MEMOIRS.

Benjamin P. Wheat was born in Addison, Steuben county, New York, July 4, 1811.

He was converted when seventeen years of age. He was licensed to exhort in 1833,and to preach in 1833. In 1847 he was employed by Rev. G. W. Walker, of the OhioConference, to supply Franklin Circuit. In 1848 he was received on trial in the OhioConference, and appointed to the Lewlsburg Circuit, and afterward to Vienna andMonroe Circuits.

AVhen the Ohio Conference was divided he became a member of tlie Cincinnati Con-ference, and traveled Williamsburg, Georgetown, East White Oak and Aberdeen Cir-

cuits.

In 1857 he was transferred to this Conference, then Peoria, and appointed to Mag-nolia Circuit, where he remained two years. In 1859 he traveled Avoca Circuit; in

186U Marshall Circuit, which was his last field of labor.

In 1861 he was granted a superannuated relation. In 1862 he attended Conferenceat Galesburg, where he said to a brother, "This is my last Conference. When younext meet I shall be in heaven." When returning from Conference he said to his pre-

siding elder, "I have been to my last Conference. I shall not live long, and when I

die I shall die suddenly." This prediction was true ; for on the morning of Sept. 30thhe was found sitting in his chair wrapped in death's embrace.Thus suddenly and peacefully passed away our beloved brother. As a preacher, Bro.

Wheat was far above mediocrity ; as a pastor, he excelled. But he has gone. His vir-

tues and excellences shall ever live in our memory. He rests from his labors, and his

works do follow him.

Rev. S. B. Baker was born in Tompkins county, New York, January 3, 1815 ; was"born again" in 1842, and joined the M. E. Church; was married Jan. 27, 1845, to

Miss Phebe I. Ellis. In the fall of 1850 came to Western Illinois; was licensed topreach the gospel in 1851, and recommended to the Rock River Conference—was re-

ceived, and sent to Henry Circuit; was appointed to Prophetstown Circuit in 1852; atthe close of this year was ordained Deacon ; the next year was sent on to the MolineCircuit; in 1854 was appointed to the Union Grove Circuit, and at the close of this yearwas ordained Elder; in 1855 was appointed to Camden Circuit; when the Conferencewas divided he fell into the Peoria Conference, and was, in 1856, on the New Boston Circuit;

at the close of this year he located to seek a support for his family by labor, but continuedto preach as often as he could ; in I860 he was readmitted into the Central Illinois Con-ference and sent to Olena Circuit, and was returned to the same circuit the next year ; in

1862 was sent to the Fairbury Circuit. He was unavoidably detained from starting at onceto his work, but went as soon as possible. When within ten miles of Fairbury he wastaken suddenly and violently sick with pneumonia. He received faithful and constantattention from his brethren and friends, but in spite of all eflfbrt to save him from death,he fell sweetly asleep in Jesus on the 13th of November, 1862. He exclaimed, as hegrappled with the monster, ."Oh, it is sweet to die when we have Jesus with us!" Bro.Baker was a good man, a useful preacher, a kind husband and father, a devoted friend

and Christian, beloved by all who knew him. Peace to his ashes

Rev. Joseph 0. Gilbebt was born in Madison county. New York, April 24, 1808'

At the early age of eight years he experienced religion, and, his parents Ix'ing member'*of the Baptist Church, at the ago of twelve he united with that denomination, and waSlicen.sed by them to preach at the age of fifteen. In his mature age he became dissat-

isfied with some of the usages of the Baptist Church, applied for and obtained a certifi-

cate of good standing in said church, and honoraVily withdrew from their communion.He imited with the M. E. Church in Washtenaw county, Michigan, in 1836. In 1839

he was licensed to preach in Adrian, Mich., and in 1847 he was admitted into the Rock

24 .CENTRAL ILLINOIS CONFERENCE.

River Conference and appointed to the Monmouth Circuit, the next year to tlie RockIshmd station. About tliis time he became almost blind, and was located at his ownrequest. Soon after he crossed the plains to Oregon and California for the l>ciietit ofhis health. While there he preached among the mountains to the miners. After anabsence of fourteen months he returned, and again united with the Rock River Confer-

ence and was appointed successively to the following appointments: West Bureau oneyear; Wetlierstield and Kewanee two years; Canton Station one year, and Gales-

burg two years At the close of this year his health failed, and he was gi-anted a su-

perannuated relation, which he continued to sustain until his deatli.

Bro. Gilbert early felt his call to preach. In his preaching he was plain and practi-

cal, and often full of unction and power. In fact, as a preacher he excelled. Manythrough his instrumentality were brought into the kingdom of God. His last sickness

was short and very severe. From the tirst he wa.s conscious that he must die, but hewas ready—"All is well." He died the 10th of February, and rests from his labors.

Rev. J. C. K.vowLTo.v was born in Rome, Mass., July '22, 1826; was converted in

February, 1839; emigrated to Illinois in June, 1849, and was licensed to preach in 185-4.

In 1853 he was received on probation in the Peoria (now Central Illinci-s) Conference,

and appointed to the Reading Mission. The next year, owing to ill health, he was dis-

continued at his own request. At the Conference of 1858 he was readmitted, after

whicli he served the following charges: Lafayette one year; Chillicothe two years,

and at the Conference in Lacon was ordained Deacon and appointed to the Sniithville

work. About this time the country was calling loudly for men, and after conferring

with his brethren and making the matter a subject of prayer, was made to feel that it

was his duty to go into the field; accordingly he enlisted in the 11th Illinois Cavalry,

raised a company and became Captain of the same. In the army he wius much beloved

by his men, as a soldier and Christian minister. He was in the service one year, par-

ticipating in the battles of Shiloh and Corinth. His health finally failing, he resigned

and came home. In December last his health having somewhat improved, he was em-ployed on the Oneida work with W. J. Smith ; but death had marked him as its victim.

His work was well nigh done. He sweetly fell asleep in Jesus Feb. 23, 18(53. Just

before he died he was asked, " Is Jesus with you V" He replied, " Is Jesus with me ?

Yes, Jesus is with nie. Glory to his name." His last message to the brethren of his

Conference was—"Tell my brethren tliat the blessed gospel 1 have preadied to others

in so much weakness, sustains me in affliction, and will in death." Bro. Knowlton wasa good preacher and pastor, and all who knew him loved him. Let others imitate his

virtues and follow him as he followed Christ.

Rev. D. O. Caum.\c was born January 27, 1834, in Frederick City, Maryland; expe-

rienced religion wlien quite young and joined the M. E. Church ; was admitted into the

Western Virginia Conference in 1854, and successively filled the following appointments

:

Wavne, Charlestown, Maiden, Ripley and Williamstown ; was married April 8, 1857,

and was ordained Klder by Bishop Ames in 1858. The following year he located, and

in 1852 was readmitteil into the Central Illinois Conference and sent to the Plea.sant Hill

Circuit, where he finished his course in great peace August 10, 18ft3. During all his

affliction he was cheerful and happy, always having a smile for all who visited him. Hewas in labors abundant, and, having accomplished those labors, has gone to his reward,

leaving a wife and three children to follow on.

Rev. Peter I. Williams was born in Mercer county, Penn.«ylvania, Sept. 10, 1833.

At the age of seventeen he embraced religion and joined the M. E. Church, after which

he moved to Rock Island county, in tliis State. Soon after he received licen.se to ex-

hort, and being very successful as an exhorter, in a short time he was licensed to preach.

In the fall of 1859 he was admitted in the Central Illinois Conference on trial, andappointed to the Minunk Circuit, which charge was his work two yeai"s.

Ho was married to Miss C. S. Colt, of Rushville, at the close of the first year. At the

Conference of 18r.l he was appointed to the Milford Circuit, wliere he labored very ac-

ceptably until he went into the service of his country, when a random shot, not knowncertainly whether it came from a friend or enemy of his country, inflicted a wound in

his thigh which resulted in his death. He died as he lived, full of hope and confidence.

Bro. Williams was a devoted Methodist preacher. Though his ministerial career wasshort, his labors on all his works were crowned with success. He finished his course,

he kept the faith, and now is honored with a crown of life that shall never fade.

REPORTS.

1. ON THE STATE OP THE COUNTRY.As Christian ministers, sharing witli other citizens the blessings of legal protection,

and pledged by our articles of i-eligion to allegiance to our government, we regard it as

proper to give expression to words of encouragement to the administration in its efforts

to maintain the integrity of the Union, of cheer to our biave men in the field, and of sym-pathy with families clothed in mourning by the sad incidents of war, therefore hereby

Resolved, 1. That we are firmly devoted to the Union of the States, and to the govern-ment our fathers gave us, and that we will heartily sustain the administration in its

efforts to put down rebellion, and to punish treason wherever it is found.

2. That the brave men who have sacrificed the comforts of home, and periled their

lives in defence of the government, are entitled to our warmest gratitude, and that wewill cherish the memory of the heroic dead as the martyrs of liberty.

3. That the lonely families of those in the army, and the friends of those that havefallen, shall have a place in our sympathy and prayers.

4. That we recognize the soldiers' aid societies, organized by the loyal ladies of thecountry to furnish alleviations and comforts for the sick and wounded, as deserving ourmost active co-operation.

5. That we gratefully recognize the hand of God in the success with which he hascrowned our arms, and that we will not cease to pray that the nation may come out ofits trials purified, our institutions rendered permanent, and our people united in reverencefor his holy will.

6. That we regard those misguided men in loyal states who oppose the vigorousprosecution of the war, either by lessening the confidence of the people in the govern-ment, by interposing obstacles to the reinforcement of our armies, or who,,by sympathywith treason, encourage rebels to prolonged resistance, as chargeable with the bloodof our slaughtered brethren, and as having acquired an infamy meriting the abhorrenceof all good men.

7. That the promptness with which the American citizen of African descent has re-

sponded to the call of his country, and the daring with which he has met the ruthless

foe, excites our admiration, and should secure to him all his rights as a man ; and that

any proposition to reconstruct the government when the rebellion shall be subdued that

does not recognize his natural rights, or that would leave any of his race in bondage,should be spurned as subornation to crime.

A. MAGEE, Cluimnan.A. Bower, Secretary.

2. ON EDUCATION.Canton, 111., Sept. 19, 1863.

To the Bishop and Membei-s of tlw Central Illinois Conference of the M. E. Church :

Dear Fathers and Brethren : Your Committee on Education would respectfully

beg leave to present the following report ; viz..

After a careful scrutiny of the various papers and documents referred to their consid-

eration, and free conversation with the official representatives of the various literary

institutions under the care of the Conference, they are happy to be able to report real

progress during the past year, as well as brighter jirospects for the future. Notwith-standing the untoward influences of the unholy rel)ellion that is cursing our land, thereis manifested, both on the part of ministers and laity, an increasing interest in the causeof Christian education ; while, contrary to all that might reasonably have been antici-

pated during this season of civil war, all our institutions report a large increase of at-

tendance at the opening of the new academical year. And we can but indulge the hopetliat, in view of the present fortunate organization and geographical location of our


literary institutions, a brighter era is dawning upon the educational interests of theCentral Illinois Conference ; and that the day is not distant when our Conference insti-

tutions, by energetic effort and a prudent limitation and concentration of effort uponthem, to the exclusion for the time being of all new and doubtful enterprises, may beplaced upon a permanent basis, and be made at once an honor and a blessing to the

Church and to the community at large.

ILLINOIS WKSLEYAN UNIVERSITY.

The reports from this institution indicate rapid and unmistakable progress in all thereal elements constituting a true college or university. The second week of the presentterm opened with 116 students, being double the average attendance of any precedingterm, and fourfold the attendance at the corresponding period of the last collegiate

year—a fact which speaks volumes for its future growth and progress.

Large and very valuable additions have been made to its Museum of Natural History(note one of the bext in t/w state), and to its chemical, philosophical and astronomical ap-

paratus, aniong which should be noted as especially worthy of attention a fine achro-

matic refracting telescope, of five inches aperture and six and a half feet focal distance,

from the celebrated manufactory of Henry Fitz, of New York ; so that the University

now offers rare facilities to young men for the practical study of the various natural

sciences.

Corresponding advancement has, at the same time, been made in the organization of

the faculty by calling the Rev. C C. Knowlton, A. M., of your body, to the Chair of An-cient Languages, and by the employment, for the year, of an accomplished teacher in

the Primary Department.Additional facilities in the way of handsomely furnished recitation rooms have also

been provided. A beautiful hall has been fitted up and furnished for the use of the lit-

erary societies; an ample room, tastefully fitted with glass cases, has been arranged for

the use of the Museum of Natural History ; and a good bell, weighing 7.50 pounds, hasbeen placed in the belfry without cost to the University, while its finances have beenmaintained in a healthy state. Therefore,

1. Bfso/rcd, That we heartily endorse the Hlinois Wesleyan L^niversity and earnestly

commend it to our people who seek, either for tliemselves or for their sons, the benefits

of thorough classical or scientific education, as an institution offering rare facilities to

the earnest student ; and that we will, individually, constitute ourselves recruiting

agents to fill its halls with students.

2. RfKoliH-d, That the presiding Bishop be respectfully requested to re-appoint Rev.Oliver S. Munsell, D. D., President of the University, and the Rev. C. C. Knowlton,A. M., Professor of Languages.

3. Renolvcd, That we will continue to recognize Rev. C. W. C. Munsell as our Agentfor the LTniversity, and that we will heartily co-operate with him in his labors.

4. Resolved, That Revs. D. C. Benjamin, J. S. Gumming, and Zadoc H.dl, and C. W.Holden, Esq., be appointed Trustees to fill vacancies occurring at the present session of

our Conference.5. Resolved, That Revs. P. T. Rhodes, John Borland, B. Applebee, P. A. Crist, J. H.

Rhea and R. Pierce be appointed a Visiting Committee for the current year.

IlEDDING SEMINARY AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS FEMALE COLLEGE.

Notwithstanding the disastrous influences of the war, this institution has steadily ad-

vanced in its noble work. Its roll for the opening term of the new year shows an in-

crease of thirty-three per cent, as compared with the last year, although many of its for-

mer pupils are in the army, fighting bravely and nobly in defence of their country.

During the past year eighty young ladies and forty-five young gentlemen, or, in all,

one hundred and twenty-five students, have been in attendance. The school is organ-

ized on a self-supporting basis, while there is good ground to hope that, by a little en-

ergetic effort on the part of its friends to carry out and complete the conditional sub-

scription so auspiciously begun, its debts may be liquidated and the Seminary placed

on a permanent basis. Therefore,

1. Resolved, That we are highly gratified to hear of the continued prosperity of Hed-ding Seminary, in despite of the condition of the country consequent upon the slave-

holders' rebellion.

2. Resolved, That we re-affirm our confidence in Hedding Seminary, as conducted byits present able Principal, Prof John T. Dickinson, and the efficient corps of teachers

associated with him.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

3. Resolved, That we will cheerfully co-operate witli the Trustees and Financuil Agentin their eftbrts to relieve the institution of debt.

4. AV.W)vv/, That Revs. F. Smith, R. Hanev, A. Fislier and Wm. Underwood be ap-

pointed Trustees ; and that the Preachers stationed at Galesburg, Knoxville, Avon,Prairie City, Berwick and Abingdon Circuit and Station, be appointed Visitors to attend

its aunu;il examinations.

5. Jiiwhvd, That the presiding Bishop be requested to appoint Rev. F. M. Chaffee,

Financial Agent.

GRAND PRAIRIE SEMINARY.

Wherc'is, The citizens of Onarga, Iroquois County, and the ministers and member-ship of our church in the bounds of .Vliddleport District, have organized a corporation,

under tlie statutes of the state of Illinois, for the purpose of erecting in the town of

Onarga suitable buildings, and opening a Seminari/ for the education of the youth of

both sexes in said district ; and,

Wfureas, Said corporation has asked for the official patronage and fostering care of

the Central Illinois Annual Conference, and has given satisfactory assurances of their

intention and ability to establish a Seminary, in the proper sense of that term, and wor-

thy of the name, as well as to erect and complete the same unincumbered with debt

;

and,

Whi rcas. We believe such an institution is needed in that section of the Conference,

and that it will not only not interfere with, but will, on the contrary, only properly sup-

plement the other institutions now enjoying the patronage of the Conference ; there-

fore,

1. Resolved, That we cordially extend to the Grand Prairie Seminary our sympathy andpatronage.

2. Resolved, That the presiding Bishop be respectfully requested to appoint Rev. G.

W. Gray, A. M., Principal, and the Presiding Elder of the Onarga District, Agent of

Grand Prairie Seminary.3. Resolved, That the preachers stationed at Dwight, Middleport, Onarga, Loda, Fair-

bury, Chebanse and Ash Grove be appointed a Visiting Committee for the current year.

MERCER FEMALE COLLEGE.Resolved, That in accordance with the request of the Trustees of the Mercer Female

College at Keithsburgh, the presiding Bishop be requested to appoint Rev. C. M. Wright,A. il., I^rincipal of that institution.

THE BIBLE AND COMMON SCHOOLS.

Your Committee being deeply impressed with the necessity of moral instruction as a

co-ordinate branch of education in our Common Schools, and being convinced that nosystem of moral instruction can be depended upon as thorough and efficient without the

use of the Bible, would respectfully report the following resolutions for the adoption of

this Annual Conference; viz.,

1. Resolred, That we regard the Bible as the only authoritative text-book of morals

extant, and believe that its teachings have been so graciously adapted, by its Divine

Author, to the capacities of the youthful mind, that if diligently studied in our CommonSchools it is able to make our children wise unto salvation.

2. Resolvid, That we earnestly recommend the introduction of the Bible into all the

Common Schools of the state, as a book of reading and study ; believing that a moregeneral knowledge of its precious contents, and a more strict observance of its sacred

precepts will l)ut promote the political, social and domestic happiness of our people, andwill attbrd us the only security for the stability of our government and the perpetuity

of our free and happy institutions.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.

Whereas, .John P. Brooks, a member of this body, has been called by the suffrages ofthe people of the state of Illinois to fill the office of State Superintendent of Public

Instruction ; and.

Whereas, We deem such a calling a fitting and appropriate public recognition of the

fundamental and indissoluble relation between true education and the Christian relig-

ion ; therefore,

Resolved^ That we respectfully request the presiding Bishop to return the name of


John P. Brooks upon the Minutes as Superintendent of Public Instruction in the state

of Illinois.

Hesoli'ed, That, in accordance with the resolution of last year, 0. S. Munsell, G. W.Gray and A. D. McCool, be appointed a Standing Committee on Education to preparefor and conduct our Educational Anniversary at our next annual session.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Signed in behalf of Committee,0. S. MUXSELL. Chairman.

1. That the Sunday School is not merely an appendage, but an ititcgral part of the

church.

2. That we look upon the Sabbath School as the training department of the church

for laying the foundation of the intelligence tind usefulness of her future membershipand ministry.

S. That we educate our people to give preference to our publications in purchasing

,Snnday School Books.4. That we rcs])ectfully request our Book Agents to publish, at as early a day as pos-

sible, a teachers', officers' and bible class library.

5. That the graduated series of text-books published by our Book Concern, at the re-

quest of the last General Conference, are eminently suited to the wants of our SundaySchools, and we earnestly recommend that they be adopted in all our schools.

6. That in making out our statistical reports we will follow the " Preacher's Manual,"which defines Bible Classes as those taught by the pastor, or some one approved byhimself, and that Infant Classes are those only that are taught orally.

7. That we recommend all our Sunday School oflBcers and teachers to read the

"Teachers' Journal."

8. That we are utterly opposed to the suspension of any of our Sunday Schools dur-

ing the winter season.

9. That in those districts where no District Sunday School org-anization exists, werecommend the Presiding Elder, at an early day, to call the preachers. Sunday School

officers and teachers of the district together, and organize a Sunday School Society, andin all the districts there be held regular meetings of fhe oi-ganization, in such num-bers and places as that all the Smiday School officers and teachers may be reached, that

a fjiir proportion of the time be spent in inquiry after the best methods of conducting

classes and schools.

10. That singing forms an important part of Sunday School instruction, and that weurge upon the pastors and superintendents the importance of giving more attention to

it in all our schools, and that among the best singing books for the purpose is the

"Sweet Singer," latelv published bv oar Book Concern.A. C. PRICE, Cliairman,

4. ON THE BIBLE CAUSE.

Your Committee on the Bible Cause beg le ive to report for adoption the following

resolutions; viz.,

1. Jie.sfJved, That we have full confidence in the American Bible Society.

2. Renoli'ed, That the plan adopted by Rev. A. Lord, General Agent for Illinois, for

supplying the destitute and raising funds, has proved to be more efficient than any system

adopted by sister states ; as. for example, this state rcmit.s more, annually, to the Parent

Society than the total amounts from Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Indi:ma and

EEPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 29

Wisconsin. Depositories in every townsliip, local agents in every school district fur-

ther prove the excellency and eflSciency of" this plan.

3. Jif.-iob'€d, That the fact that this state has paid to the Parent Society at New York,over and above its expenses, forty-one thousand dollars for the year ending March 1,

1863, calls for praise and gratitude to the Got^of the Bible for his blessing which hasattended the labor of his servants the past year.

4. Jiesolved, That the Bible Cause is our cause, in common with all other branches ofthe Christian church, and that we will co-operate with the agents of the societv, whenthey visit our charges, assist them in carrying out their plans, present the subject toour congregations, in their absence, take collections and attend to the distribution ofBibles and Testaments in our pastoral labors.

5. i?t'.<-'/('«/. That the labors of the American Bible Society, and its auxiliaries, sincethe war commenced, in supplying the army and navy with nearly two million copies ofthe Scriptures, is a work which commends itself to the prayerful regard and generoussupport of every Christian and patriot in the land.

6. Remlved, That the spirit of the age and the condition of our country, demand re-

newed and increased efforts on the part of every Christian minister, layman and patriot

in the work of Bible distribution. •

7. Hesolved, That we will endeavor to make as full reports as possible of the amountscontributed bv our congregations.

In behalf of Committee.

6. ON TEMPERANCE.

Your Committee on Temperance beg leave to report as follows

:

W/ierea.% We have seen with pain and increasing anxiety for the future welfare of

our country, the growing influence of the sale and use of intoxicating liquors in our

land, and in view of the increased temptation to the use of such liquors by our youthin the army, we are more than ever impressed with the necessity of energetic, methodi-

cal and persevering effort to withstand this evil ; therefore,

Besolivd, That we will, by speech in public and in private, from the pulpit and from the

stump, through the press, and in every appropriate manner, and on all proper occa-

sions, discountenance and condemn the manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating li-

quors—whether in the form of wines, either matVe of the grape, currants or other ber-

ries, lager beer, fermented cider, whisky, ale oi brandy. And, further, will urge the

necessity of active efforts to destroy the use antl traffic on the one hand, and on the

other to keep from the very appearance of evil in this matter, by refusing ourselves

and advising others to refuse having any connection with liquor establishments, by wayof renting rooms, houses, buildings or tenements, or selling corn to be manufacturedinto such liquors. And, God being our helper, we will endeavor to reclaim the drunk-

30 CENTRAL ILLINOIS CONFEKENCE.

ard and moderate drinker, and do whatever we can to save our country from the ruin

that threatens, and is fallinj^ upon thousands of our fellow-men, from this great curse.

Resolved, That, as the use of intoxicating liquors is not the only mode of intemperate

indulgence, but, in the use of tobacco, opium, &c., many are injured and, in some of these

regards, good men, and even ministers, do greatly err and injure their licalth and useful-

ness, as well as set a bad example to otlicrs, we do recommend all interested to makethese matters subjects of prayer and self-examination before (rod, and heartily to re-

pent and turn from their evil ways, that God may be honored in our bodies as well as our

spirits which are his.

of Peoria Wesleyan Seminary, report

:

We submit herewith the statement of the Committee appointed by the Trustees to

settle up the claims and liabilities of that Seminary, which shows that all the property

the hands of the committee 8134.27, and note on M. E. Church in Peoria of *:i<>0.00,

VII.

EESOLUTIO^'S AND LAW QUESTIONS.

Wfiereas, Our Swedish brethren, feeling the absolute need of a paper in their ownlanguage, in which they could defend our doctrines and church against the continuedassaults of opposers, have started such a paper, under the name of " Sandebztdet" (TheAmbassador), which is now issued weekly, and which, up to this day, has been self-

sustaining, with the exception of the editorial work, which has been gratuitously given

to it ; therefore.

Resolved, That we, the members of the Central Illinois Conference, in conferenceassembled, do hereby instruct our delegates to the next General Conference to use their

best endeavors to have the General Conference adopt said paper as a regular churchpaper, to be conducted on the same plan as our other church papers, and in case of

guch adoption to appoint its editor and provide sufficient means to pay for its editorial

work.Resolved, That we will recommend our official and influential members to furnish by

some means the pews of our churches with a certain number of hymn books, in orderthat our singing may thereby be improved

Resolved, That a committee, consisting of J. G. Evans, 0. W. Pollard and G. W. Gray,be appointed to procure blanks, and a book corresponding thereto, for the use of the

Conference, according to our present rules and regulations.

Resolved, That we approve of the editorial course of Dr. Eddy, in the NorthvestemChristian Advocate, and that we request our delegates to vote for and use their influence

in favor of his re-election.

Resolved, That our delegates to the General Conference be requested to use their in-

fluence to secure a disciplinary provision, limiting the time during which any man mayiiold the office of Presiding Elder to four years in eight.

Resolved, That we hereby tender to the pastors and membership of the various church-es, and to the citizens of Canton, our hearty thanks for the Christian courtesies andgenerous hospitality extended to this Conference during its present session.

Resolved, That the thanks of this Conference is due our beloved Superintendent,Bishop Scott, for the Christian and gentlemanly manner in which he has presidedamong us, and we tender him our hearty thanks, and will pray for his future health andhappiness.

Resolved, That the thanks of this Conference are hereby tendered to Rev. C. Springerfor his diligence and faithfulness in providing for our comfort during our stay in Canton.

The following law questions were proposed to the Presiding Bishop

:

I. " When a superannuated member of a sister Conference, residing in the boundsof our Conference, concludes to withdraw from the church, can the Presiding Elderwhere he resides give him a certificate of withdrawal?" Answer, "Xo."

II. " Is a brother under obligations to attend the taking of depositions, when the

time specified for the taking of said depositions will necessarily prevent his reachingthe opening session of his Conference V"

Answer, "The duty of a Methodist traveling preacher to attend the session of his

Conference is fundamental and paramount. It is therefore not his duty to attend thetaking of depositions when the time specified for taking them will necessarily preventhim from being present at the opening session of his Conference."

III. " When a local preacher, holding parchments from a sister church with whomwe have no fraternal relations, is received into our church, and refuses to have his

orders recognized according to our usages, should his Presiding Elder forbid him to

CKCrcise his office as a Deacon or Elder?" Answer, "Yes, most assuredly."

66 CENTRAL ILLINOIS CONFKKENCE.

A WORD

m;e]mbeii8S of the conit'erence.

Dear Brethren—Preparing the Detailed Missionary Report for the press is quite a

task, and he who has the work to do shonhl receive all the assistance

possible from the pastors. Having had some experience, I would beg

the privilege of making the following suggestions

:

1. In taking your Missionary subscriptions, be careful to get the cor-

rect orthography of the contributors' names.

2. Procure a small blank book in wliich to make out your detailed

report.

3. Write (names especially) in a plain hand.

4. On the first page write the name of the district to which your

•charge belongs.

5. On the second page write thie name of your woi'k, and immedi-

:ately after it commence your report.

6. Give the names of the contributors in the order of the size of

the contributions, beginning with the largest and ending with those

who have given fifty cents.

7. Follow this with the amount given by your Sunday Schools.

8. For sums under fifty cents say "cash," including the total of such

"smaller contributions in one amount.

9. Give but one summing Up, and be sure that your calculation is

•correct, and tliat it agrees with your report to the Treasurer and Sta-

tistical Secretary. (I had to make several corrections this year to

^ake the detailed reports agree with the Treasurer's book.)

ADDRESS. 67

10. Make a calculation and give your average per member, immedi-

ately under your sum total.

11. Sign your name as pastor

12. In the back part of the book give a list of the names of those

who are to be constituted life members of the Parent or Conference

Missionary Societies—giving first the list for the Parent, and then for

the Conference Society.

13. Have this work, if possible, all done before you come to Con-

ference, so that you may furnish the Missionary Secretary your reports

on the first day of the session, and you will greatly oblige my succes-

sor, Brother A. Bower.

romatic Refracting Telescope—five inch aperture and six and ahalf feet focal distance ; thus offering un-

usual facilities for the study of the various Natural Sciences. We have also the nucleus of a good Library

of 1000 volumes.

We would specially call attention to our new department of Vocal Mudc, uiider the care of Prof. H. C.

DeMotte.

This Instrument is designed expressly for public and private Schools, Public HalU and small Churches.After having finished and sold over 30,000 Melodeons orf our usual varieties, we found that something

•different was needed to meet the wants of Schools, small Churches and Public Halls. We think that wehave succeeded in producing an instrument which is unrivaled In tone, brilliancy, compass, and (last

thouirh not least) cheapn^^. It has nearly double the volume of tone of our $150 Double Reed Melodeon,and thisis produced by the greater capacity of bellows and sounding board, in connection with a peculiarmethod of voieiiif/ t/i€ i-eeds. ^The Graduated ^icell and Divided Swell are attached to this instrument, and we think the em;ct ie

superior to anything we have produced before. The advantages of this insti-ument are

—

1st. It has more coirpass than auy other double reed instrument ever offered at the same price, thesmallest being/<>(/>' ami a half octaves, which is-the usual compass of the. key-boards of the largest organs,and the largest full^/r"c« octure-i.

2d. It has more volume of tone than any reed instrimient ever offei-ed to the public at double the price.3d. It has two stops, by means of which the tone can be modulated to suit all occasions.4th. It has the Ditiided Swell, which is only to be found in melodeon'* of our manufivcture.5th. It has the " Graduated Swell," wliich is admitted to be the most desirable improvement ever added

TLO melodeons, and which is patented by us. and used exclusively in- our instruments6th. It has the " Improved Valve," or pallet, being a coraWnation of cloth and leather, insuinng the dur-

.ability of the instrument, and long needed as a substitute for the India rubber valve, which hafi causedso mu-ch troui-lely (Rssolrin^ and stidziny of the rubier.

Finally, it meets the wants of those for whom it wasintended.We have a large force of workmen employed exclusively in the constructien of these instruments, and

•our facilities for manufacturing are such that we can fill all orders promptly.

Particular Notice.—The public wUl l)ear in mind that these instrument-s have two sets ofreed.s tutied in octtircx, and the volume of tone is nearly double that of any other reed instrument of tiie

jiind. Also, that the Basxo Tenuto or Sitl'-Jiass, which we patented on the 24th of June, 1S02, is at-

tached to all our School Organs without extra charge.

MASOJJ & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN,For these reasons : 1st. The quality of tone is such that it does not pall upon the taste, Uke a diet of

candy. While it has great purity and sweetness, it can be made solid, sonorous and powerful.

2d." The Double Bellows enables you to keep an abundant supply of wind with but little exertion.

8d. The Automatic Bellows Swell", which we unhesitatingly pronounce the greatest invention of modernlimes for instruments of this class, enables you by the mere act of blowing to produce tones from the mostdelicate to the most powerful, by rapid, or by almost imperceptible gradations.

4th. In instruments with two sets of reeds, a " knee-st^p " obviatej the necessity of taking the handsfrom the key-board, in changing from one to both, or vice rfrxa. •

5th. They are so well made that, whether large or small, in oak, walnut or rosewood cases, oiled or pol-

ished, plain or ornamented, they are always agreeable to the eye and ear, as they are of fine form, keepin tune, and do not get out of order. •
