The FIRST CONGRESS OF PHILADELPHIA-A
BEAUTIFUL REMINIsCENCE-The following beauti-
Renaissance of the first Congress, is from the
venerable John Adams-
When the Congress met, Mr.. Cushing made n
MOTION that II should be opened with prayer. 1t
was opposed by Mr.. Jay, of New York, and Mr..
Rutege, OF South Carolina, because we were so
divided In religious sentiments some Epscopali'
ans, some Quakers, some Anabaptists, some Pres
by teraRs, and some Congregationalists, that we
could not Join IN the same act OF worship. Mr.
Samuel Adams arose and said, "that he was no
bIgot, and could hear prayer from any gentle.
man OF piety and virtue, who was at the same
time friend to his country. He was stranger
in Phlladelph but had heard that f. Dache,
Oushay, they pronounce lt.) deserved that char
acter, and, therefore, he moved that Mr. Duche,
an Episcopal clergyman, might be desired to re ad
prayers TO Congress tomorrow morning" The
motion was seconded, and passed in the afir-
native. M. Randolph, our President, waited
on Mr. ID. and received for answer that if his
heslth wonld permit, he certainly would Accord
lngly, next morning, he aspeared with his clerk,
and his pontitcials, and read several prayers in
the established iorm,. and then read the psalter
for the seventh day of September, which was the
thirty. fifth psalm. You must remember this was
the next morning after we had heard Of the terri
BILE cannonade of Boston. 1t seemed as if heaven
had ordained that psalm to be read on that morn
ing. After this, Mr.. Duche, Unexpectedly to eve
rybody, struck out into extemporary prayer,
which filled the bosom of every man present.
must confess never heard better prayer. or one
so well pronounced. Episcopalian as he Is, DR..
Cooper himself never prayed with such fervor,
such ardor, such correctness and pathos, and in
language elegant and sublime for America, for
Congress, tor the province of Massachusetts Bay,
and especially for the town Of Boston. 1t had
excellent effect upon everybody here. | must
beg you TO read the psalm. II there is any
faith in the sortes Virgiiann or Homsricp, or es-
pecially the sortes Biblice, it would have been
thought .providential. Here was scene worthy
of the painters art It was Carpenters Hall, in
Philade lphia building which still survives that
the devoted individuals met to whom this service
was read Washington was kneellng there, and
Henry, and Randol ph, and Rutledge, and Lee,
and Jay, and by their side there stood, bowed in
reverence, the Puritan patriots of New England,
who at that moment had reason to believe, that an
armed soldiery was wasting their humble house
holds, twas believed that Boston had been bonn
barded and destroyed. They prayed fervently
''for America, for the Congress, for the province
Of Massachusetts, Bay. and especially for the town
of Boston," and who can realize the emotions
with which they turned imploringly to heaven for
divine lnterposition and a,d' IT was enough, y
says Mr.. Adams, "to melt heart OF stone. !
