DEDICATION.

TO THE

RISING GENERATION

AMONG THE VARIOUS DENOMINATIONS OF

PROTESTANTS.

MY YOUNG FRIENDS,

THE formation of your principles, the instruction of your minds, and the salvation of your souls, are, unquestionably, objects of high importance to yourselves, to your connexions, and to the protestant interest at and to the

large. When your fathers are translated from

the church militant to the church triumph

ant, you will inherit their property, and will Occupy their stations. On you it will devolve

to manage the affairs of religion, to be zealous for its interests, and active for its prosperity.
