The Wairarapa Daily. MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1832.

The final draft of ttations at the Wesleyan Conference assigns the l!ev. L. Isitt to Mnsterton, the Rev 11. DiaVBi.URV to Givytown. the Krv W. G. Thomas to Port Chaliuei'R, and the Rev J. Dukes to Hamilton. The Muster-ton friends who rather grudged the removal of the last named gentleman to Greyiown, wi.l be somewhat disappointed at his bei ig dent away to the Wrtik.-.to. 'I here is an unmistakeable promise of Mr I'ukes becoming a tivßt class Wesleyan Minister, and if Masterton is to see him ngain, his o'd congregation mu-t endeavor to make thisneighbor!) >odatii'4class Wesleyan i ircu t, Our WVleya'i friends here have recent'y been congratulated on getting out of di'it. ''"here is one obli-

gation, however, they cannot fully d sehfirge, and that U their indebtedness to ih' Ilev John Dikes or wise counsel, broheiiy help,.mid devoted jmstornl service-i. We have not, had as many opportunities of observing the work of the Rev Mr TiiOM -s as we have of that of his colleague in this distiiot, but he has, we are aware, secured the nfftwtioii and es f eem of his flock, and been earnest and active in his work. The Kev W. (}. Thomas and the Rev John Dukes will cany aw-iy to their ne v spheres of labor the good wishes of all denominations in this district. The Wairarapa has either been specially fortunate in th" Ministers from time to time appointed to take charge of its circuits or else the Conference must be well manned will capable and industrious clergymen, If results are to be puaged according to means the Weslevaus apparently accomplish more than other denominations, The system under which their Churches, their Sunday Schools, their preachers, and their finances are regulated is evidently, whatever it may le in theory, very perfect in pra-tice Litterly, in England, an effort has I een made by earnest members <f the F.stablislied Church to f Hind ''an order of coipo ate reunion," the o'rj-ct being to go back a thousand years for oM forms and old liturgies. If the O.'l i.'s as tbey call tl ehiselves weie, instead of going buck, to lake a step forward by adnptiii" themselves to tli ■ w.-mts of the present age as the W'esleynns do they miglv find a tpiieker nad to tin goal for which they are striving.
