Dr. , Edwards began by an expression!, of, the deep svmpathy with which he had been .drawn towards such Associations, and in which he';',iis a pastcir had encotiraged 'their orgiLaization and' the enlisting of young, Men , their work, and in keeping with. such an. interest hid ever Watched their pi inciplesan,d vrorks with the closest scratiny..ll4 thought that 'in general it was. fnexpedietitto treat'ineit in separate classes, , and to adopt special methods for the -aged And the - young, the mechanic and the ,scholer, or-.lnany wig to add - to the separation by pew s and other necessary and unavoidable distinctions in the - Qhurch. -Putithen,:in theasigencies of. .thetirnesAniiihnfresent condition of the COUVary,sineethe diabandingof our armies, such Associations were imperative and ne cessary fortthe reaching and influencing - of young men for good..

The evehillit-1 3 t ttiltatet Of.Mettfribtl‘ Ie generally observed, &&,,rerhaps most of our readers know, anamilifbe Ifethodifft nominations as a celebration peculiar to . n theindrilaniiation, and , which ;they- style "Watch Meeting.'; , eyenings number of the Methodist Churches In this vicinity held ; thene. pervices according to the 2 nsuM., custom, all of which we Understand were largely-attebded and' Seemed to be of more than ordinary interest. t• . The origin of the celebration dates far back to the times of the' great founder of Methodism, in 1742, when the first "Watchi .Meeting"-was held in London, under the supervision of John Wesley. Mr. 'Wesley 'it seems hear&that a small company of his flock at Kingswood were in the habit of meeting once a month and spending froth nine •o'clock in the evening until after twelve, in singing, prayer and watching. Struck with the idea' he ; attended one of the meetings and was so impressed with the beauty and • apOopriateness of the exercises, that "Watch Meetings" were instituted by him throughout his denomi nation, and soon became among the most popudat and instructive observanc,es of the church. At first they,were held monthly, but gradually the last evening in the year .became set aside and marked as the most' appropriate occasion for this oti-' servance. In England this' celebra tion. is engaged in I with much ardor and enthusiasm, and forms lone of the geeidesreventaln the calendar of religioriS holidays. - Tor- • weelni lecire , extensive preparations are made. programme of exercises is prepared, 'the- Most' popular preachers secured, and in some cases the chapels are beautifully illuminated and trimmed with evergreens, boxwood and flowers, and at the appointed time old and young, all ages, sexes and classes, gather in their respective chapels and engage with a hearty zest in all the exercises of the cele bration. Anfong a great portion of the membership some of the earliest and most pleasant recollections of a religious life are associated with remembrances of a "Watch Meeting." - In America, wherever it is observed, sev eral congregations generally gather In one church, and the exercises are under the supervision of the ministers from the dif ferent bodies thus represented. The first of the programmeconsists of a sermon, appro.. r priate to the occasion, from the most popu lar and best minister-who may at the time •be available. This is followed-try a prayer meeting or general class meeting, in which persons so desiring may briefly relate their individual religious experiences of the closing year. The sacrament of the Lord's upper is then adthinistered, in accordance with the usual custom of all religious de: nominations: About three or five minutes before twelve o'clock. the entire congrega2, tion kneel and engage in silent prayer, thus solemnly and impressively spending the time between the outgoing of the old and the incoming of the new vear in adoration and supplication before Him who holds the temporal and eternal,deatinies of all lives in the hollow of His hand. - - The hear:of twelve -having passed, the comfregation, still-kneeling, unite: in sing ing what is known as the Consecration Hymn. conttnerteingi•-• • "Come let us use the grace divine wAnd all ith one acitr iaieujoin tturselves to Christ the Lunt At the concluSion of which they rise, and "Watch Meeting" is over, the audience be ing dismissed with the Benediction.
