Os a IVteklt/ Publication,
To BE ENTITLED Tilß
RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY.
BY W. A. KIND
George town, (Dist. rs Columbia )
THE Editor begs leave to
offer this work 10 the attention
and patronage of the Method*
isr Society in particular, not
only bacaule it is thought pro.
per 10 give it a clc ciJcd charac
ter, hoi bccaufc ihe connexion
a pc.ilcnt have no religious ve
hicle of the kind, nor have the\
had (inee the difroniiuuance of
their Magazine, which was pub
lillv d some yenrs ago.
B <th the Pit (bvtciians and
E ( tlcopalians have under their
paironagt monthly publications
devoted to the fame fubjefls
propoled to be embraced by
his work.
The Editor, however, flatters
himfeif that this publication will
po fie Is fotne advantages over
thofethat arc only ifitted month
Iy, in furtufhing early religious
intelligence, and he hopes it will
afford greater fatisfatlion to
readers in general, as in fueh
works die fame tubjetls andac.
counts are contit tied in a ieries
of numbers.
But (ince this woik is to he
d .voted to the intcrell of re!i
''gum, both in its doctrine and
experience, and will likcwife in
elude the fubjc6t of morality,
vc think it entitled to the grea
ter attention; and wewifh it to
he difiinbtlv under Hood, that a>
it has for its object the ditlu lion
of religious information, the
fuhjeft of potiiici will not be
introduced.
In the leriptiite sense of the
term, embraces not on
ly what we aie to believe, but
more efpeciallv what we muff
i x erience of its great truths in
our hearts. Morality implies,
not on’y that men should do no
harm, but that they should be
actively and zealoufiy engaged
in atl* of benevolence Sc works
ol right*oufnefv. It would then
appear that religion conlitts in
what we believe Sc experience,
and morality it* that faith and
expeiience reduced into prac.
tice. True religion and nu>r.
a ‘it v go hand in hand, and mu
tuallv /uppnrt each oihcr.—
M’here theie is not morality,
iheie cannot be religion, and
we arc disposed to think lilcwdc
there cannot be genuine niotal*
