After tea, the chair was taken by the Rev. IL 3loctig,

those &trembled. In the first place he must say he had

mutual benefit in sickness, and the bringing together the
menders in closer connection, and thereby pro ~,,, ting
brotherly and ncial feeling. These gatherings showed
that they could moot together.. English and Christian
people, end enjoy theineelvas without the use of
stimulants. Each succeeding meeting seemed to luring
him greater pleasure. It was nit), much setisfaction lie
looked upon the enlargement of the room in which they
were amembled, and he desired to thank God who had
enabled him to make the alterations, without whose help
he could have ilone nothing. Kind friends had she
seconded his efforts by their subecriptions, and to theni he
felt deeply indebted. By enlarging that room, ansl having
it used ae an infant school, they hail done much towards
promoting the required school acceuiniodeti ~,,, and
thereby kept out a School Board • to that children could
