It matters nat how wet and miserable thse weather mnay be when conference time is hastening on, as soon as that body assembles there is a total change. My hair is grawing grey in the service of the churcis, but 1 hav e yet ta attend thse conference at which we have nat been desirau.s of havîng every door and window oaened, and, if passible, aur very cuticle peeled off. Thse cynic migbt say that this distress- ing state af affairs la owiug ta thelever geaerated la conference debates. That hawever is not the case. Fire there may be in those fierce contests, lever there is nat. Moreover, it is observed that tee citizens of t he Conference tawn thera- selves share in the general discomfart nîthaugli tiey may nut atte~nd the Con- ference church. The truttis is aid Sol ai- ways lays himself out ta give thse con- ference a watm welcome. And if ho averdoes it, we must set it down ta his senile but layai enthusiasm,-wbich is bora in a warrner atmasphere than aur awn. Belleville is a beautiful city and is1 praud of its beauty. Thse Canference1 pragram, which bore initernai evidence af having camne fram the practised hand af thse Rev. C. W. Watch, cantaiued a concise history ai the place. Anciently kuown as Meyer's Creek, it received is preseat name la 1816, It was incarpar- ated a city la 1878. It is a pleasant spot,1 and the waters af "Old Quinte's Day," as the laocal poets put if, which lave thse tity's feet, affard a free and delightful playground for the people. Methadisma boasts seven churches with a seating capacîty af over three thousand ; while Albert Calle-e, which crowns thse heights, is a1 y educatianai centre where yaung Methadism is being la- structed, braadened and equipped far lii e's endeavaur. Thse ministerial session apened an tise iast af May. it has already been repart- ed ln the papers. But, in as inucis as tise otiser tisan he pobby xpc eNver possibly la tise Iistary aianyConferenice basî tise presidiag cofficer receivoed sncb a reproaf as hie did Hoe wiii neyer speak la that absurd manner in tise Day Con- fereace again. ani- L ,i s quite likely that bis fulminations la othier quarters will be brought ta a fliis. It is tîme they were. Tise 1ev. W. R. Young, B.A., af Port Hopýe, is tise new Presideat, and Rev.J. J.Eae , ai Bowmanville, Secretary. Thse Mavor- ai Belleville extended a very hearty welcame ta tise tawn la a speech tisat brisked with points. Ho urged tise miaisters, when tbey retired from tise active work, aill ta came and make tiseir homes in Belleville as it was mach nearer ta Paradise than aay other place on earth. Tise mayr-who is filliia his tisird tern i faffice-is evidently enam- oured af his city, and bis argument ta demanstrate it tise hub af tisa universe was short'and convincing, if you could but accopt his promises. Thie Rev. Ed: ward Roberts in repiying ta tise mayor's address created a great uproar ai af laugister when hie stated that in coin- irag ta Belleville tise canference had foi- iowed tise advice af tise great John Wesley who saici "Go not anly ta tisase wiso want you, but go ta tisase who need you Mast." Preachers well knowa on Bowman- ville District were well to tise fore in Suaday's services, for amang those who occupied Belleville pulpits we note Revs, T. W. Jollilfe, J.J. Bae, C. Parker, W, Coombe, R. McCullougis, J. C. Bel], W. A. Bunner' E. A. Tonkin, E. Roberts, W. H. Adams, and Mr. R. W. Clarke, Millbrook, delivered an address. If we may believe tise Belleville Sun, tise dis- courses were ail very good and deliver- od ta very large audiences. NaTES. 11ev. E. Rioberts moved and Mr. W. H. Reid, M. P.
