 CONCLUSION.
 Without boasting, we can truly say, that the Goshen Church is largely capaciated to be q power in the community of its location, and has, the year past, been highly blessed of God Di vine worship in the Lords House and the Con- ference room, has been, and is well attended. The prayers by the brotherhood are heart felt and tervent.
 To our view, the members of the Church are happily united, and though they express themselves as conscious of having been already divinely favored beyond their deserts, they still hope, and pray, and labor, that sinners may continue to be converted, and that what they have enjoyed by way of welcoming converts to the Church, may only be an earnest of many mere, who shall speedily turn from sin, and pub licly profess Christi
