Excerpt from Extracts From the Minutes of the General Association of New-Hampshire: Assembled at Pembroke, September 3, 1822 But this we say, brethren, and by the proper in uence of this sentiment we would have all your conduct directed, The time is short. A little while, and the parent will cease to teach his children the fear of the Lord, but must leave them in a wicked world. A little while, and the child will no more hear the instructions, or prayers, or behold the examples of the godly parent. A little while, and the Christian will cease to engage with those who worship in temples made with hands, or, by his virtues, to shed a happy in uence upon the society, in which he moves, or to do any thing more for the benefit of the world, or the honour of his Saviour's name. Be not weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap, if you faint not.' Though you have now a con ict to maintain; still it will soon be over. Like warring Israel, you are press ing forward to the good land. Be faithful and soon your triumph in Christ will be complete. Now is your salva tion nearer than when you believed Therefore, breth ren, dearly beloved, and longed for, our joy and crown, stand fast in the Lord.
