Nothing was 80 caloulatod to demoral- 1zo thom a8 delay in taking such action, and ho hoped, for tho peaco, comfort, and prospority of tha congrogation, that o deciston would bo at onca como to. Tho Committeco wos at its Ingt sesion moro disunited than at tho outsot, and he almost feared that thoy would never reach a point of union.

"I'ho question was then put, and the first part of the rosolution was declared adopted by n voto of 86 in tho aflitmative and 4 in the negativo, THE REMAINDER OF THE RESOLUTION was then adopted unanimously,—n substitute by Mr. Tylor, looking to the approprintion of tho whole proceeds of tho salo of tho old churche proporty instead of half, na in tho rosolution, Doing voted down. ‘Tlse meoting thon adjonrned, — THE COUNTRY FRIEND AHEAD.
