The l74th hymn was sung, after which the Rev.
JOHN SMITZER Of Oneida, Secretary of the State Mis-
sionaTy Convention, introduced. He preached the
missionary from the text in Philippians 2 xvi:
" Holding forth the Word of Life"
The preacher referred TO the cheerfulness of light
it's contrast with darkness-the necessity of light TO
animal and vegetable life. When night falls upon the
earth the city lights up its lamps and the traveller holds
forth his lamp 10 light up his path before him.
Believers in Christ are among the nations who sit in
darkness and required in all their relations TO set
forth the excellence OF Christianity. True religion is
the word Of life. In the family in the Church. in
business relations our influence will be great for good
or evil
The speaker related number Of instances in which
Christian fidelity had been rewarded. He nembered
little girl in his Church years ago who desired TO say
a word in a social meeting She had just been baptized,
and her heart was OVERLOOKING with love to Christ.
She inquired, go, who cannot love Jesus, who loved
us much as TO come from Heaven, and die to save
usl" This repeated till the people were melted,
and four aged unbeeving yielded to the claims OF
the Savior.
The preacher urged that enlarged aid be rendered to
the State Mission. There were hundreds Of feeble
churches that needed immediate assistance. Ten thou
sand dollars had been expended the field during the
year.
A collection was taken up for Domestic Missions.
