The ecclesiastical gave way. and Hie legal con? ference wnsashon itmc lu session, Dr. smith in Hie chair. The business transacted WOS lu rela? tion lo Honners or thc church, of no general in? terest for want of funds. After thc Bishop resumed Ibo chair the consi? deration of thc report of Special Commit tee on Pinnum was made Ino special order for lo-mor row at 12 o'clock. Al 12 o cnn K nr. Branch was heard In behalf of the Interest of the Circle of Prayer. He stated timi, tia had no speech lo make. Methodist preachers need not bc lectured upon ihcnV" \[?". \Z Z*.lv.: *????*MM were peculiarly ?pr?jTni people. The circles or prayer nre composed or men of different denominations. They originated In tho Hine Village or Ninety-six. In Abbeville they meet every Tuesday. Ai each meei tug a chairman i nd subject ol discussion ure selected for thc next. Kvcry member ls required lo pray wheo called upon, and to cxprevs lils opinion upon the subject of discussion; also lo give an ac? count of bis experience during thc past week. They do not know each other as members of tlir fcrent denominations, but ns children of God, who meets with sud blesses them. They nre like old fashioned Methodist love-feasts. As one result, there arc three to live limes as ninny ramify allais In Abbeville as before their commencement. The practice trains every one to pray. One question discussed wns "What constitutes the best means for promoting a religious revival}" This led to a resolution to have preaching every night mid prayer every morning, alternating in thc dur?r? ent churches. Many conversions was the result. Many other similar organizations sprang np. There arc now fourteen In Abbeville, as many n.orc In Anderson, some In Laurens, Edgefield, Ac. They hold n convention once lu three months. Prom one recently held, al thc suggestion of Me? thodist clergymen, they had been delegated to this body. Cod has blessed them, and he fell it Would be wrong to let these organization-; go down. Dr. PrcRsley won most solemnly Impressed by the appearance of the body of able and Intelligent ministers before bim. He could not preach,"but he could given tract nud tnlk In private; bad done sn, and Cod bud bussed his labors. There ls no luxury equal lu thal or doing good-lt ls an exquisite pleasure. If be thought there was one drop of sectarian blood in his veins, bc would open an artery mid let lt ont. When ho went to Ninety-six, Hie brethren of the circle look him lo their arms, and talked ubout thc bent way to gel to Heaven. Love or thc brethren ls next IO tho love of God; lt ls thc bond or union which binds thc Christian world In one common brotherhood. Love is the mainspring; but there is no pleasure without iloliig good. Good works ls Hie incl? inometer by which to determine the warmth of thc henri's infections. We want annual convoca. Hons of prayer. Dally prayer ls thu life of tho church. Rev. 8. beard presented thc following: Ucaolvetl, Thal thia Conference has beard with great pleasure the com mun uni ions made b\ Hrs. J. Branch ami O. W. Prcssicy, delegates from tho Convention of Circles of Prayer lu Abbeville Dis trirt, ami that we do heartily respond to'the Christian sentiments expressed by Hiern; mid thal wu extend our cordial sympathies lo them mid thc cause they represent; uml that we ?lo ie-' commend the establishment or those circles bv our preachers wherever practicable. Mr. Leard alluded in reeling sentiments In the Impression made upon lila own heart by the pres? ence of the gent h im ii who represent Hie Conven? tion of Circles or Prayer. He bad, from boyhood, known Hie last speaker. His own parents slept lu lue graveyard of the church where he held membership, lu Ida carly cloys Methodism was not well known or beloved in that vicinity. Kow his oid friend came here with sentiment!* of lbs Warmest regard for us. lie rejoiced at thc change winch had taken place. Ri v. J. R. Pickett seconded thc losnhition in a speech of most hearty welcome to thc delegates ol Hu- Circles of Player. He was rejoiced that in i a hundred years such u change had been wrought that at lust thc people of God had conic to seek tor unity ililli harmony -thal thc spiritual children of John Knox and John Calvin and John Wesley could embrace euch oilier in the fraternity of u common Christian brotherhood. Rev. II. A. 0. Wiilkor remembered lo have gone as agent of the American Bible Society many years ago, by appoint mein to the Church (Long Cane.) where one of the delegates worshipped. On his way a gout! brother asked him If bc was going to preach al that seceder church. Ho bad replied that he went with thc open Bible In his hand. AHer pt caching. Rc had been cordially invited lo return again. "Wc aro drawn .together by thc Bible.? Rev. J. T. Wightman stated that for three years such meetings for prayer had been held m the City of Charleston, und Hint ministers or seven dilTurent denominations hud united and partici? pated In' them. Mr. T. S. Moorman stated that Ibo Circle of Prayer originated at Nlneiy-Slx in 1805, by tbreo men, who sought religious Improvement,and meet? ing for thai purpose In the alcove In rear of the pulpit lu Hie Presbyterian Church. They after? wards Invited friends to*Join them. InJulvlnst there were from three to four hundred praying men connected willi thc organization. Corty or fifty delegates were in attendance upon ihe re? cent convention In Anderson. Thc circles nre composed or only ono male member. They In? crease thc harmony of tho churches. 1 hey learn menlo pray. A man that had stammered, now reads and sings nnd prays, lt makes young mon (lo anil talk, und trains them for usefulness in a higher sphere. Ile hopes yet to wliness n great Convention of Circles of Prayer In Columbia. For furl lier Information any one may address Major joim Leland, of Laurens, secretary or thc convention. Mr. E. H. H?lst, pastor of thc Presbyterian Church In Cheraw, thanked God that he lind lived lo sec this day and this body. He alluded In touching sentiments to thc results of united ciro rt s by the dlirercul pastors mid their member? ship In this pince during thc ?inst summer. Many had been added to their mininer. His re? marks were most appropriate, and made n deep impression upon thc cnlire audience. He dbl not fear, but delighted in American lu-suciuiions. lilshop Kavanatigh thought thc scenes of this day tiny o i i'd goad for thc church of God in South Carolina thc ensuing year. He hoped lo hear of a glorious revival throughout thu State. He thought thc old fenecs which divided the denomi? nations: had taken fire and would be burned up. li ls scarcely ncoessary lo suv that thc resolu? tion or Mr. Leard were passed by n unanimous rising vote.

Wyebo explained I hat the society acts through the ageucv of miliordinntc societies, ot which lhere Mundil bo st least ono In every county, and urged those preachers, usslgned to labor in North Carolina to do what they can for the cause. Tue names or Ihe preachers or the Charleston District in mg culled, J. lt. Pickett was granted a supernumerary relation, on nccounl of enfeebled lnalili.

A. dilbert presented thc report of thc Special Commit iee on Kimmen, which embraces a plan of operations for the year. After considerable dis? cussion ami amendment, the report und plan were adopted. Tue nnii Her In the plan elicited two very able speeches upon thc relative advantage of aggrega? ting or dividing the various collections ordered by thc Conference, one by Kev. J. It. Pickett, Hie oilier bys. Hobo, Ksn,. Mr. Hobo exhorted thc preachers lo do their duty lu reference to all the Interests, and bring up au ample collection for each. In response. Kev. W. A. Clnrk pledged himself lo hiing up Hie full amount from the charge to which bc may be assigne !. Dr. A. K. Williams, In urging thc pcrfomancc of duly, contended that one-tenth was the true measure of '. uil-ti/ii, liberality-not a tenth or net profila, but Ktt>Ui pr?c<-en*>--*hc donor, out ol what remains, to meet expenses.

Ho bad told a brother to give a ceri aili sum iW IJl.V. support of \th iniu Istry, and he lUr.w.)Would maud security tor Cod thal H should he repaid lu twelve months. The proposition was accepted, mid three days (hereafter the brother had absolved bim from thu ubligailou-Cod had paid back the whole amount. The lluelor proposed lo collect Hie dcllcicucy of every preacher's salary who will visit and pray with each family lu lils charge once in three mimi hs. His address and sermon from a layman to preachers, was warming to the hearts ul bulli alike. Dr. C. D. Howell contended that our people need Inst mel lon upon thc obligation to give, ile 1 hank? ed Cod Hint, uni withstanding heavy losses tile past year, he had been able to ila more than on any previous year for thc support of the Cospel, and had been amply rewarded. Ile thinks the stewards or thc church should not bc continued lu oillce unless they are tad hf ni to their trust. Mr. C. S. Moorman thought thc Methodist Church of South Carolina had reached inc point bc wish? ed to see her occupy. He believed thc llnauce-s of thc church should be left lu the bands of the laity. He regretted Hint thc ministry should Rtlll tun c so much lo do willi tho collecting of money. Thc sixth section of the plan proposes lo raise f2G,ooo dining Hie year-$8Mio for superannuated P rouchel.-; and thu widows and orphans of deceas? ed preachers; for education, ssooo; for missions, $S<!00, and for thc Rapport of Hie bishops $ l.'.rsi. The seventh section provides that the foregoing sums bu divided by apportionment between Hie various districts by the llnnuclal board, and then subdivided between the circuits, stallons and mis sinus, by thc presiding elders and district stew? ards.
