of G d—upon general or common utility, and your
own interest, and make no doubt that wherever there
is true religion, it wi l be heard and complied with.
We look upon it as a very happy circumflance in
the political revolution that has happened in Ameri
ca, that neither in its rife nor progress was it inter
mixed or directed by religious conttoverfy. No de
nomination of Christians among us have any reason to
fear oppression or restraint, or any power to oppress
others. We therefore recommend charity, forbear
ance, and mutual service. Let the great and ony
flrife e who (hall love the Redeemer mod, and ^vho
shall serve him with the greatest zeal. We recom
mend the flria exercise of discipline to the societies
under our care. Let us not seek to increase our num
bers by relaxation, but to juftjfy the excellence of our
principle's by the inoffenfive, examplary and holy con
versation of those who embrace them. The ultimate
trial of religious truth is by its moral influence, there
fore, as he is undoubtedly the best husbandman who
raises the riches lcrops, so these are the best principles,
which make the best men. This is the great rule
laid down by our Saviour, by their fruits ye (hall
know therp) By Order,
JOHN M'CRERY, Moderator.
