The Chairman said he felt • very groat pleasure in
meeting them on such an ocearion, but he felt sure the
friends would not expect • long speeeti from Mut as be
was supported on his right hand and left by such able
speakers, and be thought he was • little out of pleas
when he eaw before hint his good friend, Mr. Bnnws7ll.
the owner of the bars. He geared on Mr. Hardy, from
Weymouth, to address the mosting.-111r. Hardy said
he bad been thinking much about the tree of liberty
and its fraite—the tree which our lorelattems pleated
by shedding their own blood, and the fruits they were
plucking that evening. He then spoke of the fruits
that had been eau in this village from the tree of liberty
through proubiag of God's word, and said he was
thankful for such men as his friend Davis, and others
who would go forth bearing those blessed truths.
Mr. Davis, the Evangelist, said he was pleased to meet
his treads on such an occasion, and he felt thankful
on looking around to see not only Baptista. but
Independents, Churchmen. and Weeleyaos. He wee
not mat in this siontity am • Baptist, but as • Christian,
and he could love all that loved the Lord Jesus
Cnriat. He bad been trying for • long time to lose
eight of meets end parties and looking more to Christ
and his cher& se one. The Bev. J. B. Brett, from
the Baptist Church, Dorchester, addressed the meeting
In a very able manner, lie urged tbe people in a
most earnest manner not to feel nalialed with their

might do, the time would soon come when they would
not meet in • barn but in s nice little chapel. The Bow.
T. NA&VO, from the Independent Cherub, Dorchester,
spoke at some length on the stride that Nonsonformises
had been making, and were still making, in this

&sleet when we should see greater changes in our land
and in the State Church. In his cluing remarks he
"ea very Genesi with the people that they should be mhoere. He wee pleased to be with them that even-
lad. because he felt happy to help his good friend
end brother, Mr. Davis, who was doing snob • good
work in those villages. He we. pleased with
whaA he had already seen of the work, and
he hoped that his friend's life would long be spend.
The Bev, Be A. Griffin, frost the Baptist Chunk
Weymouth, addressed the meeting, commenting on
all the previous speeches. He mid as to Mr. Davis he
thought be might have made • little mistake when
he spoke about his being sent "not as e B•ptist bets, a
Christian." tie knew hie friend was a Roptist, and he
felt sure he would preach the whole Gospel to the
people, and if there should be at any tame a little
queerness coming over his friend about the subject of
religious Baptism if the people would send for him,
St Weymouth, or his friend Brett, of Dorcheirter, they
would come end instruct them on the subject. Prayer
was then offered by Mr. H. Christopher, of Broad-
mayo., which brought • very pleasant day to a clue.
