South, but blessed be Gad ! they
have now COMC to cm doors, and sought the ift at
our own hands. They have covered it with -- tears,.
and lived to cherish and honor it. In this blessed.
Bible cause we know no denominations we work
together, hand-M-akand, and receive contributions
from all.

service at the close of the sermon to be delivered this
Morning by Bishop literris.
A erceint ecuonittee was appointed at the last
'General Conference to report some plan of General
Conference action on the subject of education, and
to make such suggestions as would result in the for
mation of a Central Board of Education. The com
mittee recommended that the subject be left to the
Annual Conference, who have previously exercised
control in the matter. The report-was adopted.
The Committee on Ritual recommended the adop

Conference, containing the three forms on the re

The order of Monday was now - called for, which
WS a sermon by the venerable Bishop Morris. The
exercises were eommeneed by the singing of the
bytun, commencing:
•
" Lord, I believe a rest remains,
TO .111 'work known.
.
After an aopropriate prayer, the Bishop com
menced b Liying that a he was admitted into the
church as a penitent sinner, in August, 1813. He
was licensed to preach 2d of April, 1814, by Elder
David Young, and by him employed on a circuit in
3.51.5 3 admitted on trial by the Ohio Oonferenee in
1816, and into full connection and ordained preach
er in 1818. and ordained elder in 1820 and bishop in
1886. Dutim , the four wears and a half that he was
a licentiate he preached over a thousand sermons ;
as deacon, ten years, live hundred 7 as elder, sixteen
years, three thousand; as bishop twenty-eight
- wean, about three thousand—in all about - Seven
thousand five hundred. He travelled as a preacher,
'before he was bishop, mostly on hOrtiebaCk, sixty'.
thousand miles, and as bishop, mostly by public
conveyance, one hundred and forty thousand miles.
During twenty-eight years: Episcopal service, he
presided at two nundred Annual Conferences, or
dained five thousand preacher!.:, and appointed
twenty thousand preachers to their work.. - -
The text which he had selected was found in the
59th chapter of the book of Isaiah, 21st verse. - The
first Methodist Society was formed in England in
3.739--oae hundred and twenty-fire years ago. - The
first American Methodist Society was organized in - .
ILM—ninety.eight years ago. Methodism has be
come a great power on both sides of the Atlantic,
and it is worth while to inquire what is the secret
of this whole success.
propoi.ed to speak in the spirit of Methodism,
shich, in the first place, he would say was a spirit
of truth. Our Saviour, when praying for his dis
ciples, said, "Sanctify them through thy truth."
Thy word is truth. The Bible is truth. It embraces
all that is essential to salvation. The doctrine of
purification by faith ; the doctrine of perseverance,
and the immorality of the soul and resurrection of
the body. At the same time, while it is comprehen
sive; it omits many things.
The five points of Methodism are : Ist. All men are
sinners - All are redeemed 3 ad. All men arc
; 4th. ' All men who obey the call arc chosen ; sth.
Those who endure unto the end shall be saved.
Before the people had, the light of Methodism the
man who talked of havin- , his sins forgiven was de
nounced as foolish. Thespirit of Methodism is the
spirit of enterprise. We went to the highways and
hedges, and warned sinners of the wrath to come.
- We saw streams of living water push forth in dry
and parched plates - '
and in thousands of instances
they who wen not the people became the people of
the Lord. And we tried to. practice in the largest
scale the command. "Go ye unto all the world and
preach the word of God to the people." The first
three circuits the speaker
.had ever travelled had
from twenty-eight to forty appointments, to compass
which irequired a journey of three hundred miles.
We went among the people, and if one man in the
Settlement would consent to open his doors to
preaching, we made an appointment, and fulfilled
it when we ruinin came that way_ In one way and
another they generally met their engagements,
In the iiexc place, the spirit of Methodism le - the
Spirit of swerifice. No estimate was made in those
days for their expenses. For the first twelve years
of his services he, had averaged yearly only 5.1e11.65,
Out of which had to be paid all his expeuSeS, In the
next place tIM speaker alluded to the numerical pro
gress of the Church.
When he commeneed his preaching, in 1813, the ag
gregate of communicant members in America was
less than a quarter Of a million. Now wehave a frac
tion only below one million. This is after deducting
the lar , e number who left the Church upon the
breaking out of the war.
In reference to their churches in those days he said
there Were Luta few frail buildings. Fifty years ago
they Mid no Sunday-schools. He had been a travel
ling preacher four years before he ever saw a Sun
day-school. The first one he saw was in Zanesville,
Ohio. Now we have Sunday-schools by thousands,
and teachers by tens Of thousands, and scholars by
hundreds of thousands.
Neither had ire any tracts or religious papers pub
lished as now, or any public institutions. We - had
no miriitihcil" cause in those days. He continued
the present r' ate of affairs of the Church to what
they were in the days to which he alluded.
The speaker also contended that the spirit of
Atethodito is a pirit of loyalty to the civil govern
ment. [Cries of "Amen," andapplause,] /754,
when the Church *as first organized, there it still
stands, a monument to our loyalty. - The Methodist
-Church had largely responded to the call of their
country for \ ohtutf,ers. As Tar as they know, they
had one hundred thousand of their members in
the service. This is an indication that the spirit of
Methodism is a spirit of patriotism. The speaker
argued that slavery had first divided their Church.
and now it had divided their country. -The war for
the - Union had struck slavery a fatal blow, and they
were praying to Glad that it might give up tire ghost.
we never saw the day that he did not teach free
grace and free community. They believed that
Methodism would live to accomplish its mission.
Some have tallied of the world coining to an end,
but, thank HIM 1 the world still mores, and a num
ber of ii port events will take place. We be
lieve that the - Union will be restored, that shivery
will be crushed out, and last, but not least, that
there will be such a - revival of the word or G-od as
the world never witnessed, and thepeople shall ac
/MOlTledge that the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Upon the conclusionof the sermon, a fervent and
impressive prayer was delivered by Father Boehm.
Conference then adjourned with the usual reit
gious exercises.
A. M. E. General Conference.
SEVENTH DAY.
Bishop Quinn presiding. Conference met pur
suant tff adj..tirmnent, and opened with devotional
exercises_ The roll was called and the minutes
read. and on a motion for their approval Bishop
Naziey called attention to a misstatement in the re
tort of the Committee on Canadian Affairs, and
denied the assertion there made that he had held
is BB the Clonteratmes except the lest,” as stated in
the report. lie wished the minutes corrected in
that particular item.
Rev. Win. A. Dove said if there was any mistake
it was made by the delegation from Canada, who
had distinct:lY made the above statement, and who,
on being asitiid over and over again, had reiterated
the statement..
Rev. Thomas Stringer, and others of the delega
tion, denied having made any such statement.
Rev, stcpi,en Smith said there could bo no mis
take by the Committee; that the delegation had been
interrogated particularly on this point, and they did
distinctly say several times over that Bishop Nazrey
had held all their Conferences except the hist one,
and had ordained and performed all the other work
of his office es the bishop of the church they repre
sented. He was surprised to hear this attempt to
deny so notorious a fact.
Rev. Henry Jackson moved to adopt the minutes,
except so much as relates to Canadian affairs, and
that the .said portion relating to Canadian Main' be
reconsidered. Carried.

of the Canadian question be indefinitely postponed.
He contended that the consideration or entertain
ment of these questions heiere the Conference was

in the t ',,ited States, and, therefore, he went for
leavire, Canada to settle her own qttestions of differ
ence: it 41i.1 not belong to us in any way to touch it.
Re‘"..l. P. Campbell sustained this view, arguing
that this Conference had trouble enough of its OWn
without assuming other men's troubles.
Rev. Mishit Weaver opposed the motion, and
thought the Conference did itself injustice by such
action as well as the Church at large, and hoped
the motion would not prevail.
Rev. Stephen Smith opposed the motion as unjust
amid unreasonable beyond precedent.
fiev. Willis R. Revels most bitterly opposed the
motion, and desired, instead or voting, to enter his
protest against these irregular and unjust, pro

lien. Mr. Cain proceeded to show that it was di

his motion, and therefore could hear no remarks
ni,on it.
The motion to indefinitely postpone Was then
adopted.
Bev. Elisha Weaver desired to state his reasons
for not voting, and to cuter his protest.
The Eishop wished to hear no reason for his not
voting, and would entertain no remarks upon his
protest. Others wore in like manner excluded from
the privilege of entering their protest, with their
reasons thoreibr, by the action of tue majority and
the decisions . of the Bishop.

The Committee on, Hoye High School reported a
resolution dispensing with the semi innual exami
nation in July next, and that the whole number of
pupils needed be apportioned among the schools in
the following manner : That a committee be ap
pointed by the teachers to colder with the commit
tee andprincipal of the High School and find the
average number admitted from each school at the

number which each school shall be entitled to hare

This report of the committee was made in conse
quence of the feet that the workings of the - schools
for the Sanitary Fair had disturbed the studies.
lffr. Hoffman moved, as a further amendment,
Provided, that no grammar school el throe or more
dl,-I,lons shah bo restricted to less than three can
didates.
The amendment passed and the report was
adopted.
The resolution, postponed at the last meeting, ex
pollinz Mr. Cregar, as principal of the Girls' Ifig,h
-„citool was called up.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that he should vote against
the resolution. He thought it would be unjust, to a
te.mher of such long standing and good moral cha
racter, to < vote now for his expulsion. If Mr.
Cregar had done wrong, the Board would be justi
censurin—' him, out he had not deserved an
expulsion. He had long known Mr. Cregar, and
found him "a
.zzentleman of character and probity.
31r. Shippen said that he could not see how any
member should refuse to vote for the resolution, who
had read the testiniony in the case.
Pit. Wel/Inger replied that he had spent sixty-four
hours in reading the testimony, and could freely say
that never in his life had he read 'a more illiberal
and villainous report to a deliberative body. He
said Mr. Shippen was opposed to the Girls' High
School, and that probably accounted for his earnest
ness in voting for air. Clregar's expulsion ; to which
31r. Sliippenreplied that he was not opposed to the
school, but that his section preferred not to send
pupils to the Girls' High School. He said there was
ll , ' ono in the Board who would work inure for the.
advancement of that school than Mr. S. would. The
report was stigmatized as villainous. Such an as
sertion could not be made by a.” - man who was not
himself a villain.
Mr. Nebinger said he meant all he said.
Ship pen said he meant what he said. too.
Be had written the report, and was willing to 'stand
or fall on it, and would allow nobody to impugn his
motives.
The debate was continued at farther length, when
a motion was made to postpone the resolution in.
de Finitely, which was aired to by the following vote :
- It:As—Messrs. Abel, Broify, Cooper, Cashman,
Fa ecu, Fitzgerald, Bolt, Ifookey, Nebinger,
Noble, Roberts, Vaughan, and Witham-14.

and Pletcher, president—M.
A resolution was then offered to abolish the Girls'
"Rah School, which was postponed by a vote of 17
yeas to 7 nays.
RELIEF FOIL TE WOUNDED.—It 'will be
gratifying to those who have friends in the great
conflict now going on in Virginia to know that in
anticipation of what was to take place, the United
Mates Christian Commission had sent forward to
:Brandy Station large quantities of hospital and
battle-field stores, that they might be on hand when
the emergency called lbr them. The Commisqon
sent a wagon loaded with battle-field stores with
each corps of the grand Army of the Potomac, and
over fifty delegates to distribute them and minister
personally to the wounded. These, wagons and de
ifteates started on the march with the army, have
shared its sorrows and its triumphs, and have, no
doubt, by this time nearly exhausted their stores, '
and rendered good service in assisting- the wounded
and dying. On Monday seventeen additional dele
gates left Washington for the scene of action, and
more have gone forward since.
. _ .
In addition to the delegates and stores with Geri,
Atomic's army, the Commission ha,: also a three with
Gen. Butler. Altogether there are about one hun
dred delegates of the Commission on the scene of
action, more than half of them having been with
the army from the time it began to move. It re
mains for the people who remain at home to keep
the hands of these devoted men full of all manner
of stores suitable for a battle-field. The Commis
sion will do all in its power to as.si.--t in the care of
the wounded who are being brought to Fredericks
burg, and at all other points. They have the men
en the E7ound,,ready to minister to the brave boys
who hare sacrificed everything for our country.
They look to the people for support in doing so.
Money for - this great emergency should be sent at
once to Joseph Patterson, treasurer of the Commis
lion, at the Western Bank.
NAVAL AFFATIZS.—Work , On. the war ves
sels at the navyyard is progressing rapidly. The
large steamer being constructed in the upper ship
house is nearly ready to be launched. The two
turreted monitor Tonowanda. has been taken from
the sectional dock, and is now at anchor at the end
of the wharf, being
- fitted up inside. The turreta
were made in New York and will tie sent herein
few days, ready to be placed in their proper posi

commander Rodgers, arrived from 'Hampton Roads
on Monday afternoon. She recently came in colli
sion with another vessel, and was so badly damaged
as to render it necessary for her to be sent to this
port for repairs. The U. S. steamer Mount Vernon
IC expected here every day, to he repaired.

WILL.
Williamson vs Coots. This is a feigned issue to test
the validity of the will of Nancy J. Coots, deceased.
The will bears [date August 30th, Wal, and is almost
identical in its provisions with a will dated March 30,
1361, which was filed in the Register of Wills' office as
the last will and testament of Mrs. Coots, but which
wltscontested, and upon trial was, by .the verdict of
-jury, set aside. - In that will the decedent houy.eathed
the most of - her estate to Mrs. Passmore
The Will now in contest was, soon after the verdict in
the case of the will oftater date, presented by Mr. Pass
more Williamson to the Register of Wills and proven,
and he sets up that, the other will havingbeen set aside,
this takes its place, and is to be considered as the last
will, he., of the deceased. In this will Passmore Wil
liamson himself takes the place of Mrs. Williamson,
his wife, the great bulk of the property being willed to
him. A few trilling legacies only go to the others, TH:
To Reuben Coots, husband of the deceased,. fir3so;
Letitia Kelly, $500; to Edward A. Crenshaw, ICM; and
to an adopted child, Jane Echo, an annuity of id5U, un
til her arrival at her majority. Williamson is named
as guardian of this girl, and as executor - of the will.
He, however,,
' renounces in a formal document, filed in
the case, all his right, title, and interest in the residuary
estate thus bequeathed to hint iu the will, in favor of
the adopted child, Jane Echo, and in case of her death
in favor of the heirs-at-law, only claiming and reserv
tho right to act as guardian of the child, and as
executor or trustee of the estate for her benefit. -
The validity of the will is contested by the heirs-at
law upon the ground that the decedent, a colored wo
man of about seventy years of age, was in feeble condi
tion of both mind and body, and that undue influence.
wateexercised in order to procure the execution of the
will. Also, that the principal legatee, Mr. William
son, was both before and at the time of its execution the
trustee and confidential business agent of the deceased,
having the sole and entire control and management of
her allahT, and that bequests M »ersons occupying such
confidential relations with a testator were always to be
regarded by the law with jealousy and suspicion.
The trial of the case will occupy several days. Jun
kin and Gilpin for the will; B. IL Brewster, Crawford,
and Cadwalader Biddle against the will. -
