    a $ m the h 6 ur of prosperity , has manifested the influence of Christian prfntipfe , —if there be one present whose * hoary head is a crown of glortfi~—l am persuaded that you will fee ! great sads ^ faction in joining in a testimony of ^ affectionate respect to him : I therefore propose the health of the Rev . Dr .

    Toulmln . * ' The minds of all present must have been benefited by the honour thus paid to Christian worth- The appeal was received with the liveliest sympathy : every one rose up ; and the hearts of all were affected . Only one could have a single painful emotion at that time : and when he rose to express his thanks , ' it was obvious that the feelings of the moment were not unmixed . His words

    Were few , and those but partially heard ; but the , picture of the aged Christian must be indelibly impressed upon the memory of every one then present . It was indeed a most interesting scerie ; aipd we hope for his forgiveness in endeavouring to convey some faint idea of it to absent friends .

    Jn the evening , Dr . Toulmin conducted the devotional service , and Dr . Carpenter delivered a discourse from i Pet . u & . ci Whom not having seen , ye love ;" the object- of which was to prbve , that the love of Christ is a natural and rea . sonabJe affection . "

    * yhus the whole of the day , ' * to adopt the close of another account , " was spent in cheerfulness and harftiopy , —in the indulgence of the feelings of zeal arid charity ; and , it is humbly trusted , in sincere devotion and mutual edification in Christian truth and virtue .
