A number of persons, residing in the western part of the state of New-York, of whom several are represented as learned and opulent foreigners, naturalized here, have formed themselves into a church, or religious association, upon principles which exclude polemick questions and sectarian peculiarities. They disclaim human formularies of faith, as tests of christian communion, referring their members to the scriptures as the only rule of belief and practice; and they appear to think the lib erty of religious inquiry and profession, unrestrained by the fear of temporal inconvenience, compatible with the interests of truth and virtue. Under the auspices of this description of persons, a society for promoting christian knowledge and practice is instituted, who have endeavoured to call the attention of the enlightened and serious publick to the objects of their association by the following publication. At a meeting on September 20,1806, of the Society for promoting the knowledge of the Sacred Scriptures and the practice of the Gospel Doctrine, Resolved to make the following publication The members of the Society for promoting the knowlege of the Sacred Scriptures and the practice of the Gospel Doctrine, informed by extracts, lately published from the minutes of the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Churches in this state, of the laudable endeavours of that High Reverend Body, to promote the interest of the Redeemer's Kingdom, think it becoming their character and christian profession, to co A complete system of Geography, ancient and modern, in 6 volumes 8vo.

The limited circumstances of the people of these western parts do not enable them at present, to afford pecuniary aid to their more wealthy brethren in the mercan tile cities, for the particular purpose specified in the printed extracts of the General Synod. On the contrary, from the known generosity and affluence of our brethren, we might hope for pecuniary assistance from them, were they duly apprised of the various and increasing enemies of our Lord by whom we are surrounded. Notwith standing the eminent blessings of a spiritual nature enjoyed at the "hand of a merciful providence, our situation is rendered truly disagreeable by a grow. ing fanaticism and enthusiasm which degrade the pure and excellent faith of our divine Master, and by a demoralizing infidelity, which, while it successfully triumphs against the absurd inventions of men, sacrilegiously attached to the religion of Jesus of Nazareth, proudly boasts of victory over christianity herself. Having deliberated on the radical causes of the prevailing evil and can didly dicussed the subject among ourselves, we are apprehensive that a shameful ignorance, on the one hand, and a disposition for licentiousness on the other, combine to give it birth, and that its only remedy lies in the diffu sion of religious knowledge, and in a inore exemplary deportment among the professed friends of the christian cause.
