for these evils, under God, is to be fount
only in a recurrence. to those principle:
and duties of our Holy Religion, which
are not less conducive to the temporal
welfare Of man, than to their eternal hap
Plness: and they have no hope that gen.
eral prosperity can be restored to our
country, until there is return to those
habits OF industry, temperance, modera-
ton, economy and general virtue, which
our common Christianity inculcates.
Under these impressions, the Assembly
would earnestly exhort the Churches and
people under their care, to take into due
consideration the opinions above express
ed; to cultivate 10 themselves, and to en-
deavour TO promote in others, those SIM
pie, frugal and regular pursuits, which
cannot fail to exert moot benign influence
on the best interests of society and to
train up their children in those principles
and habits which will prepare them, at
once, TO be useful members Of the church
and useful citizens. They would, espe-
cially, intreat those individuals and fami-
lies belonging to their communion, whom
God has been pleased to favour with tenn
porai wealth, TO consider the peculiar
importance Of their setting an edifying
example; SO that their whole influence
may be employed to discourage fashiona-
BILE vices and amusements, and TO promote
the simplicity and purity Of Christian
practice. And the Assembly would, also,
earnestly exhort all the Ministers in their
communion to make these sentiments SUBJ
ject of frequent and serious address to the
people Of their respective pastoral char.
ges; and TO endeavour, by all the means
in their power, to impress on the minds
of their hearers, an all important truth,
that the religion of Jesus Christ, 10 its
vital power and practical Influence, is the
best friend of civil society, as we'll as es-
sential to the eternal well being of man."
