^^ METHODIST OONTERiarOE. The Longley Oaiie Dealt Norwicb. With at The Lonicli'y Cade. At 11 o'clock the Conference resolved itself into special snasion for the considera- tioQ of the Longley case. Rev. James Gray had charjje of the prosecution, and Rev. E. A. Stafford of the defence. All the charges, evidence, documents, etc., were read in open conference by the Secretary and Rev. D. L. Brethoor. The whole day was taken up with placing the ease before the conference. Various con- tradictory ramors have ^oneinto the news- papers concerning the whole matter, but the followin(» facts, bronght out in the evidence read to- day, may be relied upon as trustworthy : No charges of criminal conduct on the part of Mr. Longley were presented in the charges, and no evidence whatever was bronghtout to prove anything of the kind. This was distinctly under- stood by all. There were, however, indis- cretions, which Mr. Longley admitted. The interviews at the charch and at the Albion Hotel, Toronto, were not denied, but nothing criminally improper took place on either occasion. UK. LONIiLEv'a WUITTEX STATEMENT. The written statement of Mr. Longley was read, in which he positively stated that he had repeatedly endeavored to free him- self from the intimacy and have the inter- views cease, but he found himself unable to do so. It had been stated in the public press that Mr. Loogley's domestic relations were not happy, and that his wife had threatened to leave him. Not ii word was presented in the evidence to subatautiate these statements. On the contrary, docu- ments were read which showed that there was no domestic infelicity. In his state- ments Mr. Longley confesses his weakness, acknowledges that ba bad acted foolishly, bat most positively denies having any criminal relations with the young lady in question. Both seem to have been led almost unc«n->cioaaIy along in their career of infataation without realizing the fully of the course they were pursuing. Mr. Long- ley declares that he has most heartily re- pented of his sin and asked the Divine for- giveness. Us bad thought of entering into a secular occupation, but still feels called to pursue the work of the ministry, inasmuch as he believes God has forgiven him. He asked the Conference to deal as mildly with 'â-  him as possible, so that he might be able to pursuu bis work in another part of the world. Kev.James Gray addressed the conference, urging the adoption of the resolution of the Toronto District Meetiog. He thought the evidence justifit^d such a coarse. PLKA.S ruB LK.MliNCy. Kev. E. A.

Uther.i who have served the heaviest penalty. After hearing the charges and evidence in the case, he felt greatly relieved, and was of the opinion that mercy suited Mr. Longley's case best. He believed that Mr. Longley had sincerely repented, and in his opinion penitence had not oome too late. Some members of the Conference asked that the discussion be shortened so that delegates might leave on the afternoon train. ini. LOKGLEl'a aT.lTUMEST. The following is a brief synopsis of bis address : " There has been a mistake in regard to the length of time the interviews continued between the young lady and myself. It has been said that it continued for a whole year. I am willing to take my full share of blame ui the unfortunate matter. We both glided imperceptibly into the intimacy. There was no pre- mTditatod evil intention. I fre<iucutly intimated to her the impropriety of the interviews, although I am free to admit that I did not insist upon their immediate discontinuance. At the meeting which took place in the vestry of the church I was strongly advising her to consent to the complete cessation of the intimacy. ,Tuut then her mother knocked at the door. This made it necessary to arrange for another interview. 1 admit that we wore both very foolish, but not criminal. The interviews did not take place nearly as fre<)Uently as stated. When I went away from Toronto I did not intend to return. I acted upon advice in my course, but I found that it was to my advantage to return and meet my trial. There may seem to be some contradictions between the statements of the young lady and my own, but there is really no colli- sion, ulthough it may look like it. I am here to-day to ask for justice. I do not think it is fair to heap all the blame upon me â€" I have not been the teacher and leader of the young lady in a career of sin. I am willing to take my share of the blame, but not all. Her word should not be taken as final upon vital points and my word treated as worthless. All sorts of reports have been made, many uf them coming from malicious tongues. It is not just that all these should be accepted. I am here to ask, in justice, that the extreme penalty be not visited upon me, because the extreme charge has not even been made. I am here to ask for mercy. I have been sufiicieutly bumbled and crushed to ask for mercy â€" not for the sake of bolstering up what is left of my reputation, but for the sake of the good 1 may still be able to do in the calling 1 love. I sincerely thank my brethren who have stood by me during this severe trial. I shall not refer to my past record of twenty years, but think it ought to count for something. I admit my error ; I de- serve punishment ; and 1 have been pun- ished already. Had it not beon for this anfurtuiiate affair my name would have stood connected with one of the leading churches in this Dominion. My own con- sciouaueris of personal sin has been my meat and Irink day and night. I must be followed by my wrong doing. My min- isterial life is in your bands.

In his opinion twenty years uf faithful service and correct life ought to count for something. The leading of&cials of the Dominion Church have expressed their umiualitied confidence in Mr. Longley. Ri-v. Dr. Burns also spoke strongly in favor of tho defendant. KIITLSION MOVKl) TOIL It was then moved that the recommenda- tion of the Toronto district be adopto<i, thus expelling Mr. Longley from the ministry of the Methodist Charch. It was moved in amendment that Mr. Longley be reprimanded by the chsir and permitted to retire without bis credentials, which is in substance accepting his resigna- tion. Shortly alter the commencement ef the afteriitKiu proceedings the Conference was resolved into a special session for continu- ing the Longley case. All persons uot members of the Conference were asked to retire. Several did so, but a few remained, who had to be H|)ecially requested to leave. Uev. John Wakefield was the first speaker. Hu was iu favor of adopting the recommendation of the Toronto District. Mr. Lougley's mistake was uot the result of a sadden impulse by which a man might be overtaken in a moment, but it had gradually developed through suooeflsive weeks and months. It had been stated (bat Mr. Longley had not been guilty of criminal relations with the lady in ques- tion, but ic was a very difficult thing to prove. Tho interviews, to say the least, were highly improper. Us thought ths Church, and the families of the Church, should bo protected from men who had acted as Mr. Longley had done. Mr. T. S. Liusoott said that Mr. Long- ley's fault could uot be overlooked, but there was .lUoh a thing as mercy. It would be a very uiikiud thing to suppose that the grosser form of sin had been committed It hail uot been proved for it VKllDICT OK THB I.'O.NI'EIIKSCK. The following resolution was then moved by Rev. U. W. Woodsworth, seconded by Rev. W. H. Laird : " That having heard all the evidence in the caee of liev. B. Longley, we deeply deplore the glaring in- consistency and sinful folly of bis oonduot, and hereby ailjadge that ho be suspended from tho ministry of the Methodist Church for a period of one year. And weearnestly pray that the fruits of a repentance, which we are glad to recognize as sincere and genuine, may henceforth be manifested in a oonsistont and holy life." This resolution was carried by a vote of 50 to 40. Rev. Mr. Calvert's motion was therefore not voted on. Tho Conference then adjourned. Nbe Would.

In civil courts a defendant is always given the benefit of any doubt which might exist. He was iu favor of doing this iu Mr. Longley's case. Rev. T. W. Jackson went over the evi- dence, and urged that deposition from the ministry was tho adequate punishment for Mr. Lougley's crime. Uev. Thomas Colling said that while the extreme of guilt had n')t been'proven, the crinio of the defendant was such that it ^ merited a very severe punishment. He could not forget the age, ability and ex- perience of Mr. Longley, which very largely deprived him of excuao.

The " Speculum Mondi ; or, a Glass Representing the Face of thu World," which was published in 1070, before the advent uf roal science, contains some very urious statements in natural history, says tho I'nimlar Scienci: ilviulily. "Tho bigness of thu whales," it says, "equalizeth the hills and mighty mountains." Indeed, some authors mention "far greater whales than these." Abo ye all others, mermen and murmaida are considered " the moat strange fish in the waters." A fine speci- men of mermaid, which was said to have been caught iu Holland, "suffered herself to be clothed, fed witli broad, milk and other meats, and would often strive to steal again into thu sea, but being carefully watched she could not. Moreover, she learned to spin and perform other petty uflices of women ; but at the first they cleansed her of the sea- moss which did slick about her." Tho ostrich is said to be compounded, as it were, of a bird and a beast. For making a drunkard loathe his liquor a prescription is given for breaking owls' eggs and putting; them into it. Birds of Paradise " have no wings, neither do tney fiy, but are borne up into the air by the aubstility of their plumes and lightness of their body." The unicorn is described as being like a two-year-old colt, with a horn growing out of his foroliead, " a very rich one, being a horn of such virtue as is in no beast's horns bsides, which, while some have gone about to deny they have secretly blinded the eyes of tho world from their full view of tho greatness of God's ureat works." Tho gorgoii is a "fearful and terrible beast to look upon. He causotb his uiauu to stand upright, and, ;(aping wide, he sendoth forth a horrible and filthy breath, which infectoth and poisoneth tho air." The cockatrice or basilisk is called the king of serpents, not only ou account of bis si/x;, but also 'â-  for his stately pace and mag- nanimous mind." His iKjison scorches the grass as if it were burned. The " beams ' of his eye will kill a man. Tho drogon is found cbiedy iu India and Ethiopia. " His wings will carry him to seek his prey when and whore occasion serveth." Uia teeth ant very sharp and set like a saw, but his prodigious strength " resteth in his tail."

' Un that occasion the chief featuresof the proceedings were illus- trated 111 a London pictorial weekly, but the present occasion ueeins to have passed unnoticed. For fifteen days Bangkok was given up to revelry. No work was done, and such amusements as fireworks, illuini nations and interminable dramatic per- formances were provided nightly and kept up till 'i or -i o'clock a.m. Tho building in whii;h the cremation was effected had been erected at a cost exceeding .'jO.UOO pounds sterlini;, a fact which, as it is now being 'lemolishcd as having served its purpose, shows munificence, if not extravagance.
