THE CITY.
St. Patrick’s Day and Its Cele-
BRATION.—The anniversary of Ihe birth of St. Patrick,
the tutelary Saint of Ireland, occurs to-day, aud will be
duly celebrated with proper spirit. St. Patrick ia said to
have been born in the year 373, at Kilpatrick, near tho
mouth of the Clyde, in Scotland. Some authorities say
that he was born at Boss, in Wales. At tho ago of six
teen, he was carried captive to Ireland, by a band of ma
rauders, but, after a detention of six mouths, mode his
«re«r? and returned to Scotland. Beiag carried off a
second time, and escaping again, he resolved to become
a missionary to the Irish, was ordained in Scotland, and,
after a long preparation, was consecrated bishop. Hia
ecclesiastical nomenclature of P»tric2iis was given to him
l>y Pope Celeatine, who sent him to Ireland iu the year
41(3, There lie preached the Gospel with such extraordi
nary effect, that, although not absolutely the first to in
troduce Christianity into that country, he has always re
ceived the credit ef Us general conversion. He baptized
the Kings of Dublin and Munster, and the seven sons of
•the King of Connaught,
St. Barnard testifies that he fixed hin metropolitan see
at Armagh In hia old age he wrote his u confession, 0
the authenticity of which iB much doubted. A. popular
legend escribes to him the banishment of all venomous
'Creatures from the island by means of his crozter, which
was said to have beau kept with great care nt Dublin, as
late as 1560.' St. Patrick died at Down, in Ulster, about
the year 464, and was there burled.
The celebrated shamrock, which is an emblem of the
day, is a species of grass, also called trefoil, containing
three leaves upon one »tock. Th© Irish, when he first
addressed them upon the doctrine of tho Trinity in
’Unity, were occasionally disposed to atone him to death,
upon which occasions he always produced the shamrock,
asking them if it was not as possible for the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost to xrow upon & single stalk, as those
three green leaves, and thus reconcilcdthem to the faith.

Other Lifetoiians say that St Patrick was not a native
of Ireland, nor was be born in Steotlat d aa many suppose,
but he first saw light in the neighborhood or Boulogne,
in the year 357. Ho was taken prisoner by the Irish
Monarch Xial, of the Nine Hostages, in 403, when only
36 years old—that powerful Hibernian ravaging the
maritime districts of Gnnl at that period. On arriving in
Ireland he was, with other prisoners, sold as astavu, and
parried into that section of the country now known as
Antrim. There his duty was the humble one of tending
sheep ; and this uutet and solitary occupation giving him
a capital opportunity to think, he formed plans for future
action. At Inst he succeeded in escaping to Gaul, and
reached once more his boyhoud's home. Ills friends uud
relatives, as a matter of course, were delighted to see
bim t and he was placed In the College of Tours, where bo
'Btadied divinity and finally became a priest. PAtrlelUs”
did not fancy the ileister, however, and resolved to re
turn to the country of bis captivity to preach to the
heathen, who darkened that beautiful [and.
lie landed iu Dublin about tlie year 423, and startei
nt once fox tho region where he had go long lived us a
shepherd. He had follower* with bias, and hid party
wfere attacked by a chiettaiu named Dicho, as they were
travelling to the interior, beiog mistaken for a band of
pirates. ~Rut St. Patrick returned good for evil, and
made Picho one of bis firsi converts; so that, instead of
being put to death by him, he became oae of hi* warmest
friends and most zealous co»oparatora iu spreading
Christianity abroad
The Saint celebiateil Divine worship first in a barn,
called Patrick’s Darn, and dually lighted fires on Tara
Hill in honor of Easter festival; and they blazed, too, in
the very eyes cl the princes and chieftains, among whom
vvae K»cg J.vgaire. Gieat wfta the astonishment of the
nobles mi siting this file sporting up to tho heavens in
sight of the Halls of Tars, and the Saint was summoned
to the presence of Lugaire. He addressed tho King so
eloquently and ably, on the subject of truo religiou, that,
almost to yield to his (the Saint’s) belief, be
did not uuitc surrender. He gave him permission to
preach, however, and the result w as that be built a church
on the very * pot which had before been devoted to the
sacrifices of the Pmidfcal god, Crum Crunch. Success
continued to follow the footsteps of St. Patrick during
the whole course of his exertions to spread Christianity
in Ireland—ihe Druids aud others, whose enmity he had
to encounter, offering a lees forcible resistance tbnu is
usual with the supporters of a totteiiug system. His
converts embraced men of rank and learning; churches
■w ere erected in comic erable numbers throughout Ireland,
Slid, to give the new ereteffl 'he advantages of organist*-
tioiu the See of Armagh was founded, and it was fined by
St. Patrick himself.
Tbi3 morning there will be an orchestral performance
at St. Patrick’s Church, and Haydn’s Mass, No. 3, will
be sung by the choir.
The Irish volunteers of the city are generally in the
service of the country, go that the usual military observ-
ance of the d«> will noi be as fin© a* usual. Ii Is expect

Charged with Attempting to De-
FRAUD.—On Saturday, in the Court of Quarter Ses
sions, an individual, formerly a grocer, was heard on a
writ of habeas corpus, charging him with defrauding his
creditors. A number of wholesale dealers were examined,
with whom the defendant had been dealing for a number
of years, As a general thing he paid his obligations
promptly. To tho present creditors, examined in the
case, he was indebted in sums ranging from *6170 to $5OO.
A half dozen witnesses were examined. Ho finally sold
cut his stock nt public auction, and tho creditors remain
unpaid op to the present time. The defendant, it is al
leged, con timed making heavy purchases, although he
was arranging to sell out by auction.
A pcibob in Hie emvluj of nofonlant a'nted that after
the store was closed and the bill of sale put up, persons
came in there and bought goods in much larger quanti
ties than usual: did not kno m that defendant brought the
customers there
Another employee said that be left the store iu Febru
ary, l&til; tJsere was an ©xcelfent busmeea done at the
store; the sales amounted. to from $5OO to $7OO per week.;
the customers were first class people.
After selling out his stock by public auction he closed
out his business and entered into the Quartermaster’s De
partment in General Banka* army, leaving a few of his
creditors unpaid.
The couuh-1 tor the defence asked that his client be
discharged, as there was not the least particle of evidence
that he intended to defraud his creditors. What was
done was done publicly, in the usual way, and the stock
was sold at a sacrifice, of course.
The counsel for the prosecution asked that he be held
to answer. Tho judge said that he could not conscien
tiously discharge the defendant. He thought the case
was one that ought to go to a jury. Bail was entered for
the appearance of the defendant before a jury.
An Interesting Case.—An interest
tag case of enlisting mechanics, such as bricklayers, stone
masons, carpenter*, and blacksmiths, came up before
Judge Allison on Saturday, and was promptly disposed
of It seems that arm© time since; about a dozen of men
belonging to Moorestowa, 2*. J., enlisted at a rendezvous
in Chestnut street, above Fourth, as mechanics, to do the
work at Fort Delaware and other forts proposed to be
Built on the Delaware river. The specifications were
that the men were to be drilled three fourths of an hour
iu the morning &ud ©veiling of each day, eo that they
might man Ike guns iu cage tbe regulaF soldiers were shot
down. This they agreed t», and became enlisted. In
stead of being tie&ted as they expected, after baviugbeeu
cent away, they found themselves to aU intents and pur
poses enlisted soldiers. They refused to do duty as such,
and appealed to the court, on writs of habeas corpus,
asking for their discharge. There did not appear to oe
nny blame on the pert of the recruiting agents in the
city. There is evidently a misunderstanding somewhere.
Judge Allison euid that tbe c&je is very plain—none of
?he men enlisted as soldiers, and consequently he would
have to discharge them. A decree to this effect was at
mice made.
A PbAyeb fob A Time Of CiylL
WAR.—Bishop Potter has directed the following addi
tional prayer to the clergy if the Diocese of Pennsyl

peace. Inspire our souls with grateful love: lift up our
voices in songs of thankfulness; make ub humble and
watchful in our prosperity, and prepare us for whatever
reverses Thou ehalt ."see that we need. Give wisdom
and grace to our i nt&ra. Pour constancy and courage
usd charity towards all men into the hearts vf our people.
Draw towerdfi us those who are now alienated from us iu
appearance or in heart, and hasten, O Lord of flosta,
the blessed day ulien as one people we may once more
give thanks unto Thee in Thy holy church, and by our
daily lives show forth Thy praise, through Jesus Christ,
our most blessed Lord and Saviour, Amen,”

The Continental Dinner— An In
junction ASKED FOR—Ou Saturday, in tho Dio
tiict Court, a bill was presented, in equity, praying a
tl'ccisl and perpetual injunction to prevent the city of
Philadelphia from pa tag the cost of tho la c dinner, by
Councils, nt Ibo Continental Hotel. Tho hill is preferred
by George F. Lewis and George Smith, citizens and tax
payers, a gainst Philip B. Lutes, clerk of tho Common
Council. Emanuel Boy, clerk of Select Oouhcll, Jam*.*
McClintock, treasurer, and J. E. Stevens & Co. It ro
utes the passage of the ordinance appropriating two
thousand dollars for the expenses of the entertainment,
and the Mayor’s veto of the same, aud the passage of it
over the veto by a two»third& vote of both chambers.
Tb© compfoiuauta allege that the eaid ordinance is illegal,
and make the fullowtau übjuuLiuns to its validity:
1. That a considerable portion of the said sum of $2,000
was designed to cover the expenses of an ontertaiumont—
viz: eating, drinking, and smoking, provided by Coun
cils for themselves and their guests, the said object not
being properly or legally tho subject of municipal enact
ment, assosment, or taxation.
2. That the moneys thus misappropriat'd w«r« raised
by general taifuiou. and cannot lawfully be devoted to
any objects other than those of the geueral welfare, the
entertainment referred to having no connection with the
public or general good. , .
3. That the mom ys thus misappropriated were raised
by specific taxation for certain specified purposes, and
were paid and rewind for tiIWV particular purposes, aud
none others; that the entertainment of Councils was not
amongst the purposes thus enumerated, and the with
draw a! of the funds from tho purposes to which they were
to pledged iB a perversion thereof, and a breach of the
trust reposed iu those controlling tho appropriations.
4. That the Council* are, in this particular, the trustees
of the public funds* ana cannot lawfully appropriate the
same to their own use..
5. That by the fiftieth section of the act of the General
Assembly, passed the second day of February, A. D.
1854, commonly called the Consolidation Act, it is en
acted that “ No member or members of Council, whether
as a committee or otherwise, shall make any disburse
nieut of corporate moneys, nor audit the accounts thereof,
r.or perform any other executivo duty whatever.”
And your orators charge that tho action of the said
Council?, herein complained of, is in direct violation of
said section, the members of said Councils assuming in
said ordinance to moke “ disbursements of tho corporate
moneys,” to “ audit the accounts thereof}” and to uper
form executive duty.”
6. That b; the twenty-fourth section of the act of May
33th, 33f»6, it is pro viced that (1 It shall not be lawful for
any department or committee of said city, or tho officers
tbertof, or ftr the prison inspectors, to draw any moneys
out of the City Treasury, or to use any savings, or tUe
proceeds of the sales of any work or material* for or Id
any office, department, or prison, or any revenues what
soever thereof, for any entertainment, eating, drinking,
or smoking furnished to any members or officers of said
city corporation, departments, or officers thereof, or of
said priton, but shall pay the whole of said moneys into
tlic City Treasury, and every warrant drawn for«tbe ox.
pehsba of every department of the public service And
prison shall contain the declaration that no part thereof
has been used tor said purposes; and it shall bo lawful
lor the City Controller, and his duty, whenever required
by any citizen, to administer an oath or affirmation to
any person presenting u bill aiainst the city i« to its ac
curacy, the prices actually paid or contracted to be paid
therefor’ whether others and who, arc interest therein,
and as to whatever matter he may deem needful to pro
tect the interests of the city.”
7. And your orators charge that the action of said
Councils herein complained of is in direct violation of
said section, tho Councils being the legislative ** de
partment of laid city*” and the avowed object of said
misappropriation being “to draw moneys out of the
City Treasury for eating, drinking, and smoking,
furnished to them as members aud officers of said
city.”
8. That it is contended by defendants that said al
leged ordinance was legally passed over the Mayor’s
veto, whereas your orators ctmrgo to tho contrary
thereof, that the same did not rtceive the number of
votes requisite and necessary to enact the same over
said veto.
9. That said alleged ordinance directs that the warrants
for said misappropriation shall be drawn by the clerks of
Couucils, there being R 9 authority in the law Tor confer
ring such a power on said clerks.
The Court allowed iliti hill to be filed, ordered a cau
tionary injunction to ho issued, aud fixed Thursday next
for the hearing of the case.

There is also a large four-storied building in the rear of
the one above mentioned. Misers Levine A Son occupy
the first floor front as a store, and all the rest of the

accidental It bnmed into the store where Levine & Son
had a stock of good*, valued at $5,000. This stock was
coueiderfthly damaged to' fir<? fled water. The loss is
coveud by insurance in the Franklin, Royal, aud North

The place had been closed ior Borne time previous to the
discovery of the fire, the workmen having goue to their
homes. The fire wa3 discovered by Officer Shrouds, of
the Sixth ward police, wh > promptly gave tho alarm.
Through the exertions of the chief engineer and firemen
the flames were prevented from injuring the surrouuQing
properties.
Between eight and pine o’clock on Saturday morning, a
fire also occurred in a three-story brick building. No. 817
Market street. The structure was occupied by A. S. Noe
a 6 a furniture store And upliolst -ring establishment. The

maged, belongs to the Kates estate, aud is insured in tho
Green Tree Insurance Company. The greater portion of
the stock of Mr. Noe was removed. The remainder Buf
fi red much from water. His loss is estimated at about
$5OO. The stock, fixtures, Sc , are insured lor $l,OOO iu
the Spring Garden Insurance Company. The origin of
the fire was rather mysterious. Fire Marshal Blackburn
is investigating the matter.
Late on Friday night, a fire occurred at tho dwelling
of Mr. Carling, in Manayunk. The damage done did not
amount to.much.
The itlnnu of fire About eight o’eldfife WAS OAUS«d by thd

ston building, on Friday afternoon, to congratulate each
other on the gieat succo3sof their concert, held on the
2Stb ultimo at the Academy of Music, and to see aud
hear the elegant piano purchased with the profits. It
was indeed a brilliant sight, of bright ©yes and smiling
faces. Tho room was tastefully decorated, as was re
marked, “m tho Gordonic stylo:” stars and stripes all
around, in tasteful profusion. A beautiful feature of tho
occasion waß the presence of all the teachers in tho Fif
teenth section, about sixty in number, charmingly
dressed, and decidedly good-looking. Professor Fischer
conducted the staffing, and tho school went through taeir
pieccH in grand style. Mr. Georg© F. Gordon m-vie a

making a full statement of the matters ront.er.tad with
the concert, showingtotal proceeds $634; expenses
$334; price of piano, purchased from Shoemaker A Co ,
Chcßtnut street, above Tenth, s3*2s—twenty-five dollars
being a donation from Shoemaker &■ Co. From the de
monstrations of applause with which 3lr. Gordon was
grtetedi we Bbould judge he was a favorite. Short
f-peeches were now made by Thomas Potter aul A. B.
Irens; after which, Directors Charles Adam?, Henry
Hoff, A. G. Hoffman, 8 Dauiahs, J. C. Dihaduay, J.

The Concert Committee, composed of Mia3es Deihr,
Potter, Bradbury, Cooper* Mendenhall, and Fischer,
had a brilliant closing to their concert business.
The former principal, the late Miss Gillingham, (now
Mrs. Gasper,) appeared as a visitor, and was greeted
with hearty applause by her old pupils. It was au occa
sion long to be remembered. The whole thing waß sud
den and unexpected, and, we understand, was one of
Goidou’s surprises
Smuggling Powder—An Exciting
SCENE. —Captain Kennedy McCaw, the boarding officer
of the port in the revenue service, received informa
tion, late on Friday afternoon, that a schooner which
was lying at anchor in the Dilaware, near Christian
street, was delivering a quantity of gunpowder to a skiff
which w:» lying alongside of her. Captain McCaw cus
pected that tho powder was intended to go in some illegal
direction, and he immediately ordered out tho custom
house barge and pulled out to the schooner. On ar
riving at the vessel, he found that a number of kegs had
been put in the skiff, and that the loading was still in
progress. He ordered the men to step operations, and
be went into ihe cabin of the schooner to demand an ex
pianktion. While he was in ihe cabin the skiff cut
loose, and she was soon fairly flying down the river
before a fresh northerly wind. The alarm was given,
and, with the skiff nearly a mile ahead, the barge
started in pursuit.- ,4‘ was an exciting chase, sails
against oars, the skiff skimming a ong like a bird, and
the four Imriemen bending to their ours and streiuing
every nerve to overtake tho smugglers. Finally
tLf month of the Schuylkill was reached, and the skiff,
doubling the cape, turned up that stream. Here the
wind was not so favorable for fast sailing, and the crew of
the skiff took to their oa r s to help along thtir craft. As
the fugitive approached Point Breeze the revenue boat
gained open her, and, just opposite Lafferty’s, the barge
grappled with her prize. The persons in charge at first
attempted resistance; but Captain McOaw seon over
powered them.
The skiff had forty-four kegs oF powder, each weighing
twfuty-five pounds, on board, and it was afterwards as
certain ed that eight additional kegs remained upon the
schooner. The latter,' it seems, was from Boston; and
the powder, it is alleged, was intended for a manufacturing
firm in (he Twenty-fourth ward. The Government had
no claim upon it, and on Saturday the powder upon both
tbc schooner and tho skiff was formally taken possesion
of by High Constable Clark, who placed it in the maga
zine until the question of its forfeiture is decided. Ac
cording to what ib known aßtlie “powder law,” the pow
der is forfeited, ami a penalty of sdooie Imposed, one half
of which gees to tb6 Aa&AOlittiobfor the Belief 6f Disabled
. Firemen, and the remainder to the informer.

Hmdt-n. The minutes were read and approved.
£4-v4VaI ministers, including Samuel Kepler, Bauiuel
Baruo, A. A. Bteeo, and John 11. Dasldcll, desired to
correct the reporters in regard to somo remarks made ou
yesterday. A communication was read by the Secretary
from the 41 official body ” of York (Peuna.) station, re
questing the Conference, if agrieuble, to hold its next
geeeion in that ancient .borough. The pastor of the
cbtuge, lUv D. Monroe, tehUi-kal that nothing would
afford the people there more pleasure than for the Con
ference to accept their invitation. He would warrant
them a cordial reception. The invitation was unani
mously accepted.
The report or the Methodist Book Concern was then
read, which gave evidence of system and energy in eon
dnating, and prosperity attending It, Dr. Carlton then
afrked pennisaiou to speak iu behalf of the “ Concern.”
Ho remarked that it was iu a hoa’thy condition ; that
the afflicting debt, duo the Southern Church was entirely
paid; that the amount ordered by the General Con
tetence to be paid the Pacific and California advocates
had been transmitted; the salaries of the agents, bishops,
Ac.! .Ic„ litiil been proiujtly mo,, mid ahttudtome sure
plus remaining. The troubles we are passing through,
as u nation, have already had a sud effect upon the r ?
coipts of tho “Concern,” there being a great falling off
in the purchase of books and periodicals, but he trusted
the year ushering in would be one of more thuu ordinary
tttlce; rad y tit, were the times to remain m they nre fit
present, he believed they could still make it support it
srif. Be called especial attention to the periodicals of
the Church. Tho time was when he received more
money from the old Baltimore Conference for the Book
Concern than from any other two Conferences in the
connection, but there had boon a sad falling off. Tho
CVirfsfian Adiocare awf Jowrnal, while it contained
some things that many disliked, this Bhonldbeuo rea
son why they should not subscribe for it. Be
cause he found articles in hooks that did not chime
in with liia opinions, was no reason why he should
cease reading them—not at all. This he regarded as a
parallel caeo. The Quarterly Review next claimed his
attention, and the /Sunday Schocl Teacher's
the latter of which should be in the hands of every lover
of Sabbath Schools. He then spoke of the Sunday
School Advocate, and of tho choice selection of “ libra
ries ” on hand, having added to tho already large supply
forty-nine new ones during the past year.
The committee appointed upon the affairs of Dickinson
Ctdl&ge begged leave to report- It was a clear aud uue
quivccal statement of the condition of said institution,
with a resolution attached, advising the college to make

gainst taid college.
Dissident Jchnson, in an able speech, besought tho
Conference to look well into this subject, as it was one of
the gravest importance The proper education of the
youth, who should fill their place in the ministry, was a
matter of infinite M&fty s?©Ut»g* men AtoHiid
him at the pretent, bad been reared within the academic
hail of old Dickinson, aud others w ere waiting for admis
sion. Tho Dumber of individuals who could trace thoir
aspirings to litis place was upwards of nine hundred, and
were to.be found in all the vari d avocations of life.
The committee’s report was then adopted tinani

adopted.
A paper was presented to the Conference containing a
preamble and resolution as follows:
W'Aereas, The position of chaplaincy is an important
and responsible position, and that the Government-is en
titled to all tbe tahxita acd time of an individual thus ap
pointed: therefore,
Resolved, That we disapprove of the appointment of
any member of this body to a station in this city who
sustaiuu such a relation to any Government post.
A motion to lay it upon the table was lost.
The mover of the resolution then made several perti
nent remarks, when Bev Dasbiell moved to take the
qpfijtjpn without further debate. Motion lost.
Rev. John A. Git© rose and stated that, while there
was a general principle involved, it was intended as a
personal affair. He desired to say that a similar course
had been pursued by men iu that body, viz : of holding a
lucrative position under the Government and retaining
their effective relation with the Conference, Bev. Mr.
flicer betas flue «f that number, when chaplain to tho
Senate of the United Slates. He became quite animated,
and spoke with power.

tive years in the eldership be confined to those men ex
clusively whose terms of office expire on a district Lost

both of which were of considerable length
The court of triai upon the coses of Bev. John E.

and do hereby suspend him for the perio * of one year.
The Ram© court of trial reported, al*o« upon the case of
lUv. John Ti Cole, found guilty of immorality and indis
cretion, and by virtue of tbe power entrusted to them do
oxpel him from the Conference.
The session of yesterday closed before tho final vote

The committee on the tract cause made their report,
exhibiting tbe superior value of these messengers of

the valuable results of this operation of spreading
Scriptural holiness, and requesting the reappointment of
Bev. J. France as agent for the Trace Society of the
>l. E. Church.
Tbe time for adjournment having arrived, a motion
was made and adopted stating that we adjourn to meet

EVENING SESSION.
Trayerbyßev. B. 11. Creever, a most appropriate,
sble, and touching appeal to tbo Throne of " heavenly
grace.”
The Bishop requested the Secretary io read the com
mittees for the ensuing year on Visitation of Colleges, Ex
amination, Memoirs, Ac. A vote of thanks was ten
dered to the citizens of Baltimore for their kind hospi
tality, to the Bishop and secretaries for their efficient*
gervices, and to tho presidents of the various railroads
for tteir liberal reduction of fare to and from the Con
ference.
Obituary notices were read; first, that of Bev. James
Ewing, who died full of peace, and in holy triumph.
“ Blessed are tho dead who dio iu the Lord.”
of Bov. fe&mnel B. Dunlap, who, amid all tbe
commotion and dlßtrees caused by our national troubles,
in this city especially, remained calm and undisturbed
until the hour of bis death, when he fell asleep sweetly in
the arms of Jesus.
Bishop Ames then arose to address the Conference, be- !
fore reading the appointments.
11© spoke of tho sajiorioradvantages of th© “ Itinerant
Ss&tein;” how that in agister denomination iu New
England there were four or five hundred church
es without pastors and vice versa, while iu the
Methodist connection every church was supplied, and
every effectivo minister had work, and of the six
thousand pastors iu tho United States, only about thirty
do not go to tbeir work on an average. Be challenged
th© world to produce a plan wrought with more efficiency
ppd harmony. He spoke of the trials they would endure;
acme of xbe charges wero hard ones; but labor diligently, r
and God will requite. No avocation is free from care
and difficulties; meet those in the itinerancy with
courageous hearts* Some of you have pleasant fields;
strive to make them bettor; others are not so ploa
*:<iit; so much more necessity of laboring assiduously.
His syn pathies were not bo much onlisted (though he
knew all about the tiila of an itinerant) for his brethren
as they were for th© families; and this afflicting of fami
lies caused him much anxiety, though the system was
superior to any other in existence.
Be besought them earnestly to be careful of a brother’s
reputation. A u ord spoken, apparently harmless might
hedge up that brother’s way for a twelvemonth.
lit did not censure ambition in young men,(if it was of
the wooer character, Tho Word of God expressly StUd
that th© minister should be careful to covet the beat
gifts.
ho continued to interest and profit, not only those
men of God who had taken upon themrolves tho vows of
the Christian ministry, bat the entire audience for rising
of forty minutes; so that when the appointments wero
mailt, oath «lt VM PI?PSF«i to Kceiva hit charge
with favor, and to go forth ta till the vine yard or tho
Most High. May God prospor them in the arduous
labors of the Christian ministry, and reward them with
eternal lifo« MIRIAM.
