JURLY HELSON, on belng oalled npon, staled that ho could not tho iden of prosching each Sunday onco on tho North and enco on_tho \West 8ido wag very ac- coptable to Mr. Collyer, and would bo proforrod by bim tolocturing, which thoy all kaow ho had ‘bora obliged to do. They all Joved Mr. Collyer <4 much a8 any minister ought to bo loved, and +now thoy were in danger ot losing him,—not by ” death, which thoy could bear, but by divoree, which wag more than thoy could stand. With regard to thoso who wore eecking to sover tho connection of thoir ehurch and pasior, ha would eay sthat Now York Meusiab Church, onco & pros- l)oraun, WAS oW 0 very weakl concert, sud they ooked to Mr. Collyer us s nioans of DBETTERING IT0 FINANCIAL CONDITION. Their strongost reagon in urging the sccoptanco of _the invitation was_that Mr. Collyer, in tho wider sphere of New York, could do much more good to Christinnity than hero. ‘Lhat sounded very woli, but tho speaker looked at it in a dif- forent light. ‘Lheir nest in Now Yorl was cold, and the eggs woro addled, and thoy hoped that Mr, Collyer would DLo ablo te infuso now _warmth into _it. Ho would say that it was impossible for them to pgob Dir. Collyor, MMy, Collyer might go thero, and they might bo plonsed with the intellectual treat “provided for thom, but hocould nover ho to thon what he was to his congrogation in Chicago. All tho New Yorkews counld hoar would bs hig ser- mon, but boro ba was at onco pastor, friend, and gnida to his congregation, Ho hnd 'become one of them,—had baptized their children, marriod tlieir yonung men and maidens, buried their deoad, etood with them when the fiery furnnce involved thom inacommon min, and with them had -helped to rebuild their ruined church. Theuss ~wero thingy which Mr. Collyer could not carty with him to Now York., Tho question wis— 1IOW COULD IDaul KEYT ? How couwld thoy do botter than they Lnd beon doing? Thers were n nuni- ber of little ihiugs that conld bo done. Nr. Collyor thought that his peopla 8id not caro for bim,—that thoy regarded him us too old for thom, This wns a mniatake on his part. No ono of them loolked upon him a8 tcoold. Ontha coutrary, without oxception, they felt that no mau could begin, even with his qualifications, to £ill his ptace until ho bad lived fiitcen or twenty yoars in their midst. Mo be sure, tho senso of novelty wea gong, but 8o il hes witia their wives. ‘Whea a youuy mun married bo lavished terms of endearment upon tho young wifo which when ho grew old, and the novelty had worn off, ho did not so frequently indulge in, yat no one would gay thore was less of love between tho aged couple, with whom the first blueh of love hud given place to a mutual frith and senso of nfiec- tion which called for no such ontward demon- strations. Mr. Collyer, howover, was of zu intonsoly sympathetic nature, Ho gavo, and required to rocelve in roturn, much sympnthy, 'I'ho congro- gation must, in the futwe, show themaclves SYMPATHETIO IN THOUGHT, 1t \YORD, AKD 1N DEED, Esgpecially in tho Iast kind of sympathy, of which they hod afforded him very littlo, Thoy shoukl bo intorosted in the chutch, and it they did not feol 80 should act 6o, and then the feoling would isaon arisa. ‘Lhey woro not quite so Jiboral with thoir money as thoy might Le, This was a | griovous charge, and its neconsity ought to ho romoved., Tho epeaker folt cortain that if j Mr. Collyer becamo satistiod thay his congresn- tion wanted him to stay no rope was strong ! enough to drag him from mmovg thom, It way ; nlbflifl-hcr too lato for him to go to Now York : and begin again tho work that o had done liore, { It was not for the congrogation to drivo n bar- gain with r. Collyer, bus to go to him uud eny that they wanted him Lo stay, and that thoy would make it all right. IR, SHONEY, The meeting was then formally oponed by Alr, D. L. Bhorey in the chgir. IIu stated that tho moeting was called in » somowhat difforent prin- : ciplo from that of last Tuesdny ovening, Ulnt forboar to tako advantago of nu opportunity to gay nword of Liobort Collyor, o camo tothe meeting an & cilizen, and ho was suro that, hud tho meoting beon botter advertized, tho church would have: beon filled. T'horo was np doubt thet but very fow pooplo knew tho extent to which the negotiations tor Mr. Collyer's removal had boon cariied on, ‘Cho donominational nspoot of tho caso might bo dismissed, but tho tax- payora of the city would nee to it that 3r. Coll- yer was not perinitled lo leave tho citv. Ilo would talk just as it he hed Robert by tho but- ton-hole. ‘T'horo was greater missionary work in tho futuro boforo Mr, Collycr ilan whit ho had accomplishod within the past fiftcon years.

MRS, LUCRTIA MOTT, on bohalf of tho Iadies, epoke eloquenily in nraige of Mr. Collyer. &he kuow that he had the liemt of npastor. He had been tho friond, counselor, and ingtructor of the women of tho congregation, There woro thonsands of women in Chicago who loved him as 2 pastor, Sho had kuown AMr. Collyor for many vears, and had heon strengthened aud helped by him, o3 niany others had eon.
