The ** FellowsUjo Fun dYr is institvited chiefly on the suggestion of Dr . ThomsoDj of Halifax , in a late number of The Monthly Repository , * ancl
in a general agreement with the rules which he T > as there recommended . While it furnishes ( as ity laws will shew ) an easy , convenient , and economical method of aiding the diffusion of Unitarian principles and worship , it can scarcely fail of answering ends of great importance
in regard to the several congregations among whom it is established . The concurrence of the members of our religious societies , in active and benevolent exertions , advances the grand objects for which those sopieties are formed : and every scheme vvhich mutually cements the individuals
composing our congregations , every scheme which increases their united watchfulness and zeal , is favourable to their permanence and prosperity as ^ body , and must therefore be deserving of support . : , For these reasons , the per § on _ s who have already enrolled themselves as subscribers to this " Fellowship ' Fund , " affect ion a tcly and earnestly
invite the respective members of tnc society of the New Meeting . House ^ to follow their example- .
