Christianity above Controversial

1t was Mr.. Webster who gave the follow
ing account of an incident which it is well
to remember at this time:
At the meeting of the first congress there
was doubt in the minds of many of the
propriety of opening the session with pray
er; and the reason assigned was, as here,
the great diversity of opinion and religious
belief. At length Mr. Samuel Adams,
with his gray hairs hanging about his
shoulders, and with an impressive venera-
bleness now seldom to be met with | sup
pose owing to the difference of habits, rose
in that assembly, and with the air of per-
feet Puritan, said that it did not become
men, protesting to be christian men, who
had come together for solemn elaboration
in the hour of their extremity, to say that
there was so wide difference in their re-
ligious belief, that they could not, as one
man, bow the knee in prayer to the Al
mighty, whose advice and assistance they
hoped to obtain. Independent as he was,
and an enemy to all prelacy as he was
known to be, he moved that the Rev. Mr..
Duche, of the Episcopal church, should
address the Throne of Grace in prayer
And John Adams, in letter to his wife,
says that he never saw more moving spec
tacle. Mr.. Duche read the Episcopal SER
vice of the Church Of England, and then,
as if moved by the occasion, he broke out
into extemporaneOus prayer. And those
men, who were then about to resort to force
to obtain their rights, were moved to tears ;
and floods of tears, Mr.. Adams says. ran
down the cheeks of the pacific Quakers who
formedpart of that most interesting assemb-
ly. Depend upon it, where there is spir-
