Liberal contribution. --On last Sunday, Rev. Mr. Dickinson, the Superintendent or Baptist Sabbath Schools and Colportage in this State, preached in the Second Baptist Church of this city, and presented the claims of the work which he superintends; but closed by saying that as the times were so hard and the Church had recently raised a large amount, and was still in debt, he did not have the conscience to press a collection. As the benediction was about to be pronounced, H. K. Ellyson, Esq., arose in the congregation and said he was unwilling to leave without making a contribution to the very worthy object to which attention had just been called; that the times would have to become a great deal harder before we could afford to abandon a work which has claims upon every patriot and Christian. The baskets were handed around, and two hundred and seventy five dollars contributed — just a hundred dollars more than was given last year to this same object by this congregation.
