reference TO slavery, so as to change the terms
OF membership.
Resolved, That we sincerely deprecate all
agitation on the exciting subjects which have
unhappily divided the Church and impressed
with the vital importance, especially for these
times, OF the Apostolic injunction, ssBe al
peace among yourselves" we WILL as far as
lies IN our power, g follow peace with all men.

God"


Resolutions were passed, "that the Con-
ference will give every reasonable facility TO
the promotion Of the cause of the Sabbath

of African Colonization, and will give it such
reasonable support as circumstances will ad-
nit"
