Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Substance of a Speech: Delivered at a Meeting of Evangelical Dissenters of Different Denominations; Held in Edinburgh on 13th September 1832 A. C. Dick, Esq. Advocate, moved, "That this Meeting approve of the Report of Committee now read; and that the gentlemen present do now, agreeably thereto, form themselves into a Society by the name of the Voluntary Church Association, and adopt the fundamental principles and rules recommended in said Report as the Fundamental Principles and Rules of said Society." Having read the motion, Mr Dick proceeded: - I presume it is unnecessary for me to say much respecting the Committee´s Report to which the motion refers. It is very plain and short; and is, or will immediately be, in general circulation. It contains their statement of what they think ought to be adopted as the fundamental principles of the proposed Association, - the end and the means of its operation, the rules and framework of its constitution. And upon all these points it appears to be unexceptionable. The declaration of principles is at once just, comprehensive, and powerful, clothed in language perfectly precise and firm, yet perfectly temperate, being no stronger than is required by the strong opinions which it conveys. To propagate these principles, and further the other objects of the Association, the chief instrument which it is proposed to employ is the public Press, - a fair and honourable weapon, of which the use is equally open to all, and by which we can make an impression only upon the reason and conscience of our countrymen. For the success of our cause, for a deliverance from the evils which we oppose, this Association will hence be seen, not to look to any temporary agitation of the popular mind, nor to force, nor to accident.
