THE LAST OF THE CONFERENCE.
[By Telegraph.]
Nelson. Feb. 4. The remaining business at the Conference yesterday was as follows ;—lt was resolved that when a travelling preacher was so unacceptable or inefficient as to be no longer useful, the Conference might ask him to request a location, and on refusal that the Conference at the first meeting thereafter should without trial locate him without his consent. It was agreed that a book of discipline be provided by the general Conference, suitable for the people. Eesolutions on the desirability of Methodist Union, roles &c., were discussed and carried. Votes of thanks to the ministers of Nelson, circuit and the Eeception Committee for the great assiduity and kindness which they have displayed in the arrangements for the Conference and to the handsome young ladies who waited at the dinner-tables, and the friends who displayed such unbounded hospitality in entertaining the ministers were carried. It was decided to hold the next conference in 1882, in Christchurch. Many of the representatives left by steamer, which was detained till a late hour last night.
