ported in this paper We're discussed free
ly, with Il great deal of interest, and,
we hope, profit to those present. There
Were two properly business sessions held,

afternoon, and although they were not
as well attended as would have been
desired yet we think an interest was
created in behalf Of the Sabbath school
cause. The little plant may yet grow to
be great tree, under whose branches
the fowls of the air shall take shelter.
