Second Conference.

One of the Society of Friends opened the conference
as follows:—

BROTHERS AND FRIENDS,

When the talks, which we had last evening at
this place, ended, I believe it was generally under-

as I have found, that the more I am with you, the
more the love I have felt for you has increased, and
the stronger has been my desire for your welfare,
and that this love has taken away all fear of giving

freedom which I feel, under the influence of that
love which, I trust, has been impressed upon my
heart by the Great and Good Spirit, who, as he has
made us all of one blood, so he requires of us, that
we should love one another. I may tell you, brothers,
that, when I was in the Indian country, I had fre-
quent opportunities of observing the pernicious con-
sequences of the use of spirituous liquors, with which
