of the Fund , requesting them to send such deputations as they might deem proper to the several towns in Ire' TanaX ' ancftfi ^ body should be instructed to assist the deputations in obtaining subscriptions .
The Synod then proceeded to pass several overtures of considerable importance ; and we regret that our space will not permit us to give eyen a brief outline of the eloquent speeches , fraught with the most useful instruction , delivered by the movers and seconders , on introducing those overtures to the notice of the

The object of the second was , to appoint Sunday , the 16 th day of September next , as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God , for the great blessings which this Synod have experienced at His hand , The third overture recommended to the

The thanks of the Synod were then voted to Mr . Joseph Glenny , of Newry , and to Messrs . Alexander and John Montgomery , of Belfast , for their kindness in devoting their time and professional labours to the cause of the Remonstrants in their
difficulties ; and , also , to the Rev . James Davis , and the respectable inhabitants of Banbridge , and its neighbourhood , for the . attention which the Remonstrants had received at their hands during their sittings . The Synod concluded . with prayer . — ( Bible Christian ) .
