venture, with safety, to trespass for moment
upon your indulgence. Prompted by desire 10
honor God, we are engaged as you are aware,
in the erection of new Church edifce This
enterprise is not designed to invade any other
communion, or to interfere with any other organ
lied congregation, but from the ,n,appyop,iated
materials which are yet lying, as it were, in the
open field, to rear spiritual superstrnciure to the
honor of jehovah S name. Thus far God and the
people have smiled upon our efforts, and our
Church edfce is now enclosed. But we need
further aid, and the ladies who in part compose
the congregation, will commence a Festival on
Monday evening next, in Iodd's Concert Hall.
for the sale of Fancy and useful articles and Re
freshments. May | not solicit from you a smile
of encouragement Be assured that any sub
