The location of this house more than half
mile from the old spot, excited in the minds
of SOME, fearful apprehensions, lest it should
occasion ruinous division in the society;
while in the minds of others, it was the only
measure that would terminate the unhappy
dissentions which had long disturbed its peace,
and preserve it in any good degree of union
and prosperity. The rapid sale of the pews,
which was principally made in four hours,
for Sc or 700 more than the whole cost of the
house, including the land on which it is E.
rected, strongly indicates growing spirit Of
union, and zeal to support Christian institu-
tons far exceeding the expectation of the
most sanguine. Though the house is spa
cious, containing Sc pews on the floor, still
there were several more applicants than pews.
