A vote was then taken to authorize the
trustees to proceed with further improve
ments, previous to the camp meeting of
lCtD az ttcl lbt tANtStlib -DOO. III az
cOrdance with such vote the trustees have
cut new road farther from the stand to
give more room and save annoyance during
service hours, and have erected cottage
tor the presiding elder, besides doing some
other work the bills for which will be pre-
scented at the next meeting of the board.
To meet these bills and the expenses Of the
meeting the board rely partly on the usual
sources of revenue from rents sales of
stock etc., and hope for the same degree of
lberalty in public collections at this meet
ing to make up the balance and again bring
the ASSOCIATION above all debt, at the close
of this meeting with all its added improve
ments and increased value of its property.
To ensure this desirable result however, it
will be necessary that the same spirit of
lberaliiy shown in former years should be
continued. Your directors again COngrat-
ulate themselves and the association in
view of the harmony OF feeling which has
hitherto prevailed in our business manage
ment and hoping for forbearance for any
imperfectons of the past. We offer for
your approval this 9Th annual report.
The report was accepted.

SERMON BY REV. wM. G. LEONARD.
Rev. w. G. Leonard of Boston, Mass.
hen preached from Luke Mi, 80.
'Behold stand at the door: If any man hear
my voice and open the door, l will come In TO
him and VIII sup with him and he with me"
Did you expect any one to call
He says, / stand at the door and knock.
There he is, expected or unexpected neigh
Dor or stranger, debtor or creditor, friend
or foe. How many your thoughts while
preparing to receive him and opening the
door, Is he tramp or an old acquain-
lance? murderer or a protector? Has he
come with news of loss, as the messenger
to Lot, or like one to manyf "The master
is come and calleth for thee" Does he
bring good news or sad? Do you mean to
unbOlt the door or are you lnulHeTent OF
fearful? Will you send the servant to say
mot at homer" viii you send word pre-
engaged? He is still knocking. Who is
knocking In Matthew he is called the Son
of God. All this and much more is he
who stands at the door and knocks, not
literally at our room door, but actually at
our heart door. Have you ever seen your
heart door? When you see 1t you will see
him.
He stands by the spirit and knocks.
Why? for loves sake. There's no account
ing for love worthy or unworthy may be
the object yet love follows. The mother
follows the hayward son or besotted hus-
band no one can see why. He commends
his love by knocking at rebels doors. God
SO loved the world that he gave his son to
die for US. Not for his benefit does he
finger. His Jesus heart yoarns for
you. The speaker closed with an earnest
exhortation to all TO open their hearts and
let the Saviour in.
Rev. j. M. Edgerton of Vergennes fol-
lowed with an exhortation on the same sub
ject and the exercises closed with brief
but interesting prayer meeting.
