MEMOIES.

REY. REUBEN H. MOFFETT.

Bro. Moffett was born in the town of Brimfield, Mass., Jul3'^21, 1797, and died

October 17, 1803. "When about two years old, his parents removed to New York.

In 1831, he came to Illinois, and settled in the vicinity of Bayley's Point, nowTonica.

Bro. iloft'ett's parents were Baptists, and, as he informed us, gave faithful at-

tention to the religious training of their children. AVe are not informed at whatage Bro. M. experienced religion, but it must have been in his early manhood.At first he united with the M. P. Church ; but on removing to this state, there

being no organization of that body here at that time, he joined the M. E.

Church. ;

Bro. Moffett was exercised about preaching the go.spel soon after his conversion,

but from an overwhelming sense of unfitness for the sacred calling, he hesitated

fearing to go forward and not daring to make up his mind that he would not

preach. In this state of suspense he was found by the late Rev. John Sinclair,

to whom he unbui'dened his mind. Under the judicious counsel of the sainted

man of God, Bro. M. was led to give him.<elf to the work of the ministr}-.

In 1S37, he was admitted on trial in the Illinois Conference, and appointed to

Yermillion Mission, Peoria District; in 1838, to Washington, Peoria District;

in 1839, Athens, Bloomington District; in 1840 and ISll, to Washington,Bloomington District; in 1812, to Mt. Yernon, Mt. Yernon District; in 1S43, to

"Wauponset, Bloomington District. In 1841, by division of the conference, hebecame a member of Rock River Conference, and his name is returned on the

Minutes "located," which we think is a mistake; for in frequent conversations,

he never mentioned having located, and his wife told us that she was quite

sure he never was located.

In 1845 and lS4t), he traveled Iroquois Cii<"uit, Washington District. lie wassuperannuated in 1847, 1848 and 1849. In 1850, he was made effective, and ap-

pointed to Farmington Circuit, Peoria District. In 1851, he was appointed to

Chillicothe Cu'cuit, Peoria District; but earl)' in the 3"ear his health failed, and at

the next session of the Conference, held in St. Charles, in 1852, he received a

superannuated relation, which he continued to receive annually until his death.

Bro. Moffett, when he joined the traveling connection, had a remai'kably

strong physical constitution; but while laboring on Iroquois Circuit, in 18415, hehad an attiick of " milch sickness," from the effects of which he never fully

recovered. To those unacquainted with him he had the appearance of robust

health, yet it recjuircd but ver}- little exertion of any kind to prostitite him.

He possessed a good mind, and having the advantage of early culture was cap?

ble of taking respectable rank in the ministry anywhere. He was a mangenuine courage. When satisfietl of the righteousness of an object, lie wrpursue it at an^' hazard. He would rebuke sin fcarles.sly, and as an administrof discipline he endeavored to "keep the rules, not mend them." >

As a friend, Bro. Moffett was strongly attached and devoted. As a Chr^he kept the faith. He was prepared to die, and often spoke of his readin

depart. Although his death was sudden and very distressing in man}' of >

cumstances, yet we all feel that it is well with him.He willed one third of his very consideraljle property—real and persona

the Foreign Missionary Society. He left a wife and two daughters, who min hope. R. HANE^

2. ON PETITION-TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Your committee, to whom was referred the duty of preparing a Petition to the Legis-

lature of the State of Illinois, respectfully submit ihe following Petition :

To th: Hmiorabh Senators and Jlepreseiitatiits of the Otneral Atsemhly of the State <fJlhiioix:

Your petitioners represent that, whereas the statute, in chapter thirty, section onehundred and forty-seven, division eleven, for tlie punishment of " Oflcnces against the

Public Morality," &c., in sudi ea.'ses made and provided, is inojierative in regard to a

large class of ofi'enders, from the fact that the said statute makes no provision for the

iprisonnjent of the offender, in case he, she, or they have no property out of whichofticer can make such fine : Therefore, we, your petitioners, most respectfully, but

estly request your honorable body to make such amendments to the said statute as

Ml your wisdom may deem neces.sary to secure the protection, peace and harmony/)batii schools, as well as " congregation or collection of citizens assembled togeth-

tlie purpose of worshiping .Vlmiglity God."ivoulil, therefore, respectfully request that the aforesaid section be so amended

ix'Jid, after the word " misdemeanor," in the tenth line, and upon conviction, shall

^d in any sum not exceeding fifty dollars, or imprisoned in the County Jail for a

lOt exceeding three months, or both, at -the option of the court,

id vour petitioners, as in dutv bound, will ever prav, &c.

3. ON INCREASE OP SALARY.

A Mcmorhil of tlie Memhtm of the Ceidral IVitioix Annual Covference lo the Frierids^

atid Jft rubers of the Church wuhin ihe bouiids of said (Jotiftreiice :

We, the members of the Central Illinois Annual Conference of the M. E. Churchin Conference assembled, to the members and friends of the Church, greeting:

—

In view of the important interests involved we would beg leave to lay before you the

subject of ministerial support for the ensuing Conference year.

Before this article meets your eye, about one hundred and fifty preachers connectedwith this body will have been assigned to their sej^eral fields of labor. They come to

minister to you in spiritual things. They come looking to you—dependent upon youfor an adequate support. Thus it is ordained of God, " They that preach the gospel

shall live by the gospel."

You will not think it strange then, dear brethren and friends, even with multiplied

and precious remembrances of your abounding liberality in the history of the past, that

we should now feel a deep solicitude with reference to the immediate future ; nor does

this anxiety result from even the remotest apprehension of our seivices being by youunderrated, any more than it implies deterioration on your part. We feel that we have

nothing to fear on these grounds. But we do believe that it would be quite unreason-

able for us to expect of you, in these times of commercial disturbance, a mature under-

standing of the complications of ecclesiastical finance, especially while your mind^ are

necessarily pre-occupied with business responsibilities peculiar to your own position.

Hence we deem it due to you, as well as to them who labor in love among you, ihat

we should present a concise statement of facts pertinent to the subject, which facts mayserve in some measure to guide you in your deliberations when you come to fix the sal-

aries of your preachers, while the history of this generation affords no parallel to the

extravagant prices which now rule, as one of the legitimate results of the terrible warwhich has so deranged our currency and distracted our commerce.We would accordingly submit for youV consideration the advance of groceries

and dry goods, which we average at 300 per cent., and the further advance of all farm

products, which we may fairly put at 400 per cent., the great staple commodity, corn,

having advanced even 700 per cent.

Now we grant that on dry goods and groceries the people, as well as the preacher,

are committed to pay the advance. But while this is true of the people, we aver that

the farmer and the mechanic suffer no pecuniary disadvantage therefrom. The ad-

vance in the price of labor brings the mechanic up to a level with the times. He pays

the farmer SIO per barrel for flour which four years ago he bought for $.5, and he pays

for it by turning out to the farmer a .wagon at ¥150, which flour at ^5 instead of |10

would have procured for $75 instead of *150.

The farmer pays 33 cents per pound for sugar which previous to the war cost 8 and

10 cents. He pays 60 cents for coffee instead of 15. He pays 50 cents for cotton

goods instead of V2\, &c. That is, he pays, just as the preacher does, say on an aver-

age, four times the former price of these articles. But how does he pay for them ?

We answer, he sells corn at $1.00 which he then sold at Vll cents. In other words,

the farmer now receives 3 pounds of sugar in exchange for one bushel of corn, instead of

li- pounds a.s formerly. He receives two yards of cotton for one bushel of corn, instead

of one at the begiiming of the rebellion. He now receives \.\ pounds of coffee for one

bushel of corn, whereas, four years ago he gave IJ bushels of corn for one pound of cof-

fee. All tliis, you will see, brethren, tends to the bnUdlng up, instead of the impairino^'

of the circumstances of the farmer. We have illustrated by naming a single commcity. We might extend the application \o almost every standard article upon wbj

our industrious yeomanry rely for a competence and for prosperity.

We now turn to the mercantile fraternity. It will here be seen at once th;

high ruling prices are favorable, rather than otherwi.se, to their pursuits. The^-

mate their profits by a per centum advance on the casli valuation of what they t

trade, without any particular reference to prices current.

From this view of the subject it is clear that the interests of tlie farmer, the

chant and the mechanic are quite .similarly affected by the prices of the times; a

is well known that the learned professions have advanced their fees in the same rt

But, we ask you, dear brethren, where is the itinerant, who, by his position, is ne

sarily cut off from almost every resource, and is not a party authorized to detern.

26 CEXTBAL ILLINOIS COXFEREXCE.

what is requisite that he may escape destitution, not even to think of providing for thefuture, or .sharing with those who, availing themselves of the times, are making large

accumulations of property.

Dear brethren, look but for a moment, and you will see that the itinerant is not onlydeprived of the benefits accruinj; to thousands by virtue of the superabundance of cur-

rency, but he stands hclirccn tirojircs lie must pay the farmer's advance on the onehand, and the merchant's on the other; thus suffering all the disadvantages resulting

from high prices with not even one advantage on his side. The itinerant alone is de-prived of the power of placing upon his time and his services the valuation whichwould be commensurate witli the demands of the times.

How many among our dear brethren even noted for liberality would, without inves-

tigation, .see the consistency of estimating now :Jl,'>oO where tliey estimated but *1<M)

four years ago ? or S-2,000 instead of *7'X> then ? And yet this would be only in ra-

tio with the 300 per cent, advance on such articles as enter into family consumption.Bear with us, then, dear friends, while we urge npon you by every consideration of

duty, consistency and justice, that you suffer not our Zion to languish, our altars to bedishonored, our religion to be reproached and our God offended ])y withholding fromhis cause while the angel of pro.sperity, smiling, guards and governs every interest con-nected with your farms, your shops and your stores. So may your souls be blest andvour hearts and minds be kept in the knowledge and love of God.

5. ON EDUCATION.

r BUIiop and Members of the Central Illinois Conference :

n Fathers AND Brethren:—Your Committee on Education would respectfully rc-j-at we learn from the representatives of the institutions under the supervision ofinference that they are all prospering, notwithstanding the disturbed condition ofcountry, in all the usual facilities for imparting an academical and collegiateation.

•Id debts are in process of liquidation, libraries and cabinets enlarged, and the num-of teachers and their compensation somewhat increased. We therefore recom-

md the adoption of the following report

:

KEPOKTS OF COMMITTEES. 27

ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.

Your conirnittee take pleasure in reporting the success and growth of the Illinois

Weslej'an University in all the essential elements of strength. The debt of the Uni-versity amounting to 87,951.81 has been paid, leaving no liability, except a small

amount for current expenses. There is §5.iu still due the teachers on salary, but thefunds on hand are sufficient to meet the claim. The attendance of students has beenand is steadily increasing. The whole number in all departments last year was 181,

including the model school. The term just opened bids fair to show a large increase

over last year. Indeed, there are more already enrolled than ever before at the samedate in the term. The facilities for instruction are keeping pace with the demands ofthe institution. Another member has been added to the Faculty this year, and the ad-

ditions made to the library and museum by the efforts of the President, especially at

the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, have been valuable and gratifying. Thehealthy growth of the University imperiously demands increased effort on the part of

its friends to supply its necessities. The amount paid for salaries to the teachers is

inadequate to their support.

The buildings of the University, though good, do not afford sufficient room for its

increasing wants. What steps in advance shall be taken to secure the desired means,and how we may meet the responsibilities that are thus thrown upon us in the provi-

dence of God, require our earnest and prayerful deliberation. We pledge ourselves to

give to our University our hearty support and best counsel at this state of its history,

phen the institution promises more fruits to the Conference than ever before. Werecommend the re-election to the office of Trustees 0. T. Reeves, L. B. Kent, J. G.

Evans and Win. Smith, whose term of office expires at this time ; also, the reappoint-

ment of Rev. 0. S. Munsell, D. D., as President, and Rev. C. C. Knowlton, A. M., as

Professor in the institution ; also, as visitors from this Conference W. C. Knapp, Rich-

ard Haney, J. B. Craig, P. A. Crist, G. il. Irwin and J. E. Rutledge.

HEDDIXG SEMINARY.

The reports from this institution are encouraging in regard to its relief from its

former financial embarrassments, and also in regard to its success in the number of its

students during the past year ; therefore

1. Hcso/vcd, That the Bishop is respectfully requested to appoint Rev. F. M. Chaffeeexclusively to the agency of this institution.

2. Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence in Prof. J. T. Dickinson, A. M,

the Principal, as a most faithful, devoted Christian teacher.

3. Resolved, That the brethren whose term as Trustees expires at this Conference,are hereby re-elected Tiustees for a term of three years; and that the preachers sta-

tioned at Galesburg, Knoxville, Avon, Prairie City, Berwick and Abingdon Station andCircuit be appointed visitors to attend its annual examinations.

GRAXD PRAIRIE SEMINARY.

Whereas, the Report of the Trustees and Faculty show this institution to be in amost prosperous condition ; therefore,

2. Resolved, That we cheerfully re-affirm our desire to regard it under the patronageof the Conference, and that we will gladly welcome to our pulpits those who may beengaged in promoting its interests.

2. Resolved, That we recommend the Presiding Bishop to appoint Rev. Geo. W.Gray, A. M , Principal, 0. W. Pollard, Professor of Mathematics and Commercial Sci-

ence, and the Presiding Elder of Onarga District, Agent.3. Resolved, That J. G. Evans, P. A. Crist, W. P. Graves, E. A. Hobbs and John

The charges and specifications agaipst W. J. Smith, of immorality, being by our con-sent withdrawn by the prosecution, we, therefore, recommend that his character bepassed.

The charge of mal-administration presented against him we declare sustained.

After duly considering the case against Bro L. B. Kent, and hearing the plea in

abatement from him, we consider he has not had sufficient time to prepare for trial, andwe decide that the case be summarily dismissed, and we recommend that the characterof L. B. Kent be passed.

We would report also that we have investigated the charge and specification of im-morality preferred against W. A. Presson, and we fully believe the charge is sustained;and we declare that he be, and is hereby expelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church,and that the Presiding Elder of the Macomb District be ordered to demand and receivehis parchments.

Also, the appealed case of Joseph Richmond came before us, and after due conside-ration we feel justified in declaring that his appeal be not entertained.

By the consent of the defendant, the complaint against Bro. F. Smith for mal-admin-istration was withdrawn.

A. MAGEE, Chairman.G. M. Irwin, Secretary,-

The Select Number would beg leave to report the following

:

The case of S. B. Guiberson on charge of immorality was taken up, and after hear-ing the arguments for and against entertaining the appeal, we decide that the appeal benot entertained.

Rock Island, Sept. 16, 1864.

10. ON STATE OF THE COUNTRY,

When a nation, threatened by cither foreign foes,' or domestic traitors, is strugglinwfor existence, and when reckless men, grown insolent by indulgence, falter at no frau-dulence that may weaken the power of the government and encourage rebels to more


vigorous efforts to destroy the nation, it becomes the duty of all loyal citizens to cherish

unwavering allegiance to the government, and to render it all the support in their

power.As Christian Ministers we disclaim all desire to interfere with questions purely politi-

cal,—bound, however, by our religious creed to allegiance to the government, and, in-

terested in common with other citizens in the permanence of our institutions, we claim

it to be our right—our duty—to give respectful, but plain and unequivocal expression

to opinions we entertain, matured by prayerful investigation, upon questions now agita-

ting the public mind ; therefore,

1. Resolved, That we regard the executive officer of the government, chosen according

to due forms of law, as " the minister of God," entitled to reverence and obedience for*' conscience sake."

2. Resolved, That in preserving the nation from destruction, the Executive is fully

justified in the use of every means rendered necessary by the exigences of the occa-

sion.

3. Uexohed, That, among the measures adopted by the government for the mainten-

ance of the Federal Union, we regard the proclamation giving liberty to the slaves in

states in rebellion against the government, as eminently wise and patriotic ; and,

though necessity alone conferred the right on the Executive, a department of the gov-

ernment of greatly restricted powers, yet t)ie exercise of that right was enjoiiicd by

the authority of the Hupreme liuler of the Universe ;" Let the oppressed go free,"

"Proclaim liberty througliout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof," are injunctions,

the neglect of which has brought upon us all the calamities we suffer as a nation.

4. Rfsolved, That though men of peace—ministeis of the gospel of i>eace—shocked at

the effusion of blood, pained with the cries of the widow and fatherless, keenly alive

to all the horror.s of internecine war—our sons are in the army—thousands of the

members of our communion are there—many of them the fruits of our own lal)or, yet

we earnestly, and solemnly protest against any adjustment of our present difficulties,

that docs not include submission to federal authority, freedom to the whole population,

and the vindication of the insulted flag of the nation, by the infliction of exemplarypenalties on the guilty leaders in their ati-ocious rebellion.

6. Rexolved, Tliat we regard t'.ie clamor of professional politicians for an armistice

and for a compromise with rclx'ls in arms, as the deceptive utterances of unprincipled

men, whose inordinate ambition for office incapacitates them for appreciating the dig-

nity of a government capable of vindicating its honor and protecting its subjects.

6. Rexohml, That the patience, the bravery, and the magnanimity of our men in the

armv, sheds an unfading luster on the American arms—that we pledge to them our

wannest sympathy and unfaltering support, and that with fraternal joy we will wel-

come their return from the field of concjuest, when the war is ended, and cherish the

memory of the heroic dead as the martyis of liberty.

7. Resolved, That we regard the Sanitary and Christian Commissions as twin sisters

of celestial birth, who, by administering alleviations to the sick and wounded, have

saved the lives of thousands of brave men—mitigated the sufferings of the dying, and

cheered with immortal hope the departing spirit, as it plumed its wings for its upward

fli"-ht. We pledge to them contributions to the full measure of our ability and the ex-

ercise of our social and ministerial influence.

8. Resolved, That the j)atience with which the colored man has endtn-ed the ojjpres-

sion of four generations, the forbearance he has exercised toward the guilty op[)res-

sor when providentially placed in circumstances to avenge his wrongs ; the readiness

with whicli he has sheltered, and fed, and directed our s-oldiers escaping from Southern

prisons pursued by blood-hounds, and ))y men more fierce and cruel than they ; the

j)romptness with which, when ])crmitted, he rallies around our flag, and tlie bravery

with which he sustains it in the fierceness of battle-strife, have purchased for him a

claim indisputable to all the immunities of an American citizen.

it. Resolved, That we recognize, with devout thankfulness, the Divine favor so sig-

nally manifest in the success He has given our armies in rescuing from tlic trait>,rous

power the larger portion of the territory of which it intended to rob us, and in the en-

couraging indications that promise a speedy termination of the war ; and that we will

not cease to pray that the nation, humbled and forgiven, may come out of its fiery trial,

purified, and fitted for usefulness among the nations of the earth

The only Machines that Stitch and Embroider

PERFECTLY.

Every one regards the Sewing Machine as a blessing to women. It has been the

saving of much toil, misery, and probably of the life itself. The "Song of the Shirt"

is now obsolete; the more enlivening ballad, "The Song of the Sewing-Machine," has

taken its place. We had heard, through our lady friends, of machines that wouldstitch, sew, hem, and of one that could make a perfect button-hole in a garment. Wphad supposed that perfection had almost been reached, knowing that these instruments

performed all the necessities in sewing. But it seems they still had the "accomplish-

ments" to learn. We are led to make tliese remarks, having recently seen someladies' cloaks elaborately embroidered with this Sewing Machine. Tlie work seems to

e.xcel anything executed by hand labor. Beside being more rapidly and cheaply exe-

cuted, the work has a more regular, and consequently a much more beautiful, appear-

ance. What is most remarkable about this novelty, is that the machine which executes

this wonderful workmanship is the most perfect in all other respects—the embroidering

quality being only an addition to its many other abilities of stitching, hemming, etc.

Those of our lady readers who wisli to view the instrument engaged in its cliarming

accomplishment, can do so by stepping into Messrs. Grover & Baker's establishment.

I HAVE RETUMED TO MY OLD LOYE.

Such is the daily espresfioa of thousands who have been induced to try the variousHair Restoratives you see paraded in show-window cards and newspaper headings as

genuine hair preparations. Their real merit, when they possess any, is that they dono harm. But the great fame of

PROE. 0. J. WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIYE!

acquired by a test of ton years, rests upon its real merit. Thousands all over thecountry are using it, and it does all we claim it can do.

HAIR WILL GROW ON' A BALD SCALP BY ITS USE.

Hair will turnfrom Gray to its original color bij its use.

Hair will be Preserved and Beautijied by its use.

Thousands of soldiers in the army have testified to the above, who had become grayand lost their hair by sickness, change of climate and inattention while performingcamp duty. We do not claim a red headed gentleman or lady can be turned into indi-

viduals with raven locks or auburn ringlets. But Gray Hair w^Ul be restored to tlie origi-

nal color by itx twe.

Reader, wherever you live, in any place you reside, Wood's Hair Restorative is sold.

Inquire for it at all tlie Druggists, and wherever such articles are usually obtained, andyou will find it as we say.

on the T. P. & W. Railroad. Thev are also convenient to the C. &A. Railroad, and to the BEST MARKETS in that section of the

State, having facilities of Railroad communication to every part of the

West. They are well supplied with, or are in the immediate vicinity

of an ABUNDANCE OF COAL. Fairbury is now wwking very

extensive coal mines of the best coal, it having taken the premiumover all other coal in the State.

THERE IS GOOD PURE WATER IN ABL^^DANCE.

These lands are among the very best in the country for fanning
