A communication from ministers and members Of
the Society located in Boston and vicinity was pre-
sented by the Rev. H. LINCOLN Of Massachusetts,
suggesting the removal of the Society from Nassau-s
New-York, as being the most expedient and proper
course 10 produce peace and c0nchation. Fify-hree

lutons in favor of purchasing erecting suitable
building for the Home Mission Society ade-
ouae funds can be procured provided that debt be
incurred beyond half the value of such building, which
ahn not exceed $40 OO0 and that the Executive Board
he requested 10 move into such building when ready
for occupation. The Committee recommended that
the subject be referred to Committee to report at the
next ANIMAL meeting.

cussed.

tempting TO purchase plot of ground aud building
portion of the City of New-York.

position could be obtained below Broome-st. 70
$4,000. A large house might be built at forhyie
for that amount but that was rather too far uptown

importance of the subject, there WAS danger of a
spft in the Society if a removal was not effected. He
