Whenever a minister does;me so, I judge him a poor tool, fbr if he knew the ma^htta^6' bf bis calling,, he would know that no man' is fit for the pulpit till he has given himself afresh to God in pray apji meditation. This is timely, some numbers, end ministers too, wait for the Bishop l*# come, .and then tell him every petty objection to the, pastor, and complain, to him of all, and minister too, who may, by some transaction, gotten^into their debt, f Though they may never have seen him before, yet they think; he ought to have* gemma! reckoning with every body before he leaves, op simply hearing ene side of the sub ject Indeed, m man must have great experience in all things if not, misled in judgment, by such pestos' both to the church and Bishop. 7th. I am glad the too frequent mention of “our beloved Bishop” is going out of use, and that “our pre siding Bishop” is being employed in stead. I have heard men say , “our beloved Bishop" at times when they disliked every hair in the Biehoprs head, I ,hope the term <wU beo anni hilated soon, as it is not purely Metfc odistic anyway. Especially ought it to go out of use now, since the late General Conference of the A, M. E. Church and th^grea* M.

I cafe hot What reputation i a minister has for learning, he .will never beregarded fajMfc.fr gpeat, nanister unless hq exhibits - salvation of skills, — ed failures are ihore objects of corhtempt thnn pity.

Where a fiwt daar'church is at stake he $ liable to: removal at apy.moppept. We think like the Bishop, that a man who is a failnrq. every where he goca has left his occupation apd cqmp intjD the ministry for , a livelihood, and* that it is m<#e trppb^ fqr, ihf Confer ence to provide for, these blpnaers1 than it is to save souk.,,,, j,,pM j 1th, I ehall maJte it asule to fill with SssratsaSiiiiS appointed.
