Mr.. James B. Tippett. Secreta-
ry of the committee, then read sew
eral combinations from enterprises,
looking toward this place for loca-
ton, giving their monthly pay
rolls, &c. The report was adopted
and the committee cont2aued with
full power to act until Board of
Trade was fully organized.
The nature of the enterprises
would be here given, and the con-
tents of the correspondence pub
lished, but it was deemed better
not to- disclose these matters and
make them public until after the
charter had been granted, and the
Board of Trade fully organized for
active work.
On motion adjourned to meet at
call committee.
The protracted meeting at the
Nj. e. Church, South, came to a
close last night, after four weeks of
earnest labor. Rev. Donahoe GER

those who failed to take advantage
of the opportunities and are with

words and pleadings of this most
noble man in his efforts to save
souls, as they travel through this
dark world, for there can be moth
ing but darkness without God and
his love.

I give thee up" shows the interest
this Reyerned gentleman had in
the welfare Of those who are with
out the light to guide them to the
throne of heavenly grace, and we
are truly sorry that there are SO
many that he has to give up, for
their hearts are hardened and they
will serve satan and sin, rather than
enjoy the rich blessings of an eter-
nal life and be in communion with
their God. But as time rolls on
and the messenger of death comes
to call for them, they will then
think of the grand opportunities
they have cast aside, for no one
