“Tell us Godspeed, and we are glad to get rid of you.”  Dr. Seaver felt that the local people were the recipients, and the visitors the benefactors in what had been done.  The President had inspired them with his spirit; he had not withdrawn his presence, and very late might he return to the heavens.  Students and young ministers had been benefited by listening to those many learned men and devoted servants of God, and were inspired for future usefulness.  “We are not the benefactors, we are the recipients, and we wish you Godspeed.”

After having sung the doxology, with the benediction by President Taylor, the Association adjourned, to meet at Northampton, Massachusetts, for its next Annual Meeting.
