There are a number of other subjects I had intended to men- 

 tion, but this report is]already too long, and lest I weary you to 

 excess, will omit them, but feel impelled, in closing, to allude to 

 a thought suggested by the subject last mentioned, that is, what 

 an incentive it should be to earnest, faithful work, that we know 

 not where or when the results of our labors will end. We are 

 too apt to estimate what we accomplish by present results. Active 

 toil will soon cease for us all, but our life's influence will net then 

 be at an end. Its impress will be stamped on those about us, and 

 by them will be given to those beyood. Like the ripple caused 

 by the pebble thrown in the placid lake, its visible effect may 

 seem to end, when the widening circles break on the shore at our 

 feet, but on the other side they are ever extending and will only 

 cease when they reach the other shore. Will they, then?
