the Ice House Hotel, proved nature.
Although all were particularly re-
quested to attend, but FIVE LADIES
we're found at the post of duty. A few
were unable to join us from indisposi-
ton, but we think the majority had no
good excuse; we give one which will
answer for all. "Wherever I go, there
is no one scarcely present, and you can
accomplish every thing without me-"
Thus it is: If the Episcopal Church is
to be rebuilt by Fairs and Tableanx,
we may give up all hope Of ever hay
ing one the bulk Of trouble falls heav-
ily upon few faithful and sealous
spirits, while it should be equally
shared by all who profess to feel an in
terest in rebuilding our Church. ONE
effort should at least be made to OBJ
tain money byncontribution; five are
to commence this. work, there is no
use in, longer delay; the crops are good,
all can give something-those who are
best able ought to give literally, the
poor and the widow can throw in their
mite. a If we never are to have a
Church, let tus no longer neglect to
have a minister = we can always find
some room sufficiently large to hold
our scattered flock. The little money
we, have on hand has been lying idle
long enough "every onen says it
ought to be. cat interest" but where
are those who should attend to this !
The whole body Of gentlemen seem to
have forgotten they ever were enrolled
into a Committee. Our chairman is in
such feeble health, that we have lost
his services. Onr; President, after
waiting an hour on Saturday, for the
members to assemble, in order to re-
sign ION account of impaired hearing
cavern his resignation to the few who
were present and remarked that Hthe
President should be q lady, It is not
well to be, presumptuous, but we think
the whole Committee might just a.
well be composed Of ladies, as even the
Church members among the gentle
men seem TO have deserted us.f lem

A. D, Mccoy, will undertake this Ia,
