a sermon suitable to the occasion was delivered bv Mr . Cree . On both occasions attentive audiences were - gratified by the services of the preachers .
The usual business was despatched at the close of the morning service , J . Baker , Esq ., in the chair ; when thanks were voted to the Rev . S . Walker for his very excellent discourse , and to the other gentlemen who had assisted in the service . It was determined that the next
meeting should take place at Bridport on Good Friday , 1833 ; and that Mr . Jenkins should be invited to preach . The dinner , at which Mr . S . Sparks presided , was not very numerously attended . It was , however , an agreeable , and not an unprofitable meeting . The members were urged to more active exertions by Mr . Whitfield and Mr , Walker in the '
course of the afternoon ; and the following minute was proposed by the latter , to be submitted to the members of tlie association , and answered , by them at their next meeting-, —What will give increasing in-. terest and usefulness to the association ?
