opposition . We must honour him who firm 1-y-and- e a-1 m-l-y—p&rsis ts-m-effecUing noble purposes in defiance of difficulty—who never despairs of the cause of truth and man—who , though he cannot command success , continues to do his duty , confiding- the result to that wise and beneficent
Power , who is conducting all things to a benevolent and sublime issue . ' The Resolution was received . witl \ , acclamation . Thanks were then given to the Chairman , for the ad- ' mirable manner in which he had presided , and , at ten o ' clock , the Rev . Henry Clarke concluded with . prayer .

manner in which he discharged the ~ d ; uty _ Qf-p £ e . sidj ^^ proposed and the subjects discussed included some of the important points of doctrine on which we differ from the majority of our fellow-Christians ^ but charity and goodwill ta others
were by no means forgotten in zeal for the truth . If governments in all ages and countries had acted upon the spirit of one of the sentiments proposed during the course of the evening , well vyoulcjL it have been for human happiness , which has been greatly injured by the severance of the

Saint from Is . lxiii . \ 6—* Doubtless , thou art our Father , ' &e . From these words the preacher delivered an excellent discourse on the paternity of the divine character . Mr .
