to the toast, and now he begged that they would drink, in
a full glass, the health of the Earl of Derby, (Great
cheering.) They seemed to receive the toast, with so much
cordiality that they could not do less than drink it with three
times three. The call was most readily responded to, and
,the t ast drunk.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that if anything could
add to the gratification which he must fuel as a son at the
manner in which the health of his father had been re-
ceived by an assemblage cf those, who, living in his im-
mediate neighbourhood, or very nearly so, were qualified
to judge of the merits of the toast, it would be the terms
in which that toast had been proposed by his noble friend
Lord Sefton. His Lordship concluded by proposing the
healths of the Vice-Presidents,---Lord Sefton, Mr. Ro-
bertson Gladstone, and Mr. Watt; and, in doing so, lie
expressed the gratification he felt at seeing two out of the
three Vice-Presidents present. The toast was very warmly
received.

Lord SEFTON said, that the very flattering manner in
which they had drunk his health demanded his warmest
thanks. He should, however, be much more -proud of
the reception, and of the kind marks of their approbation,
if he thought he was at all deserving of either. Ile had
long lived amongst them. It gave him great pleasure to
see them prosper. Whether it was the merchant, the ma-
nufacturer, the tenant, or the labourer, it always afforded'
him pleasure to see prosperity abounding. The object of
this society was that they should come together—that
some should teach while others learned. He did not him-
self profess to be a teacher of the science of agriculture,
and therefore he should not occupy more of their time,
but make way for those more competent to impart the ne-
cessary instruction upon the subject. (Cheers.)

The CHAIRMAN said the members of the society would
recollect that in former years the wall behind the Presi-
dent's seat was covered with silver articles for distribu-
tion among the successfut competitors, and that it formed
a very imposing array. In the course of time, however,

some of the successful competitors—or he ought rather to
say their wives, finding that they had got so many teapots
and teaspoons that they knew not what to do with them,
suggested to their other halves—(laughter)—that it would
be more desirable to get the amount of their prizes in
money, in order that they might buy the teapots and tea-
spoons themselves, if they liked. It had been, therefore,
decided that all the premiums should be paid in money :
and, with the permission of the company, he should now
proceed to read over the names-of the successful candi-
dates, to whom Mr. Lucas was, he believed, prepared to
meet all demands in full, if any of the competitors desired
then to receive the amount. His Lordship then proceeded
to read over the list of prizes, occasionally making such
remarks to the successful candidates as were calculated to
encourage them to renewed industry and perseverance.
He then proposed the health of the Right Hon. Lord
Lilford, as a warm patron of agriculture, and coupled with,
the toast the agriculturists of Northamptonshire.
Lord LILFORD briefly returned thanks, and in doing
so said that the distribution of prizes was a proceeding
which, in his mind, was one of the most interesting in
which human beings could be engaged. He had witnessed
the ceremony in Northamptonshire, and believed in his
heart that it was productive not only of temporary gratifi-
cation to the parties themselves, but to the society which
they formed a part. (Cheers.) From circumstances over
which he had no control his residence in Lancashire had
been much interrupted; but there were some present with
whom he had the honour to stand in the relation of I ind-
lad and tenant. (Cheers.) He was quite sure that meet-
ings of this description tended to draw closer the bonds o'
amity between landlord and tenant ; and in the name of
the agriculturists of Northamptonshire, he begged to re-
turn them his most grateful thanks.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Judges," upon
whose judgment and impartiality he passed a very high
eulogium.
Mr. TORR, one of the judges, returned thanks on behalf
of himself and colleagues, and in the course of his remarks
threw out some excellent practical suggestions. He be-
lieved that if a landlord kept a good bull for the use of his
tenants, he did them service; but if he kept an inferior
bull, the tenant would be in a better condition if he oh-
tained a hull from some other quarter. He suggested that
more liberal premiums ought, if possible, to be offered for
agricultural implements, in order to encourage a larger
show. He thought the poor grass lands ought to be taken
up throughout England, and that the tenants ought to be
allowed a heavier return of tenant-right.
the CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Mayor
of Liverpool, and said it always afforded him pleasure
when the chief magistrate of such a town, representing.
as he did, its great commercial and mercantile interests,
lent his countenance to an occasion such as that. The
toast was warmly received.
The MAYOR said he felt deeply obliged to his Lordship
and the company ; and on behalf of the corporation, as
well as on his own, he begged most sincerely to thank
them. He might be-allowed to say, that he had on pre-
vious occasions attended those anniversaries with pleasure
and satisfaction, and that he was delighted to find they
did not lose a particle of their interest. (Hear, hear.)
Indeed he believed there never was a time when the value
and importance of those societies were more deeply felt,
or when the commercial and trading interests valued and
appreciated them more highly than at present. They
knew that if the lands were well drained, and if we had
abundant harvests, there was no drain on the country of
its precious metak ; the money market, at such a time,
was easy, commerce and trade were stimulated, the wages
of the labourer were enhanced, and the prices of pro-
visions were moderate. (Cheers.) He could not but con-
gratulate them on the existence of this and kindred socie-
ties, so well calculated as they were to inform and stimu-
late the farmer in his pursuits; and he wished them good
luck, and hoped they might continue to prosper. The
Mayor concluded by proposing, amidst deafening and
long-continued applause, the health of the noble chairman.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and said that he de-
rived the greatest satisfaction at finding that he possessed
the confidence of those amongst whom he was best known
—the inhabitants of his native county. He concluded by
proposing the healths of the successful candidates.
Mr. ROBERT NEILSON returned thanks, and in doing
so made several practical observations on ploughing,
draining, and sub-soiling, for which, we regret, we have
ospaceat command.

Lard STANLEY again rose, and said they had proposed
many toasts this evening, but the one he had to propose,
he thought, was as important as any which had been
brought before them. Indeed, it was one intimately con-
nected with the prosperity of the Liverpool Agricultural
Society, a number of gentlemen to whom they were all
indebted, and he considered it would be a gross act of in-
gratitude and neglect if they did not record their acknow•
ledgrnent of the services of those gentlemen to the Liver-
pool Agricultural Society—he meant the committee of
management. (Loud cheers ) With whom he would
combine the name of their talented and able secretary,
Mr. Ledger. (Cheers.)
Mr. LEDGER returned thanks.

A number of other toasts, Chiefly of a complimentary
nature, followed, and the company separated at a quarter
to ten o'clock.

LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY SOCIETY FOR PRO-
MOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS.

The annual services in connection with the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society for
Promoting Christianity among the Jews, commenced on
V. ednesday last, and will not terminate before Sunday
morning next. The first part of the services was the
celebration of divine service in Christ Church, on Wed-
nesday evening, by the Rev. A. M. Myers ; during which
three of the brethren of the House of Israel were publicly
baptized. Each of these persons had been inmates of the
Liverpool Institution, and there is every reason to expect
that their profession and practice of christianity will be
consistent and praiseworthy. The next branch of the
services; was a pub:ic meeting, which was held on the
evening of Friday, in St. Bride's school-room, Grey-street,
at which several clergymen attended and some addresses
of a highly interesting character in connection with the
cause were delivered. The following evening, Saturday,
at seven o'clock there was a public prayer meeting in the
Institution 'House, Slater-street; the blessing of Almighty
God upon the proCeedings of the-anniversary, and on-the
extension of his truth among the children of Israel was
here most earnestly supplicated. On Sunday the usual
sermons were preached.
The public meeting of the members and friends of the
Society was held at half-past six o'clock last night, in the
Royal Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-street. There was
a most numerous attendance of clergy and laity. The
Rev. H. S. Joseph was prevented being present by severe
indisposition, brought on by over exertion, and we are
sorry to hear that he has been forbidden by his medical
adviser to preach or speak publicly for six months.
The Rev. JAMES HALDANE STEWART was called to
the chair; beside whom we noticed the following:—
Revs. H. M'Neile, J. Jones, Thos. Nolan, Dr. Tattershall; M.
Brock, J. J. Reynolds, and W. R. Fremantle, the deputation ; F.
Barker, W. W. Eubank, H. Carpenter, W. Rawson, S. P. Bout-
flower, B. A. Marshall, H. Hampton, J. Cordeaux, W. Butler, F.
Ould, A. M`Conkey, S. Fenton, 11. Davies, R. Walker (Crosby),

W. Lawrence, G. F. Greene, W. Maynard, Chas Badham, H.
Biggins, Wray Hunt, M. Meyler, Irvine, Warner, H. J.
Wilkinson, C. J. Hamilton, R. Congreve, and H. J. Ilindley ;
Messrs. Wm. Jones, Thos. Porter, Geo. Langtry, W. Brocklebank,
Keeling (Runcorn), J. Rigby, J. Eden, Thos. Forsyth, W.
Maples, R. Harbord, J. K. Rounthwaite, Thos. Houghton, J.
Overend, and Cosgrove.

The Rev. T. Not AN having supplicated the Divine
blessing upon the meeting and its objects,
The venerable CHAIRMAN, in his opening observations,
remarked that they had met in very pleasing circum-
stances. For instance, God in his great goodness had
granted to us an abundant harvest; the cloud which had
long hovered over our commerce had passed away ; and
our gracious Queen had been blessed with another son,
thus giving to us a confirmation of the delightful hope
that we should still continue to live under a line of Pro-
testant princes, under whose happy and mild government
we had enjoyed so much civil and religious liberty (hear,
hear.) There was peace, too, throughout the whole
world ; the monarchs of Europe wished our country not
to engage in alliances for hostility, but as brethren, to
promote a spirit of love and brotherly concord. Surely
then there was cause for thankfulness ; but whilst they
met under these happy circumstances as regarded them-
selves, assembled in the cause of God's ancient people, it
could not but be borne in mind that Jerusalem was still

troddei, under foot of the Gentiles, the mosque of Omar
still stood upon the very place where the temple of God
formerly stood ; they must bear in mind also that it
might still be said of the children of Judah as it had been
said :

.
Tribe of the wandering foot and weary breast,
How wilt thou flee and be at rest?
The wild dove has its nest, the fox its cave,
Mankind their country—lsrael but the grave.
They might still use the language of Scripture and say,
" Jerusalem is still in the dn,t —Babylon still lifts its
head." The false prophet still had many followers; our
God's name was still blasphemed ; his Sabbaths were
broken, his word profaned, and open infidelity stalked
abroad. On these and other important grounds he strongly
urged the necessity of supporting this society.
The Rev. Tnomns NOLAN then read the annual report
of the Liverpool Auxiliary, of which the following is an
abstract

The report showed the proceedings of the Committee during
the past year. They regretted to say that their dear friend and
brother, Mr. C. Boutfiower, the late treasurer, had been called
hence ; for tie was a zealous and long-tried friend of the Jewish
cause, and a devout Chrstian. They had satisfaction in re-
peating that the interest felt by God's children in the spiritual
welfare of the Jews was progressively increasing. The meet-
ings had been more numerous, and there was an increased at-
tentir n to the object in view, amongst many who were not
befoie sensible of its importance. Several new auxiliaries had
beeq formed, and a foundation laid for more extended exertions
in future. They gratefully acknowledged the contributions of
their Liverpool friends, and rejoiced that there bad been an in-
crease of the funds over those of the past year. From the
financial report of the parent society, the aggregate receipts
during the year amounted to £25,305, being an increase of
259 above the receipts of the preceding year. The attendance
of baptized and unbaptized Jews at the Episcopal Chapel, ave.
raged from 39 to 6o adults. The number of children in the
Hebrew Schools f the society was 50 boys and 44 girls. At
the Hebrew College 13 missionary candidates (the same num-
ber as last year) had pursued their studies under the direction
of the Principal, and of these 10 were members of the House of
Israel. The applications in London for Christian instruction
had been numerous during the year. In Liverpool, the Rev.
11. S. Joseph had rendered very efficient service to the cause.
by visiting the auxiliaries in differ; nt parts of the kingdom, and
plead ng the claims of Israel there, and also from the pulpit.
As the number of Jews in the large towns of the West of Eng-
land is considerable, the Committee have stationed a missionary
at Bristol, whence he can reacily visit Bath, and he has already
met with much encouragement. The report concluded with a
warm and Christian appeal, and a pious aspiration in behalf of
he society.
The Rev: JOHN JONES, minister of St. Andrew's
Church, moved the first resolution, which was to the ef-
fect, that the report be adopted and printed ; and that the
meeting regarded with renewed feelings of gratitude to
Almighty God, the blessing which had attended the la-
bours of the society in behalf of his ancient people. The
reverend gentleman, at some length, defended the society
from a number of objections made against it, contending
that its proceedings were justified by the specific com-
mands of our Lord.

The Rev. HUGH M'NEILE seconded the resolution,
observing that he would call attention to one particular
passage in the report, which referred to the institution, in

This town, for the shelter and support of inquiring bap-
tised Jews. That institution was not so well known, and
he believed, upon that account principally, not so well
supported as it deserved to be. If he were not mistaken,
that institution, and asylums similar to it, connected

themselves directly with a very important question which
had been aeitated in the Parent Society in London, and
brought forward at general meetings among the best
friends the cause of Israel numbered in this country.
(Hear.) He meant the question of temporal relief to
enquiring and baptised Jews. (Hear, hear.) It had al-
ways been felt to be a difficult matter to determine how
relief should be systematically adminis'ered. He did not
think there bad been much difficulty in determining that
relief should be given, but there had been difficulty in
determining how to give it. If temporal relief were
given, arid if it were publicly known that such relief were
given, there was danger upon one side, that hypocrisy,
ever ready, would avail itself of the open door, and
Christian bounty would be abused. it was the duty of
Christians to guard against this. They had not only to
consider the duty of Christian prudence, but to consider
the privilege of Christian sympathy ; for if no relief were
given, then enquiring Jews were upon the very brink of
being rejected altogether by their own people, or when
altogether rejected by their own, instead of being taken
up and for a time supported by us, found themselves at
once in a state of temporal destitution, while they had
not yet had time to consider the deep grounds of these
spiritual truths, for the sake of which they had incurred
that temporal distress. The burden of martyrs was
laid upon them before they had had time to acquire the
strength of a child. It was the privilege of Christian
sympathy to guard against this; and what was required,
was some mode of administering temporal relief, which
should at once be safe upon one side of the duty of
Christian prudence, and upon the other exercise the
privilege of Christian sympathy. It was confessedly
difficult. (Hear.) When this society was originally
instituted a part of its plan was to give temporal-relief; and
an accusation was brought: against its operations by the
Jews that it sought to make converts by bribery. (Hear.)
The plan of giving relief was therefore relinquished ,• the
object of the society was strictly limited to spiritual in-
strucion ; and then the charge brought against it was
that it would make converts to starve. He thought, too,
it was a very unfair charge to bring against the institution
that it did not deserve the name of Christian, because
there was some part of Christian duty which it did not
aim at fulfilling. It was not a society for carrying out
the whole length and breadth of Christian duty : it was a
society for a specific purpose, That purpose was to pro-
mote Christianity among the Jews by the preaching of
the Gospel, by the instruction of th- young, and by the
other spiritual means placed within its reach. The funds
of the society were collected for that purpose; and he'
thought it would be very unfair that funds collected for
one purpose should be expended for another, or that any
part of the funds collected for one purpose should be ex-
pended for another purpose. He confessed that he thought
the society had acted wisely in determining to maintain its
spiritual and scriptural character, and in declining the
proposal which some had made, that part of its- general
fonds should be applied to temporal relief; but if it were
admitted that the society was right in confining itself to
the spiritual object, it by no means followed that they
(the public) would be right in so confining themselves.
(Hear, hear.) The society was organised for a specific
purpose, but the support of it was in the nature of a
Christian duty towards the Jews. Granted that we sup-
ported the society as we ought to do,—and perhaps fe.v
would have the presumption to say they had acquitted
themselves in the whole length and breadth of Christian
duty towards the Jews,—there remained a duty upon us
as Christians after supporting the society, after con-
tribeting towards their spiritual instruction, with regard
to their temporal condition. (Hear, bear.) He was
clad to hear this referred to in the report, because he con-
sidered it a most legitimate matter to give instruction
upon, although the society would still observe its single-
ness of purpose, and apply all its funds to the spiritual
objects designed ; he therefore did not feel he was travel.
ling out of his course in proposing this matter to the at-
tention of the meeting, although, strictly speaking, it was
not a part of the operations of the society. It arose cut
of those operations in this way ; they pointed to one part
of our duty as Christians towards the Jews, and he availed
himself of the opportunity to suggest another part. He
hoped that this made it very clear, so far as it was possi-
ble. how to maintain the Cristian duty of giving temporal
relief to the Jews, while at the same time we maintained
the Christian wisdom of confining the operation of this
society to spiritual objects. (Hear.) But then the ques-
tion occurred how was this temporal relief to be adminis-
tered ? A separate fund had been suggested ; and they
had been told that a separate fund had failed. The reason
why it had failed, he thought, had been that the mode of
administering it had not been explained; for surely before
they could consistently, or with any good hope of success,
call upon the public to supply funds, they ought to inform
the contributors how those funds would be used when
they got them. There were persons who said "let us have
a fund first, and then we'll use it." This was fair, per-
haps, with regard to our own money, with which we could
do as we liked; but if you asked the public for theirs,
they had a right to demand from you before they gave,
,‘ What are you going to do with it ?" "how are you
going to spend it ?" If it were proposed in a general in-
definite way that a separate fund for temporal relief be
placed at the disposal of the committees of the various
Jewish auxiliaries throughout the country, he did
not think there would be any fair prospect of success ;
he did not know who the officers of those auxili-.
aries were who would undertake the responsibility of ad-
ministering at their own discretion funds so placed at
their disposal. Ele for one confessed, as connected with
the auxiliary in this town, he should always shrink from
any such responsibility ; he would not undertake to have
any hand in the disposal of such a fund unless upon prin-
ciples laid down, plainly defined to the public when they
were asked for their money, and then honestly acted upon
when they had given the money. (Hear.) How, then.
were such principles to be laid down and acted upon ?
The question again recurred; and here he reverted to the
institutions before named. He thought by asylums
formed for receiving and for retaining baptized Jews
within their walls, under certain specified rules and rel-
gulations, and by asking the Christian public to give sub-
scriptions for the support of these asylums, they might
attain to a plan of rescuing their Jewish friends from the
immediate pressure of want during their enquiries or
speedily after their baptism. He granted that we could
not permanently do so ; that, he thought, was hopeless ;
but there must be hardship somewhere; and if it pleased
God to convert men, and by that conversion withdraw
them from civil associates upon whom they had been de-
pending for a livelihood, they must count the cost, and be
exposed to some trials in consequence. All that they
could do—all that they could reasonably be expected to do
—was that they should for a time after the conversion of
a Jew, shelter him from immediate want, supply his
pressing wants for a time, and during that time strengthen
him in the faith, and instruct him in the principles of
Christianity. They might make what enquiry they could
among their own friends to procure employment for him
at the end of that time; but whether they could succeed
him employment or not at the end of that
time r
must have done with him ; they must say
Gnopdboteehuweryiitnhg you ; go forth ; we have been the means of
converting you and leading you into the true faith,
but we cannot continue all the year to support you ; go
forth now and God be with you." (Hear.) The pro b-
lem then was reduced a little in difficulty ; it was now
this, " how shall we adopt a plan which shall give refuge
and support for a certain period to converted Jews, in
titt w o
order that they may not in the very infancy of their
christianity be cast upon an unfeeling world ? " Such
asylums as he had referred to supplied, be thought, an
ose.of therefore,

an examining committee before any Jew should .b

once admitted there must be a limit to the time he sb°.°_,
be retained in it. He ventured to propose that every Jr
professing sincere inquiry into the truth of ChristiaMtY
who should be admitted into the Asylum, at the exP111;
Lion of one year from the date of admission, toll
he desired it sooner himself, should be brought before the
examining committee ; and if he should then be tl'
willing to be baptised, or if the examining committee cop!
sidered him not qualified for that holy ordination
he
should be dismissed from the asylum. This proposal
gave him one year of fair trial under the rules and regu.h3B
t
tions of the asylum, with christian instruction from toe
Superintendent every day, and a bare subsistence,
amounting to a bribe, to bring him in and yet respectable'
such as a christian man should offer a fellowecreature.,6
Having been allowed one year of such probation, if.°
desired baptism himself and the members of the exeen°;
ing committee (Rho in most cases wonld be experience,:
ministers of the Established Church) judged him snific4
ently qualified then he would be btised; but if not.through incapacity, or any remainir;g prejudice,or throul

judged unfit or incompetent by the examining conim"ri
then they had discharged a christian duty towards tutee

into it; it must be only passing through. A 90.esti:d,
might arise as to the propriety of the period mentl°l''

might prefer 6 months, others 18 months. He had said, Is

continued in the asylum if he conformed to the rules $13;„
mate for any period not exceeding set months after bild
baptism ; and at the expiration of six months he sh°fbe
f
asylum, the committee presenting him with any 511""ne
dient. Here again an important principle was ineolveu;
He did not pretend to specify these plans asthe very involves;
that combined wisdom could draw up ; he had drawnthetila
up in the hope that something would be arrived at, tona
prudently determined upon, whereby this long agite
question might, through an honest endeavour to mar'.
beginning, come at last to a prosperous terminatle'
(Hear.) Some might think that six months after bePt,iB";
was too short a period to allow the converted Jew; but h
thought if after his baptism he was retained for six
months, kept in the institution for that time, and I°-
structed diligently (as he would be every day) in the Plc;
ticulars of the Christian religion, the kind friends of to
l
society wherever the asylum was situate, knowing P„
circumstances, would in -the meantime make some inl,;
rest for him, speak to persons connected with the town ::,
neighbourhood, who would in all probability give 11,1
some labour when he came forth from the asylum ;
if he were then indeed a sincere ( hristian, as be sv°u'•
profess to be, he would not be allowed to be cleat!'
tute. (Hear, hear.) And if he were, we could ono
hope that God would make some blessing arise to him °lf
of it. In this way a tangible proposal as to the mode.°
expending a separate fund might be laid before the public,
and he was strong in the conviction that if a worse pro-
posal of the sort were made, it would be respondediit°,
and that a separate fund would not be a failure.
would venture to propose further, that no baptised J.
dismissed from the asylum should be eligible for reaclaZ
sion at any time sooner that twelve months from `
date of his dismissal. He might, then, be taken sr,,,i
""
ce
trial again by the Examining Committee. He 'nigh,'
them have come to a better mind. And, also, that if any
inmate of the asylum refused compliance with the rules'
or in any other respects conducted himself in a disorder,4
or improper manner, the superintendent shall imenedietr.4
report him to the committee; but no inmate shall be 9,15,:t
missed without an order of the committee. This was w" "„t
he had ventured to suggest, in a very brief and impale'
manner, in order to make a beginning of something
gible and practical in this great matter—(hear, hear)
and we know not any part of the kingdom where le
might more gracefully emanate from than from the tow!!
of Liverpool. (Cheers.) We were not the metropolis,
was true, but we had shown the metropolis an example
before now ; and he was happy to be able to say that ifc
are going within a few days to follow a good examel°
shown us by the metropolis. We were first upon teed
point of getting. a Sailors' Home. (Cheers.) The lan
had been given, and a meeting had been called for Fridsf
next, with his Worship the Mayor in the chair, to take
proceedings fora Sailors' Home for Liverpool. (Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. BROCK, of Bath, moved the next resolu-
tion, which congratulated the members of the society upon
the gradual diminution of prejudice amongst the Jews,
both upon the Continent and in Palestine, as proved be,
their general readiness to receive christian instruction'
In supporting this resolution the rev. gentleman gave an
interesting narrative of a native from the foot of Mount
Arrarat, who had recently visited this country to obtain
funds to release his children, who had been seized for
some taxes due to the monarch of Persia. This man wag
a Nestorian christian, but without participating in the
errors of Nestorius, and from his conversation and state-
ments it was evident that christianity was making progress
among the Jews in those regions. The entire progress of
the cause, indeed, was such as to call upon all who loved
Christ to further it by their means and their prayers.
The Rev. J. J. REYNOLDS seconded the resolution, in
a very able speech, in the course of which he gave a vs'
riety of elaborate details of the success which has attended,
the efforts of the society's agents and missionaries, mostet
which will be found in the publications periodically mecl.e•
A collection was made at this period, during which tor
beautiful hymn of " Crown Him Lord of all" was sung,ln
tremendous chorus by the vast assembly.

The Rev. WILLIAM FREEMANTLE proposed tee
resolution ; and after some general observations upon the
e
excellence of the cause, and replying to certain objectio,oo
which are occasionally urged against it by persons cc°,
are disposed to cavil, lie narrated a few circumstance;
connected with a visit he made to Palestine about ftrt
years ago. Many persons he remarked wished to visit
that country ; but he strongly recommended all such
to go there but with the bible in their hands.
The Rev. Monies NOLAN said the office of seconclil
a resolution at that late hour was merely nominal; b°„4l
was a suitable close to an evening so spent to reconitne'et
and urge the people to earnest prayer for Gods holy ale,',"a
—the first breath of spiritual life, the soul of a conver';d
sinner, the secret energys that put into our mind eg°.t,
desires and enab:ed us to bring them to eood effe' •
Let us pray then for the peace of 'Jertesaler°li
and, said I e, may the God of Abraham realize to yaus,bBo
abundantly his gracious promise, " Blessed is be
bleseeth thee."
The Doxology was then sung, and the proceedllls
closed about ten o'clock.
