Sixty-four per cent O1 the students were Metiodists, a number of them preparing tor the ministry. A subscription for the relict of some sick and Needy members was taken up, ‘WHICH REALIZED OVER ONE THOUSAND ONE HUN- DRED DOLLARS. The Committee on Necessitous Cases submitted & preliminary report of the amounts to be paid to superannuated preachers, widows, &c., in 1875. ‘The tota! estimate is $12,000, the separate amounts of relie: ranging from $50 to $850, {his money is wraised by collections in the churches, The Conierence then adjourned to give place to | the,meeting of the Ministers’ Mutual Assistance Society. ‘his association has 160 members and is | nearly fifty years old, It was iormed ior the pur- pose of mutual aid, and the rights of membership are acquired nyse payment of $20, Rev.

An auditing committee was appointed to exam- ine the accounts of the Treasurer, and also a com- mittee to nominate officers jor the ensuing year. Dr. J, M. Ret made a stirring appeal to the Meeting, describing the hardships of ministers and sue burdens and sorrows of their widows and or- ans. ° Dr. A. M. OSBORNE urged the ministers who do not belong to the society to join it, and expatiated | on the vast umount of good it hau already Wrought. The Auditing Committee reported tnat they had examined the Treasurer’s accounts and HAD FOUND THEM PERFECTLY CORRECT. | The Nominating Committee submitted the fol- | Aowing list of oficers for the ensuing year:—J. M. Lewis, President; C. 8. Brown, Vice President; J. | P, Hermanse, Recording Secretary; T. Lodge, Cor- responding Secretary; W. J. Browning, ‘Treasurer. ‘They were elected. ‘The Treasurer reported that the society had ,$15,000 in invested ‘1unds—$o,000 more than last | ‘year—and that it never was in sv prosperous a con- dition as now, A committee was appointed to receive contribu- tions and names of new members, and the inceting | then adjourned, The meeting of the Tract and Sunday School Union in the alternoon was well attended, and aa- dreases were delivered by Kev. J. P. Swilt and by several other ministers. In the evening there was ameeting of the Conference Missionary Society, | addressed by Rev, J. W. Ackerley and others, New York East Conference. This Conference spent an hour in devotion yes- terday in Simpson Methodist Episcopal caurch, Brooklyn. Business commenced where it was broken off on the day previous, at the examina- tion of character of the supernumeraries,” The following brethren were granted or were continued in this relation :—S. U. Keeler, W, T. Gilbert, A. S. Francis. Revs. W. H. Loomis, A. M. Oimstead and J. 0. Thomas, supernumeraries, were restored to the effective ranks, The superannuated preachers ‘Were continued in their relations as such, Father Griswold, of Danbury, briefy addressed the Con- ference. For forty years he had never missed being present at its annual sessions. He had done a little effective work during the year, and he wished his brethren, when they saw _ him at camp meetings or other gatherings of the saints, to give him an opportunity to advise and | counsel with them and to speak a word tor his Master. He did not want to be buried alive. He ‘would be giad, also, if they would call and see him ‘whenever they were up his way. A characteristic letter was received trom Rev. Samuel Dunn, of Cornwall, Sngland, who is constructively a super- annuated member of this Conference. He gave a brief account of his spiritual condition and work, “end enclosed $50 for Conference claimants. Last year Presiding Hider sing was appointed to receive moneys for Mrs, E. A. Hadley, whose hus- band, @ beloved minister, had died during the | Session of the last Conference. He asked for the | appointment of a committee to audit his accounts, tha: he might be relieved of further responsibility, | Ordered, ‘The following named brethren were ADMITTED INTO FULL CONNECTION, they having travelled two years on trial:—Kevs, David MeMulien, about whom there was a lively debate last year because of iis age (iorty) and the number of bis children (eight); J. T. Langlois, Perry Chandler, W. L. Holmes, W. C. Tompkinson, ‘T. W. Bethel, G. A. Parkington, Robert Roden and Wuliam Brown. Rev. D. L. Lounsbury was discon- tinued at his own request, and FE, A. Blake, not present because of sickness, was continued on trial. Brothers Langlois, Holmes, Bethel ana Parkingtou were admitted to deacon’s orders and Brother Tompkinson to elier’s orders. ‘These brethren will be ordained on Sunday. ‘The case of J. W. Bethel evoked a little discus- sion, and some epposition was made to his recep- tion because he lad asked a brother to do him a favor by committing anerror. A committee, con- sisting of evs. Buckley, Willis and Weed, was ap- “pointed to investigate the matter, which it did, | and reported promptly in favor of his admissicn. The case of Brother Roden, of the New York City ‘Mission, also evoked some discussion. Objection Was made to him that his health is too poor to Admit of his doing tull, efective work; that his edu- cation and culture were not such as to reflect credit ou the Gonlerence, &c.; but these objections were ‘met by Presiding Elder Merwin, Kev. W. McAlister, Dr. Crooks and others, Dr. Merwin declared that ‘Brother Koden haa done effective work duriug the year, anc that he believed the Conlerence would always have such work for such men. In regard to bis Culture Brother AicAlister remarked that ten ears ago sir, Roden was @ proiessor in one of our justitutions, which he thought was sufficient answer to that objection. Dr. Crooks sald tt had deen shown that this brother was a cultured man, ‘@ tur average preacher, an elective missionary, With good probabilities of future usefulness, and that Was as much as could be said about most of them. ‘These were ELEMENTS OF POWER IN ANY MAN, And the Conference should be careiul how it ex- cluded any brother. When Dr. Kirk, of Boston, Orst appeared before council he was laughed at {or his nistukes, but when he appeared the second time every one was amazed asked if he were the young ivan at whom they had previoasiy laughed. Young men improve, and in this case there are strony probabilities.

Do you know he rules of the society (mean- thereby the Mothodist HMscopal Church, to which Wosiex at (rat wave the Line gagieuel t' Da & | the Conterence.) | ran, | mainly to injuries to person, | dian, the Bavarian, | been preserved tnt the mission of woman, 48 drawn from Grecian | you,keep them?

(tuese rules call (or diligence and seriousness in the work o1 the ministry; lO avoid evil speaking or giving ear to it; to live in brotherhood with all men; to avoid affectation; to be ashamed of nothing out sin; to be punctual to devote all one’s time to the saving of souls, and to submit cheer- fully and wiilingly té Church authogity,) Are you determmed to employ ali your time in the work of God? Will you endeavor not to speakstoo long or too loud? Will you cn aed instruct the children in every place? Wiil you visit from house to house ? Will you recommend fasting or abstinence both by precept aud example * Are you in debt?” ‘These are the questions, eighteen in number, put to every young man seeking admission into the Methodist ministry. The bishops may put other questions also, not included here, such a3 relate to temperance, the use Of tobacco and the like. But the above are disciplinary questions, and must be put and answered, In lis address the Bishop expounded very clearly the Church’s meaning of these several tuquiries. He reminded the candi- dates that they were at liberty now, after having tested tne POLITY AND WORK OF METHODISM | for two years, to step out it they so desired, without any detriment at all to themselves or to the Church, It was equally the right of the Conterenco to ask them to step out if it saw Mt co do so. ‘To the Con- ference this is always an lateresting period. It re- minded them of younger days, when they, too, stood inthe position oi Cuese young men and answered these questions. It is weil (or them vo remember that they stand here, too, betore God, We ask this first question, said the Bishop, because our Churcn emphaucally built on the foundation o1 Jesus Christ, ‘There is no misgiving on this potat in our Churen, and we can have neither misgiving nor weakness here. And if you have not a full and hearty taith in the work aud mission of tue Lord Jesus Christ you are in the wrong place here, ‘there isno home here for any man who is weak on ts point. Has Christ become a personal, living Saviour to you, aud can you go out and preact that fairhy It 1s asublime experience, aud wt the Gospei did not give us this faith and assurance it would falishors of being the power of God unto salvation. Are you groaning after perfection o: love? Addressing himsell to the older brethren of the Conterence, who had answered these questions tive, ten, twenty years ago, perhaps, he asked what has your groauing amounted tot May the Lord tit us alt ths experience! he prayed, and responsive “amens” came trom all arts of tue house. Weare here to-day, said tae ishop, to make Methodist ministers. While he had the highest respect aud esteem tor all other denominations, as Metuouists they did not want Presbyterian or Baptist miuisters in their ranks, ‘They Wanted men who understand and will PREACH THE DOCTRINES OF METHODISM. Are you then, he askea, clean-cut Methodists, 80 that you may be happy in our societies? Have you considered the rules ol w preacher? Are you ready to step out now and say that the yoke 1s too heavy for you? Or do you desire to continue in this work? Isupmit that after you have come into this Church and this ministry you are not at liberty to object to it or tu try to mend its rules. ‘The preacier 1s the man who to a great extent sends himself to his appointments, It isa bigger job to undertake to mend our rules tuan itis to keep them, ‘here is not a single thing in fhe polity of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which it can be said, This is a made thing; 1t nas grown and evolved itself to meet the wants of men, It 1s a waste of time, therefore, for you to sit down to mendit. Method- ism Will mend itsell, The muititude outside don’t know much about this great Methodist “ipiscopal Church ; and tuere are many in tt, also, wuo know very littie about tt, Study it weil, but keep quiet about i do better at forty-five you will think has been @ great deal better done by others, By kecp- iug quiet, thereiore, at tais time you will save yourselves irom inconsistencies. This system of Methodism is not designed merely to take this city er New York, but the world 1s its parish. What might be good lor one or two men or ior one or two cities may not be so good for 13,000 men and for the worid. Lam not one, said the Bishop, but one of 13,000—one o1 a great host engaged in conquering the world tor Curist. My relation 18 eunobied thereby. Tne class were then cautioned against secularization. ‘The bane of any church is A secularized ministry—a ministry who are al- ways looking out tor good chances to make money aud to speculate. We have too much money now even in Paahingon, though there they are going into inflation. (This hit drew forth applause trom —E ting and inoney making we need a class of men who sbail not love money, You have not time, the Bishop remarked, to be a preacher and to muke money too, You wili have as much as heart aud hand can carry in your regular work. Are you ready, then, to take Work in the Methodtst min- | istry at $500 or $600a year? But it is not thissum itis $500 a year and a hundred homes to | alone. 0 into; it 1s $500 4 year and a thousand souls to look alter and to save; it is $500 & year and the | smile of God resting upon you; itis $600 a year | saying, ‘Well done, good and faivhiul servant; it 1s $600 a year and a crown Oi life eternal ior you by and by. Are you willing to accept the work o1 the Methodist Kpis- copal Church on these terms ? AN AFFECTED AUDIENCE, This peroration of the Bishop affecced the hearts and the eyes of the Conterence and tue multitude of Visitors, and, as the questions were then put separately to the zlaas, each candidate answered them affirmatively, The toilowing applications for admission on triai were received and laid on the table temporarily :— | Parker, Twenty-seventh street church, — Lindsa, New York city; E.

Aiso Brothers Williams and Wayman, of the Alrican Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn; Revs. Alabaster, of Central New York Conierence; D. Jecker, o1 El- mira, and Dr. KE. 0. Haven. Round afternoon and the Church Extension society met in the evening. Lecture by the Rev. George W. Samp- son, LL. D., Before the New York Liberal Club. The large hall of Plimpton Building was well filled last evening by a very select audience, who came to hear the Rev, Dr. George W. Sampson's lecture on “Medieval Military Governments.” The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. L. urmsby, the Secretary being Mr. D, T. Garner. The lec- turer spoke substantiaily as follows:— In considering the medixval empires the linging princtpies jully developed at the open- ing of the pew era must be recalled. These four suould be especially noted—First, law may be arbitrary aud the penalty severe, because of the rough ile of a people; second, law may be elaborated by civilization, and the government | which administers it in the hands of corrupt men; third, with good laws and a just government a state of war may require the suspension of civil law and give arbitrary authority to the Chief Executive; and, fourth, Corrupt men, under the Juim to religious authority, may usurp dominion over voth law and government, ‘The shliting bril- lance and gicom of the Middie Ages cannot ve un- ‘stood Without noticing these principles. In rtherm and Central Europe rude tribes with uy noble tratts lived under military chieftains, Mariage Was never more sternly guarded, and at times Woman was adored in Knight errantry. Land Was held by chieftains, tevants paying rental in produce and miittary service. Laws related plunder ot prop- imsult to Jemales, Penalties were inflicted by personal duel, by amily ana Mrends, and they were either corporal or compounded by tines. The ecciesiastics suc: ceeded to the Druids ins autnority, ‘Ine laws Of the Visigoths—still supreme in spain—give the authority of the Old Druids to priests, and the oarh to be taken by a Jew becoining a Christian con: tained im three pages of law Latin is fearial. ‘he erty ‘and famous Salic law gives personal property by in- | heritaace to sons and daughters, and, if there are no chiidren, to the heirs o1 the sister of the mother first, and then to those of the sister of the fath but landed property could go oniy to a male heir, because all land was subject to a tax of personal Military service. ‘he Salic law is named irom the German-Franks, Who came trom the River Isel or Ysala; the Kipuarian from those living on the banks of the Rhine; to which are added the Burgun- the Frisonian, the Saxou and the All-Mannian, or ail-men’s—the name tound py ‘Lacivus and still the French name for Germans. In Western Asia, under the Koran of Mahomet, a military empire grew up. Polygamy was Une per- quisite of military rank; the soidiery remaining unmarried, All laud was heid subject to we despot, Who took all its produce ept & living for the tenants. Penalties were corporal. trials instant aod arbitrary, and ecclesiastical despotism Was anatical, In the Close of the eiguth and the beginning of the ninth ceutury Greek philosophy and Koman law began to be studied. At Bagdad, | on the Ligrts, Haroun-al-Raschid and Al-Mamoun | had the Grecian and Roman ciassics translated; but the Mahometan doctors crushed the spirit of philosophy because it threatened the Koran. Then suc seeded the ages of ideal, material, scep- tic and mystic philosophy. Cousin’s analysis prov- ing true even in Arabiae Then arose Lon-Roscha, or Averroés, of whom Kénan wrote ably in 1552. Devoted to the physical study of natural science and to jurisprudence as taught by Aristotle, Aver- rods Was soon silenced aud his works burned by Mahometan dervises. Fortunately Averrots lived in Cordova, Spain. He was admired by Jew- ish and Christian scnolars, and his works have gh them. His testimony to ideas, is worthy to immortalize him, Though a Mahometan, pitlosophy, especially as applied to Jame. gould pot be reggucued With [ue Mahewe laa At twenty-five wuat you think you could | And in tits ume of money get- | head aad | ‘The Ladies’ and Pas- | tor’s Christian Union held their anniversary im the | system, and Mahometan polity and lows are un- Sappeed to this day. 3 triumph ia bringing into old Northern barbiriaw codes th rit of Grecian morals, Roman laws aod a@ truer Christyan faith, began with the capitularies, or edicts of Char- Jemagne, and the code ot Alfred. ‘The next lecture of the course will be detivered on Friday evening, April 24, by Professor Samp- ‘son, when he will continue to develop this subject. PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Charch Membership Discussed. Plymouth lecture room was crowded to its ut- most capacity last evening. Aiter the customary services Mr, Beccher satd:—We bave a large mem- bership and it is a wood deal scastered, We are in the habit of keeping them under correspondence once or twice a year to know how they fare, Mr. Beecher requested Brother Halliday to read the letters ne had. Brother Halliday stated that he had received forty letters in six weeks in answer to those he had written, The first he read was from Brother Groves, in Jacksonville. Brother Halliday had considerable difficulty in reading the letter and Mr. Beecher asked bim if it was poor writing. Mr. Halliday said no, the writing was well enough, but the light was bad, and offered the letier to Mr. Beecher to read, which be could not do with any great readiness. The writer, in telling of the progress of the children in the schools there, said, “One little girl wrote ber name on tne blackvoard as plainly as L could.” (Laugnter.) Another letter expressed a desire that Mr. Beecher might live to be as old as the hills ol Scotland. Another, in answer to Brother Halll- day’s recommendation to joiu a cuurch where he lived, said that it was as impossible tor him to join another church as it would be to adopt another mother because lie was away from his own, Mr. Beecher sald:—I wanted to know what these letters contained, because I wanted to speak on the subject. You kuow the difference between Paul’s power of inward life and his cgntemptible outward appearance; the ignominious figure he is Obliged to cut. When he is - GOD'S MESSENGER he 1s cast down aud despised. Take a man in the world and ask him why he don’t umte with some church, and he says, “I don’t see what there is particular to make ime want to | Jom.” Atter a man’s curiosity 1s satisfied, | can understand that ue may think. joining the church Was a shadowy thing, and this is tue experience, dn great churches uke ourown, where ceremony is dispensed with, there is pothing that strikes the eye or the ez Now, tn the Episcopal and | Some other churches there 18 @ great deal that addresses the eye and the eal We have nothing of that kid ou which we place reliance to | produce eect; but yet you will find that stronger | | Impulses of human nature are felt im church life; tine | strains of tenderness and aifection scarcely known | anywhere else outside of the nursery, You will | find a burning affection in such a church as this. | You will find that something or other does cer- tain.y take the soul out of its ordinary habitude: In the first piace, in church lie, where it is pro; erly conducted, we don’t come together by our lower natures at all; ali frets and cares are re- moved. if we were to live together all the time we would not appear such saints as we do now.

In the first Place, in consequence of our common weakness, | outside every oue tends to defend dimself; but im | | church life we all stand bn the common ground of inirmity, breaking ico sin. ‘Tiere never was a greater mistake than the adoption of cetain fig- | ures of Scripture ior everyaay use.

Ordi- nary experience shoud not be intrusive, but there 1s an abiaing consciousness that we are bound together by our common weak- | ness. do we come together in church fellowship?

Now I have seen a great deal o! affection, secn love be- | gun and love going on, and yet I have seen no love more rare im its essence, more enduring, than tue love of Christians who | have hoped aud loved and worked together. Love brings us here from week to week, | | and we are pouring our best experiences into the | common lot, and tne lie growing out o! this is one of the highest, and those who ave had it seidom lose the favor, and it is to me Ratural to have such letters a8 tnose read sent to me alter years of ab- sence, and yet I don’t object to members taking | their letter8 away; 1 aim 80 loose in my ideas, you know. (Laughter.) But wnen they jeel they would | be wounded to leave f say let them stay. A man can be a member ol a church thougn he does not | enter it for twenty years.

Now all who are so well that they want to come mto_ tne chufch to shower down blessings on us we don’t | want. We have our God to shower down biessings. | They may come because they need to come. | | We want those who have begun to dedicate their | thoughts and purposes to Jesus Christ. We ask them to come because they are babes in Christ. [ | have seen a great many persons come in with a flash and flare and go out ashes, aud a great many like little plants that grow to large trees. [ don’t ask persons to come in the grandeur of strength; but, ti there are any babies, any that long to be better and are willing to be helped and loved and instructed, they are the ones to come, I think when I look back on my life that tew have had as much satisiaction. I have had a great | many more troubles than any one else, but I won't call them troubies, It makes all the difference what you call them.

Y., April 10, 1874, The inquest in the case of the young girl Anna | M. Place, an account of which was given in the HERALD to-day, was resumed at Washingtonville, Orange county, this aiternoon. District Attorney Lewis E, Carr, of Port Jervis, was present to assist the Coroner. The Dutchess county doctors who had attended Miss Place in her illuess were first sworn and ex- amined, Dr. J, S. Thorne, of the town of Wasn- ington, said that Mr. Rynus, at whose house the girl was staying, came to him late on Saturday night last and told him there was a young lady at his house ill, and wanted him to go and attend her; satd he, “Now, Doc. there is @ secret about tiis; 1 want you to snug;” the Doctor objected to xoing, under the air of mystery thrown about the case, put at length consented to go; he 1ound the girl in convulsions and laboring under severe congestion of tue brain, Dr. Case was called in to consult with him; the girl did not return to con- sciousness; the cause of death, the doctors tes- tified, was puerperal apopiexy. The doctors were unable to jearn turther particulars of the case, the Rynus amily not ~ being communicative about it. Dr. Thorne said he did not even know the name ot the girl until he was asked for a certificate of death. Dr. Ephraim Case corrovorated the testimony of his professional brother in so {ar as the circumstances had come under his observation. ‘The District Attorney then subjected Mr. Isaac | D. Place, the iather of the girl, toa searching ex- amination, but nothing of a suspicious nature was elicited beyond the tact that the poor girl owed her misfortune to some villanous nfasculine tempter. ‘This ended the testimony presented in the case, and the jury, aiter aiew moments’ deliberation, found that the girl died of puerperal apoplexy. ‘The remains were interred yeateraay.

Funch, trom Antwerp, were two Redemptorist Fathers, driven out of Germany, as they allege, by Prince Bismarck’s persecution of the Catholic Church.
