sequent action of the Book Agent; which substitute
was, on motion of T. Johnson, laid on the table.

posed for Depositories, one by one, and act oil them
separately.
Mr. Rosser offered an amendment, which was laid

Va.j Charleston, S. C., Louisvti[e, Ken., New Orleans,
La., Memphis, Ten., St. Louis, Mo., Galveston, Texas,

vides for the appointment of editors of church papers at
Richmond, Va., Charleston, S. C., Nashville, Knoxville
and Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., New Orleans,
La., Galveston, Texas, and San Francisco, Cal,
After some discussion, the 10th item was laid on the
table, in order to first settle a principle involved in the
12th item; which item was then taken up, and Dr.
Drake moved to strike out al! the proviso of the item.
Mr. Walker offered an amendment to this, which

The 10th and ilth items, were read ana adopted.
The report was then adopted as a whole.
Dr. Winans offered a resolution calling for an after
noon session, and providing that the election for book
agents, editors, etc., be made the order of the day.
Ml” Keener offered a substitute, which was laid on
the table, and the resolution of Dr. W inans was adopt
ed.
On motion conference then proceeded to the consid
eration of report No. 3, of the committee on Books.—
That part of the report which had r.ot been previously
acted on was read.
The first item referring to loans to be granted to
pcfiaiu papers was taken up,
Mr. Langhonte y.as opposed to making any such
loans. lie did not believe the conference had juy
right to act thus.
Dr. Drake agreed in the main with Mr. Langhorne.
Dr. \V. A. Smith explained, and showed that such
a measure as was contemplated by the report, would
benefit the church as well as the papers. Such a course
had been pursued in other itiaiuuces heretofore with
great profit to the church. In reference to the saertd
ntiss of the Book fund, he thought he understood that
as well as others. There was no difficulty from that
quarter. Ho was sure of this——though he might be
unable to satisfy some others of the fact.
Mr. Rosser had constitutional difficulties in this case.
The conference could approptiate the produce of the
book concern only in one way ; while in this instance we
had no pj'odjjce jio divide, aud’ such loans could not be
made from the capital until the constitution was chang
ed,
Dr. Green had only to say that as we had no pro
ceeds, the best we could do with ouf capital was, to put
it to work, and he believed that it would be as profita
ble to the church iu this as any other way—-
loans of this kind had been made by the church, and
subsequently returned —while the use of it was made
profitable to the church, lie was iu favor of the re
report,
Dr. Win,"ns did not think there was any constitu
tional difficulty iu the way of the proposition. If we
believed such loans were right and accessary—we could
make them. The book concern had two objects— first,
an instrument of distributing religious knowledge, and
secondly, to afford, when possible, somethin.': to aid
superannuated preachers, cio Wherever the first de
sign was properly carried out, there would always be
proceeds, ami these should of course be applied as con -
templated in the discipline. But were it otherwise,
where there are no proceeds to be so considered, its
affairs should be so managed as to create profits to be
applied ac contemplated.
Mr, Whipple was from one of the younger confer
ences, and they had some interest in the matter. Their
papers had contributed much to an increase in the an
nual collections for the superannuated preachers, mis
sionary society, etc. Give them a little assistance and
they would cjo mere for the church and themselves.
Mr. Fierce, of Mis , would vote for the report pro
vided it were distinctly understood that these papers
thus aided should be teuderul to this conference at its
next session.
As the time for adjournment was near, Mr. Burton
obtained the floor and made some observtions.
Leave of absence was granted to Messrs, R efold
and McDaniel after to-day.
After which, on motion, conference adjourned.
Afternoon Session.
Conference met at 3 1-2 o’clock, Bishop Kavanacgli
in the chair; divine service by Dr. L. Pierce.
The journals of the morning session, were read and
approved.
Bishop Capers then took the chair.
Dr. Witmn? moved that conference proceed to the
order of the day, which was the election of Book
i Agents, editors, etc.
Dr. TV. A. Smith offered ns a substitute, that we
| resume the consideration of tho report no. 3, of the
committee on Rooks. This prevailed, and tho report
was taken up. The item immediately before the eoti
erenee, was that which proposed loans for the aid of
certain church papers.
Mr. Parks stated his objections to the policy of
loaning amounts to destitute papers. lie was in favour
of giving what might be deemed necessary. The main
object of the Book Concern, was to furnish the country
j with cheap religious literature ; dividends were seeon
i dary altogether.
Dr. TV. A. Smith agreed fully in this view of the
! main object of the hook fund. What might be deemed
j advisable, years hence, was matter for future action ; at
’ present it was our duty to use the fund in its appropri
ate way. He went for giving the papers specified the
aid they asked for.
Bishop Soule, without attempting to assign reasons
for his opinion, stated that the question was one of no
ordinary interest, whether involving a principle or pre
cedent. He had not understood that the decision of
the courts in regard to the property, had at all turned
on a consideration of the claims of superannuated
preachers, etc. He conceived that our application of
tlie funds was to be governed by the charter laid down
in the book of Discipline. With regard to the appro
priation of $31,000 of the book fund in a loan to certain
papers as a financial operation, so far as it is a business
transaction, we must look to tho probable profits. He
was glad to hear that theso papers were financially
sound and prosperous ; he could not see why they asked
for loans. He feared that there would not be much
profit.
It was then moved that the several papers be called
one by one, and action be taken in reference to them
separately. This motion prevailed, and the New Or
leans Advocate was culled. The report proposed to
loan this paper $6,000.
Mr. McDaniel moved to strike out six, and insert
$2,000.
Mr. Keener explained the condition of that paper,
its wants, etc., stating that up to tho present, it had
been published by contract. lie wished tho church to
provide an ofiice and fixtures, and make the paper its
own, increase the subscription price from $1,50, to $2,00
per annum, if deemed expedient. Their subscription
list was near 6,000, and he thought the prospeot fair
for an extensive circulation.
Mr, McDaniel withdrew his motion, and Dr, Drake
offered as a substitute, that the Book committee pro
cure the paper, and establish it under tlie control of the
General Conference, provided that not more than $6,000
be expended upon the operation'; adopted.
The Memphis Advocate was then called, to which
the committee proposed loaning $5,000.
Mr. Harris set forth the condition and prospects of
this paper.
Mr. Cobb also spoke in reference to it, set forth an
exhibit of its assets and liabilities, the amount of sub
scription, etc.
Mr. Harris then moved that the Memphis Christian
Advocate be adopted as a General Conference paper.
After remarks by sundry brethren, Mr. Ferguson
called for the pending question—the cull being sustain
ed, the question was put and the rusolution adopted.
St. Louis Advocate was called ; the committee re
ported in favor of lending it $5,000, which report was
adopted, and the loan granted.
The llolston Advocate was called ; to which the com
mitted proposed loaning $5,000.
Dr. Patton explained the condition of the paper ; the
report was adopted and the loan granted.
The Texas Christian Advocate whs next called ; the
sum of $5,000 was proposed to be loaned to this paper ;
the report was adopted and the loan granted.
The Christian Observer, a paper proposed to bo pub
lished at San Francisco,Cal. was called. Tito committee
tecommeuded a loan of $5,000 for this purpose.
Dr. Boring moved to amend the report by striking
out 5 and inserting SIO,OOO. This motion he sustain
ed by some remarks, setting forth the present condition
p.nd prospects of the church in that country.
Bishop Soule concurred in the remarks of Dr. Bor
ing, and stated that it must never bo given up, never !
A paper and Book Depository were needed there, and
ought te be granted.
Dr. Green thought we should be careful in matters
of this kind; we were about to appropriate more money
than we had, and might got ourselves in serious diffi
culties. lie thought the whole work of California in
terests had better be thrown on the Missionary Society.
Dr. Borings’ amendment, on motion of Mr. Cowles,
was laid on the tuqie.
The vote was taken and the report was adopted, and
SSOOO ordered to be loaned. On motion the report
was then adopted as a whole.
Dr Parsons moved that when conference adjourn, it
adjourn to meet at 8 o’clock this evening.
