- The "Rm .: | ^ fly ^ ock , of , Waiv rington , acj ^ ow le dggd : the cqmplir ment £ aid ig > luinsjsjf aiid friends . He had on former occasions re * ceived much pleasure from a visit to one of the meetings of the Association , but he had never been so highly gratified as he had been with
the proceedings of that day . Where there existed such a friendly spirit —such a pleasing emulation to do good as prevailed amongst all who had taken a part on that occasion , * it was obvious that nothing J > ut advantage could arise from such social intercourse , He hoped the Association would long- continue in a career of usefulness .
The Chairman had one more toast to ¦ propdse before they ; parted . It was one which He was siire tliey would receive with an expression of approbation , because it included the name of an individual whom some present had long known , and known only to honour ^ and -whom—none had known , even for a short period , without entertaining for him mingled feelings of affection and respect .
Hie ; worth was not confined to his own flockj although among them it was most frequently exercised , but it was felt and appreciated throughout the district . If feelings akin to melancholy forced themselves upon the ; mind , in connexion with on $ whose life was so valuable and so endeared to ; us , it was only be ^ cause a lingering complaint had for
some time impaired that health which we so ardently wished to see re-established . The appearances of convalescence would , he hoped , be con ? firmed , and again enable him , whom they , allloplted upon- as -a - counsellor and friend , to enjoy many happy
years in the bosom of his family , and in that pastoral connexion which had fyeen productive of so mpcji mutual happiness . The Chairman coneluded by proposing ' the improved health of the Bev . B . R . J ) avies , and the health of his congregation , with thanks tp them , for the use of their
chapel , and for theif kind attentions ; throughout the day . ? The Rev . B . R . Davies could not be insensible to the kind tone of the Chairman ' s observations respecting himself . He had some time ago felt as if his dayswere numbered , and he had made up his mind to leave these scenes for ever . But since
then , it had pleased Grod to restore him , in some degree , to health ; and should his restoration be complete , one part of the happiness of the residue of his life would be to see those friends who now surrounded him renewing their visit to Chowbent , and assembling , with himself and friends , to promote the cause of Christian truth and holiness .
The Spring Meeting of the Association was announced to take place at Ghorley on the last Thursday in April of the ensuing year , on which occasion the Rev . F . Howorth , and the Rev . F . Knowles are expected to conducfrthe services ^

At the request of two or three influential individuals , a meeting was called at the General Baptist chapel here , on Sunday , October 7 , to take into consideration the propriety of re-establishing our Sunday School , which had been discontinued some months on account of the scarcity of funds to suPDortit . Itwas agreed
to raise a boys' school immediately , and a girls' school in the ensuing spring ; and Messrs . Cade , Ellerbeck , Hooker , Booth , and Parsons were appointed teachers . On Sunday last another meeting was held , to raise a—subscription - for - supporting it , when subscriptions and donations to
the amount of 4 > l . 4 s . were received by the secretary . We intend opening on Sunday , the 28 th inst ., and expect about twenty boys to begin with . As we are at a loss for a catechism in unison with our tenets , perhaps you or one of your corre * epondents will inform us whether
