Dr Brainerd was ,first for, and on rising
was received witka perfeet ,oration of apple*,
which the people 'scarcely seemed to knew. how
to 'bring to an -end. When . order was restored,
Dr. Brainerd commenced by saying that he was`
sure he had'none id° 'ranch rabdeSty, but that after
such a welcome he felt doubtful hew 'to 'pro'ceed.•
The chairman, be said, ;was veryltind'iii giving
me an introduction to this audience: I; have hiid
a" slight acquaintanee with them. And I can t
say of my people that while I commend myinith
istry, with a proper estimate of them, an aeqnain,
tance of 25 years has only increased them in, my
esteem and regard: Every sentiment of. regard
on your part is fully reeiprecitted. The present
