prayer to God to prosper their active , well-tempered zeal to diffuse ^ after the example of Christ , antl m conjunction with the London and other country societies of the kind , the knowledge of , and the sole exercise of worship due to the " one living and true God , the Father , ' through the whole human race , by the distribution of appropriate tracts on the subject . The
Unitarian Fund Society is also worthy of all praise for setting apart a portion of it for the support of preachers among the dissent ters on the Unitarian plan .
