Dayroy, Sept. 5, 187 ‘The nineteenth annual séssion of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is being bela im thus city, 18 probably the largest body of ministers ever con- vened here, and, a3 might be expected, a reiigioas atmosphere pervades the community. Our citizens are vieing with each other to render the sojourn of these ministers among us as comfortable as possi- ble, and their hospitality on such occasions 1s equal to any other city. “All who have visited the Confer- ence are favoraply impressed with the good temper and excellent Christian feeling with which Its ardu- ous business 1s conducted. The aged—for there are many here, including the veneraole Bishop Mor- vis—are treated with great respect, and coevals ex- press themselves with due courtesy toward each otner, Some of the leading ptoneers of the West are members of this Conference and continue to take an active interest in its business, Each mem- ber seems to act us it he felt the need of cach other to bear the responsible burdens resting upon the boay, In view of the vast interests involved, great seriousness, candor and prompiness mark every movement and decision, every precedent set, with- out javoror regard for persons or pariicular cases. It is very evident they preserve inviolave every feature of the itinerancy, They claim that by it they have seen the whole country supplied with a hving ministry and @ current of hght and truth kept constantly m action upon the darkness and error of the world, which, with annual revisions, changes and extensions, and a co-operative laber, has resuitea ip achievements which stand as ine best possible proofs that the system 1s of Goa, Promwment among the delegates we tind the FIGHTING PREACHER, vetter known as the Rev, Dr. General Granville dioody, Who came from the Kentucky shore, oy way of Conference “transier,” apd who 1s the life and soul of the great congregation of Meuhodists, Dr. Moody is an eloquent aker and invariably a peals to the tender p: 3 of his audiences, He seems to understand thelr weakuesses—which, of course. 13 & great advantage to him, especially when the subject of charity is introduced. During the proceedings of the Conference the subject of in- creasing toe enaowment fand of the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, was brought up and the subject was strongly and ably advocated by Dr. ‘Trumbull in benall of the Board of Trustees of the University. Dr. Moody’s spirit was ‘tmoved” to the highest and warmest pitch, and with great earnest- ness and sublime eloquence he arose and said:— Methodism was born im the great University of Engiand. The founder jJoha Wesley) was the most learied man of Nis day, and his coadjutors were, many of them, the brightest lights that ever tra- versed the ecclesiastical and se:entific firmament. They regarded science as the handmatd of religion, ahd while we rejoice in the operation of otner Cuurches, Metuodigm in America stands abreast of te age in her itterary enterprise. Indeed, the etiorts of rauonalists and infideis in assauing Cnris- Uanity by scientific aruilery compels METHODISM, WHICH IS CHRISTIANITY in earnest, to plani her batiertes of ritled oranance. ‘The Ohio Wesleyan Unnversity is the glory of West- erh Methodism, aad the demand for large endow- esity for its existence.

In conclusion Dr. Moody recatled an instance in the history of Marvard University when an uasess- meut of a peck of corn per annum was levied and coilectea to veip sustain Lbat institution, Itis almost needless to add that the Conierence unanimously voted In favor of increasing the eadowmeat fund in question.

A large congregation gathered im the Temple Emanuel yesterday, to whom the Rev. Dr. Gutneun expounded the object of Isract’s dispersion, which 1s to teach a Knowledge of tne one living and true God to the nations of the earth. Tne congregation have now come in their regular course of Sabbath Treading of the Jaw to the Book of Numbers, which treats of the order and discipline which were to be established in their midst, because they go soon expected to enter the promisca land and because their sojourn m the wilderness for forty years made necessary these judicious regulations, ‘Tuetr ever-changing and migratory state was apt to give rise to disorder and revoit, aud it became, therefore, the more necessary to establish a point of unton and discipline for the unruly host. To this end an enumeration of the whole people was or- dered, and the camp presented the appearance of a well-organized army, according to their tribes and banners. Thes' sanctuary was THEIR POINT OF UNTON, and wherever it rested shey pitched their tents, and when tt moved forward the host fol- lowed. The sanctuary was thelr outward gulde through tne wilderness and showed them how they shonid walk according to their natural and spiritual capacity. Both the out- ward and inward progress of the people was thus indicated by the tabernacic, The entire camp was subdivided, as it were, into three camps—namely, the priests, the Levites an the people of Israel, This division was by no means tn mnitation of Egyptian castes, but was in ke tiny of Israel. Only a small proportion of the Re were called to the special service of God. They were to be without blemish and without spot; they were to be pure and wholly consecrated to their callug. It was to be thetr high privilege to be im or near the sanctuary, as the uunisters of the people required a higher degree of holiness than did Israel themselves, They were exposed to the danger also of incurring divine displeasure »nd yunisoment for desecrating the sanctuary of God, ‘The utmost caution was therefore enjoined ufon tue priests and Levites, and the separate work of each was clearly and fuily indicated 1 Nuinders iv. The relation whien the tribe of Levi. and especially tue priests, bore to tne beopic ts precisely the relation in which Israel stands (o te rest of mankind— namely, the GUARDIANS AND CONSERVATORS OF THE WORD, ministers to the race im the sanctuary of God. This mission involved a more extended range of duties, for unto Whom much 18 given of him shail much be required. Long belore Israel appeared thei mission Was announced to the patriarch Abraham. They were never to be cut off irom the families of the earta, but they were to be the beacons of truth to all future generations, What ts the nature of this mis- sion’ When Israel stood at the foot of Sinai pre- pared to receive the law the first words proclaimed to the people were, “I am the Eternal thy Go thou shalt nave no other gods oefore me. And this has been of their faith and the basis of their en- tire religious structure. God, the invisible, self existing Being, our God, the Lord of ail creation, who has estabushed jaws for all nature, mouids tne course of history, provides for, and watches over ie destiny of uations aud the lives of ail nus cnil- . the firm foundation TO GUARD THIS SUBLIME TRUTH Israel, the smailest of all the nations of the earth, was selected, The more difiiculues they have en- countered in the general acknowledgment of this trath, and the more violence there w9s or is resorted to to prevent its difaston, the more firmly grounded im Chis truth has israel become. And it will be iin- possible in the end for any one to shut lis eves against tts truth. Israel 1s the appointed living wit- ness thereof to all time and generauons, They attest by their mere existence the religious doctrine of the unity of God, and it cannot be too often repeated Uhat the preservation of this trath 1s the mission of Israel, Hence the Scriptares caforce ts doctrine and the ancient rabbies proclaimed ti. By the name of the Holy One Israel Was once saved, and by tie name of tue Holy One Israe! will be agaia redeemed, that the nations may thereby Know that beside Him there Is no Goa, It follows as a natural congequence that Israel must obey God.

But they cannot be thus brought to the truth by brute force, by the rack or the stake, or by any of those means used to drive or induce the Hebrews to accept ihe creeds of those around them. Men must be brought alone through conviction to the acknowledgment of this trith. The mission of Israel stands on a historical basis, 1018 nottike Jonah’s gourd. which sprang up in aight and did perish in a night also. But to accomplish this mission they must be CONSTANT AND FIRM IN THE FAITI ol the fathers and be wiiling to make sacrisices and to spurn all attempts to draw them away from the faith of the fathers. ‘They must strive by evergy and zeal to prove by works the spirit and te quality of thetr profersions, And in this Tespect they may, leara wholesome lessons ffom the past.
