NOTICES..
|THE BARRE ASSOCIATION will
meet at Topsham, on the 81 Wednesday
of September.
FAIRFIELD ASSOCIATION.


The churches composing this Associa-
tion are hereby reminded that their next
anniversary is to be boIden at Enosburgh
Falls, to commence On the 81 Wednesday
in September, at 10 o'clock A. Nj.
1t may not be improper also to remind
the churches, Of several resolutions which
were passed at the Association last year,
touching their pccuniary operations for be-
nevolent purposes. At our last session
we resolved that we felt it our duty, the
present year, TO raise and pay into the
Convention 400 dollars for benevolent pur-
poses; (which would be more than 40
cents on each member,) and appointed
Trustees, as collectors to receive and for
ward collections TO the Treasurer of the
Association. How far the Trustees and
churches have done their duty in this res
pect, is best known to themselves We
hope that the Trustees will each of them
look to this matter, and where any reniss-
ness may have occurred endeavor speedily
to correct it. Probabl y there never was a
time when every department of benevo-
lent operations were In more pressing need
Of vigorous and speedy aid-never a time
when the supply was so much less than
the demand.
We resolved also TO make vigorous ef-
forts to raise at least 10 cents on a MEM
Der for our Education Society; and to take
efficient measures to procure tracts for cir
culation in this region. Let brethren and
sisters prayerfuIly consider these things
and act accordingly. An agent of the Bap.
