be accomplished by a devoted pastor and a united people, will be done there. In Louisville, Rev. Mr. Heywood has been laboring for two years, with satisfactory results. That society was never in a more healthy or hopeful condition than now. And there is no doubt that the continued labors of that excellent minister will secure to the good cause continued and increasing success. In Hillsboro', Illinois, Mr. Huntington, has charge of a small society, to whose spiritual interests he still devotes himself with singular self-devotedness. Such an example is the most eloquent preaching. In Quincy, brother Moore, and in Chicago, brother Harrington are reaping the good fruits of indefatigable labors. Their societies are vigorous and free from debt. They exert a strong and beneficial influence in their respective communities. In St. Louis, the society although yet small, is steadily increasing, and an addition to the House of Worship is now in progress. Thus, by a cursory examination, we see cause of encouragement. Thus far, our progress in the West has been, at least, fully commensurate with our exertions. We have reason to be fully satisfied. We ought to feel stimulated to greater exertions.

We regret that we have been able to procure but very imperfect sketches of the addresses; and that we could not obtain the remarks of Rev. Mr. Lothrop and George Channing, Esq. George B. Emerson, Esq., made a few remarks, and moved the acceptance of the Report. The Report was accepted, and the meeting was closed by singing the "Dismission Hymn."
