At 8 o’clock Samuel L Waldo, president of the society, took the chair, and the exersises of the evening com menced with the choir chaunting a salutator Mr, WaLpo then from the Ho'y Scr.ptures the 62d chapter ot Issiah, whiob was followed by the congre- gation joiniog him in the Lord’s Prayer. ‘The choir then sang the 185th selection. ‘The people that walked in darkness Bi hey that ¢ land of the shadow of death, that dwellin on them hath the light shined. For unto us @ Ros is born, ‘01 shall be on his shoulders— called all be Wonderful Councillor ! God the Mighty ! ‘The Rev. Mr. Barrxtr then addressed the assemblage. He said:—About five years ago a small number of per sons assembled in the parlor of their worthy President, for the purpose of devising means to spread abroad the true lights of the Gospel. It was suggested that a society be established for the of fo igeeed od the works of the Emanuel Swedenborgians. project at met with many difficulties, but, like the lot of ery great and good enterprise—like gold, it stood Test of the fire. It spove but little good of any cause, if sll men thought good of it. ‘Woe unto you,” seith the Lora, if men think well of you.’’ The society, by God’s kindness, has steadily increased in strength, power end favor among the people. More han 13,00 volumes had been published by the society during the past year, at a cost of $2,555. The sum of $1,500 bad been expended in stereotype plates, which was three times the amount expended last year—thus showing that the efforts of the om have not been in vain; that they bave been rewarded by converts there was no doubt; and he hoped it would steadily increase, until its religious principles would be spread al over the vast couvtry. True religion was not found among the church goers of the present age, or in the Walls of the legislature. All was in darkness. There Wasa grevt di of religious principles in our land, which would yet shake the very foundations of socivty to its centre. If religious principles were not prop:rly appreciated, all other principles would soon fall to the ground. There was reason to believe that a vast amount of infidelity lurked in the church Tt was trae, moat rsons went to ‘church, but they did not sincerely be- ieve in holy Lge je that ought to guide them in all their thoughts and actions There was, no doubt, a tendency to treat the Bible Banely ever e'nce the refor- mation. Another caure to which be attributed the Jack of faith in divinity is the number of religious sects that have, from time to time. sprang up, and the num. er of commentaries made upon the Bible by the yy of these sects. They locked upon the Bible as upon any other book, its meaning just the fanc speaker condemped o many have of late sprang up. The spiritualists were among those who were most to be dreaded; for they in their ee did not act for themselves, but did just as the spirits (whetber or evi:) told them to perform. How much then was the faith of their rociety needed in such fearful times ! Every volume issued by the Sweden. borgian rociety was # living missionary, preaching peace and glad tidings to every house where it is permitted to enter. In conclusion, th Cage enjoined all, both rich and poor, to join them in the good enterprise, and with the help of the Lord, on the return of their anniversary two years this date, myriads of angels would re- joice for the work that had been done, and join ‘with those on earth in singing praises to Him who is the ruler of all things. At the close of Mr Barrett’s remarks, the choir sang the two hupdreth selection:— ‘The wilderness and the barren place Shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice And blossom as the rose. ‘The Rev. Mr. Pressick, from Englani, was then in troduced to the meeting, which he ad¢ressed at some length upon the success that attenced the labors of the Swedenborgian Society in Manchester and elsewhere. Fiom what be hac observed, be bad no donbt of the ulti- mate wide spreading of the faith preached by Emanuel Swedepborg, whose writings were the only unsectarian text books that religion is blest with. ‘The following resolution was adopted at the close of last speaker's remark3:— Resolved, That this meeting regard the new Pom getoe reading room a Lg ¥ importance and usefal y yoruly of thé support of new churchmen throug! country. The doxology was then sung, and the meeting ad- journed. tablishment of s an object of the AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. The thirty-ninth anniversary of the American Bible Society was held yesterday morning in the Broadway Tabernacle. The building was crowded; the majority of the audience, as usual, consisted of ladies. In fact, if we might judge from the composition of the various re- lgious anniversaries which have beea held during this and previous years, it would appear that the ladies have & monopoly of religious feeling. As yesterday was the first favorable day they had since the anniversaries com- menced, they took advantage of it. The meeting was called to order by the President, Hon, THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN, who made # brief and appro- priate address. He gave a short sketch of the past his- tory of thesociety, and its present condition, and spoke ot the hopeful prosperity with which it entered upon the - work of the present year. He alluded to the large as- semblies which attended at these anniversaries as indica- tive of a deep religious feeling in the community and as an encouragement for the prosecution of the work in which the society is engaged. There might be fears in the minds of the timid, the weak might waver, and the de- spondent see no hope in the future; but whi'e there such proofs, he no ay about the success of the work. It was the work of the Lord, and it must succeed. It was gratifying to all true Christians to know that over seven hunored thousand copies of the Bible have been distributed to those who were in need of ‘the word of God, since the last meeting. Was not this fact full of hope; and did it not prove the importance of the society as an agent in the promulgation of Chris- peer! aan ples? Let us, said the speaker in conclusion, continue with unabated zeal to prosecute the mission in which we are employed, and which ccneerns the eternal agp of een ee | of the human race. nie ites @ Treasurer’s and Managers’ reports for ea cre Eee One Bee.

Dr. ‘tablished, But this was not all—the society should not rest in its Jabors, while there are so many in our favorei lend who were without the Scriptures. Much bad beea accomplished, but there was still much to be done. All who bad a true love 0! man should lend their eo-opera. tion to the society, and assist it im the cizculation of the word of God. Rev. Professor Havey, of the Michigan University. presented the next resplution, as follows:— Resolved, That the more we study the Bibl its aduptation to all the various developem ty, to , to strengthen and to perie: found are we convinced that it is, like i tible in its resources, and ia, and ever will be, the grand preservative power of al) that is ood among men. Professor HAVEN spoke io reference to the circulation of the Bible as a work which should enlist the sympa- thier of every men who believed in the saving truths of Chnstianity: It might be regarded as the foundation of civil and religious liberty—as the promoter of jwblic education, and all the temporal blessings which wo en- joy. But it was not these reasons alone which commend. ed it to us; it was because in it only is tobe found the words of eternal life. This was the principal reason why those who believed in it should circulate it among those who were ignorant of its glorious and soulsaving truths. He did not believe in any mrgent a outside of it, for they were human; while that which it taught came from God. There could be no virtue without it, no morality that is not founded upon its pts; and philanthropy that was not actuated by its spirit could not exis Without it the world would sink into its original barba rism and idol wership. There might be, it was truo, a civilization without {t, but it would be « maverial civillt zation—witbout « soul, without virtue, without those refining and moral influeneés which are the offspring only of the Bible. ‘The pext speaker was the Key. Dr. BLAck, of Pittsburg, Pa., who offered the following resolution:— Resolved. That the object! free use of the Scriptures, on the to be understood, is clearly with to the character of t) e hor, and peril Souls of men, and ought, at this day, to be everywhori hed. atleman spoke of the objections which ‘The reverend ge: poke han been urged against the reading of the Bible; but they came from s church which, afteran agony ana a struggle of eighteen centuries, at last produced doc- trine of the Immaculate Conception.” Why should bd ohpectae ane ee err tonzelien tes when it was ured for the purpose of hug the souls of men, by withholding from them the right of pri- vate |) \gment, and the trutns of tne Bivle?

Mr. T. gave an account of the condition of the East, and particularity of the Holy Land ; and showed the ne- cersity for the distribution of the Bible in that quarter. The society was doing much for this end in the trans!a- tion of it into the Arabic tongue, and he believed that it would still continue its labors until they had brought the whole of Asia back to the truths which the Bible alone contained. ‘Tre following resolution was presented and spoken to by Rey. W. Hatioway of Brooklyn:— Resolved, That the precepte, the exemples, and the whole spirit of the Bibl weil as the numerou slations now made, and the favoring condition of the world for the recep- tion of this book, summon those who possess it to enlarged orte and more fervent prayer for ite early diffusion among all people. The revolution was seconded by Rev. Dr. Trxc, who read letters from Hon. Robt. C Winthrop, of Mass , and the Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Alabama, ips sieved their inability to be present, in consequence of the press of other business requiring all their time and attention at bome. The rev. gentieman then proceeded to speak of the miseion of the United States as a Bible distributing country, and the obligations which rested upon all its citizens to lend their asistance to the promulgation of ita sacred truths. At the conclusion of Rev. Dr. Tyng’s remarks bene- diction was pronounced, and the meeting adjourned. AMERICAN ANII-SLAVERY SOCIETY. THE ABOLITIONISTS IN ORUROH—DISOUSSION ON THE PROPOSITION OF A NORTHERN CONVENTION. ‘The second day’s session of the twenty-second avni- versary of the American Anti-Slavery Society was held yesterday morning in the Freewill Baptist Church, Sul- livan street. The attendance was very thin, there not being probably more than two hundred persona present, which might be thus d vided:—Wkite ladies, 1¢0; color €d do., 60; white men, 30; black do., 10. The meeting was opened by @ prayer by Rev. Mr. Griswold, of Con- necticut; after which the meeting was addressed by W Lioyp GARRISON, who went on to demonstrate that the issue of the Avti-Slavery Society was the same as that of the Freewill Baptiet church and other religious de minations—namely, that no slavebolder or advo- cate of slavery should be allowed to be a member of the Christian church; and that, therefore, if the former deserved the name of infidel, the members of the Church which admits him no merit the s: epithet.

One or two other resolutions proposing the disruption of the Union ard the formation ot a Northern confede racy, were also read; but they have been heretofore povlished, having been proposed at an abolition meeting Boston a few weeks ago. Mr. Hexry C. Wuicut intimated that the resolation just read had taken the wind out of hii ls. He had some resolutions, but he found that the senti- ments of them were comprised in those submitted. Still, his argument was coutained in those resolutions, and so he would read them:— Whereas, the governme: in part of sh of the United States is composed ae Tight to obtain the control of the goveramont’ the support and perpetuity of ite non slavsholders have Lo" get com For Wand wield’ ic ‘im Tavor of Resolved, That s xovernment thus constructed and admi- nistored on never be used as means to abolish slavery, or tovotveds MERE the Sine hee tat to form a Northern confederacy, im which = m-= - hill wow be held. aso place: or put on trial befr: re 8 man or & beast, sue in «hie eho!ders shall be'regarded and treated as highway rvbbers, murderers, and other felons are regarded and treated, Mr. Wricnt proceeded to draw comparisons between she ip pemelees, Mahan robbers, murcerers, felons and wan stealers, thought that asscciation witn one was as bad as association with the other.

Mr. BURLEGH (incignantly)—Slavebolders are easily corrupted, too; and have $20,000,000 of interest in the blave tra Mr. SxopGRass—They are incorruptible, while the Northern men ssutk live @ set of poltroo: Mrs. Ross—Do you think that if the interest was taken away from the South, so that toe slaveholier should bave no interest whatever in holding slaves, that be would then be the self-sacrificing man for the sake of the principle of slavery? (Applause. Mr. SNodGRass—I will say as the best answer I can give—that some of the men of the South, who have not single coilar invested in slaves, and who never expect to have—edneated, as they are, in the belief of the Calhoun school, that slavery is all right and a God- given institution—are among the most ardent, sincere, unfinching tustainers of slavery. Mrs, Rosk—Ihey may expect to have some. Mr. SxoncRass~I speak of persons who have not « doller invested In slavery, and never expect to have. Mrs, Any Kety #osTER—I would inquire whether the white people of the South—the non slaveholding white population of the South—are not the, property in a very considerable sense of the slave! ra’—whether 200,000,000 of property does not control, not oaly ition of slaveholders, but the conduct of the non-slavebolders!-—whether mon-slaveholders are not completely subservient, from the very nature of the institution, to tue slavebol Mr. Snopcrass acknowledged that to a very great ex- tent this was #0; but stated that the people of the free States who have gone down South are much worse, and place more barriers in the way of progress, than the Southern people themselves. He appealed to the Presi- dent to protect him from furtber interruptions, In an- swer to some suggestions ot Mr. Garrison, Mr 9. asked whether did he think they would have slavery or free- dom in Kansas, in case of the establisnment of a North- ern Confederation? Mur. Garrison—Freedom, of course. Mr. SyopGrass—I am not #0 sure of that. Mr. S. con- tinued his remgras tn relation to the paltroonery of Northern men in.Kansas. The following persons were appéinted the Finance Com- mittee :—Abby Kelly Foster, Susan B, Anthony, Aaron M. Powell, Rowland Johnson, ane Ruggles. Mr Wx. Goopxut teok the floor to respond to the last speaker. He bad not intended to join ia this debate, but he wished to say, that though became here as an abolitionist, still he was opposed to the Northern confe- deracy proposition. He agreed with the remarks which hie friend Garrizon made fs wy 4 that if the Union could not be preserved without « sacrifice of principle aad conscience, then indeed they had but ome course to adopt He was not of opimion that that wasso. The argument of Mr. Wright proves too much, for it proves that while we are builcing up our Northern confederacy, we can have no connection with slavery Now greed with the last speaker im his sen ts about Northern aad Soutbern pro-sisvery men. The Northern Re slavery men were worse the Southercers, the argument ot his friend Wrigot was an argument st all civil government. In the first place we would have—to carry cut his idea—to colonize all pro slavery men, all rumrellers, and ail dishonest men; and then they would have no need of civil government at all. (Laughter.) Civil government consists in the entire community, honest or dishonert, Fosrsr asked whether he believed it right to enter compsct with evil doers, even for the purpose of g civil government? OODELL —That question is based on misapp! government, I believe that Mr. hension. In my iden of civil every man is a member of civil government, whether he will or not. Mr. Garrison.—And every woman too? Mr. GoopELL.—Yes. Mr. Foster.—Then Mr. Garrison is a government mai Mr. GoorEt1—I suppose be is; I hope so. (Laught Mr. G. i peer to give his idea of civil governme: He scoffed at the Know Nothing idea of excluding for- eigners living in the nation. ir. GARRISON—Ana excluding women ? Mr. Gooprtr—Yes, and excluding women, too. (Laugbter.) Mr. Puiturs rose to @ question of order—that the question of civil goverament was not before the meet- ing. Knotber member wished the speaker to go on, and to tell the meeting woether he recognized any distinction between civil society and civil government ‘Mr. PHILurs desired preceding speaker, if he wished to have civil society and civil government dis- cuted, to hire » hall for the purpo-e. (Applause ) Mr. Goovx1t continued his remarks denying She pro- position that civil government was a mere compact. He would not, however, bore the convention by going into a long argument. He tbought, however, that the consti- tution of the Uniled Staves was almost completely in favor of liberty—the Fugitive Slave law being swept away, and the clause as te the three-fifths representa. tion, all the reat was in favor of liberty. Mr. Garrison—Wbat about the clause to suppress do- mestic insurrections? Mr. Goopst1—Oh, that is alla bugbear in the North- ¢mn mind. (Laughter. ) Mr. FOSTER sug} d that the words of the clause were that the United 3tates should protect each of the States inet domestic violence. Mr. Gooprtt—I thank brother Foster; and now that I recollect that when Gerritt Smith was nominated for the Presidency, he said in bis pamphlet, in reference to this clause, that domestic violence meant 4 very, and that the clause putitdown. (Laught there were no lawsin slavery; but that slave property was held like any other property, by common law right. ur. Foutan agsin intimated that the descussion was not in order, and went on himself to make a speech on bis own hook. A Cotonzp Brupper—(Mr. Remond) rose to a point of order, which was that the resolutions offered, permitted be widest latitude im t! bate, and that brother Fos- ter was out of order. Theirgreat point was the dissolu- tien of the Union, and he hoped to hear all light thrown upon it.

The anti-slavery people met agaic in the evening, at the same place. The attendance bad dwindled down to balf what it bad been in the morning. The «ld Quaker gentleman who had distinguisbed himself sesterday at the Metropolitan theatre, was present atl ‘he day, fra- ternizing A good many bandsome young ladies were prevent, who did nottraternize. The first thing done was tho reading of a violent abolition communication from Mr. Joseph Barker, of @hio, an Englishman, who had formerly figured asa Methodist preacher, amd now figures as a deist and abolitionist of the most rabid character. An acditional resolution ss reported, paying a ti . Burleigh, late an active reconsideration of the resolution was resumed. . Sami. MAY, Jr, of Boston, made a very sensivl kas to the inutility and absurdity of this morn. Committee reported an additional reso- the effect thet the New York /1 ut having stigmatized the abolitionist Parker Pillsbury, for come recent exposures of the pro-slavery position of the Board of Commissioners for Foreign sions, and having refused bim the use of its columns for seif-de- fence, has thereby basely sought toe injure the reputa tion of said P. P., and beem guilty of detraction and faisebood. Mr. r. FosTsr then got an opportunity of veuting out an amount of absuroity, fanaticism, and ridiculous non- arging of which must have a beneficial pon his moral system. He denounced the govern- the great Bastile of slavery. Dr. SauTH (colored man) replied to Mr. Foster, and made tbe most se: indeed tre enly, speech which ‘the meeting had listened to throughout the day. He condemned disumopisem. He tmntimated that Mr. Phillips had not spoken yesterday the exact trath, when he said the society could not procure « church here to hold their anniversary. Some five or six churches would have ad- mitted them Mrs. ABuy Keviy Foster ‘n applied the screw for more funds, with what suceess we know not. * Mr. GaRnIsON, in the absence of Mr. Phillips, explained what the latter meant in the remark alluded to, snurches of a comvenient size, and of high standing and repute— not colored churches. ‘They had had Dr. Chapin’s church Jast year, but it was now closed on them, Dr. SMITH inquired what-the Coairman meant by re- putable churches. Was not Zion church reputable?— .) The Cusrrman appeared somewhat nonplussed by this home 5 canny buy nade an explanation of his meaniog. Mr. WxiGur hoped this persoaal discussion wosld cease; if not, that Dr Smith should be put down. Mr. Wm. Box Brown (ancther colered gentleman, who migrated northward in a box) made a long speech, in which be went in strong for the dissolution of the Union. Major Downina (of oyster celebrity) inquired of Mr. Brown how he would treat the pro-slsvary portion of the wrunity. iz. BROWN would answer that. The prejudice against the A’rican race rises entirely from slavery. Thera i nosuch thing as prejudice against color; if there was, why did gentlemen have their boots blacked, when they might more earily have them whitewashed? (Laughter. ) Mr. Frep. DovGta: ‘the black'’) next took the floor and spoke ip defence of the constitution and Onion ayainet the silly attacks made on it perce white speakers. He completely swamped sir. P! pher Bur- leigh and al) the other disunionist philosophers. irs. ERDESTINE L. ROSE, seeing no opportunity of get- ting the floor, here (10 0’clock P. M.) made her congé (the old Quacker gentleman being at the time fast asleep among the reporters). Frep DovGLass continued his remarks in a manner but lit leasing to the audience. Wr. BURLEIGH appealed to the Chair to call Fred to oréer. Mr. Gannon thought the society was too well aware of the relation between it, and the speaker was too well known to render sny expisnation necessary. Mr. May reminded the society ot some barf ughty things said and done by Fred against the leaders of the society. Mr. FostsR, in answer to a question of Mr. Douglass, as to what sort of a government he would form, answer- ed, a Northern confederacy in union with the slaves of the South. Such a union was already formed. He ex- pected soon to see a civil war in this country. Frep Dot intimated a doubt as to the manly bearing of non-resistants of this society in such a con- tingency. P. M.—Fred is still speaking—several ladies quietly dropping out.) ‘The Tm intimated thet it was discourteous for an avowed enemy of their society to be intruding on their time at this late hour. Mr. DovGass did not come to sue for he did think he was invited to reconciliat! toon his seat. Rev.

AMERICAN TEMPERANCE UNION- The nineteenth anniversary of the American Tempe- rapce Union was held last evening in the Broadway Ta- bernacle. Tosay that the building was crowded would fail to give a correct idea of its conditiou—every avail- able foot of standing room even was occupied, and the very entrances were filled with persons. The Rev. Dr. Syng, the lion of the evening, presided, assisted by a number of lesser lights. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Squires; after which the following abstract of the annual report was read by Dr. Marsh, Corresponding Secretary :— The report commenced with the inquiry, shall nation be born in a day!

I read some time ago, continved the Rev Doctor, in a Western psper, of amam who was tried in a courtiu Kentucky for assault battery, and when a certain witness was brought up to descrite the way in which this man had turned anether out of his house, he said:—‘'Your Honor, he indused him to Jeave it.”” “Induced him.” ssid'the counsel, ‘what do you mean? “I mean he touk up a stick and beat him out.” Now, I have only to say that our mode Jar to that of the Kentucky man The ‘anecdote of some frogs in the town of Wyndbam, which raised auch @ tumult im their migra- tion from pond to another that the good people thought the world was coming to an end. frogs be compared tothe Iquor dealers, who were making a tre- mindous ery because they were forced 10 abandon their Present nefarious trafic.

Let the Chairma: id he, of the Tammany Hall meeting, or Captain French who undertakes to say that Dr. Tyng is the only one who undertakes the cause of temperance among the Episcopalian ministers—and there is not a Popish one (leave Bishop Hughes to settle that question with him)—let the lawyers pursue their course, or measure the law by the magnitude of their fees—we 1 find when the $30,000 have gone in the armless fecing of these lawyers, our cause will stand, and the men who support it come out triumphant im the contest. The Rev. gentlemen discussed the question of the constitutionality of the Prohibitory law, on moral png tl and came to the conclusion that it was per- fectly in accordance with the censtitution.

AMERICAN HEBREW CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA- TION. Quite a large audience assembled in the Norfolk street church, near Rivington street, lat night, to organize society to be known as the “ American Hebrew Chria- tian Association.” This was to inaugurate an effort that has long been on the tapis. Rey. Mr. W. GaLaTtn was called to the chair, and Me. Morris Franklin officiated as Secretary. After a from Rev. Mr, Finlay, the following “waa ead by the Secretary, as the call of the meetin Whereas, There existe in the Unite: dred bighly many of whom ree ig: ous to it; and whereas, it of many of these C tian Jews, that the present signs of the times are such as call upon now isolated positio and organis ting of sincere id tried converts, havin oper the es several hua” Christian Jows, lace Lem to abandon the stirring up eo dry C ft d the arousing of the Christian Church to more aeaast and increased effort for the salvation of ‘an and public testimony of ‘and jossinhship of Jesus, the setting aside by them of al jtarian formu! present day, knowing nothing ng themselves save Je- sus, their common Redeemer, and cberishing love to all that bear his image, by whatever name they may be called. would dma r Jewish brethren to examine the religion our Christian Jewish e city se ador = ek, oF y o'el 5 Chured, in” Nortel on streets, for the pur- ch an association as will carry out the d in the above preamble, Rev, Joux MEANDER was the first speaker. He said it mmurt be the desire of all Christians to change, if possi- dle, their Jewish brethren from the error of their ways. The time bas now come when the converted Hebrews should come together, meet oftener, and pour oat their bearts to the Father of All. By doing this, it would be latter avch a body of wit for the general and would little jealou- sies that now divide them. The portion of the speaker’s remarks were in German, Mr. Morris Frankuin, of Union College, was next in- troduced. He was disposed to feel gratified at the meet- tpg before him. fhe signs of the times indicate that everything is ready for a Jewish Christian Association. It is absurd to say that because they have adopted Chris- tianity, they were therefore apostates. They were not engraited branches, but were true Israelites, and cher- ished the same faith that inspired Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and their descendants, the apostles, There is ne reason why the Christian Jews should be disassociated one fromanother. Mr. Franklin depicted in feeling terms the sorrow and anguisha Jew unde whe wishes to charge his faith. The traditions of race, the scorn of hi relatives, the bo yg incredulity even of Christians, ate all against him. Yet, notwithstanding this, in the ee opinion, there was every reason to belit be dite ee Fri per Chad great numbers. organs that sect openly despise Rabbinism, and everything pro- mises well for the future. A bymn was then sung. after which — Mr. G. K. ERER made a speech in German. He read the names of many eminent men who had beem converted J They stould not fear to come forward and stard on Lora’s side. Rev. Mr. Haris was the next speaker. He did not consider the division of Christians into sects as at all likely to interfere with the conversion of the Jews. The Hebrews themselves are divided into sects; old and new school Talmudists and anti-Talmudistse—those whe read in one version, and those who read in another— they all conflict, and when we look at Christian secte after s)1 find them to be one in Christ. There were, aker, more Jews converted during the last twenty five years then had been during the preceding eighteen centuries. The speaker had no doubt but that the Jews would soon be converted. At the conclusion of the Rev. gentleman’ be s constitution was read, amended and adopted. ‘Phe fol- Jowing gentlemen were then elected officers for the em- suing year — Rev. Jobn Meander.
