General Conference M. E. Church.
Reduced Railroad Ra esThe General Conference of the M. E. Church will ba held in Cincinnati, May Ist to 28th. 1880. Many import ant subjects will be considered, and the discussions and action thereon will be of unusual interest. The strongest men of the Church, ministers and laymen, will participate in the debates. Bishops will be elected to fill’vacancies—laymen admitted to representation in the Conference, foreign delegates received with interesting ceremonies, special services held in memory of deceased Bishops, etc. The Pittsburgh Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway Co.—Pa'j-Handle Route—‘have agreed to return delegates paying full fare over its line to Cincinnati, at the rate of one cent per mile, upon certificate of Secretary. Those preferring to purchase round-trip excursion tickets, can procure orders for such tickets by addressing W.Jj.’O’Brien, General Passenger Agent, Pan Handle Route, Columbus, O. It is, perhaps, needless to remind delegates that there are more frequent trains to and from Cincinnati by Pan-Handle Route, than by any other line. It is the shortest, best constructed, and most perfectly equipped road leading to that city.
