Awl alter all their work.. to llim,"
for, "It was not by might, nor by power, but by my
Spirit, maith the Lord of Hosts." He congratulated
them upon the state of their finance., and said he would
ind give much for that nian's religion who would not
allow hie minister bra ad to eat. If a man possessed true
religion, he would napport his minister liberally. In the
Wesleyan body he was happy to nay this was the case.
Although, with what they were allowed they could never
grow rich, yet on the other band they were never poor
they never starved thew. Ile exhorted the Society to
Labour inure zealously, to pray more earnestly that God
would bless their 'efforts. and that there might during
the coming year he a mighty ingathering of precious souls
to the church of Christ. (Applause)
Mr. Sii cnitEN, un being next called on to address• few
words to the meeting, said, that he looked on that meet-
nag as being one of a very interesting and important
character. Nor were such meetings new to them in the
Weymouth circuit. This called for gratitude anal thanks
to Goal for his past goodness to them, and an incentive
to increased exertion for the future. Sixty years ago,
Methodism was introduced into this town by their who I
were at that day "everywhere spoken against • " and
since that time, many precious souls had been added
the fold of Christ, and died full of hope blooming with
in ssssss rtality. Dorchester and Portland lend separated
from them, and banned district circuits, each 14 which
now numbered more membern than their thee
circuit. They had been told by their Chairman that
their finances were in • favourable position, and he
thought that if when their forefathers began to form
theinselven into a Christian church here, nunds ring in
all about :10 members, they erected the place of worship
in which they were then assembled, they, their
children, now 6 or 7 time* that number, ought to strive
to rais,, a more comiteslioun edifice —(hmar, hear)—and
that they ought to be well able ti sustain two
qv amongst them. They ought to be very
grateful 10 their forefathers. They had to ntruggle
with difficulties, yet they stood faithful to their pout,
and their successors were now reapiag the advantage of
'what they performed. The reauarks made by their
Chairman at the cumineucenient of these iaroceedings
were pertinent and to the point. Their ministera might
be mon of zeal and deep-tuned piety, and yet their work
would nut prosper unless they were well sustained by the
people. The Pnalmist gait!, " I give my heart unto
prayer," anal this was what they wanted. They wanted
a deeper tone of piety amongst theui ; to hold up the
hands of their anininters that the word of God might
become effectual. They wanted to lay a firmer hold
upon the promises, and to be men and women of prayer.
They must sustain the cause too, not only by continued,
but lay increased liberality. Ile had alwaya found in his
own experience the truth of that passage in the Bible
that “Goal lures a cheerful giver. He would not
take up more of their time' but he might perlaaps be
allowed, on behalf of laituself and his family, and on
behalf of those present, to bid their ministers • hearty
welcome. (Applause.)
The Rev. It. Cisme, on rising to address the meeting,
said that celebrated anal malel minister of (*lariat,
Richard Baxter, when on one occasion he had published
a work on a certain nubject, had his mind no much tan
the subject, and found no much to any upon it which he
heal not Aready atated, that lie published another work,
entitled " More last thoughts" Now lie felt hinatelf
placed in a nonsewlist a ar position. He recollected
that A ~,,, e six tar seven also:ala, ago, when he entered
upon his labours in this circuit, that they had a very
large tea meeting, called for a similar purpose to the
present, after which he was called upon to deliver an
address on the revival of religion in the North of
England, anti consequently these were "more last
words." He very heartily and gratefully reciprocated
the feeling that had been expressed towards him that
evening. First, he thanked them fur their kind invi-
tation to laisaur annaneat them during the coming year.
Since he bad been sitting there ilk mind had been full
of thouglata with respect to the pant. When nix or
Aeven natataths ago he was requested by the Prenialent of
Conference to come to the Wey th circuit, tu fill the
place of their superintendent, lately deceased, lie had
not the slightest intention of remaining here ; in fact,
when he left the North of England it OILS with an inten-
tion of goingback, for lie was pledged in a certain degree,
to labour in a circuit in that part of the country.
Since he bad Leen here, however, he lash recognized
the hand ad God, he had seen openings of unefulness,
anal lie had their pledge of the quarterly Meetings as
well as their statements that evening, of hearty cm
operation. He was n.ot aware of pooaesaing any par.
ticular fitnens, but it had SO happened, in the provi•
dance of God, that it had been lain bat to be appointed
the Superintendent in nearly every circuit to which he
lia.l travelled since he lasi been received into full con-
nection. And he might say to them as he had said
to other; that, without partiality and without offence,
he ahutild aim at the glory of God and of their wel-
fare. He felt his own insufficiency, anal therefore he
appeared before thean with the same request the noble
and eminent apostle aresented to lain people ; and lain
colleague would join him in the same raspiest and
any, " Brethren, pray for us." If they lash the
united prayers of the Church the bit-wings of Heaven
would rest upon them. It was the prayers of
the Church that wade the pulpit powerful

to the relationehip which should eubsist betwivis a
pastor awl -his $O.-k—bvtureen the minieter and the

He confessed tleet his aidieitiatiime in respect to the
coming year were very gavel. lire- xpected a great Sue-

The Rev. J. S. VINT, in the course of his address,
said that the faces before liiin were all strange, but he
recognized in them something of • family likens's., and
• strong family feeling. He had been greatly pleased

pressed the great pleasure he felt in having received
