rv benevolent heart, if the duty of the
Clergy could be so conduced by itspro
iefibrs a-; to preclude the needfity of inter
ruption or reply. Providence, who knows
ofcitancy of our zeal lias not afttd so
j irtialiy ns to leave us no other than cleri
i r.l correction, but has thickly incorpora
t'd iour exift.mce, ufefui mementoes and
admonitions and inch falutarv shocks as
r-cnls us a>- every instant to feif recollec
iion and fileut remorse. The operation
id these correctives wiil ever be propor
*;nned to the degree of principle inculcated
in the mind bv early education, having
therefore been taught to regard pulpit lec
tures with that reverential awe infeperable
from the contemplation of the great om
uifeient; it becomes a source of corroding
pain, when the enufe of religion is there a
t' ’.doned and erroneous and pompous
j’.inegyiic o.u a mm or a nation, flows
from the lips of one to whom we look for
an impartial vindication of “ the ways of
G 'd to mm.”
When 1 fee parochial dignity thus railed
in rebellion against the feelings of every
American, and against that government
h affords equal protection to all its
cbizens, I am tempted to repine at the
diftinftion paid totheprofeffbrs ofreligion,
rt.d almost regret the poflefGon of an in
strument, so easily handled to our destruc
tion. it would be stretching my thouglits
over too wide r field at present, to colleft
together the different affirmative qualifica
tions neceflary to constitute the good cler

No certain accounts of any meeting be
