In striking contrast with the glad some nnd felicitous nlr which has In variably pervaded the annual meetings of tho Second Prosbyterlnn church, was tho depression which nttended that of last night, when the wonted Joy-Inspiring annual reports were so completely overshadowed by the. con templation of the fact that, nn the chairman's table, rested the resigna tion of tho beloved pastor, whoso ministrations of former years had so thoroughly won the heart of every 0110 of his flock. As report after report was read, and each nf tho various church so cieties attested the untiring and zeal oiiti efforts of Dr, nnd Mrs. lloblnson townids the advancement of the par ticular lino of work the society es sayed, t'o los that was about to come on the (.'hurch by the severance of Dr. Boblnson's pastorate was made tho more emphatic.
