should take the matter into solid consider
alton, and, if way open, issue such advice
to its subordinate meetings and members
as the magnitude of the subject and the
interesting attitude which it at present
assumes appear to require: and that the
Yearly Meeting should petition Congress
for the abolition of slavery and the slave
trade to the utmost extent of its constitu-
tional jurisdiction.
In conclusion, we would express our
ardent desire that our society may be slim
uIated to increased taithfulness in the sup
port of its testimony against this great evil,
and come up to the work Of the Lord in
the full discharge of the duty we owe to
Him and to this deeply injured portion OF
his children-that we may individually
institute the solemn enquiry whether we
are doing forour suffering brother in bonds
all that we would wish, in like cIrcum
stances, should be done for US: so that in
the day of final account we may hear and
apply the consoIing language, "Inasmuch
as We did it to one Of the least Of these my
brethren, We did it unto me-"
