were represented, and in course OF
the meeting, quite fully. Nearly
every part in the programme was car
ried out. Rev. W. d. Williams,
State Missionary, added much to the
interest of the meeting by his pres
ence, also Rev. L. H. Elliot, for the
Bible Society. Delegates to the State
Convention were Rev. w. A. Bushee
and brothers James Holmes and S.
f. Hopkins. Delegates to National
Council at Chicago in October, Rev.
E. Wheelock and S. H. Waters. The
following resolution was passed, viz {:
lnasmuch as in Lamoille County,
churches have contributed recently to
the Vermont Domestic Missionary
Society about one-tenth the amount
of money that had been called for
from the same Society in this County,
therefore Resolved, that we, the rep
resentatives of the churches in the
Conference will use all reasonable eff
fort to secure from our entire church
membership yearly, contribution
that shall average one dollar each.
Also resolutions of thanks to the peo-
pie of Hyde Park, for the entertain
ment that was so amply and admra-
bly, managed, and to the railroads for
their favOrs in reduced fares. The
next meeting was appointed at John
son in one year. The ministers in the
County were all present except Rev.
J. F. Whitney, whose sickness kept
him and his wife from adding to the
full enjoyment of the occasion. Aside
from this, the full delegations from
all the churches, helped to make the
meeting one of peculiar interest.
