They engaged to observe the monthly concert, and take up
monthly and also annual collections in their congregations, and
apply the proceeds to the support of a laborer in the mountains. On
Sabbath evening the monthly concert was observed, and after stirring
addresses, the contribution amounted to what was for them the very
large sum of fifty-two dollars. Among the offerings were a horse, an
ox, a sheep, a goat, and different articles of jewelry. Arrangements
were made at the conference for the formation of a Protestant
community in Gawar, in accordance with the firman of the sultan. In
all respects the meeting was a rich spiritual festival, and from the
spirit its members manifested, and the progress already made, we may
hope for extensive and important results before many years have
passed away.
