Conference was opened lids morning with religions services by the venerable ana Rev. J. W. Townsend. A communication from Rev. C. McK. Smith, fra? ternal messenger of the South Carolina Confer? ence of the Methodist Protestant Church to this body, was read. The gentleman is unable to at? tend in person, which he very mueh regrets, but gives strong assurances that the church he repre? sents heartily desires fraternal union with the M. E. Church, South. The secretary was instructed to respond in suitable terms to his letter, and the presiding elder of Greenville District and Rev. S. Leard were elected fraternal delegates from this to that body at its next annual session. , A communication was read from Rev. Dr. kct?Mi.i.i taniuii.ri', ?ceretary of thc Board of Foreign Missions, calling attention to thc abso? lute necessity of paying off the debt against Hie boar J as early trna winter a? possible, lt was re? ferred to c special committee of one lay and one clerical member from each presiding elder's dis? trict, as foUows: G.

McElhany. local breachers, were elected Tuc credentials of Martin Eady were ordered to be restored. The ecclesiastical gave way, and the legal con? ference wrrs a short lime in session, Dr. Smith in the chair. The business transacted was in rela? tion to finances of the church, of no general in -tsrest for want of funds. . After the Bishop resumed the chair the consi? deration of the report of Special Committee on Finance wa? mode the special order for to-mor? row at 12 o'clock. N At Ul o ciocw i?r. Brahon was heard iu behalf of the interest of the Circle of Prayer. He stated that he had no speech to make. Method.st preachers need not be lectured upon the obliga tlon to pray. Methodists were peculiarly a praying people. The circles of prayer are composed of men of different denominations They originated In the little Village or Ninety-six. In Abbeville they meet every Tuesday. At each meeting a chairman and subject of discussion are selected for the next. Rvery member is required to pray when called upon, and to express his opinion upon the subject of discussion; also to give an ac? count of his experience daring the past week. They do not know each other as members of dif? ferent denominations, bnt as children of ?od, who meets with and blesses them. They are like old fashioned Methodist love-feasts. As one result, there are three to Ave times as many family alt ?irs In Abbeville as before their commencement. Thc Sractlco trains every one to pray. One question Iscussed was "What constitutes the best means fer promoting a religious revival f" This led to a resolution to have preaching every night and prayer every morning, alternating in the differ I ent churches. Many conversions was the result. Many other similar organisations sprang up. There are now fourteen In Abbeville, as many more in Anderson, some tn Laurens, Edgefleld, Ac. They hold a convention once In three months. From one recently held, at the suggestion of Me? thodist clergymen, they had been delegated to this body. God bas blessed them, and ne felt it would be wrong to let these organizations go down. Ar. Pressley was most solemnly impressed by the appearance of the body of able and Intelligent ministers before bim. He could not preach, bnt fte could give a tract and talk in private: had done so, and God bad blessed his labors. There ls no luxury equal to that of doing good-lt is an exquisite pleasure. If he thought there was one drop of sectarian blood in Us veins, he would open an artery and let it out. When nc went to Ninety-six, the brethren or the drab* took him to their arms, and talked about the best way to get to Heaven. Love of the brethren ts next to the love of God; lt lathe bond of union which binds the Christian world in one common brotherhood. - Love ls the mainspring; but there is no pleasured without doing good. Good works is tam ther ?) mometer by which to determine the warmth of the heart's affections. We want annual convoca? tions of prayer. Daily prayer is the life of the church. . Rev. 8. Leard presented the following: Resolved, That this Conference has heard with great pleasure the communications made by Dre. .J. Branch and G. W. Pressley, delegates from the -Convention of Circles of Prayer in Abbeville Dis? trict, aid that we do heartily respond to the Christian sentiments expressed by them; and that we extend our cordial sympathies to them and the cause they represent; and that we do re? commend the establishment of those circles by our preachers wherever practicable. Mr. Leard alluded In reeling sentiments to the impression made upon his own heart by the pres -ence of the gentlemen who represent thc Conven? tion of Circles of Prayer. He bad, from boyhood, kno wn the last speaker. His own parents slept in Ute graveyard, of the church where he held -membership. In his early days Methodism was not weil known or beloved In that vicinity. .Now his oid friend came here with sentiment* of the warmest regard for us. He rejoiced at the change Which bad taken place. . Rsv. J. R. Pickett seconded the resolution In 1 speech of meet hearty welcome to the delegates r: the Circles of Prayer. He was rejoiced that in hundred years snob a change had been wrought that at last the people of God had come to seek ror oaity and harmony-that the spiritual children of Joan Knox snd John Calvin and John Wesley could embrace euch other in the fraternity of a common ChrbrMan brotherhood. Rev. H. A. C. Walker remembered to have gone as agent of the American bible Society many years ago, hy appointment to the Church (Long Cane.) mare one or the delegates worshipped. On his way a good brother asked him if. he was going to presch at that seceder church. He had replied stat fte went with the open Bible in his hand. After preaotlng. he had been cordially invited to rgrrn again. "We are drawn together by the Kev. J. T. Wightman stated that for three yean such meetings for prayer had been beld in the Oty of Charleston, and that ministers of seven different denominations had united and partiel palee hi them. Mr. T. 8. Moorman stated that the Circle or Prayer originated at Ninety-six in 1865, by three rc en,who sought religious improvement, and meet? ing for that purpose in the alcove lu rear or the pulpit in the Presbyterian Church. They after? wards invited friends to join them. lu July last there were from three to four hundred praying men connected with the organization. Forty or fifty delegates were In attendance upon there cent convention in Anderson. The circles are composed of only one male member. They in? crease the harmony or the churches. Thev learn men to pray. A man that had stammered, now reeds and sings and prays. It makes young men do and talk, end trains them for usefulness in a Jrigfcer sphere. He hopes yet to witness a great Convention or areles of Prayer in Columbia. For further Information any one may address Major John Leland, of Laurens, secretary of the convention. Mr. E. H. Buist, pastor of thc Pi csb< terian Gharcft tn Cheraw, thanked God that he had lived to see thia day and this body, Hr alluded ta touching sentiments to the results f united efferu by the different pastors and their mcrnber eftip in this place during the past summer. Many had been added to their nurnoei. His re? marks were mos: appropriate, and ma? a deep impression upon.the entire audience, b e did not fear, bat de righted in American associations. Bishop Kavanangh thought the scenes of this day augured good for the church of God In South Carolina the ensuing year. He hoped to hear of i . glorious revival throughout the State, He thought the old fences which divided the denomi? nations had taken ure and would be burned op. iilt ia scarcely necessary to say that the resolu? tion of Mr. Leard were passed bv a unanimous rising vote. Fourth Day. CHERAW, December 18. Tour reporter was at fault yesterday in stating that Rev. S. Leard was appoluted fraternal mes? senger to the South Carolina District Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. The Sunda.? School Board of the Conference held tte anniversary meeting last night, Rev. \v. T. Capers, chairman. Prayer was offered bj Rev. fc. Leard. Mr. Leard read the report of his transactions as agent during th&past year. He reports that he has travelled over nine thousand miles, delivered about one hundred and thirty sermons and public addresses to parents ?nd children. Thousands o? children were addressed during thc year, and the tide of interest 1? the Sunday school cause is rising. Addresses to the large and enthusiastic audi? ence were then delivered bv S. Bobo, Esq.. of Sparenburg, Rev. J. T.- Wightman, ?nd Rev. J. Kelly, all being or course able and eloquent, and tte lost well seasoned with anecdote and inci? dent. TI;e meeting was full of iutercst, and a de? cided success. The collections amounted r? $45. Thia morning, immediately after thc minutes were read and approved. Rev. Messrs. Adams, Guthrie, Wy che, and F. H. Wood, or thc North ' Carolina Conf?rence, were inirodnced. Mr. Wycheia also agent of the American Bible Society for North Cand?na. On motion, Rev. H. M. Mood. T. S. Moorman, D. B. Barton, and N. F. Kirkland, were elected io .111 Tscaucies in the Sunday School Board. Rev. 8. Leard, as chairman of the Financial Board, slated, lu counection with other remarks npon thc same subject, that the monies reported for the superannuated preachers and widows of deceased preachers amounted to $4377 up to this 1 time, which was sufficient to pny claimants six tv sdx and two-third cents on the dollar-an im? provement of ten per cent, npon last year. Vor the support of, bishops $920 had been collected. The examination of thc character of ciders was taken np, when considerable discussion was elicited upon tits case of a brother, who had ap? peared to encourage the patronage ol circuses. The following resolutions werefpassed : Resolved, That wu hereby empress our sense or the evil or encouraging fairs and resti? r?is for gain, which arc now held by the members of our churches: to promote lie r*ounlary interest ol tuc cunnii; that these ? fair? and festivals, though intended to accom? plish a good purpose, encourage frivolity, dissi? pation, an often illegitimate means employed to Increase their gains', such as extortion, radies and the like. Resolved, That, as a body, we pledge ourselves to thc Inflexible discountenance ot th"sc exhibi? tions in our respective charges. Rev. J. A. Porter presented the report of the Committee on the Bible Cause. Thc report was adopted. Also, the following resolutions: Resolved, That eur contldence in the American Bible Society ls undiminished, and that we will, as in days past, give it onr cordial snport. Resolved, That we will welcome to onr respec? tive charges the worthy and indefatigable ogjnt of the society for South Carolina. Rev. t?. A. Bolles, and Rev. Ira T. Wyobe, agent for the State of North Carolina, and that we will co? operate with them in their Christian and Philan? thropic work. j Rev. E. A. Bolles stated that since the var thc society has distributed three hundred thousand copies of the Scriptures, worth $20,000, ti the Southern States. . Rev. Ira T. Wy che explained that the society acts through the agency of subordinate societies, of which there should be at least one in every county, and urged those preachers, assigned to labor in North Carolina to do what ?hey can for the cause. Thc names of the preachers of the Charleston District being called, J. R. Pickett was granted a supernumerary relation, on account of enfeebled health. E. J. "Pennington was continued super? numerary. Bamberg District being called, R. B. Tannant was continued supernumerary, aud J. J. Snow located. A. A. Gilbert presented the report of the Special Committee on Finance, which embraces a plun of operations for the year. After considerable dis? cussion and amendment, thc report and plan were adopted. Tne fifth item In the plan elicited two very able speeches upon thc relative advantage of aggrega? ting or dividing the various collections ordered by the Conference, one by Rev. J. R. Pickett, the other byS. Bobo, Esq. Mr. Bobo exhorted Hie preachers to do their duty In reference to all the interests, aad bring up an ample collection for each. In response, Rev. W. A. Clark pledged himself to bring up the full araonnt from the charge to which he may be assigned. Dr. A. E. Williams, in urging the pcrfomancc of duty, contended that one-tenth was the true measure of Christian liberality-not a tenth of net profits, but gross proceeds-thc donor, oct of whss remains, to meet expenses. "Ye are not your own; ye are bought w ith a price"-and if we belong to Christ, all wc have must be His also. Cod will repay thc donor. He had told a brr.ther to give a certain sum for the 6iipport of thc min? istry, and he (Dr. W.) would stand security for God that it should be repaid in twelve months. The proposition was accepted, and three days thereafter the brother had absolved him from thc obligation-God had paid back the whole amount. The Doctor proposed to collect the deficiency of every preacher's salary who will visit and pray with each family lb his charge once iu three months. His address and sermon from a layman to preachers, was warming to the hearts of both alike. Dr. C. D. Rowell contended that onr peopleneed Instruction upon the obligation to give. He thank? ed God that, notwithstanding heavy losses thc past year, he had been able to do more than on any previous year for the support of the Gospel, and had been amply rewarder). He thluks the stewards of thc church should not be continued in office unless they are faithful to their trust. Mr. C. S. Moorman thought the Methodist Church of South Carolina had reached the point he wish? ed to see her occupy. He believed the finances of the church should be left in the hands of the laity. He regretted that the ministry should still have so much to do with the collecting of money. The sixth section of the plan proposes to raise $26,000 during thc year- $8600 for superannuated preachers and the widows and orphans of deceas? ed preachers; for education, $8000; for missions, $8000, and for the support or the bishops $1600. The seventh section provides that the foregoing eu ms be divided by apportionment between the variouu districts by the financial board, and then subdivided between the circuits, stations and mis? sions, by the presiding elders and district stew? ards. An adjournment was then taken to 3o'clock P. M. DELEGATES TOjniEBGENERAL CONFERENCE. er The whole of the afternoon session, Bishop An? drew In the chair, was occupied lu balloting and counting the voles for delegates to the General Conference which meets In Memphis lu May next. The General Conference of the Methodist Church meets once in four years, and possesses legisla? tive powers. That of thc M. E. Church, South, ls composed of one lay and one clerical delegate for every twenty-eight members of each annual con? ference. According to this rvle, South Caro? lina ls entitled to six of euch class In thc next General Cou ft reu ce. The ; odo wing ls the dele? gation elected: Clerical Delegates-Revs. A. M. Shlpp, L.L.

Moore, Bcnnettsviiic; B. Stokes, Waltcrtairo; E. T. Rembert, Sumter; T. S. Moorman, Newberry; D. R. Barton, Cuongeburg, and R. F. Simpson, or Laurens. TUB MBB8IOKARY ANNIVERSARY. The meeting or thc Missionary Society lb the Methodist Church, Saturday night was an occa? sion of deep interest. Rev. W. T. Capers read thc report of thc ?ottrd of Managers. The theme of thc report is " Ch: 1st for the world, and the world for christ." It was on ably written document. The operations of thc society are confined to a few appointments In thc the bounds of ocr own Conference. Bishop Kavannugh delivered an address replete with thought. The great events now transpiring In the world are preparing the way for great achievements by the Gospel. The, worth of the soul demanda every effort to save lt, may express his theme. On the worth of the soul the Bishop waa Instructive and intensely interesting. His style of speaking is easy and without apparent effort. A. A. Gilbert, of Sumter, also delivered an ad? dress worthy of himself and thc occasion. Dr. Smith entertained the audience with a few pertinent remarks, and conducted the collection. The Sabbath. ' CUERAw, December 2?. The Sabbath witnessed collections from sur? rounding counties. The Bishop preached a ser? mon in the morning, with which everybody seem to have been delighted. It was, to say the least and perhaps the least said of any sermon is thc beat said-worthy of a bishop, and the "subject and object of preaching " was ably discussed. After the sernioc Bishop Andrew ordained the following to deacon's orders : S. P. H. Elwell, s. M. Davis, M. H. Hoyle. R? L. Duffle, G. W. Catlin, and McKenzie Mazingo. Bishop Andrew preached In the afternoon-or, rather, be gave the ministry a fatherly talk, which will, lt ls hoped, result in good. Bishop Kavnnaugb ordained the following ri? ders amid thc deepest solemnity : J. B. Platt. J. c. Crisp, J. B. Tray wick, M. EL Jay. N. Alexander, J. S. Huggins, T. Gibson, J. P. MoElbancy. J. ?. Ken? dall, R. & Ledbetter, and J. A. Covington. Dr. Smith preached the annual sermon to thc undergraduates of the ministry at Light. Of the sermon wc need not speak; we thought lt a good one upon the duty of preaching the Cross, but have understood that thc Bishop In thc morning discoursed from the same text which the Doctor had selected for lils own use at night, and that therefore there was another selection necessi? tated for the latter occasion. Rev. B. J. Meynardie preached In the Presbyte? rian Church In the morning. The Baptist Church was not occupied. Everybody seemed anxious to hear a bishop, and two being present, more than usual Interest was manliest. The Methodist Church, after the utmost packing, refused to hold the people who came to hear, and many went away disappointed. LATEST COMMERCIAL NEWS. Exports.
