      out Britain , thpse friends havs directed their attention to London , nor have they looked in vain . This ? consideration , hOwejver , though vyithout doubt one which their friends will feel ought not to be overlooked , is not that on which the

      inembers ; < of the Finsbury Chapel woul 4 insist . There is . one which they cannot refrain from stating , and they feel assured that the statement of it will be the means of enabling them better to discharge their debt of justice and of gratitude . Their minister is at length

      re-Store 41 ° them after a long and daugerqjus Uiaess , duviug & considerable period of which , the most serious apprehensions prevailed that he would be lost to them tor ever . The manner in which he has sustained the late demands on his

      strength , physical and mental , affords tlis i » ost encouraging reason to hope that his constitutiou has iiGt suffered an irreparable shock , and that time and $ a 4 * e will restore him to health . It is the earnest and affectionate desire of

      their hearts , it is their constant prayer to Him who bringeth down to the grave and who raiseth up again , ^ nd in whose hand our breath is , that this hope may be realized . Never Jiave they ceased to regret that hitherto it has not been in their power properly to express , as far

      as the mode to which they allude can express , their estimation of his worth . Xhey now see him , for the first time , placed in a situation suited to his talents . They know that this situation must make

      foesh encroachments upon his . time , and bring fresh demands upon his exertion , |> ut with the effect ^ they do not doubt , of giving them the means of expressing \ n a more adequate manner their sense of the value of his services . But to be

      obliged to divert those means from the purpose to which * in justice , they ought $ o be appropriated , to that of liquidating the debt upou the chapel , is an expedient the necessity of which they canuot contemplate without deep . regret , and they have that confidence in the proper

      feeling of their friends to believe that they will afford an addUioaai proof that this , like most of man ' s fears for the future , exists chiefly , if not wholly , in the imagination . It is because their

      minister is not merely u the helper of their joy , " but eminently the servant of the Uuitariau public , that they thus speak to that public , satisfied that jii their feeling there will be a genera ) syin ^ pathy , and to their appeal a gewerxms answer .
