at this meeting , took into consideration the subject , to which the attention of the Unitarian public has been already invited by two letters in the Repository , respecting the adoption of some permanent means , to provide small bodies of Unitarians , with religious instruction . A Resolution was passed unanimously , that it was expedient to form a Society to promote the
preaching of Unitarianism in the South of England . A Committee was chosen ( to consider the best means for carrying the Resolution into effect ;) which consists of all ' the ministers in
connexion with the Southern Unitarian Society , with one member from each of the congregations , in the various places which are included in the limits to which the annual visits of this Society extend . Before this article meets

July , at Tavistock . On the evening preceding Dr . Carpenter preached in the Abbey Chapel ; and on the day of the Association , Mr . Lewis of Creditou , delivered an excellent discourse
from the answer of our Lord to his disciples , who wished to call down fire from heaven upon the people of of Samaria , who refused to receive their doctrine , "Ye know not what spirit ye are of . " The meeting- was more numerous than was expected in so small and distant a town , and the state of the Society was found to be more flourishing : than could have been calculated upon at the expiration of its first ear .
