paper was urged by some members of Medford church who call themselves aggrieved. The council refused to hear it, for reasons offered by Mr. Osgood. It was desired by the aggrieved that a certain contest between Mr. Osgood and Captain Adams should be considered; but this was refused, as it appeared to be an article which had been laid before the council at Boxford, and concerning which they had judged and determined. It was then voted by the council to hear a sermon of Mr. Osgood's on Eph. II. 2; which was objected against, as containing doctrines of pernicious tendency. The council, upon hearing it, judged it to be sound and orthodox. Mr. Osgood then delivered the following confession of his faith, which was well approved:-- I believe that there is one only living and true God, whose being and perfections are eternally and necessarily existent, immutable, and independent; of whom as their primary efficient cause, and through whom as their sole preserver, governor,

Feeling delicate about depriving him of such valuable relics, I accepted the earrings al

ignation, are far better than the greatest abundance and highest honors without it; for these can never give that peace of mind which the other can never want. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matt. XVI: 30. Let the world imagine to itself a magnificent Deity, whose government is only general; the Christian rejoices in his providential superintendence of the smallest matters. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Eph. VI: 17. It was a two-edged blade, Of heavenly temper keen, And double were the wounds it made Where'er it glanced between. 'Twas death to sin-'twas life To all who mourned for sin; It kindled and it silenced strife- Made war and peace within.
