Excerpt from Manual of the Laws and Discipline of the Methodist Church in Ireland: Published by Order of the Irish Conference, 1889 The Editorial Committee appointed by the Conference to superintend the publication of the "Manual of Laws and Discipline" has found it necessary, in a few instances, for the sake of order and clearness, to alter the arrangement of the matter embraced in some of the Chapters; some Sections and paragraphs have also been recast with the same object. In the progress of the work it was found that some matters of administration which by usage had become accepted "Rules" had not been formulated in any specific "Resolution" or "Minute"; these the Committee thought it within its function to put into form, and accordingly this has been done. In no instance has any alteration in, or addition to, the undoubted "Rule" of the Connexion been attempted; and in any verbal changes which have been necessary in order to harmonize modes of expression, the Committee has been careful to maintain the spirit and intent of the original "Minute." The arrangement of the whole subject matter in consecutively numbered paragraphs, facilitating, as it does, ready reference, will, it is hoped, be accepted as an improvement.
