to the large congregation
outside by its multiform and winged processes, and to the lines
of transportation which have made us the recipients of their
courtesy, we express our great indebtedness with sincere thanks.

And so, in behalf of the members, officers and missionaries and
friends of this great Association, we say once more: We thank
you for your generous entertainment and crave for you the
recompense for such ministering in the name of our Divine
Master.

Rev. J.H. McIlvaine, D.D., of Providence, pastor of the church,
responded.

The Doxology was then sung, and, after the benediction by the
President, the Association adjourned.

HENRY A. HAZEN, Secretary.

FRANK E. JENKINS, Ass't Secretary.
