Below a list of the names of the members of the committee are printed 4 resolutions made at a meeting held on 10 Dec. [1827?], signed: Jno. Boston, secretary.

The first resolution reads, in part: ... there is no essential difference of opinion among the Presbyterians in these provinces of Upper and Lower Canada with respect to doctrine, worship, or church government; and that any shades of difference which may have divided them in the parent country are, in these colonies, in a great measure, if not wholly, removed. The second resolution reads, in part: ... a letter should be immediately written ... to Doctor Lee, as convener of the committee appointed by the General Assembly of our church to promote the interests of the Presbyterian church in Canada ... impressing on the immediate attention of the committee the importance of promoting union among the Presbyterians of these provinces, by receiving into communion such ministers, not already in communion with the Church of Scotland, as may be found qualified by character and education, and ... disposed to form a connection with the said church.
