    It is the fashion , in certain professions , for their members not to offer tjifcir services by public advertisement ; The medical practitioner , by advertising , would be ia danger of being called a charlatan , a quack . But that any idea of disresputable conduct , in those devoted men , who think it thei

    their duty t&nad ^ ressf r feilow-mortals on the subjects affectiog their happiness beyond the grave , can attach to advertising , in everj possible way , their ministerial prospects , seems most abturdi "la seaBor * , and out of

    the wind will blow , m the time which man hath not yet seen . I think I never knew an instance of a desire being expressed for such meeting as the advertised one at Yarmouth , save by some of the

    « « Mm * jm approved ministers . The first Quakers , Jike Jesus , and Peter , and Philip , did not wait in their missionary services , for the approbation or unity , and testificatory recommendation of tbeiF

    brethren ; and , in the beginning the acknowledgement , the pro fession of their simple principle spread abroad with unexampled rapidity * Churches were gathered in many places which now knoS ^ them no more . The Friends
