The Religious Amendment.
By Uriah Smith
We noticed last week the fact that the Religious Amendmentists had taken steps to become incorporated in law, under the name of “National Reform Association.” The next National Convention will be held in Philadelphia, on the 28th, 29th, and 30th days of June next. The Academy of music has been secured for173the evening sessions, and the Horticultural Hall, adjoining it, for the day sessions. These are the two largest audience rooms to be found in the city, the former being capable of seating three thousand, and the latter, two thousand, persons. Among the reasons for changing the time from the last of September as heretofore announced, to the last of June, the following are urged:— “The extreme forwardness of the arrangements for the Centennial Exhibition, rendering it certain that the early stages of the celebration will be as attractive as the latter, the inability of professors and students in Colleges to attend at the later date, and the fact that those who attend the Convention at the close of June, can remain to witness the imposing civic and military celebration of the Fourth of July, were among the reasons for this change.”
