The discussions were all strictly to the
point, and creditably delivered, in which
the speakers seemed to throw their whole
souls, and seemed to become more and more
filed with enthusiasm. The speaking was
greatly enjoyed by the audience, which
seemed not to tire of the length of time oc-
cupied by same.
On one very important subject, rela ting to
n,,>1. al.
and cutting, and to the point, but approved
and enjoyed by all church-loving people.
There was an essay read on, "Should
church members engage in worldly amuse-
ments," which was capital, and did great
credit to the writer, Rev. j. II. Couch.
At this meeting there was two amend
mcnts offered to the Constitution, and ac-
ccptcd, which were
1st. That all the business he completed
on Fridays and Saturdays, and Sunday be
devoted exclusively to the hearing and teach
ing of Gods word.
I'd. That all Supcrintcndents be held as
delegates cX-officio, and the other required
number he taken from the other members.
Ii was the intention, frs, 70 have prruCf-
ing every night while in session, but on Sat
urday, seeing they were so pressed with bust
ness, it was deemed necessary to have an

very intere atng svtmon from 1st John, 4
16.
Sunday tnc Missionary sermon was
preached by Rev. j. II. Couch, from Matt.

tcd So 81, and the amount expended for
other purposes, during the quarter, Sl7 GO,
makes the amounts contributed by the
schools, $40 81.
1t was decided to have the next meeting
at Mt. JOY Church, Kclton, on Friday, be-
fore the 9th Sunday in December.
After unanimous vote of thanks was cX-
tended to Union Church, and the town of
Union, for the open generosity and hospi-
tality, with which the Convention was re-
ccived and entertained during its session,
the choir sang that most enjoyable hymn,
God be with you till we meet again." the
