It is expected he will preach on that day, and full at tendance of the society is earnestly hoped for. Now if the officers of the church will take hold, as they should, and be a help instead of hinderance, and try to assist rather than discourage the presiding elder, there can, as there ought to be, preaching here during the year ensuing.
