LANBERTyILLE, Dec. 9, 1878.
DEAR BRETHREN I'VE have again reason
to be thankful that God has given as his bless
ing during the past year. While the work
has been quiet, We think that it has been sub
stantial, that good has been accomplished and
great encoutag ement given as to labor more
earnestly and with more faith in the future
During the Spring, number of interesting
lectures were given, and these we expected to
resume early in the Fall, but a series of disap-
pointments from persons whom we hoped to
secure, have so far rendered it impossible.
In April, Gospel Meetings were held in Ly-
ceum Hall, for the benefit of young men, and
good impression seemed to be made on some
whom we particularly wished to reach. The
meetings lasted for six days, and the Associa-
Swan, of Stockton johnson, of New Hope
Roberts, of Solebury Hoes, of Mount Holly /;
and by the pastors of this city.
From May to the last of November a Sum-
day School has been conducted in the Mount
Range school house, of which Mr.. Warren A.
Greene has been Superintendent. The par
ticulars of this win be given by Mr.. Greene in
special report.
For six weeks in October and November,
Gospel Meetings were held in the Mt. Range
school house, and were attended by rich
blessing The interest seemed to be deep,
and several were brought to confess Christ
among them some who had been attendants
on the Sabbath School A special report will
also be given of this work by Mr.. James Pc
trie.
We have made arrangements with the diff
ferent hotels to assist in taking care of any
strangers who may be taken sick while stay
ing here.
1t will be noticed by the Treasurer's report
that the Association contributed the sum of
$53. 10 to assist the sufferers from yellow fever
in the South. The greater part of this was
given for the purpose by the young men in
some of our manufactures.
Your Committee would recommend that
the dues for full members be reduced from
one dollar to fifty cents. Also, that such part
of the money which may be raised for the
coming year as the Executive Committee may
deem advisable, be appropriated for the ex-
penses of good course of lectures.
Respectfully submitted,
A. WEIGH, JR.,
Chairman.
The Committee on Sunday School Work,
reported as follows
The Sabbath School at Mount Range School
House was commenced under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association of
Lambertville, in May, 1878, and placed in
charge of Messrs. Levi Brown and Warren A.
Greene. The report of membership is as fol-
lows Officers and teachers-12, (six of
them females scholars--35 total-47. The
average attendance has been, officers and
teachers-7 scholars-2t ; total--28. Owing
to the scattered population, the attendance
has varied considerably, the largest at any
one time being al. The International Lesson
"apers have been used by the older classes in
- ss,dies, and copies of the Sunday School
I VIZ f, thly) have been furnished TO the
teachers, and Ca -e 0'''~ '" N'o'n'-
monthly to the schoiars ...!..a - A..
The school has been we,l sus'auleu "nu sno
frequent attendance of Wis., averaging
six every Sabbath through the se.sss''h aIeesas
the interest felt by those living in tn. .;al
ty. 1t is an encouraging fact that the spe,."'
meetings held in October and November were ,
largely attended by members of the school |
and upon them the deepest impression SEEM
ed to have been made. Three professed to
have found the Saviour and expressed their
determination to lead Christian lives, and the
influence of the meetings, we have every
reason to believe, will be abiding on others
The school closed its sessions Nov. gath, it
being deemed advisable not to continue it
through the Winter, the unfavorable con-
diton of the roads, and the distance at which
many of the pupils live, rendering regular at
tendance impracticable.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year
President--W. A. Greene.
Vice-Prest. H. Horn.
ecrotary-Joseph Brown.
reasurer-Clark Pierson.
Executive Committee-W. F. Herr, A.
