This action was had by a vote well nigh unanimous, the general desire seeming to be to give the accused party full and ample scope for defence. And the Conference adjourned until to-morrow at 9 o'clock. During the morning session, Rev. P. W. Archer, told of a preacher upon his district who was sent to a very poor appointment, who, upon reaching it, could find no place to board his family; but who determined to do his work, hired a house, and not having means to buy furniture, made for himself a bedstead and some other articles, then made a bed or broom straw, not having feathers or money to purchase, and thus preparing for his family as best he might, addressed himself to his work, and succeeded so well as to build up the Church,
