WILLIAIVI WILSON, • Township Clerk. of Wesleyan Conference. S k ecial Report. The forty-stxth • annual Wesleyait Conference com tnenf'*:ed its session on the 22nd in Toronto. More than 300 min- isters were in -attendance. The names of the ministers appointed to attend the Conference wsre announced by the Dis- trict Secretaries. The number of in- in- istert and of pieachers on trie' now connected with the Canada Conference, approaches 600. Of this large body, more than 300 were in attendance al tteir present anneal meeting. The Conferences naxt inoceedea to the elec- tion of a President for the ensuing year. Tile choice ef the bedy fell on tne Rev. W. M Punshon, A., who was elect- ed by an unanimous vote. In cornpli- auce with a nomination made by the Conference last year, the President ap- Pointed the Rev. Geo. Donglass, Montrea,, to be his Co -Delegate for the coming year. The Rev. President, on being re-elected, made an able and elo- quent speech—remarking that he felt the honor greater this yeer, as on his first appointment they took him on ttitst, while now they had re-elected him with the frel knowledge of what he was Hethtnked God and his brethern for the honorable position in which he found. hitnself. Their experience la.st year demonstrated that they were able, large as their numbers were,. and per plexing .as were the questions with which they had to deal, to transact all the business of the Confererce without anything; being said or done inconsis- tent with the si nit that should actuate Ministers of the Gotple. He expressed the hope- that this year every harsh word, every irritating expression Would be indefinitely postponed. The Co -De- legate, the Rev. George • Douglass, on taking the seat, also thanked the Con- ference for the _high honor conferred up- on hfin ; and remarked that, es the Presi- dent was so well aole to discharge the duties of his office, his work as assistant would be comparitively light. He would try as he had previously -done, in whatev-er position, to serve the church to the best of his ability. • Tile Rev. Charles Lavel, M. A., was re- elected to the office of Secretary ; and the Confereuce was, declared duly or- ganize or the transaction of business. The session on Thursday was princi- pally occupied in going over the names of the young men who had served one, two, three, and four yeaes, and the re- ceiving into full connection those. 'who I Al serve *four years.. The following, days were occupiedl TU -St A RRI1TED with general routine lausiness, and the :reception of delegates from othel deno- minations, the delegates delivering lengthy addresses, and suitable answers made by the President or some other member of the Confereece, .
