The divine displeasure against this nation may be read in, First, the threatening aspect of the last spring season. God s hand was visibly lifted up in late frosts, accompanied with wind and drought, to the blasting of the hopes of the husbandman. Life and property and liberty are momentarily jeopardized, notwithstanding the protection impiously pledged by the broad wings of the American eagle. The earth hath yielded her fruits in great abundance. The general health has been unusually good, and all classes of society have been enabled to prosecute their respective callings without interruption from any national calamity of war, sword or pestilence.
Minutes read and approved.
Adjourned to meet in the same place, on the last Monday of May, 1858. Closed with prayer.
