Dear Friends We are fenfble that
unlels the Lord tlefs the labors of the
Church, its attempts TO edify aud confole
you mutt be in vain but on examining
into the p%refent fate of our religious foci
ETY., we apprehend we have felt a warmth
which warrants. the continued fal.,ation
OF our love ; and we have had our minds
directed TO. divers lubjeds, respecting
which we deem that council is expedient.
Accept therefore, Friends, our falutation !;

inereafe Of fa}enanct, afforded by means
OF thelaf years harysf, at a time when

Of the community at large. We doubt
moi thar there yer remain many who will
