After two verses had been sung, the venerable J. A. JONES, of Jireh Chapel, addressed the meeting upon "The Encouragements of Scripture to Pastors." He said that he could testify to the honour of God, that, after being engaged upwards of fifty years in the work of the ministry, he has been upheld to this day. The special encouragement of the pastor was, however, that of seeing the Lord's work prospering in the conversion of souls. After relating one or two encouraging incidents which had come under his own observation, he resumed his seat.
