within the pale of the church, so long would the fair portion,
remain to the flock, and the refreshing waters of salvation floe
around them. Let them, therefore, pray to God, whose tr'

therefore, give a barren vote on this occasion, but mus,
speak well of the society wherever they went, and
pray to God for his blessing upon it. He would say a word
with reference to the contributions to the society, and was
reminded of an apt but somewhat quaint saying, first " Make
all you can ;" secondly, " Save all you can.;" (both of which
were good precepts)—and thirdly, " Give all you can,"
which he hoped they would on this occasion. Before he sat
down lie begged to allude briefly to what had fallen from
their respected friend, Mr. Pollock, with reference to the
non-attendance of certain of their brethren in the ministry.
He assured them from that gentleman that on looking round
and seeing what he conceived to be a paucity of attendance
at the meeting of reverend gentlemen, lie had made some
remarks, no doubt in the zeal of the moment, but that he did
not purpose them to apply to particular individuals, and least
of all to that brother in whose behalf, in the domestic afflic-
tion that pressed upon him, their warmest sympathies were
engaged. As they felt the grace of God operating on them-
selves, so ought they so to labour as to be the means of ex-
tending it to others. if they thus clung to the church, they
would go on conquering and to conquer, and the dew of
God's blessing would descend upon their labours, and crown
them with success.

The CHAIRMAN here intimated that it was now time the
meeting should be brought to a close. Any slight cloud of
difference that had arisen between some of the speakers was,
he felt convinced, the result merely of individual zeal for the
welfare of the society, and was worthy of consideration only
inasmuch as it evinced this individual anxiety for the success
of the society, and their ardent attachment to the church.
The church Was the parent, and it was a pleasing reflection
that the child had been enabled to, assist the parent in the
hour of need.
Mr. ADAM H ODGSON proposed a motion of cordial thanks
from the meeting to their worthy friend the chairman for
his kindness on this and on former occasions, which, he fi
assured, would be met in feeling the most cordial by
