MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

of Eaton county, placing a donation of $500 00 at the disposal of the
Conference, to be funded, and the interest of at least one-half of the
amount to be added to the Parkhust Fund for the benefit of the widows
and orphans of members of this Conference who have died in the

DELEGATES TO GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Wellington H. Collins, Elijah H. Pilcher, Edward McClure, Daniel
D. Whedon, Francis B. Bangs and Rezin Sapp. Reserves, R. R. Rich-
ards and J. V. Watson.
SABBATH SCHOOL ITEMS.
1. Resolved, That we recognize in the Sunday School and in the
Sunday School literature the most efficient means of pure moral de-
velopment, and the best safe-guard against the ruinous effects of that
mental poison so popular in our day, and so destructive of all morality
and religion, namely Infidel Romance.
2. Resolved, That we highly approve of the character of the books
published by the Sunday School Union of our own church, and that
we heartily recommend that our schools be supplied with them in pre-
ference to any others.
3. Resolved, That we deem it highly necessary that the special at-
tention of the members of this Conference should be called to that
article of our discipline which requires the organization of a Sunday
School whenever ten children can be gathered together for that pur-
pose; and in view of the vast importance of the work, we pledge our-
selves to endeavor faithfully to fulfil the requirements of this article.
4. Resolved, That each member of this Conference preach a ser-
mon to the children on his charge once a quarter, during the coming
conference year, wherever it is practicable.
OFFICERS OF SABBATH SCHOOL SOCIETY.
C. T. Hinman, V. Pres.; F. A. Blades, Cor. Secretary; W. H. Col-
lins, T. C. Gardner and J. V. Watson, committee to make arrangements
for next anniversary.

attention to common schools.

The following question was submitted to the Bishop by the Confe-
rence, and answered as below:
Ques. Hoes the Dsiciplino contemplate that Stewards, once appointed by a Quar-
terly Conference, are to remain in office during good behavior, or until otherwise
removed; or has a Quarterly Conference the right of electing them for a year only?
Ans. While the Discipline makes Stewards accountable to the Quarterly Confer-
ence for the faithful performance of their duty, and gives it power to remove them
from office for good and sufficient cause shown on complaint rendered, it does, in
my opinion, contemplate that they remain in office during good behavior. The
usage of electing them for one year only, is of modem date, and exists only to a
limited extent, and is regarded by myself as an innovation on Methodist polity.
T. A. MORRIS.
Resolved, That we respectfully request the next General Confer-
ence to so alter the course of ministerial study as to require all literary
and scientific qualifications now in the course, as a pre-requiaite to ad-
mittance on trial.
Resolved, That a collection be taken in all the charges during the
month of March, to defray the expenses of the delegates to the Gene-
ral Conference, and forwarded to one of the delegates.
Resolved, That as preachers we will particularly address ourselves
to the remedying the evil existing among us in non-attendance of our
members on class meetings.
Resolved, That each Presiding Elder be requested to ascertain, and
report at the next Conference, the average attendance of our members
on class and prayer meetings.
Resolved, That the members of this Conference be requested to
solicit donations to the fund for the support of the widows and orphans
of preachers who have died in the work.

MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a Missionary Concert be held on the first Sabbat!"
evening in each month, as far as practicable.
We extract the following from the report of the Board of Managers,
presented by the Secretary, which we think will be read with much
interest:
" To the President and Members of the Missionary Society:
" How . interesting is the present moment! We stand here, this
afternoon, to review the past and contemplate the future; both of which
are fraught with deep and thrilling interest to the cause we are labor-
ing to promote. * * * It is only a few years since the
Church was inquiring, 'where can we find a spot or an opening to
plant a mission among the heathen nations of the earth ?' But now
almost every nation on the globe has thrown wide the door for the in-
troduction of the Gospel, and the Church is now calling for men and
means to enter and cultivate those new and inviting fields of labor.
The world must be brought to God, and the Church is the great agent
He has commissioned to accomplish this work. To give efficiency and
ensure success in its prosecution, her vast resources must be brought
into active requisition—none of her energies must be allowed to lie
dormant No part of the price must be kept back, or it will prove to
be the fearful price of the blood of souls. * * * *
"The missions in China, Africa, South America, Germany, Oregon,
and California have been crowned with a degree of prosperity liat
calls for more extended and powerful efforts to spread the Gospel over
those sin-clouded regions. Those under the care of our own Confe-
rence have been in a flourishing condition during the past year, and
many redeemed souls have been converted through their instrumen-
tality who are now rejoicing in the smile of the God of Missions. The
stations among the Indians and miners that arc now dotting the south-
ern shore of Lake Superior, have been sending out their streams of
light and truth, which are not only undermining pagan idolatry and
Roman superstition, but are saving and sanctifying those who are
brought under their influence.
The labors of the missionaries on the Lower Peninsula have been at-
tended with cheering results. The number of conversions is large,
especially in the bounds of the Nottaway Mission. There are five week-
day and Sabbath schools connected with these missions, which have
been well attended, and it is gratifying to witness the proficiency the

children are making in learning. In these schools the intellectual and
moral culture they receive is qualifying them for the more refined en-
joyments, the high responsibilities, and ennobling blessings of civiliza-
tion and Christianity.
" At Shimenikon, through the praise-worthy efforts of the Mission-
ary, Rev. A. C. Shaw, a neat and comfortable church has been erected
and is soon to be dedicated to the worship of the living and true God;
in which it is hoped that many a pagan Indian will consecrate himself
to the service of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
"The Gospel has, during the past year, been introduced with increa-
sing success among several bands of Indians north of the Grand River,
which inspires the friends of these exiled wanderers with the cheering
hope that the period is at hand when they shall be brought into the
fold of the Shepherd and Bishop of souls. The Treasurer's report
shows an advance upon the last year's receipts."
We regret very much we have not been furnished with a list of
life members, both of the Conference and the Parent Society.

MEMOIRS.
Rev. Octavos Mason died in great peace and christian triumph,
October 2, 1850, in the fifty-sixth year of his age and the seventeenth
year of his itinerant ministry. JEIe was a very devoted christian, a la-
borious minister, a kind and affectionate husband and father. But he
has gone to rest—his labors and sufferings are ended, and he who
bore the cross of Christ for many years, now wears the crown. His
testimony on his dying bed will clearly show his unwavering confidence
in the cause of Christ Said he to a minister present, " Preach
Christ—preach Christ;" again, "He is all my trust"
Rev. George King died, in full hope of eternal life, October 27,
1850, in the vigor of manhood, and in the midst of ministerial usefulness.
He was born January 14,1816. He became a christian and a Metho-
dist in his early youth. He lived and labored for God, and died as the
christian dieth—in peace.
