Dr. Lee denied with much spirit that he had declared that the members of the Church were stingy. He was, himself, the best witness of their liberality, but he did believe that many men, even within the sound of his voice, loved money more than they ought. The report and resolutions were adopted. Rev. Mr. McCauley and Rev. Mr. Lemon, of the Baltimore Conference, were introduced. The Conference then took up the order of the day, the report of the committee on the exhibit of the Richmond Christian Advocate. The committee, through Rev. Dr. Cowles, reported that, after careful consideration, they found that the Advocate is barely self-sustaining, if indeed it be not conducted at a loss. They recommend that each preacher make annual reports to the Conference of the subscription lists withi

They also recommend that the expenditures be confined within the most economical limits; that the Clerk's salary be but $500; the free list abolished, and papers furnished to preachers at $1.25 per annum, with an allowance of 25 cents on each subscriber obtained. They declare that it would have been impossible to have given satisfaction to the public, in the embarrassed condition of the office.--The committee speak highly of the abilities of the editor, and concur in the plan of lay co-operation recommended by the publishing committee of the Advocate. Rev. Dr. Rosser made a speech, giving an account of his conduct of the paper since 1858, and at the afternoon session of the Conference resigned his editorship. A resolution, placing the paper in the hands of a committee of laymen and ministers, was adopted. Adjourned.

These resolutions provide that, hereafter, in assessing the Conference collection and salary of the Presiding Elder among the various circuits and stations, a just and equitable basis shall be adopted, having reference both to numbers and to pecuniary ability, without pressing heavily upon any, and operating equitably upon all.
