Mr . Harris replied in his own name , and in behalf of the friends
who acted with him , that they deeply regretted there should be any divisions , that they rejoiced in the prospect that a cordial union would be effected , and that gladly would they present the right hand of Christian fellowship to all their brethren . Shortly after , the Rev , William Hincks came to the meeting , and
addressed the company in very eloquent terms , on the disgrace to Christianity , and the injury effected , and the absurdity and injustice implied in the prosecution of Unbelievers , and stated that he held in his hand petitions prepared by " the Unitarian Association , " to be presented to the legislature , pointing out the folly and reprobating the practice of such
prosecutions . Many persons attached their signature to the petitions . On the motion of the Rev . Robert Cree , seconded by the Rev . Henry Clarke , it was unanimously resolved , to request Mr .

Annual Association of Methodist Unitarians . On Friday , May 23 d , w ^ s held at Oldham , the Annual Association of the M 0 ~ thodLst Unitarians of Rosseudale . Hie day was unusually wet , yet th < re was a good attendance * In the jnorning the
Rev . G . Harris , of Bolton , delivered a most pathetically impressive discourse , " on the Important Uses of Affliction , if accompanied by Genuine Religion , and correct and worthy Notions of the Deity *" H . Clarke , of Haslingden , conducted the devotional part . After the service , a large party , male and female , sat down to an economical dinner at the Nelson ' s
Ball Tavern . The cloth being drawn , Mr . Harris took the Chair , when reports of the state of the Societies in connexion were given . Mr . Wilkinson said the cause in Oldham was upon the whole improving . A good Sunday-School was connected with the chapel , and the debt" had
been somewhat lessened . He was of opinion , that could means be devised to enable a minister to reside in the town , the interests of the Society would be very materially promoted , and the cause much nlore rapidly advanced . Mr . Taylor" stated that the cause in Rochdale was in as
favourable a state as could be expected . Their Sunday-School went on well . At Lanehead , a village two miles distant ^ they had about one hundred scholars , and they were about to build a school-room there , which was also to be used for religious worship . Mr . Ash worth reported that since last Association the chapel at
Newchurch had been considerably enlarged , and yet it was as well filled as before . About three hundred children were educated in the Sunday-school , aaid every member of the congregation , male and female , that could possibly do- so-, assisted in the good work . Mr . Clarke stated , that the cause at Todmorden
presented a very flattering appearance * The congregation had commenced building a chapel , ' 17 yards by 12 yards , which was estimated to cost about seveu hundred pounds , toward * * li icfc Jhey fc ^ d raise d among themsfelvefl * f ( kir hundred . €€ It
might be asked , " said JWr , . C » , " why they build so large a chapel in so s ^ nall a -towp , ' wftere ; tort , there are tftu * or dvfe ^ rth ^ r places of worship .
