Mr. 0. C. Wight, president of the congregation, presided, with Mr. F. B. Dalrymple as clerk. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, Prof. BE. M. Gallaudet, from the of trustees, said | they had called the meeting to lay before the congregation the condition of the church, and suggested that the committee on the eburch debt make a statement. The treasurer, Mr. Thexlore F. Sargent, read a report showing that the estimated de-~ ficit in the revenues of the church at the end | of the present quarter, (ending June 30th neXt.) is $1,058.30. Mr. John B. Wight, from the committee on the chureh debt, read a statement showing that the funced debt of the ehureh is 2.700. Mr. Cordial Storrs moved that the commit- tee on the debt pay the $500 collected on vol- untary subseriptions, and the fuoded debt as soon as they can raise the required amount, which motion was adopted. | Prof. Gallaudet, one of th | the congregation had in the t # plain and comprehensive statement of | fi: aneial condition of theeburch. He won'd make no reference to the past; the fact that the ehureh is in this cond The trustees had found their res; onsibility | too heavy to bear, and did not fel author- ized to carry it longer without advising with the congregation. The defeiency in June next will be $1,100 or $1 . Repairs of the | church and other expenses will be necessary in the meantime, and the trustees them- | selves estimate the total deficiency on the | 30th of June at $1,500, The yearly revenues of the church do not exceed £4.000; the ex- penses, allowing for necessary repairs, &c., Amount to about £6,000. Four months of the ar have passed, and the chureh has for the remaining eight months a deficit of $2,000 to | overcome; in fact, the deficit will probably reach £2,500, instead of $2,000. The trustees felt that this state of affairs should be male known To the con: tion; and there could | be no question that the latter would be un- | Wise to allow this state of things to continue. | arer, Mr. Sargent, stated that the estimate of the de- | ficieney was based on the supposition that all arrears for pew rent would be paid. A letter from six young ladies of the rch was read by the clerk regrettin: the embarrassed condition of the church, and -_— with the choir and organist. They further } Said that ¢ f their number could play on the organ if necessary, and thus save the ex- | pense ofa hired organist In coneiusion they said they did not consider the pastor's salary as among the unnecessary expenses, and | hoped it would not be deemed proper fo re- | duce it. Elder Patch hated to sce the pastor's sal- | ary redineed. but the work of retrenchment must begin. If the salary of the pastor was | reduced the expenses of the choir must also be diminishetl. Professor Gallaudet said as painfal as it stohim to do so,he felt imp se of duty to move that on and Ist next the pastor's salary be at the rate i] ,or the same as it was w: to the church. (The preseat pastor is $3,600 per annum.) R. Milbu (to voce.—*Make it Professor Gallaudet said if his motion p\ | vailed it would reduce the salary of the y tor this year about $1,100, or about one-half ficit the church had to meet.

Mr. Harvey Fowler remembered the time | when the debt of the chureh wa 1000, ane | et they got through that embarrassment all Tig stor be reduced to esof the ch s the organ } it $500 and the =éo@ per year.) At the suggestion of Prof allandet he amended his resolution by | Striking out that partof it relative to eboir. Prof. Gallaudet said he must oppose Elder Frost's motion, because it was retroactive, and the church had po right to reduce the salary of the pastor for the four months, of the year he had already served. He pr posed to reduce the pastor's salary $1,000, while Elder Frost proposed to reduce itabout 800. Elder Patch thought the proposed redue- tion of Trnstee Gallaudet was too large. The church for a number of years past had always had asmal) yearly deficit to make up. The ladies intended to hold a festival from which probably some $500 or 800 would be realized. He certainly could not vote for Prof. Gallaudet’s proposition. It had a bad look, and he hoped the congregation would not sustain it. Ex-treasurer E.G. Charch doubted, as the pastor was paid by the year,whether the con- gregation had the right to reduce his salary for IsT5. Elder Patch react an extract froma letter written by Rev. Dr. Sunderland saying that in the present embarrassed condition of the | church he would cheerfully acquiesce in any | reduction of bis salary that might be thought | proper, and that the congregation onght to Bave no delicacy about the matter. He fully | appreciated the difficulties under which the | eburch labored, and would gladly unite with them in overcoming them. Mr. Cordial Storrs offered as a substitute & motion that the pastor's salary be $200 per | month from May Ist until otherwise ordered by the congregation, and subsequently amended it by providing for a committee to m thepastor and inform him of their Mr. Storrs’ substitute was lost, the vote standing 14 ayes and 14 noes. vote of 12 ayes to about 20 noes.

The chair was about to put this motion when Prof. Gallaudet raised the point that | it bad not been seconded. | Mr. Champiin inquired of the chair whether it would be in order to receive an | unlimited number ef amendments. | The chair thought all amendments offered in good faith must be entertained, and finally put the question to the congregation and he | Was sustained. The question recurring on | Mr. Fowler's amendment it was put and carried by a vote of ayes, 18; noes, Il. The resolution of Prof. Gallaudet, as amended by Mr to | Elder Patch read another extract from the letter of Dr. Sunderland, suggesting that if any means can be used fo meet the remain- «ler of the $600 for the choir it should be re- tained until the close of the year, when other ngements can be made.

He had been villified h certain parties, notwithstanding all he had done. He moved that tae pay of the choir be reduced to $150 per year. Mr. John B.

Mr. Bryan moved that 2 committee, to consist of one elder, one trustee and ene dea- oon, be appointed to consult with the choir in refereuce to a reduction of their pay.
