Manchester College ^ York . < Proposed Unitarian Chapel , JPeii bourne , near York ., ^ , [ .. ] The following is a brief account of the state of si small congregation of Unit a * rians and . Unitarian Baptists bow exists
ing at Weilboume , a village not far from York . When , by the alteration in die rules of this Institution , the senior students , at the beginning of this session , undertook missions to various places about York , they were introduced to this village by John Mason , an Unitarian Baptist , whose
humble but zealous exertions in this neighbourhood have been attended with the greatest success . In the villages round York , he has not only set on foot small societies of Unitarian Baptists , but succeeded in turning several , as well from
speculative error , as from the paths of vice to purity and holiness of life . At Wellbourne he had established a society , highly respectable in point of number , and by his means the students were in * - troduced to the village * < Through the whole of this session their services have
been received in the place with a degree of gratitude , interest and affection from this humble but worthy society , which can be estimated only by those who , having spent the Sunday among them , have witnessed their zeal in the cause of religion , and their exemplary Christian cha * - racter . The services have been conducted
in a small and inconvenient too in belonging to one of the members , which , with the adjoining , has been often crowded td excess . With the cordial exertion and assistance tif many of the members
a Sunday-schobl has been established there ; and in . a very small room , but thfc only one to be had for the purpose fbi * the last three months , upwards of 70 or 80 children have regularly received
instruction . 'There cannot , we conceive , foe at stronger exemplification of the truth that Unitarianisio is the religion for the poor- ; though its aspect may be exceedingly different in most of the wealthy towns in this * country . And they who * am iate *»
rested in the spread of religious truth , and > can estimate the value of a -simple but solid apd practical faith to those wh © iBdst need its influence , will be delighted to find that Utiitarianlsm has taken deep root , mid flourished in a village , where the ordinarily popular sects . Methodists
