we wish to encourage these to hold on in the path of dedication, to continue to love the Lord, and to desire to know and to do his will.

May these, may all our dear friends, be impressed with the continued necessity of watchfulness unto prayer, and of being clothed with humility, as with a garment. The faithful disciple will guard against relying too much on former experience: he will find that an increase of years produces an increasing conviction that we are entirely dependent upon God for fresh supplies of strength; but he will be animated to persevere, from the consoling hope that if faith and patience continue, Christian virtues will increase; humility, meekness, and liveliness of spirit will be prevalent in advanced life; and a final admission will be granted into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1820. P. E.

counsel.

FINALLY, friends, collectedly and individually, farewell! May all our meetings be held with weight, as in the immediate presence of the heavenly President. May the aged among us be examples of every Christian virtue; and evince, by the calmness of their evening, that their day has been blest. May the middle-aged not faint in their allotted stations; but, together with their elder and younger brethren, firmly support, yea exalt, the several testimonies which we are called to maintain. And O! may the beloved youth, the tender objects of our care, and of our hope, bend early and cheerfully under the forming power of truth that thus, each standing in his allotment, the harmony of the building may be preserved, and we may truly grow up into a holy temple for the Lord. 1799. P. E.
