 of Linebrook for their kind attentions, and also for the use 

 of the church for the purposes of the meeting. After an 

 unanimous adoption, the meeting adjourned. 



The people of Linebrook seemed to have taken a great 

 interest in this meeting ; men, women and children turned 

 out en masse during the day, while at the afternoon meeting 

 there was a large attendance. It was the generally ex- 

 pressed opinion that the gathering was one of more than 

 ordinary interest and enjoyment.
