The public service took place in the evening. Brother Burt, the pastor,

and spoke on "Perseverance in doing Good." Brother Burnett followed him
in prayer, and mentioned some of "The principal Sources of Encouragement
and Consolation." Brother Yarnold succeeded him in prayer, and
illustrated "The Practical Influence of the Gospel." Brother Ford
addressed the Divine Majesty, and made some remarks "On the Importance
of Growing in Grace." Brother Adams, also, offered supplication, and
showed the intimate connexion between doctrinal and practical godliness.
And brother Draper closed the protracted but interesting services of the
evening, by prayer, and a brief address "On the Blessings entreated for
the Ephesians by the Apostle,--that they might 'know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge; and be filled with all the fulness of God.'"
