Adams presented a report from the Committee on the relations of the colored people. The Bishop spoke on the subject of the re lations of the colored people with the M. E. Church, South. He thought that some of the colored churches, which bad withdrawn from their relations with the Georgia Conference, hail already-l>eeome convinced that they had acted hastily, and he thought when they had come to cool reflection the most, if not nil, the colored members would be willing to come back to their former allegiance to the church, South. The report embraces tlie following resolu tions. which vVerMulopted: 1. RtnoJteiJ, That wc will continue to do all in our power to give the gospel to the colored people in our hounds, recognizing in them, now that they are free, the same immortal be ings for whom Christ died that they were when slaves. 2.

The same report also embodies the follow ing resolutions, which were adopcil: Whereas, Applications have been made by several colored charges, for the transfer of 'titlesto’chnrcli edifices and church lots, and lor permission to withdraw, from the 31.

Until that time, dignity and self respect iiiq^se rilcnce upon u*. Turo |»a|*crs have bicn referred to this Com mittee which call for some remarks. One of these states the fact, that ;he distillation of spi rituous Ji/juorj i.? a growing evil among; our ‘ rs some Conference ific form of wrong of the times. His Rev. J. E. Evacslntroilncetl the-folloarirer. failure of their hopes, fie lias put their spir it of submission to His will to an extreme trial, anil they are tounil unsubmissive; ami tiras bright lights have been extinguished, promising sons hay* liccome prodigals. Even where they ha>^! not-so completely made shiprcck of faith.’ some, perhaps very many, are indulging in feelings and tempers that" have dulled their spiritual sense—db- stmeted tlieir access to God—weakened the grasp of their faith, (st'l obscured thrir visions ofheaven. yhey limp dwelt too readily up* on tlie reasons that might be thought to just- iiy thcfostcring of Il’atred, and have sedtious- ly" studied liow thcyqiflght say, “Father, for give my sins,” witifont adding, “as I forgive others. - ’ The ohjciHsof their unkind feelings have been beyond their reach; but the temper indulged—too often finding vent in un gracious language—has been as a well-spring of bitter waters in tlieir own hearts, pouring out its bfttcrries3 and deluging all the tender plants of grace. The outlircathings of even a just antipathy, which is indulged and foster ed; in forming itself into biting words, do not pass over from tlie soul from which they ema nate to the offensive object, but rather, they snrroun led that soul w ith poisonous atmos phere, in wlucli all pure and proper love to God and man i's’qu&clied. 3Ye cannot hate hum and love God. “Love your enemies,” is a divine precept! and When we find it hard to love, the next licst tlihig we can do—prepar ing tile way jierhajfs, to love eventually—is toforget—to forget so fully that we have no language in which even to mention the object of our antipathy. But too frequently these unhallowed tempers have been indulged against the help less—if not the innocent" Tlie negro has been freed—but by no act of his own. Freedom took liim'hy surpriso, and it is no wonder if, guided by evil counsellors or drifting at the mercy of circumstances, without a sound dis cretion or the experience .begotten by previ ous responsibility for his own conduct, he should have acted unwisely and ungracious ly, anil suddenly broken tics that the kind offices of a lifetime anil a sense of moral obli gation ought to Ir.ive made {Irrefragable. He mav have acted Wiilly— 1 6c might have done much worse. But tile' responsibility lies cliirflv beyond liiinself: and it is not the part of wisdom to cast-him oil'in the hour of his weakness; much less is it that ot Climtian charitv to visit upon the helpless and igno rant, the misguided acts of others.. Prejudice against him—a refusal to him ot Christian privileges—a denial of the right or opportu nity to labor, to learn, to receive Christian culture, to enjoy life as best he may without damage to society, eau never find sanction in the heart of him "who believes that “of one blood God hath made all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth.” The duties of the church toward otir col ored population will be reported on by a special. coB>mitteq*rimt ..we. eatuibt' forbear just here to wafnpur brcjliren agaipst the in- diilgenct ojf su&li -feeUhS jds ffliem for any Slip postal ""uijuiuiee or real grievance, as will lead to a neglect of tlieir spiritual wel fare. Such a course would signalize ours as a Christianity so low, that it gave the gospel to the negro because he was onr slave, yet ofilflfdtay^t to him a freedman, though „e no desieiafe a soul to Sfve. This Trtmld leave our church under the imputation that self interest rather than Christian principle lay at the foundation of all those efforts tor tlie negro’s religious instruction, for which the world lias coupnended us, and on ti jticli ometimes plumed ourselriffjf.

It is a lamentable fact, that too few of our laity, too few, even, of the office bearers in the church, take a deep and living interest in the work of the church. , With a very large number, the Sunday morn ing service, when convenient, begins and ends the period of their devotion to her prosperity They listen to a sermon, if it so far interests them as to gain their attention; but the Sunday school, the night service, tho class, the prayer meeting, the love feast, the quarterly conference, have no charm for them. Even the essential financial work of the charge—work the preacher cannot for delicacy be required to do—is fre quently devolved upon two or thr9c zealous souls to a membership of hundreds. Tho preacher, generally, has to bear the burden of the work, under all the discouragement of find ing few laymen to help .lift a finder’s weight, Could our vSicc he heard, ire wonltT rouse the laity from tikis apathetic indifference to the interest of Zion. But the remedy is not to be fonud in the cqll to duty by this Confer- cnce*;Werc it trumpet tongued, its voice ceuld not reach the distant sleeper?. The day is gone when men yield passively to mere external in fluences. What does not incorporate them into itself cannot, morel hem-toticfcion. Tho genius of our institutions has been to make inen a part of everything they take interest in. It is no longer in the power of the preacher to stand at a dis tance, and by argument or persuasion, by decla mation pij threatening, to turn the current of the world’s activities.' This v is the age of clubs— of leagues—of combinations, of associations, in which men act and react directly upon each other; and he who takes his station afar off, and only ttjunders at the moving, working masses, from tho pulpit, will directly find that he is but a guide post marking the road .where the-world lia3 passed, and that his congrega tion has sped onward, leavihg hJfiTirith the halt and tho lame, the idle and unenterprizing, to wonder that his voice echoes back witli so nol- low a sound from empty walls, and to ,fecl when Ids life’s work is dona* ibab he lias, wasted liis powers in exhortations that nave fallen fruit less to the ground, because the age has left him fur behind. No; if the Church is to be stirred again to activity, it must be done by ii new inspiration of zeal, emanating from the preacher himself! He must put forth all his energy-- seek new fields from new combinations with his co-laborers—desire new and constantly expanding plans of usefulness, bear ing such good fruit that he will perforce rally around him an appreciative laity. He most be a leader in every Christian enterprise, not afraid to work—net afraid of undertaking too much work— not sparing himself while anything remains un done; but, instant in season, out of season, he must gather his forces about him saving, “come let us do this or that in the name of the Lord.” Patience—perscvereuce—example, in this line of conduct, wlil eoonei or later ensure success. His activity will become contagious—the spark in his bosom will spread with a flume of zeal and love in the Church, aud, round such a leader, the laity will rally, while he who only points the way of dntics in which Le takes no part, or indicates methods of usefulness, in Which he is never a co-labdrer, will spend his breath in vain. Tlie Committee know well, that there is an in auspicious time to connsel the ministiy to add to the burden of their work - for tlie Church. Many of them have been impoverished. They are sent to an impoverished people. The scant support the latter uan furnish them, must, in many places, be eked out by more or less of secular labor. Such labor is honorable in a minister. Paul, the tent maker, was no less jfta apostle for supporting him self with his own hands. All vVork to which the Father pnts his children is religions work. But He alone, and wc ourselves must fix the time and measure and cliaraeter of the secular employments of .Ihpsolyi has called to the ministry. There is threat danger h<4e, lest wc take our cause into our own hands and so entangle ourselves with busi ness, that our ministerial duties may come to hold a secondary place, if not in our esteem, yet in our occupations. Brethren, to say that this onght not so to be, should be enough tg. carry conyiction j oi Ibis truth to every ihmd. \ o« will allow i£ true; but yet the danger remains,and must be guarded against. For how hard is it in a world which needs that Gospel laborers should be multiplied a- sand fold, to determine when one of them mi . justified in turning from ministerial to secular la the necessities of a dependent family, have driven him to the world’s work, how difficult to resist its temptations—to tear away from it, to turn to those higher duties of the ministry, that often seem to bring so. much scantier a reward. But to those whose duties, in the providence of God, are tliU3 di- Him, it will be found, that they] have never neg- lccU-i-rijL’ir^utyto |hfir*Il£>ck^ to plo^rtft plant, to sow or to reap, to but or to sell, to make or ta save, and that they have not soiled their Christian character or bartered their ministerial usefulness Miltrypelfl If anv of us have done so in the and, rebsptised by the Spirit ot all grace, to begin onr tires anew, and with a higher and holier aim ii--.ii ever heretofore, to onr hot; calling. swer, whatever her ministry ra&y, under the blessing of God, chojeo tf make Hgby purcn^s, bvzeal, bv fidelity to uod and to duty.

It »3 not to be reached by sj»ceial reprobation,.or by further legislation, ’it is the outgrowth of that worldly spirit that manifests itself in a thousand forms among professors of religion, an l results from a far too prevalent deadness of conscience, declension in piety, anil indifference to Christian obligations. The’reme- dy is discipline—bringing the church back to its former purity. It is indeed wondeiful that any man. who can stoop so low a3 to make gain by opening the floodgates of drunkenness upon a community, can desire to remain for an hour a member of the Church of Chist. He could not, he would not do it, were that Church that body of holy men, that assembly of saints, which a better Christian discipline would make it. Let the Church herscli rise to her high jiosition, and she will soou leave behind or beneath her all those wordlings, whose lives and character aud conduct arc a discredit to their profession, a foul blot upon Chistiauitv, and whose work is to sow au evil seed, continuing to bring forth fruit of evil long after they have been summoned to the bar of that God whose glory they have sacrificed to gain. Another paper referred to the Committee is Dr A L F Green's Memorial offered to the Ten nessee Conference, advising several changes in the polity of our church. The Committe believe —and recommend to the Conference to adopt aud assert the belief,—that while it may be granted that the course of events in these days of upheaval of old institutions and of unparallel ed change, may render some modifications in our economy necessary aud proper; yet, at the pres ent juncture, this body is not prepared to decide S icstions that ailect our entire church not less tan ourselves, and the people under our care: and we would, therefore, advise that all questions of change be referred to the wisdom of the Gen eral Conference, with this suggestion, modest but formally tendered to that body by this Con ference, viz;—that great care and deliberations should be exercised in making any radical changes in the economy of Methodism—lest Christ be woundpdJn the house of his friends. In contlustoii i-tVe have been called to survey a wide field, aud from every point of departure, and on every line of observation we find proof—cou- stautly accumulating proof, fixing at least oue con viction firmly in our minds. This conviction is that to insure tho prosperity and progress of Metli- dism, nothing is left us but work—icork—wouk. There is abundant work for all to do—ror white and black, for old and young, for men and women, for laity and ministry, for all our private members and for all our ofiicc-hearers from class leaders to bishops—work enough to keep our heads, our hands, our hearts all under full pressure, unless wc would sec the Cliureh decay under our care, and the world rush to rulu out of our very grasp. On our part, it must be Avork in the pulpit and out of it, in the closet and on the street, • in the sanctuary and by the fireside, on the Sabbath and in the Avcek—Avork sanctified by prayer, and prayer an swering itself by nioreAA'ork. The Church—the ministry.rmust rouse themselves for a new and flbrcc conflict with the poAvcrs of darkness—must use every appliance and every energy to make all the healthy activities and excitements of this stir ring age miuistcr to the saKation of souls and to the glory of God, that they may become asr of life unto life, aud not ot death, unto death. / The Committee recommend the adoption ,4>f the following resolution: lhsohcil, That tlie 1st Friday in Apiil be set ajiart by tlie Georgia Conference as a day of humiliation, fisting and prayer, to make confession of sin, to implore pardon, to inter cede for the restoration of prosperity of our country, to invoke the spirit of grace and wisdom upon the deliberations of our Gener al Conference, to entreat tho blessing of God upon the church, and the anointing of the Holy Ghost upon tlie ministry, and further, that tlie preachers do, in tlieir several charges, make arrangements in nmple time, with the aid of the class-leaders, exliortcrs ar d local preachers, to hold if possible one or more re ligious services on that day, with every con gregation in the Conference; and that they convey to the ^hurdles the affectionate greet ings of this body, with a respectful request, that every member of our communion attend upon such service, and otherwise solemnly-and sacredly observe a general fast. The report was adopted. It was moved anil carried that the preach ers be recommended to read tlie report to their churches. Rev. R. S. Key presented the report from the Board of Steward The report shows that the claims were $13.- 481; Collections, $4,473 98; Settled with claimants at 32.$ ■jtCT cent. 1 The report was adopted. The Conference agreed to meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon. f f Rev. C. K. Jewett announced ns the result of the fifth ballot, tho election of J. B. Smith and J. W. ninton, as the remaining reserves for the General Conference. Rev. J. W. Hinton offered tlie following, which lies on the table for action: lloe/reJ, That tho preachers in charge of cliurijjts and status be, end are hereby di- Tvetqir to taka up®.Ucctiuiis in all Uidr : fa tii.ns, ihiring thy^nnnth of February next, to friray 111* expenses of delegates to the Gcuer..( Conference, and to convey the same to the nearest delegates, to lie by them dis tributed among their delegates, and Birhop; and that if there be any surplus, it tie paid over to the poorer Conferences, to tushie, them to pay their delegates. Rev. J. lY.'Hinloii read his resolutions aud addressed the Conference «>n them. Tbc rrs- olutions were adopted. , l)r. A. T. 3tann read the report of the Board of Education. Tlie report was adopted! It shows that the College has $14,330 in stock" aud bonds, considered good, and $7,500 in notes consid ered good. In all an endowment of $31,850: Rev. J. E. Evans called up his resolutions, in reference to the division of the Georgia Conference. The resolutions were amended and adopted. Rev. 3Ir. Arbogast withdrew his resolu tions, to have the decisions of the Bishops published. v C. Flcwelcn, and — AY. AYiliiams, were elected Conference Stewards. Tlie place of — Oliver was vaeated as man ager of 3Iission Board, and —- ilollnigshead was elected in his place. The character of J. B. A\ r ardlftw was passed, and he was continued as Supernumerary. The meeting of the next Annual Conference was appointed to take place at Americas. A. J. Denver was put on the list of super numerary preachers. Rev. J. A. Caldwell read a paper with drawing from the Conference. Conference, adjourned. APPOINTMENTS AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCES.

Church, South, of last year, a convention was called to devise a systematic plan for the edu cation of tlie orplinn3 of deceased and chil dren of disabled soldiers, in the bounds of our Conference, and whereas, such a conven tion did meet in the city of 3Iacon, in July, 1864, and proceeded to organize an Associa tion .called the Soldiers’ Orphan- Association of the Georgia Conference, and said conven tion did elect a Board of Managers for said Association, but whereas, Aherc has been no report of its operations to this Conference, and whereas, it may be important, in order to ac complish the end of foid Association, to call anotnerand fuller convention at an early day, therefore, Resolied, by the Georgia Conference, That the Hon. B. C. "Yancey, President of the Board of 3Ianagers, be "requested to call an early meeting oftlic Board of Managers, to determine what further measures may he necessary to provide for the educational wants of the indigent children of our worthy de ceased and disabled soldiers. Jlesotetd, That the Hon. B. C. Yancey be requested to call a convention, for the purpose above mentioned, should the Board of Mana gers deem it necessary to promote its object. Tho rcsolutiqm£were laid on the table for the present. Rev.jiJ. M. Bounell submitted a resolution condemning the course > of Rev. J. H. Cald well, and that be be left the ensuing year without an appointment. Smith offered ala-substitute The following: JleaoheJ, That we, as members of the Geor gia Annual Conferriice, feeling, an abiding interest in tbe welfare and prosperity of the 31. E. Church, South, and whereas fears are entertained that the passage of the character of .J. H. Caldwell without note or comment (against whom nocharge was presented), may be construed into an endorsement of his sen timents as expressed in parts of his sermons delivered in Ncwnan, Ga., and other places, also of approving of his course in applying to the military authorities, contrary, to the Diciplinc of the Church, therefore, Reeoltefc Tta^ wo strongly reprobate the one, unci strongly disapprove the other. h ” 1 Re£ ’J. 9 #*Cwji^ctil ‘ said that ifeview of the feeling tliafnad been created by the act, fie very much regretted that he had maifle the application he did to the military author ities. * t t /1 • i . : — • $1593 were reported as collected for the Biahqp, and $50 in Confederate Treasury “ vour Athens Disthict-AV R Braniiam, P.
