Fifty cultivated, pious, and reasonable persons have, for a year
past, met every Sunday in a large commercial town. They have prayers,
and then a member of the society gives a discourse. They afterwards
dine, and a collection for the poor is made after dinner. Each
presides in turn, and it is the duty of the president to offer the
prayer and give the sermon. Here are one of the prayers and one of
the sermons.
If the seed of these words fall on good soil, it will assuredly bear
fruit.
