1 let the mare alone. If your minister starts l new lde, be sure to charge him with dangerous l Innovations; or if he breaches an old sermon once in while, Gas all ministers do, ) lay told of that and trumpet 1t, and make the most of it.
 But you must not think to confine your talk to the mere character and performances of ! your minister. This will not give you scope enough. Make the. people believe if you can, that his preaching is uuproftabe; that they are not ediied and this will be no difficult matter. The probability is, that many are not edifed nor would they be-under the preach. ing Of aa angel. Some do not know what the word ea:fy means :; and of course cannot tell whether they are edifed or not Tlis-wlI be capital string to pull and you must keep pulling it tillit is fairly worn out.
 You can say to some, that however good the minister may be, his useJ lness is at an cnd The church aud Society is running down, and will soon come to nothing and ugh you
 nay know that this is false, aud they might know it if they had any eyes, yet the story VIII make all impression, some people will be. leve it, whether you do or not
 You will know from what has been said. what l mean by the two words, acatch and talk, lay great stress upon these. But t laay not be prudent to go further into particu- lars uow, lest possible what have written may at some time get wnd and see the light. You will not long pursue my directions be- fore you will ind others beginning to sympa. taise. They will think and talk much as you do, aud now you must flatter such persons. and make the most of them. You must assure taen that they are men of great discernmsnt, of e,eetsat uNaefstlaGans, and that if all in the parish We're as wise as they the object in view would be soon attained. s
 As Sooa as you can get half dozen to join you, then orgainizc aud begin to have meetings invite others to come in only De rsry carsfa! acho yca inrite, and if anything is said about your meeting, besure to magnify it's members and importance. If there were ten present, say there were twenty ; ard if half of !'hem favored your object, say that they all did As said before, the lie will do excellent service. It will hayc its effect before it is found out-an effect which will not be lost afterwards
 At this stage of the business you may get up paper requesting your minister to ask disnlSSon, l.,c. gf yon eam get sigaers enough, or you may send d committee to him with the same request More likely than not you will is this way frightcn the good man and induce him to resign at once, or if he should not. then you can make great handle of that, insisting that any man who had one particle of self re, Spcct, would not consent to people when the :sors intelligent and respectable part of them had requested him to withdraw 1! At any rate you must continue to aoatch and taM Talk something to his disadvantage, true or false. and make as much noise as you can-the more noise the better taking care meanwhile, to lay off al the blame upon the minister; insist. hll: that all would only resign and withdraw. You may wish to know whether it is better for any cf your number to leave the church and society. As general thing, should say it 1as not because yon can operate to much better advantage in the society than out of it still if there is d prospect of your making great impression by leaving and frightening those who arc leIt into submission, it may be well to leave. You will keep in mind, howev- CT, thai you are not to step talking when you have left tie society. Keep mp the din aud the noise whether yon are out of the society or in t. and your minister must De very remark able man if he can stand your artillery long ten to .o2e he will fall before it but if he should not you shall hear from me again As write professionally you will remit the custom tonary fee. 1 will not burthen you witt. too much good counsel and advice at once.
 Yours in sympathy and love,
