so fur as Rome district is concerned.
On motion the verbal reports of
brethren, as to the state of the church
in their various fields of labor, was
called for. These reports occupied the
remaining time of the afternoon session.
Among many other important sug
gestions of the brethren, the following
are well worthy of record :
1. That our young brethren be called
uprn to take a pari in the public prayer
meetings, and other religious exercises.
2. That the family ai'ar shall be
erected iu every Methodist house, and
that private prayer and searching of the
scriptures be the daily habit of our
people.
3. That our Sunday schools shall re*
ceive the warm support of all our
members, and that our missions, both
tureign aad domestic, be near and dear
to their hearts.
4th. That tfr-y cultivate a fervent
spirit of earnest piety and eschewing
ail political entanglements and all
worldly compromi-es. they siiatl seek
(i< he a part ot that church which is
.vithoul spot or wrinkle or any such
thing.
In view of the destitute condition of
the Bartow and Stilesboro missions,
tfte brethren present contributed $28.-
70 to be divided between these charges
fur the purchase ot Sabbath school
books.
On motion the meeting adjourned
until next regular hour.
Saturday 8} o’clock, a m.
The meeting was opened by reading
ibe scriptures; singing snd prayer b)
Bishop Pierce.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and confirmed.
Reports ol committees read and
adopted as follows :
STATE OF THE CHURCH.
The Committee appointed to report
on the 'Slate of ihe Church,” would
submit the following:
While there may exist many defi
eiencies in our Membership, and failure
iii some instances to comply with the
requirements of the Discipline and the
Commandments ol God; yet , in re
viewing the work of the entire District
we find much to encourage the people
of God, and sufficient to stimulate the
ministers of Christ, to enter with re
newed zeal, the fields of their respect
ive labors.
Sir.ce our last meeting, the church
:.as been wonderfully successful in
■winning souls to Christ’ —hundreds
have been converted lo God, and. in
many churches, these recruits to the
cause of Christianity, have become
efficient co-laborers in doing and com -
munieating good.
There seems to be an increased zeal
on the part of the ministry, and a more
thorough devotion to their holy calling.
There are but few idlers among those
commissioned to preach the gospel
Itinerant, and Local preachers eeem to
be fully awake—fully aroused, and de
termined to incite full proof of their
ministry. They apparantly have
caught the meaning of that scriptual
injunction, ‘‘work while it is day, for
the night cometh when no man can
work.” They preach Christ and Him
crucified —they ignore in their minis
tr.tions all outside issues and preach
.t pure gospel, which is the power of
God,and the wisdom of God; and we
would urge upon our ministers to re
member in the future, as they have in
the pait, that they are not ambassadors
of a party —but ambassadors for Christ
sent forth to beseech sinners to be re
conciled unto God.
Another gratifying feature which wc
would present, is the increased love
and affection for tbe Church and its or
dinances exhibited by our membership;
the church is being strengthened in tbe
hearts of the people. Southern Meth
odism is not recognized by our brethren
as a cold formalism —a mere ritualism;
but as a living, active and sanctified
organization, designed to help them on
towards God. They feel that in her
bosom there is safety from ecclesiasti
cal error, and that their private and per
sonal labors, afflictions, and sorrows
are partly borne by a sympathising
brotherhood, —that a communion in
which they have witnessed the trium
phant departure of so many saints is
something to be loved, honored, and
worked for. %
Thus thev fee-1, and though a host
should encamp against her, yet they
will he confident in her final and com
plete success.
Our District embraces the most de
sirable and interesting portion of the
North Georgia Conference. The lands
are fertile, —the climate healthy,—corn
mercial facilities are numerous, and
thero is every indication that the pre
sent dense white population will be
greatly increased within the next few
years. To meet the spiritual wants of
this rapidly expanding country will
require extra and continuous efforts by
the Church. If we can only make
Methodism what it was designed to be,
“ Christianity in earnest,” —if we can
only, by prayer and holy living, secure
the full operation of all our Church
agencies, may we not hope our Eccle
siastical organization, will prove equal
to th<* responsibilities of the hour, and
be the honored instrument of spreading
scriptural holiness over all these beau
tful countries J
To do this work effectually, we must
be holy in life, blameless in conversa
tion strict and punctual in the discharge
of duty, familiar with prayer, sec.ret
prayer, family prayer. We must be
distinguished for our observance of the
rules of the church, attendance upon
the means of grace, the public services
of the sanctuary, prayer meetings, eL’.ps
meeting#, private and faintly devo
tion.
The employment of these means of
grace we consider absolutely essentia!
to the enjoyment of religion, to being
happy in the love of God. These are
the means which brighten and polish
the armour of God and no wise man
will fail to use so valuable and effecting
instrumentalities, for keeping himself
love and favor of God.
Wc regret so much deficiency in the
use of these means of grace, particular
ly private and family prayer. Let
those who have been negligent, comr
nienee now the good work, 'the work
which secures the approval of God.—
Let the closet witness our prayers lo
God, who speth in secret and who
will reward us openly.
Let us in secret gather strength for
conflict v.ith the enemy. It is neces
sary that we mingle with men. that we
be brought in contact with them who
are without; but the light and glare of
every-dav t'fe would soon exhaust our
Christian supplies unless they were re
plenished in secret.
Especially, let the fallen altars of
the family be repaired, and let new
ones be erected. It is a reflection that,
from information derived from reports
that probably not more than one half
of the members of our church are ac
customed to have family worship.—
Let us in future by example and pre
cept. by preaching and exhortation,
attempt a reform upon this important
subject.^
The troubles of the country seem in
some measure to have removed the
moral restraints which the Gospel
threw over the people, a laxity in the
observance of moral, social, and pe
cuniary obligations, was the marked
feature of our civil disturbances, and
we trust that the church ttow, will not
pass through even the shadow of this
public demoralization ; but with her
skirts untarnished, let her strictly ob
serve. in all her official acts, the re
quirements of the Discipline, regard
ing the payment of just debts, the
taking of such diversions as are incon
sistent with the word ot God, and par*
ticularly insist that our membership
refrain from the making and selling, or
use of intoxicating liquors. Let her
deal jnstlv, let her love mercy, let her
walk hnmblv with her God.
We would recommend, in regard to
the freedrr.en in this District., that we
continue to serve them as circumstan
ces and an expressed willingness on
their part may seemingly open i!m
w a y.
And finally, brethren, be steadfast.
immoveable, always abounding in ev
ery good vrork, knowing that our labor
is not in vain.

MEMORIAL OF THE LIFU AND CHARACTER
OF REV. JOHN W. GI.KNN, DECEASED.
With mingled feelings of sadness
and joy the members of this District
meeting receive intelligence of the
death of our venerable brother in
Christ,John W. G.enn—sadness for
our loss, jov at his gain. So long and
well known among us, so endeared by
intercourse and friendship with nearly
every single individual member of this
body, it ia difficult to repress our grief
at the thought that we ahail be per.
mitted to greet him no more in our
midst, but must lose forever his court
sel and his presence.
Familiar in his intercourse, pleasant
and instructive in his conversation,
warmlv and sincerely attached to the
church of his choice, with native fac
ulties of mind rarely possessed, and a
force and power of expression which
swayed the hearer at his will, with an
integrity which marked his whole life
as oue of the crowning points of his
character, with a zeal in the cause of
the great Master which always made
him an unwearied soldier of the cross,
deeply imbued with the snirit of all
truth, unpretending in his life, yet com
manding the respect and edmiration of
with a logic so true and convincing
that the judgment found no escape
from its commanding gra*p, with a
power of ridicule and caustic wit which
mercilessly excoriated and withered
his adversary, yet with a pathos so
soft and winning that the heart melted
under its woundrotis appeals ; all
combined with a wisdom and legal ac.
umen which made him the counsellor
of the Church, and, as he was not inap
propriately called, the Blackstone of
our denomination, he moved among us
a father and a frier.d—one of the
chosen men of Isra« 1. An humble’

the hands of his Master, and ranke<
easily among the ablest and pun st of
our denominational leaders.
Abundant in labors, his capacity f.>r
labor, was the only measure for the
extent and amount of his labor. In
our Annual and General Conferences,
both before and since the seperation
of the Northern anti Southern Church*
cs, a representative of our people,
our interest w? felt always to he sale
in his hands, and well guarded by his
vigilant and active intellect arid zeal.
, li> outward life grave in Iris manner,
and rather ascetic in his appearance,
in the social circle he was the very
spirit of gentleness and kindness, while,
around hit own fireside in the bosom
of his home. he was indeed and of a
truth, the indulgent master, the nffec*
; tiomte husband, the tender father and
companion of his children.
For some years he wrts a local
preacher, but joing the Conference,
the second year thereafter be was ap
pointed Presiding Elder of the Chero

Habersham, Hall, (iwirmette. I>’Kalh,

Alabama line and the Coosa river,

tanaula to the top of the blue ridge to
the starling point; embracing a territo
ry 1.000 miles each round, with the
privilege of being a* home but twice
<"•0 each riding. I<or hur years he
discharged the duties of this work, and
from that time to the day of his death,
the care of churches and the gb’rv of
his Master, expended the etiercies of
his herculean frame and powerful ir*.
teihet. At last disease invaded his
bodv and confined him to hts house
and bed, until on Thursday the 30th
of April. IH6B, A. D., in the 73d year
of his age, he surrendered his charge
•vitli his life, and left hia wife and
children amt friends and us iiis breth
ren to mourn our loss. But we mount
not as those who have no hope, for
while we drop warm tears over his
grave, and moat deeply feel onr hrreav
ment, yet we rejoice in the fn’.l assu
rance that from the harvest field below,
he has gone to that rest which remain*
eth for the people ul God. To us
hath he left an example of laith and
patience, of labor and of love ; let us
emulate him in all his heroic Christian
life, and so c hali we meet him in t hr
Church triumphant above.
Resolved. That this District Meeting
now in session, learn with feeling* of,
deep sorrow thnt our venerable brntl>

departure, we give thanks to God fur
the assurance that our loss is his pain;
that he rests from his lab'»r, and that
his works do follow him.
Resolved. That we affectionately
sympathize with the family of our de*
ceased brother, and commend them to
God and the word of his grace.

REPORT ON SABBATH SCHOOLS.
We. the committse appointed on thp
subject of Sabbath schools, submit the
following report :
From the information obtained from
all parts of tfie district, your committee
are ot the opinion that there is a gen*
era! interest awakened upon the great
subject of Sabbath schools, and that to
encourage, increase, and develop this
interest, there is tio class of "persons so
we!! qualified fc"m their positions, as
the Itinerant ministers, and would urge
that they arouse themselves to the van
responsibility devolving upon them, in
this direction.
We suggest that this interest may he
prompted bv visiting the schools as
often as possible, superintending their
general interest, and preaching at every
appointment upon the subject.
There should be great cate taken in the
selection o f efficient sn-perintendants—
they should be punctual, industrious,
apt to teach, of deep nit ty, liberal and
of good report.
'The teachers, so for as practicable,
should be members of the church.
We would call especial attention to
the care of the poor children ; visit,
and when necessary, clothe them ;
teach the children, who are in better
worldly circumstances, t » do the same
—to go out and hunt them ur>. bring
them in, and thereby impress and culti
vate in the hearts of these precious lit Ic
ones, the true missionary spirit,
As tie children are the hope of the
church and country, in lhe-c tttp.es •»:

As to the financial department of Mm
Sabbath Schools. think b« at ’o

collections.
We think that in the purchase id
book*, the' preference should Hi nil
cases be given to our own publishing
l ouse, and tbst our preachers should
inform their congregations of the cost
of our Sunday School hooks, and that
where they can do no better, that tb'-*

We suggest that at earh district

be notified of tho time and requested
to attend.
