THE EPISTLE,
FROM THE YEARLY MEETING,
Held in London, by adjournments, from
the 18th of the Filth Mouth, to the
27th of the same inclusive, 1831,
To theQuartedy und Monthly Meetings of Priends
in Great-Uritain, Ireland; and elsewhere.,
I Dean Friexps,—Feeling our hearts
'wurmml with love towards our brethren
cand sisters, wherever situated, we do not
hesitate again to salute you; and to ex-
Iprcss our desire and prayer, that grace
cand peace may be multiplicd unto you
ll'rom God our Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ,
' Wenave again to rejoice in the con
descendon of the Great Head of the
Church: for, while we have found abun -
dant case for humiliation, in the defic
iencies vhich continue to prevail among st
‘us, we nay gratefully acknowledge that
HE his not cast ofi his unworthy chil
dren, He has enabled us to conduct the
;l)usin(ss which has come before us in
love wnd harmony, and has graciously
bestowed upon us a solemn and refresh
ing sense of his mercy. We have re-
Iccivud an Ypistle from our dear brethren
in Ireland, and one from each of the
IYC:II'I)’ Mectings of our friends in North
Aumerica; and have been comforted by
these renewed tokens of Christian affee
tion. The Epistles from our friends in
America afford an evidence of their con
tinued zeal for the cause of Christ; yet
we deeply sympathize with them in the |
trials to which they are still exposed, and
desire to commend them to the grace and
goodness of God, |
Whilst thus assembled in large num
bers, we have been led to feel for those
of our dear friends who are scattered in
soltary places, and who are accustomed
to meet for the purpose of worship i ve
ry small companies. May sich be en
couraged to a persevering diligence in
the performance of this Christian duty.
1t is consoling to remember, that God is
icvor_v where present to bless his faithful
children, and that our holy Redeemer
manifests himselt by his spirit, to the two
or three who are gathered together in!
his name, Mauy valuable members of
our society have been trained fo: useful
ness; by the Divine hand in very seclu
ded situations; and the copsistent exam-
ple even of a solitary individual may be
of great mse in promoting the cause of
truth and righteousness, As such en
“deavor to maintain their religious princi- |
ples faithiully, others may in the end
gather round them. 1
~ Our well-known practice of assembling
for worship at an appointed time during
the week, besides the first day, has again|
been a subject of religious exercise
‘amongst us, Thus to leave our outward
concerns, in humble dependence upon
God, and, in solenm silence, to wait to
gether upon Him, we believe to be ac
ceptable to our Heavenly Father, and
eminently calculated to promote our re-|
ligious edification. We desire to encour- !
age our dear friends every where, to a
diligent attendance of these mectings:
the neglect of them is an affeeting indi
cation of a luke warm mind; and there is/
surely great danger that we shall hinder
our religions progress, iff we refuse to
avail ourselves of so valuable a privi
lege. |
‘ We would remind our beloved brclh-I_
ren, that unless we are pressing forward |
towards Zion, the city ot'the living God, '
we may soon lose our remaining strength
and become immersed in the spirit of the
world. How carnestly will they whofl
are sceking to make progress in the spir
itual course, ask and wait for that holy
aid whizh constitutes the life & strength
of the renewed soul It was by a con- |
stant relerence to the Spirit of Christ in
the heart, that our early predecessors
were enabled to support their Christian
testimonies under severe persecuticn; as
well as to maintain that standard of
Christian principle by which they obtain
ed, from those who injured them, so high
a character for strict veracity and integ
rity in all *heir transactions, We en
treat you,dear friends, to consider wheth
er the Lord is not requiring of us, individ
ually, a fuller surrender of the natural
will, a greater degree of decision in giv
ing up all for Christ, and a more ardent
pursuit of heavenly things, “If ye then
be risen with Christy seck those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God.” l
A just view and full belief of the as
tonishing faet; that God sent his only be
gotten Son into the world to save us, is
we believe suited, beyond all other
things, under the power of the Holy
Spirit, to humble us 1n a sense of our own |
corruption, and to exeite in our minds
fervent gratitude towards the Author of
all good. Under the influence of this
gratitude, may we all devote ourselves
without reserve to the service of our Re- |
deemer! When love for Christ has ex
pelled from our hearts the love of the
world, we shall no longer go halting on |

under our care, both by example and
precept, i a religious lite and conversa
tion, conszistent with our Christian pro
fessiony is a duty of a very serious na
ture. We beseech our dear friends to
refleet on its vast importance, and in or
der to perform it rightly, to press afior
true godliness. Never shall we be found
faithtul stewards in this respect, until we
are ourselves men of prayer, weaned
from the spirit of the world, and walking
in the reverent fear of God our Father,
We have, on the present occasion,
deeply felt the loss ol some of our be
loved friends, lately removed by death,
whose lubors were greatly esteemed a
mongst us, and who, we humbly believe,
have entered into thetr rest, Our hearts
are also turned in Christian sympathy to
those who, by their increasing mtirmi
tics, are prevented from giving us their
company. We highly value that travail
of soul which our c¢lder brethren and sis
ters in the Lord (now that their day of
active scrviee s nearly over) are main
tainng for the good of the church, and
its preservation in Christian purity; we
honor them for thew work’s sake, —We
tenderly desire that now, in the evening
Lot life, they may partake of the rich con
solations which are in Clrist Jesus; and
that, bemg preserved in faith® and pa
tience unto the end, whilst they have to
say with the Psalmist; “My flesh and
my heart faileth,” they may adopt (he
language, “but God is the strength of
‘my hearty and my portion torever,” I
To our young friends particularly, we
would atfectionately recommend a fre
quent recurrence to the first principles of
our religious profession, which we con
sider to be those of pure (.'llri.s't'mnity.—|
‘Ao establishiient in these principles
would, we believe, preserve us consists
‘ent both in faith and practice, and pre
| vent onr being improperly moved, by the
varying notions which are so common in
‘the present day. We long to impress
‘upon you, dear your friends, the beauty
and value of an early and of unreserved
dedication of yourselves to God: culti
vate a tender and enlichtened conscience
and obey His law with all sincerity.
Be faithful in maintaining your plain-/
ness ot speech, behaviour, and apparel
=—Chenish those wholesome restraints of
‘a guarded and relizious education, of
‘which the evident tendency is to keep
'you out of the way of evil.—We intreat
'you to avoid speculation and disputation
on religions sabjects; far these will hin
der stead ol promoting your growth in
grace. Letall your conversations on the
sacred truths of the Gospel, be conduct
ed under a due sense of their importance,
‘and in the true fear of God. Carefully
peruse the Holy Scriptures, and medi
tate upon them in private. Above all,/
delight yourselves in communion with
God; and lead a lite of prayer; then will
the blessed word of promise be yours,|

shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty.” I

little exception, Friends continue to bear
a faithful and Christian testimony against.

siastical demands. The amount of dis
traints made upon the members of our
Society for these claims, during the last,
year, as reported to this Meeting, is Up-I
wards of fourteen thousand two hundred
pounds, May we ever bear in mind the
ground of our testimony against the anti
christian wnposition of tithes, and be
steadfast and consistent in upholding our
views of the spirituality and freedom of
the ministry ot the Gospel, We consid
er those views to be founded on the very
nature of the Christian dispensation, as
well as on the plain command of Christ,
“Freely ye have received, freely give.”
Our testimony on this subject ils purely
Christian; and hence it becomes lli;_rthl
important, that in all our proceedings for
its maintenance, we should act as be
cometh our high profession, and by the
meekness and consistency of our con-|
duct, exalt i* in the sight of those with
whom we associate, We are much im
pressed with the beliet that in this undl
other respects, there is more than a com
mon call on the Charrstian for watchful-,l

as relates both to religion and politics:

The procession moved to the place of
Cinterment, where an eloquent and just
eulogy on the deceazed was delivered
by Robert MeClellan, Esq. of Middle

Atter the eulogy, Robert W, Mur
phy, Esq. of Renssclaerville, addressed

history of the life of the deccased, and

which he had received from various
sources and at ditferent periods, testi

patnotisim and fidelity,
Afier an address to the throne of grace
by the Rev. Mr. Smith, the mortal re
mains of David Wiiliams were consigned
to their native dust,
In the course of his address, Mr. Mur
phy stated that he was largely ind bted
to the benevolence of the deceased; that

had taken him under his charge and
had reared him. Among the testimoni

token of their regard for the important
service which he in connexion with his
assoclates, rendered to his country in
arresting and detaining Major Andre ;
and us a mark of the high esteem which
they entertained for his patictism and
fidelity. A similar medal was at the
same time presented to Van Wart and
Paulding his associates. On cne side
of his medal was inscribed the significant
and appropriate word “Friendly;” and
on the opposite side of the motto, “Awmor
patria vincet.” This present was high
