The Unitarian Congregation at Lynn take this opportunity of laying before their Unitarian brethren the following statement of their affairs ^ with the hope of being assisted to extricate themselves from their present difficulties . This Society , in consequence of several unpleasant circumstances , was so reduced at the close of 1822 , that it was- thought advisable by
many to close the Chapel . A few , however , united in the determination of making another effort by inviting a person who was well known to them , and who was fully aware of the circumstances which had reduced their cause . This measure , if not so successful as they could have wished , has , at least , been as much so as they could have expected ^ and they now cherish the hope , that ultimate success will , under the Divine blessing , crown their efforts .
As they were considerably in debt , and the individual they invited had a large family , and ' resigned a permanent income to accept the situation , they were obliged , during the first year , to increase their debtj but , as he has established a school , this will not be the case in future .
In consequence of these circumstances , the Society , in the course of the past year , forwarded a . statement of their case to many of our Congregations , and now proceed to lay before the Unitarian public the result of that appeal .
While they offer their sincere acknowledgments to those societies and individuals who have already assisted them , they beg to invite the attention of those who have not been solicited , to the following statement of their remaining debt . Lynn , April , 1824 .
