Those who have read of the troubles will recollect that the difficulty origi- nated from a repert made to the Quarterly Con- ference by the Kev. W. A. Cook as to the con- dition of the Sabbath school, in which it was stated that the school did not appear to be con- ducted on sound Methodistical principles; that many ofthe library books were religious novels, &c. The (Quarterly Conference passed a reso- Tntion requesting the school to subscribe to the Sunday School Advocate, and relating to the school becoming auxiliary to the Methodist Episcopal Sunday School. The teachers of the school in February iast held several meetings to consider the action of the Conference, after considerable debate, in which M Her Di . Squires, Revs. W. A. Cook is took part, and during which there s much feeling’ exhibited, a report, accom- panied by @ resolution requesting the Quar- terly Conference to reconsider iheir action, was ndcpted by & vote of Q9to 16. The Quarterly Conference was held on the 21th March, when the Conference re-aftirmedi's action. At this meeting the Superintendent of the school (J. 0. Harkness) presented bis 19th annual report, but it was ruled ont of order by the Presiding Eider. Some of the maembers of the Conference, on acconnt of this action, left the meeting; and on Mr. Harkness going to meet his class at their next meeting. he found that the mimster had take» charge of it, ()uite & number of the members of the Church have-+now deter- mined to withdraw jrom it.
