AR1. I.-GENERAL CONFERENCE OF 1844.

WHEN Coke and Asbury began to give organic form to the Church "over which the Holy Ghost had made them overseers," they found a large gathered flock in the Southern States. In that inviting and prosperous field a Gospel of perfect freedom had been preached by strong antislavery men, and accepted by slaveholders. The wrong of slaveholding had been a clear outspoken part of that Gospel, and while the humane spirit of many masters antagonized the spirit of slavery, and united with the formidable difficulties which society had opposed to emancipation to urge forbearance and delay, the animus of the system made it such an "enormous evil" that it was publicly condemned and marked for "extirpation." Orders were passed for what, under the circumstances, must be acknowledged as very prompt, decisive action-emancipation, withdrawal, or expulsion.
