Day of Humiliation, etc., in Northern Presbytery.—The Northern Presbytery, out of regard to the Lord’s extraordinary judgments which are upon the earth, and also out of a sense of the many mercies with which His judgments are mingled, have resolved that it was desirable that a special day should be set apart for Fasting, Humiliation, and Thanksgiving at an early date, and have appointed Thursday, the 14th February, for that purpose, and hope that all the congregations within the bounds of the Presbytery will be careful to observe this day.
