PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY OF THE It is with sentiments of gratitude to God, and with fraternal affection toward our honoured brethren, that we commence our record of the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. This effort to promote oneness of sentiment, purpose, and action, amongst our churches, has been greatly succeeded by the blessing of God, which calls for devout acknowledgments; for it has brought us to know our brethren more intimately, and to appreciate them more highly than we ever did before; and a feeling of strength from united prayers, counsels, and efforts, has grown amongst our churches. And the proceedings of this Assembly afford many topics for sincere congratulations, particularly those statements which were read from the affiliated societies for BRITISH MISSIONS, the resources and operations of which have been so liberally increased during the past year. We regret that the length of the proceedings will not permit us to carry our report in the present number beyond the business of the first day. In our July number (D. V.) we shall complete our record of these deeply interesting proceedings. On Tuesday morning, May 11th, the Rev. RICHARD ELLIOT, of Devizes, Wilts, took the chair at nine o'clock; present, Rev.

Clapton The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by singing the 191st Hymn, Congregational Supplement, "Head of the church, our risen Lord," &c., and then read the 67th Psalm. After which, he offered solemn prayer, and then opened the business of the morning in the following words : Christian brethren, we are now about to proceed to those more immediate engagements which have called us together this day, and, I believe, that we all feel how much we shall need the "spirit of wisdom and of a sound mind." For, if we enter rightly upon these important duties, involving in them, as they do, such immense consequences, we must ever feel our own insufficiency, and it is our encouragement to know, that God himself has said, "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth unto all men liberally and upbraideth not." |
