(Weymouth) was in the chair. After prayer by the
chairman, he briefly introduced the lecturer, asking
for the prayers of the audience in behalf of the great
mission work that is now being carried on in India,
and asking for further aid to make it a still greater
success. Mr. Watson then commencied a most instruc-
tive lecture,. which was listened to with great atten-
tion', the pictures making it still more interesting,
and hs concluded by inviting those that could help to
help willingly, and the Lord would blase them. The
chairman thanked Mr. Wanton in behalf of the
audience for the vivid description he had given them
