ed to undertake , rn the course of the ensuing summer , a mission to the North of Scotland ; and that the Rev . James Yates be likewise requested to undertake a mission to the West . " f That the General Association of the
Unitarians of Scotland , earnestly and respectfully repeat the request made by their Committee last year , to the Rev . John Grundy , of Manchester , to preach the next Anniversary Sermon . "
The thanks of the Society were also * oted to the Edinburgh , Glasgow , and Paisley Unitarian Association Funds , for their different donations , and particularly to the Glasgow Fund , for several donations of books . The next General Annual
Meeting was appointed to be held at Glasgow , on Sunday and Monday , May 6 th and 7 th , 1816 ; and the thanks of the Society having been unanimously given to the Chairman , for his able conduct in the chair , the Meeting adjourned . At five o ' clock gome of the friends and
subscribers to the institution dined together at M'Ewen ' s Rooms , Royal Exchange . Forty-nine gentlemen sat down to dinncfr . The Honourable Douglas Gordon Hallyburton ia the chair . After the dinner , one hundred and thirty-fire copies of Mr . Yates ' s sermon were subscribed for . and
the company separated at an early hour , every individual appearing * to be impressed with the desire of supporting , to the utmost of his power the objects of the institution . In contemplating the effects already produced by this institution , we cannot but nope that by the distribution of the numerous tracts it has been the means of
circulating , much information has been diffused , and much prejudice removed . It is upon the diffusion of works containing a calm , dispassionate and popular exhibition of our principles , that we must chiefly depend for their more general establishment . We hope , also , the institution has been the cause , in many places , of exciting a
considerable degree of attention to the great doctrines it is labouring to promote , and of producing a much greater union than ever before existed among the friends to the pure and benevolent principles of Unitarianism in Scotland . Union is strength . Adopting the same views of the character and government of the Deity , of the proper
object of religious worship , and of the ultimate destiny of man , let every lesser difference be forgotten ; let it be the study of every individual to contribute what he can , at all times , and by all just means , towards the promotion of oer common faith . If this
be our study and aim , neither the calumnies of the bigoted and unprincipled , nor the well-meant opposition of the conscientious , will prevent the progress of the truth . With union among each other , with benevolence to our fellow-creatures in our hearts , with prudence for our guide , and
