at l2 o'clock Saturday, repaired to the residence
OF Mrs. Murray, a few doors from the New
Jerusalem Temple, where a sumptuous cola.
ton was spread for their comfort.
At2 O'Clock the body reassembled, when the
Rev. w IN. II. Hinkley, from the Committee on
Missions, submitted a report, showing The
progress made in the missionary work in the
State of Virginia, and expressing the belief
that the people there were peculiarly inclined
to accept the Sweden borgian doctrine. The
Iahors of missionaries have been very success
ful. and the indications for contip ned increase
OF the membership of the Church of New
Jerusalem were very encouraging.
MIR. +. o. Hlnkley. of Baltimore, spoke upon
the points of the report He urged the i'm.
portancs OF thorough missionary work, but lid
not think the matter would be properly carried
out while only regularly appointed agents
were expected to conduct the same. He was
in favor of every minister OF the church de-
voting a couple OF weeks of his time each year
In delivering missionary sermons whose ex-
penses could be paid by the association. He
concluded by moving the adoption OF the
report
R"v. Mr.. Cabell, of Virginia, expressed his
gratitude at the kind references which had
been made to the Old Comm on wealth, and
seconded the motion to accept the repors.
The report was then accepted

lourns, 1t adjourn 10 meet in the house OF

our families and schools.
Messrs. r. o. Hinkley, of Baltimore, and
Glles. OF New 1crB, seconded the views OF
Rev: Mr. Hinkley, and hoped something would
be done to clearly place the faith of the
Sweden borgians before the country
Rev. Mr Cabell followed on the same side.
The faith OF his church vas entirely misun-
derstood and misrepre sented. and every step
should be taken to procure the early publlca.
tion OF such work as would faithfully reflect
it's views. He thought it should be emphati-
caliy denied that the Swedenberglans were
spiritualists, and thatl should also be most
emphatically denied that they had ignored
any portion of the Scriptures.

Hinkley continued the discussion at some
length, after which the subject was dropped.
