Glasgow

A meeting of the different branches in the Glasgow conference took place in the Odd Fellow's Hall, 175, Trongate, on Sunday the 31st of August, 1845.

The meeting was called to order by elder Banks, and opened by singing and prayer.

Elder M'Cue presided, and Walter Thompson was appointed clerk, assisted by Thos. B. Stenhouse.

President M'Cue addressed the saints on the progress of the work of God, and rejoiced much in the same. The number of officers present: 2 high priests, 1 seventy, 25 elders, 25 priests, 16 teachers, 10 deacons.

The representation of the different branches was then attended to, the total number being 1148 members, including 1 high priest, 39 elders, 49 priests, 37 teachers, 25 deacons; 58 being added by baptism since last conference.

The branches in general, were represented to be in a flourishing and healthy condition. The meeting throughout was very harmonious-the principle of love flowed copiously amongst the Saints. Elder Houston took an affectionate farewell of the brethren, on his leaving them for Nauvoo; also elder Shields took his leave of the brethren, and bore his testimony to the work of God, and craved the prayers of the saints, that he might be upheld in his mission to the Sister Isle.

Elder Banks preached in the evening to a crowded house and very attentive audience. Subject -The Marriage of the Lamb, -which was handled in a most eloquent, affecting, and impressive manner, to the astonishment of strangers, and rejoicing of the Saints.

I am, your very humble brother,

PETER M'CUE.
