Final Session of the Colored Methedist BISHOP HOLSEY DROPS WORDS OF WISDOM ON THE SUBJECT OF GRAMMAR AND THE CON- DUCT OF PREACHERS —THE APPOINTMENTS FOR THE YRAR, ac, The closing session of the Virginia annual conference of the C. M. E. church was held at Israel C. M. E.churen last evening. Rev. Mr. Hargraves, from the committee on literature, made a report recommending that an effort be made to sustain the connectional paper, and that care be taken to exclude from the Sunday school books that “have a tendency to detract from the Sunday school,” “I think,” said Rev, Wm. H. Sherwood, “he really nieans, or Intends tosay, books obnoxious or that might hurt our minds to read. We hat better insert some other word in place of de- tract.” ‘These remarks by Brother Sherwood, who is a young preacher just admitted to the confer. enge, something of a breeze in the con- ference on the subject of grammar and rhet- orie. “A many of these preachers,” observed the Hev. Mr. Smothers, ‘come up here and make reports and talk’ about correctness in grammar, &c., and then go out and never think again about church Iterature until the confer- ence meets again the next year.” THE BISHOP ON GRAMMAR. “So far as grammar Is concerned,” said the bishop, “we can’texpect It to be the best in the world. A good many of our preachers come from the rural districts, where their associa- Hons, so far as grammar is concerned, is bad. ‘They've had to pick up what little they learn just as I did. We are getting along, though; but ‘we should not be ashamed of the day of small things. A good many folks want to criticise grammar. eriticise the songs in the ghureh, the ‘nigger hymnology,’ as itis called. Butit is part of our people. We can’t help it, Aman might as well be ashamed because he's amen, “A good many of them are,” interrupted a member. “Lf our people make mistakes in grammar,’ continued the bishop, “we ought not to laugh atthem. I know some people criticise the child-like letters in our papers. I am not ashamed of them or of our poetry. It ts bring- Ing the people out, They cali these hymus little jump-ups’ Why T have heard negro ditties that sounded to me the sweetest music lever heard. When in Europe people used to ask me to sing a negro ditty. Tam not ashamed of my people or their songs. Not even that one about the ‘washpot’ and ‘buck- Ming on the sandals,’ and fixing that thing— what do you call ft, Brother Usher-—that_thing behing? and ‘Skip, Josephine, and put on your waterfall.’ A brother having supplied to the bishop the name of “that thing behind,” the | bishop continued: “Oh yes; ‘put on your bustle.’ ‘Put on your wateriall.” “Buckle your shoes and all,’ and so on. That's all very rude, but our people are in a transitory state, but they are passing out. We are in the World, We are going out of the land of the bondage of ignorance [nto the promised land. When a preacher preaches, and makes a mis- take, it Is @ mistake for'us to muke game of | him.’ We should pray for him and pity him, I have heard some wermons that were execrable; preachers who would spit nearly across thé | chureh, and sing the pospel Gat toen itcouldn't be helped. We are gettlng’ better now. Lam | in favor of this paper,” suid the bishop, rei | ring to the organ of the conference, “going on, Iritdoes have some letters in it, whose gram: mat {s not good. | BROTHER MITCHELL AND BROTHER SHER- ‘woop. “Tam glad,” said Rev. Mr. Pierce, “that men. are wakening up to the fact that whatever Is sald of the Lord ought to be sald well. Tam glad young mon are studying. I think Brother Smothers ought not to retlect on the young men’s aspiration, as he did in laying empiusis on the word ‘grammar.’ Mr, Sherwood urged that he had not said the grammar of the report was not good. He. lad only suggested that another word ought to be used. Tuere was no need ior the “sarkostical” Temirks of Brother Smothers, Brother Mitchell, an elderly preacher, who sat in the front pew under the bishop's eve, evi- dently considered that the remarks about grammar were intended for his benefit, for he now rose and lifted up his voice. No House is ever closed against me,” he said. “They are glad to get me to preach, and when I have preached, they want me to come back. Any pr acher who has grammar enough to explain the gospel wili do. That’s grammar enough to get to heaven with.” “You ain't grammar enough to come back here now,” suid Brother Pierce, reierring to Israel church, which fs the leading charge—the Athens of the conference, “I've been here,” retorted Brother Mitchell, proudly, swelling ‘his chest, “and that’s more'd youhave, I've been here’ and you can't get hearer than Hillsdale.” ‘The committee ‘compromised by changing its report so that It referred to books contrary to Methodist Episcopal usages and teuchings, and the report. was adopted. A resolution was adopted to memorialize the several conferences to set_ apart a Sunday for taking a collection for the benefit of Israel chureh, in this city. THANKS TO THE BISHOP. Rev. Mr. McDade offered a resolution of thanks to Bishop Holsey for bis ‘indness and impar- tiality as presiding officer of the conference. Rev. Mr. Plerce did not think it right to adopt su ution. He never heard of sucha thing before. “IU 1s not customary in our church,” said the bishop, “to thank the bishops for doing their duty; it Is customary to get after them when they don't do it.” Rev. Mr. McDade safd, looking sharply at Mr. Pierce, that be thought ‘that of all men a min- ister should have courtesy, else he was not fit tobe ateacher. He did not think the brother Shouid be so“abominably aristocratic.” ‘The resolution was passed, Among other resolutions of thanks offered ‘Was one to the reporters, “I don’t know,” said the bishop,“whether we oughtto give thanks to them or not. They ovine here to get newa. ‘The reporters ought to thank us for furnishing it, I think we ought eo to charge the reporters,” The bishop, how- ever, withdrew his objections and the resolu- tion ‘passed. Thanks were also voted to Rev. R. 8, Will- fams’ congregation, at Israel church, and the people of Washington for their hospitable treat- ment of the congregation. THE TRIALS OF PREACHERS, The bishop then ascended the pulpit to per- form his last duty in the conference by an- nouneing the appointments for the year. He prefaced this by a little informal talk or ‘advice to preachers. He said those who went to new fields should not go around and hint that the man who was there before him did not know any thing about his work. Some of them were a little better educated than others; some could preach a little better than others: but they should remember that all were equal in Christ. “Another thin; I have seen in preachers,” remarked the bishop, “that ls sort Of big-headism, a sort of swell-headism. They come to.# people to bully or whip religion into them. Now is, can’t whip religion Into ahy- body. As old Bishop Asbury used to say ‘mo- Insses will gather more files than vinegar.'” He advised preachers, if they wanted to get at any particular sin or ‘weakness in thelr congrega- lions not to rebuke them too much on that point, not to harp on it, If they kept whippli a mule in one place the skin would come and the mule would kick after ® while. “Don’t give them the same old thing all the time,” said the bishop. “Don't give m stale bread = pe red fe plein oe cod Doi e color peop! jul meat mn" give them to thuch dry’thevlogy, While you are reading your old serm: two-thirds of your ‘ation are asleep. They want vim and enthusiasm. I wish we had more enthu- siastic evangelistics, who would carry fire and [—like Broth sword into heli itself. er Mitchell there.” “Ament” said Brother Mitchell. The bishop, continuing, said. the er should Visit those who lived Just as often ag those who lived well. “It iss human weak- ness,” he observed, “to go where there is the most comfort, but We have to make sacrifices. I ve eaten many a dinner I didn’t want.
