fhg all of one heart and of onet fnind , with regard to the abolition of the African slave trade , is not forgotten by a generous minded people . 1 he knowledge of this fact , so honourable to this Society ,
the known advocates of peace and good order , who conscientiously object to such use of arms as may take away life , even in a just quarrel , or a purely defensive war , will have prepared the
public for receiving their appeals on such a subject with attention : And I trust ¦ •* their ^ ymp ^ thy * will in time produce its proper influence . They have much reason
to feel encouragement , on this oc . casion , from the reflection sug * ge * ted by one of the instructive parables of our great Lord and Master . —*• A little leaven

for his gracious assistance : hav . ing ike same Jmth 9 and being baptized with the same baptism . " As this paragraph gives no ex . planation whom it speaks of as *' the Ziord / ' and twice afterwards as " the same Lord , " I feel myself called upon in justice to consider it as speaking of God
the Father ^ seeing those terms have always that meaning in the Scriptures , unless a different application of them is particularly marked * No text is specially re « ferred to in this passage , but the sense of those which are evidently all uded to , lead to ttie same con . clusioq .
