kiSCELLANEOUS.  187
Mr.  Barrett,  with  a  heart  overflowing  witti  gratitude,  res-
ponded in  a  few  brief  remarks,  thanking  Mr.  Carroll  and
the  Church,  for  this  acknowledgement  of  his  humble  efforts
in  the  past  year.  Mr.  Frederick  Willoughby  then,  in  be-
half of  the  young  people,  presented  Mr.  Barrett  and  lady
with  a  beautiful  photographic  Album,  nearly  filled  with
pictures  and  *'  greenbacks,"  as  a  testimonial  of  their  esteem,
friendship  and  good  will,  towards  one  who  had  ever  been  their
friend  through  weal  or  woe,  in  sunshine  or  darkness,  and
regretted  exceedingly  that  they  were  called  to  part  so  soon.
Mr.  Barrett  was  so  completely  taken  by  surprise,  that  he
was  at  a  loss  for  words  to  thank  his  friends,  but  assured
them,  that  though  absent,  they  would  not  be  forgotten.  On
Thursday  evening  the  adult  members  of  the  Society  pre-
sented ^Irs.  Barrett  with  a  beautiful  rosewood  work  box,
filled  with  all  the  little  trinkets  which  are  so  necessary  and
useful  to  a  lady's  work  table.  Mr.  Barrett  leaves  many
friends  in  this  city  who  will  always  feel  intei-ested  in  his
welfare.
STATE  AND  PROGRESS  OF  THE  CHURCH.
At  each  annual  meeting  of  the  South  Church,  held
in  the  month  of  November  from  year  to  year,  a  Re-
port has  been  presented  by  a  Committee  previously
appointed  for  the  purpose,  on  the  "  State  and  Pro-
gress of  the  Church  "  during  the  twelve  months  im-
mediately preceding.  The  first  two  of  these  Reports,
viz.,  for  the  years  1853  and  1854,  were  given  verbally,
and  therefore  Ave  are  unable  to  quote  any  extracts
therefrom.  The  same  was  the  case  with  the  Report
of  1863.  From  those  of  the  other  nine  years  since
the  organization  of  the  Church,  we  proceed  to  give
extracts,  more  or  less  extended,  as  follows  : —
