1. That it is a most desirable object, to form and maintain a regular correspondence with the different individuals and Societies in Scotland, united in the belief and advocacy of the strict Unity of God, and of his Universal Love to his creatures.

2. That no means appear to be better adapted to the accomplishment of that object, than the institution of an Annual General Association, holding its meetings at the places in which such Societies exist, and maintaining a correspondence through the medium of its Committee.

3. That such an Association is calculated not only to unite the Societies themselves in a spirit of friendship most worthy and illustrative of the Christian name, but will also tend to the encouragement of individuals, afford an excellent opportunity to explain to the public their religious principles, to expose the misrepresentations that are circulated respecting them, and to diffuse a spirit of inquiry and benevolence.

4. That we, therefore, form ourselves into a Society, to be denominated "THE SCOTTISH UNITARIAN CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION."

5. That the objects of this Association are:

1st, To promote and keep up an intercourse and correspondence between the different Individuals and Societies in Scotland, united in the belief and advocacy of the great and Christian principles of the strict Unity of God, and of his Universal Love to his creatures.

2d, To contribute to the illustration and establishment of the doctrines and spirit of Christianity, by the distribution of Tracts on Christian doctrine and moral conduct. 3d, To assist in defraying the travelling expenses of Unitarian Missionaries in Scotland.

4th, To support Public Worship, by assisting Individuals to form themselves into Societies, for the worship of the One living and true God the Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

5th, To co-operate with other Associations of a similar nature, formed in different parts of the United Kingdom, and of the world, in the advancement of the holy and benevolent faith in which they are united.

6. That acknowledging but one head of the Christian Church, Jesus Christ the righteous-the well-beloved Son of God, sent by the Father to be the Saviour of the world; we make our open and most solemn appeal to the writings of the Old and New Testament, as the only standard of Christian doctrine and practice, in vindication of our principles and worship.

7. That while the Members of this Association will never shrink from the avowal of what they believe to be true, they will at all times endeavour to banish prejudice by a spirit of candour, and to destroy the effects of misrepresentation by a character and conduct which shall be free from stain or reproach.

8. That any person subscribing the sum of Two Shillings and Sixpence or upwards, annually, shall be considered a member of the Association, and shall be entitled to receive half of his subscrip

tion in Tracts circulated by the Association, if claimed within two months after the Annual Meeting.

9. That all subscriptions paid during any part of the year, shall be considered as commencing on the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held, and as terminating on that day next ensuing.

10. That the Annual Meeting of the Association shall be held on the first Sunday and following Monday in August.

11. That the management of the affairs of the Association shall be vested in nine Directors, and a Treasurer and Secretary; and that every question which shall come before the Committee or the Association, shall be determined by a majority of votes.

12. That Corresponding Members be appointed in every place in Scotland, where there are any Unitarians; that they be requested to act as local Treasurers, and also to send an annual account of the state and prospects of Christian Unitarianism in their respective neighbourhoods, to the Secretary of the Association, that it may be presented in the Report of the Committee to the General Meeting.

13. That two Members of the Association shall be appointed Auditors of the Treasurer's accounts, by whom they shall be examined and certified, before they are submitted to the General Meeting.

14. That these Rules shall not be altered, except at the General Annual Meeting of the Association; and any alterations intended to be proposed to the Society, must be previously notified to the Committee.

A vote of cordial approbation to Mr. Millar of Dundee, and of congratulation to him and the Congregation of that Town, on the prospect of their soon obtaining a resident Minister, was unanimously passed. The following resolution was also unanimously and warmly adopted:

"That this Meeting welcome the accession of the Rev. Archibald Macdonald of Greenock, to the cause of God's Unity and Benevolence; and whilst they admire the Christian firmness and integrity which have marked his conduct, would express their fervent hope, that he will prove himself a labourer who needeth not to be ashamed, and that he may experience that peace and joy in believing, which neither the world's riches nor its frowns can give or take away.”

The meeting concluded with singing and prayer. Many individuals have already joined the Association; and we trust that it commences its labours with good prospect of success.
