-
-
-IN times and under circumstances of an ordinary character, the letter, to
-which the following pages refer, might with safety be left to find its
-proper place in the public mind. It is characterized by a spirit of
-mildness and conciliation; and, as much of its censure is founded on
-erroneous impressions, the consequences would have been but momentary.
-But, in the present extraordinary times, there are not wanting those who
-would gladly seize upon the occasion, as a favourable one for widening
-the differences and perpetuating the antipathies, which unhappily prevail
-among Christians, and hence it appears desirable that the public should
-be set right with regard to the course now taken by those who are
-implicated in the charges.
-
-The main charges appear to be:—
-
-I. That the parties in question have acted unkindly and disrespectfully,
-so far as they have interfered with the arrangements for the exhibition
-in St. Andrew’s Hall.
-
-II. An assumption, (perfectly groundless,) that the plan of the proposed
-society would exclude all children except those of parents belonging to
-the Established Church, and
-
-III. That a society embracing in its direction and operations, all sects
-and denominations, would have worked more for the public good than the
-one proposed.
-
-It should be borne in mind, that the exhibition, in St. Andrew’s Hall,
-was Mr. Wilderspin’s own speculation. By myself and by some others, it
-was however favourably viewed, under an impression that a feeling would
-be excited where none had previously existed, and that it might possibly
-open the way for an extension of the system. Mr. W. was requested to
-meet a few gentlemen, at the Hall in the Market, to explain to them the
-nature of his system, and he there again mentioned his intention of
-assembling the children for examination in St. Andrew’s Hall. He was
-distinctly asked whether the directors or the committee of those schools
-had been consulted, and he as plainly replied that there would be no
-difficulty on that head. On the subject of the expenses the way was not
-so clear,—with his usual liberality he declared that he did not seek
-remuneration, but still he thought he ought to be indemnified from
-loss—and after some loose discussion it was agreed that those present
-should be responsible for any loss. It was finally arranged that free
-tickets of admission should be given to the Sunday school and other
-teachers. Of these, 300 were distributed to the various DISSENTING
-CONGREGATIONS in the city. The public were admitted at sixpence each
-person, and the proceeds went to the erection of the gallery, the
-purchase of buns for the children, and a gratuity to Mr. Wilderspin; a
-small contribution being collected from the _responsibles_ to make up
-this sum.
-
-I think, therefore, that my reverend friend, for so I beg in sincerity to
-designate him, must have been misinformed on some points which drew from
-him the charge that we had taken unwarrantable liberties either with the
-money or the schools of others.
-
-But another and far more important error is manifest at pages 10 and 19,
-where I understand him to mean that it is intended to exclude the
-children of all except those of the members of the Established Church.
-Now this is an impression so utterly at variance with truth and fact,
-that I cannot conceive what part of the proceedings can have been so
-distorted, as to admit of such an interpretation. I have seen the
-progress of the society in embryo first, last, midst, and throughout all,
-without witnessing any symptoms of such a spirit. Should it appear, I am
-prepared to contend with it hand to hand—foot to foot, and should it
-unhappily prevail, I should feel bound to quit the society, however
-painful it might be to part from one in whose work my almost entire
-public services and affections are bound up.
-
-On entering upon the subject of the union of all denominations in this
-work of benevolence, it appears to me, that my reverend friend has
-suffered the question of what is _practicable_ completely to merge into
-that which he considers as most _desirable_. His affections and his
-sympathy have been so attractively led by the cases where such an union
-has been effected, as has induced him to overlook many whose efficacy is
-doubtful, and some, where the effects have rather hindered than promoted
-the cause. But while I truly sympathise with him in those views and
-feelings which, were it practicable, would suggest such an union, the
-cool deliberations of sober judgment are most convincing that the present
-state of things here in reference to the feelings of various parties,
-presents insuperable barriers, except at the expense of that cause which
-it is our object mutually to advance. Now I would fairly meet the
-question,
-
-I. On the ground afforded by experience within our own locality.
-
-II. On that which is given to us on competent authority from other
-places.
-
-My reverend friend states at page 8, “that hitherto the labourers in the
-cause of Infant education in this city have been principally Dissenters,
-but it is well known that they have always desired and would have gladly
-received a greater number of their brethren in the establishment as
-coadjutors.” This is fairly coming to the point. There was no want of
-courtesy—no lack of invitations, but there was a something about those to
-whom those invitations were given, which kept them back. The few from
-among the members of the Establishment who have, as is stated at page 6
-and 7, so cordially and charitably joined in the direction and
-management, are perhaps nearly all who could, even by increased exertion,
-be drawn into active co-operation with the schools on their present plan;
-and had this been tenaciously adhered to, the result of our united
-exertions would have added but little to the present means of extending
-the cause. The whole amount of experience within our own locality so
-powerfully discourages the attempt to coalesce, that I think no one would
-be induced to try the experiment, who was well informed as to those facts
-which bear upon the question.
-
-II. Of the experience furnished by distant societies, there doubtless
-are some, where the union has been tried to great advantage. My reverend
-friend cannot feel more intense satisfaction than I do, in thus
-witnessing the joyful and happy state of brethren dwelling together in
-unity. If, however, Mr. Wilderspin’s book be competent authority, it is
-to be feared that the cases are few. It more resembles a chronicle of
-failure than of success—it savours more of antipathies than of harmony,
-and leads to discouragement rather than to hope.
-
-Of the many cases therein mentioned, I will refer to only two, and only
-to those because they have been selected by my reverend friend, as among
-those where a satisfactory union had been effected. The one is at
-Leicester, and is noticed at page 16—the other at Taunton, at page 17.
-
-The case of Leicester was one, of all others that have occurred or that
-can occur, the most painfully illustrative of the difficulty of effecting
-an efficient co-operation between parties so uncongenial. Mr. Wilderspin
-has given but a partial outline of the case in merely quoting the speech
-of Mr. Babington.
-
-It was my unhappiness to be present at that meeting. The place itself
-called up sacred recollections of days gone by. It was there where
-Robinson the Episcopalian and Hall the Nonconformist had been wont to
-meet with kindred affection, and to unite their powerful energies in
-advocating the cause of religion and benevolence as occasion might offer.
-It was on this spot, sacred to Christian union and charity, where the
-sweet yet brilliant eloquence of Hall had afterwards burst forth into
-that memorable strain of eulogy on the character of his deceased
-Christian brother—that now the Christian might have wept tears of blood,
-on seeing the biographer of Robinson bearing the rude personal taunts of
-Hall’s talented, misguided successor, followed by another speaker,
-equally talented, whose coarse expressions and personalities were utterly
-at variance with his Christian profession, and backed by the yells and
-hootings of men of every creed, and men of no creed at all. The
-individual on whom all this was lavished was, by birth and education, a
-gentleman—by profession and practice an active, pious, indefatigable,
-minister,—the brother of Baron Vaughan, and whose only offence was, that
-he had stated his opinions (erroneous as I conceive) in language
-temperate and respectful. The weak and feeble results of this meeting is
-told in the words of Mr. Wilderspin, who says at page 95, that “there are
-now three schools, but, as they are managed by women, though they do
-great good, the full amount of advantage is not secured.” The impression
-upon my own mind is that it is all but a failure.
-
-Nor is the quotation of the Taunton case more happy—Mr. Wilderspin’s
-account of this at page 118, exhibits clearly another instance of the
-difficulty of such an union, and that the altercation terminated in the
-establishment of two schools—one by each party.
-
-That there are cases of happy and beneficial union I admit, and I rejoice
-in the fact that there are such; but that the majority of cases in large
-towns are so I do greatly fear and doubt. My reverend friend quotes the
-authority of Mr. Wilderspin, at page 18, in a manner which requires
-qualifying. He says, “These quotations abundantly prove that the
-originator of Infant schools, who has visited many of the towns in the
-three kingdoms, and who is, perhaps, better qualified than any other
-person to form an opinion as to the best mode of conducting them, is
-decidedly opposed to the exclusive system advertised for Norwich.”
-
-Now I do humbly submit to the candid reader of Mr. Wilderspin’s book,
-that the cases he there notices, various as they are in character, do not
-lead to this conclusion. There may be cases, and I hope there are many,
-where “the union of Churchmen and Dissenters is delightful;” but that
-there are others, which do but too plainly tell the sad tale of the
-results of conflicting elements, cannot be denied. Much stress has been
-laid throughout on the value of the testimony of Mr. Wilderspin, and some
-of his statements have been so interpreted, as to bear strongly in favour
-of the union, when, as I have clearly shewn, they have a directly
-contrary tendency. His book bears evidence that his object is to promote
-infant instruction without any distinction of the party who patronises
-it. He is the willing agent of the Episcopalian or the Nonconformist;
-and, however he may rejoice when the state of feeling will admit of an
-union of all parties in one common bond of Christian love, he is too keen
-an observer of the workings of human prejudices, not to see that there
-are circumstances which would, in many cases, render an union an occasion
-rather for widening than diminishing the existing chasm.
-
-In conclusion, I cannot help again recurring to a mistake into which my
-reverend friend has fallen, and which is throughout implied—in regard to
-the exclusion of the children of dissent. He may rest assured that
-nothing is decided with respect to the discipline of the schools, which
-can possibly be held to be an impediment with any conscientious
-Dissenter, who desires to place his child there:—no impeding tests or
-testimonials on entering the school,—no offensive rituals when there.
-’Tis one of misfortune’s worst mishaps to have a bad name, and the
-Churchman is often slandered unwittingly. In the present case we claim
-our constitutional privilege of being heard before condemnation; and,
-while we expect not the approbation of the ultra, either within or
-without the pale of the Establishment, we do expect to meet the cordial
-sympathy of the good, the benevolent, the pious members of every
-denomination. A word or two on the subject of my reverend friend’s
-closing paragraph. Only let whatever is done, be done in the spirit of
-love and of duty: unhappily the field is wide enough, and too wide for us
-both. Let each, caring only for the public good, plant his school, not
-to annoy his associate in the benevolent work, but to select the most
-destitute district for its operation. To such a school there are, I have
-no doubt, Churchmen who will be happy to contribute, if conducted on
-sound principles; and I take my leave of my reverend friend’s letter in
-the spirit which animated the patriarch of old, when he says, “LET THERE
-BE NO STRIFE I PRAY THEE BETWEEN ME AND THEE, FOR WE ARE BRETHREN; IS NOT
-THE WHOLE LAND BEFORE THEE? SEPARATE THYSELF I PRAY THEE FROM ME. IF
-THOU WILT TAKE THE LEFT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE RIGHT, OR IF THOU
-DEPART TO THE RIGHT HAND, THEN I WILL GO TO THE LEFT.”

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of

-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

-Vindicated.</h2>
-<p><span class="smcap">In</span> times and under circumstances of
-an ordinary character, the letter, to which the following pages
-refer, might with safety be left to find its proper place in the
-public mind.&nbsp; It is characterized by a spirit of mildness
-and conciliation; and, as much of its censure is founded on
-erroneous impressions, the consequences would have been but
-momentary.&nbsp; But, in the present extraordinary times, there
-are not wanting those who would gladly seize upon the occasion,
-as a favourable one for widening the differences and perpetuating
-the antipathies, which unhappily prevail among Christians, and
-hence it appears desirable that the public should be set right
-with regard to the course now taken by those who are implicated
-in the charges.</p>
-<p>The main charges appear to be:&mdash;</p>
-<p>I.&nbsp; That the parties in question have acted unkindly and
-disrespectfully, so far as they have interfered with the
-arrangements for the exhibition in St. Andrew&rsquo;s Hall.</p>
-<p><a name="page4"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 4</span>II.&nbsp;
-An assumption, (perfectly groundless,) that the plan of the
-proposed society would exclude all children except those of
-parents belonging to the Established Church, and</p>
-<p>III.&nbsp; That a society embracing in its direction and
-operations, all sects and denominations, would have worked more
-for the public good than the one proposed.</p>
-<p>It should be borne in mind, that the exhibition, in St.
-Andrew&rsquo;s Hall, was Mr. Wilderspin&rsquo;s own
-speculation.&nbsp; By myself and by some others, it was however
-favourably viewed, under an impression that a feeling would be
-excited where none had previously existed, and that it might
-possibly open the way for an extension of the system.&nbsp; Mr.
-W. was requested to meet a few gentlemen, at the Hall in the
-Market, to explain to them the nature of his system, and he there
-again mentioned his intention of assembling the children for
-examination in St. Andrew&rsquo;s Hall.&nbsp; He was distinctly
-asked whether the directors or the committee of those schools had
-been consulted, and he as plainly replied that there would be no
-difficulty on that head.&nbsp; On the subject of the expenses the
-way was not so clear,&mdash;with his usual liberality he declared
-that he did not seek remuneration, but still he thought he ought
-to be indemnified from loss&mdash;and after some loose discussion
-it was agreed that those present should be responsible for any
-loss.&nbsp; It was finally arranged that free tickets of
-admission should be given to the Sunday school <a
-name="page5"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 5</span>and other
-teachers.&nbsp; Of these, 300 were distributed to the various
-<span class="smcap">Dissenting Congregations</span> in the
-city.&nbsp; The public were admitted at sixpence each person, and
-the proceeds went to the erection of the gallery, the purchase of
-buns for the children, and a gratuity to Mr. Wilderspin; a small
-contribution being collected from the <i>responsibles</i> to make
-up this sum.</p>
-<p>I think, therefore, that my reverend friend, for so I beg in
-sincerity to designate him, must have been misinformed on some
-points which drew from him the charge that we had taken
-unwarrantable liberties either with the money or the schools of
-others.</p>
-<p>But another and far more important error is manifest at pages
-10 and 19, where I understand him to mean that it is intended to
-exclude the children of all except those of the members of the
-Established Church.&nbsp; Now this is an impression so utterly at
-variance with truth and fact, that I cannot conceive what part of
-the proceedings can have been so distorted, as to admit of such
-an interpretation.&nbsp; I have seen the progress of the society
-in embryo first, last, midst, and throughout all, without
-witnessing any symptoms of such a spirit.&nbsp; Should it appear,
-I am prepared to contend with it hand to hand&mdash;foot to foot,
-and should it unhappily prevail, I should feel bound to quit the
-society, however painful it might be to part from one in whose
-work my almost entire public services and affections are bound
-up.</p>
-<p>On entering upon the subject of the union of all denominations
-in this work of benevolence, it appears <a name="page6"></a><span
-class="pagenum">p. 6</span>to me, that my reverend friend has
-suffered the question of what is <i>practicable</i> completely to
-merge into that which he considers as most
-<i>desirable</i>.&nbsp; His affections and his sympathy have been
-so attractively led by the cases where such an union has been
-effected, as has induced him to overlook many whose efficacy is
-doubtful, and some, where the effects have rather hindered than
-promoted the cause.&nbsp; But while I truly sympathise with him
-in those views and feelings which, were it practicable, would
-suggest such an union, the cool deliberations of sober judgment
-are most convincing that the present state of things here in
-reference to the feelings of various parties, presents
-insuperable barriers, except at the expense of that cause which
-it is our object mutually to advance.&nbsp; Now I would fairly
-meet the question,</p>
-<p>I.&nbsp; On the ground afforded by experience within our own
-locality.</p>
-<p>II.&nbsp; On that which is given to us on competent authority
-from other places.</p>
-<p>My reverend friend states at page 8, &ldquo;that hitherto the
-labourers in the cause of Infant education in this city have been
-principally Dissenters, but it is well known that they have
-always desired and would have gladly received a greater number of
-their brethren in the establishment as coadjutors.&rdquo;&nbsp;
-This is fairly coming to the point.&nbsp; There was no want of
-courtesy&mdash;no lack of invitations, but there was a something
-about those to whom those invitations were given, which kept them
-back.&nbsp; The few from among the members <a
-name="page7"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 7</span>of the
-Establishment who have, as is stated at page 6 and 7, so
-cordially and charitably joined in the direction and management,
-are perhaps nearly all who could, even by increased exertion, be
-drawn into active co-operation with the schools on their present
-plan; and had this been tenaciously adhered to, the result of our
-united exertions would have added but little to the present means
-of extending the cause.&nbsp; The whole amount of experience
-within our own locality so powerfully discourages the attempt to
-coalesce, that I think no one would be induced to try the
-experiment, who was well informed as to those facts which bear
-upon the question.</p>
-<p>II.&nbsp; Of the experience furnished by distant societies,
-there doubtless are some, where the union has been tried to great
-advantage.&nbsp; My reverend friend cannot feel more intense
-satisfaction than I do, in thus witnessing the joyful and happy
-state of brethren dwelling together in unity.&nbsp; If, however,
-Mr. Wilderspin&rsquo;s book be competent authority, it is to be
-feared that the cases are few.&nbsp; It more resembles a
-chronicle of failure than of success&mdash;it savours more of
-antipathies than of harmony, and leads to discouragement rather
-than to hope.</p>
-<p>Of the many cases therein mentioned, I will refer to only two,
-and only to those because they have been selected by my reverend
-friend, as among those where a satisfactory union had been
-effected.&nbsp; The one is at Leicester, and is noticed at page
-16&mdash;the other at Taunton, at page 17.</p>
-<p><a name="page8"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 8</span>The case
-of Leicester was one, of all others that have occurred or that
-can occur, the most painfully illustrative of the difficulty of
-effecting an efficient co-operation between parties so
-uncongenial.&nbsp; Mr. Wilderspin has given but a partial outline
-of the case in merely quoting the speech of Mr. Babington.</p>
-<p>It was my unhappiness to be present at that meeting.&nbsp; The
-place itself called up sacred recollections of days gone
-by.&nbsp; It was there where Robinson the Episcopalian and Hall
-the Nonconformist had been wont to meet with kindred affection,
-and to unite their powerful energies in advocating the cause of
-religion and benevolence as occasion might offer.&nbsp; It was on
-this spot, sacred to Christian union and charity, where the sweet
-yet brilliant eloquence of Hall had afterwards burst forth into
-that memorable strain of eulogy on the character of his deceased
-Christian brother&mdash;that now the Christian might have wept
-tears of blood, on seeing the biographer of Robinson bearing the
-rude personal taunts of Hall&rsquo;s talented, misguided
-successor, followed by another speaker, equally talented, whose
-coarse expressions and personalities were utterly at variance
-with his Christian profession, and backed by the yells and
-hootings of men of every creed, and men of no creed at all.&nbsp;
-The individual on whom all this was lavished was, by birth and
-education, a gentleman&mdash;by profession and practice an
-active, pious, indefatigable, minister,&mdash;the brother of
-Baron Vaughan, and whose only offence was, that he had stated his
-opinions (erroneous as I <a name="page9"></a><span
-class="pagenum">p. 9</span>conceive) in language temperate and
-respectful.&nbsp; The weak and feeble results of this meeting is
-told in the words of Mr. Wilderspin, who says at page 95, that
-&ldquo;there are now three schools, but, as they are managed by
-women, though they do great good, the full amount of advantage is
-not secured.&rdquo;&nbsp; The impression upon my own mind is that
-it is all but a failure.</p>
-<p>Nor is the quotation of the Taunton case more happy&mdash;Mr.
-Wilderspin&rsquo;s account of this at page 118, exhibits clearly
-another instance of the difficulty of such an union, and that the
-altercation terminated in the establishment of two
-schools&mdash;one by each party.</p>
-<p>That there are cases of happy and beneficial union I admit,
-and I rejoice in the fact that there are such; but that the
-majority of cases in large towns are so I do greatly fear and
-doubt.&nbsp; My reverend friend quotes the authority of Mr.
-Wilderspin, at page 18, in a manner which requires
-qualifying.&nbsp; He says, &ldquo;These quotations abundantly
-prove that the originator of Infant schools, who has visited many
-of the towns in the three kingdoms, and who is, perhaps, better
-qualified than any other person to form an opinion as to the best
-mode of conducting them, is decidedly opposed to the exclusive
-system advertised for Norwich.&rdquo;</p>
-<p>Now I do humbly submit to the candid reader of Mr.
-Wilderspin&rsquo;s book, that the cases he there notices, various
-as they are in character, do not lead to this conclusion.&nbsp;
-There may be cases, and I hope there are <a
-name="page10"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 10</span>many, where
-&ldquo;the union of Churchmen and Dissenters is
-delightful;&rdquo; but that there are others, which do but too
-plainly tell the sad tale of the results of conflicting elements,
-cannot be denied.&nbsp; Much stress has been laid throughout on
-the value of the testimony of Mr. Wilderspin, and some of his
-statements have been so interpreted, as to bear strongly in
-favour of the union, when, as I have clearly shewn, they have a
-directly contrary tendency.&nbsp; His book bears evidence that
-his object is to promote infant instruction without any
-distinction of the party who patronises it.&nbsp; He is the
-willing agent of the Episcopalian or the Nonconformist; and,
-however he may rejoice when the state of feeling will admit of an
-union of all parties in one common bond of Christian love, he is
-too keen an observer of the workings of human prejudices, not to
-see that there are circumstances which would, in many cases,
-render an union an occasion rather for widening than diminishing
-the existing chasm.</p>
-<p>In conclusion, I cannot help again recurring to a mistake into
-which my reverend friend has fallen, and which is throughout
-implied&mdash;in regard to the exclusion of the children of
-dissent.&nbsp; He may rest assured that nothing is decided with
-respect to the discipline of the schools, which can possibly be
-held to be an impediment with any conscientious Dissenter, who
-desires to place his child there:&mdash;no impeding tests or
-testimonials on entering the school,&mdash;no offensive rituals
-when there.&nbsp; &rsquo;Tis one of misfortune&rsquo;s worst
-mishaps to have a bad name, and the Churchman <a
-name="page11"></a><span class="pagenum">p. 11</span>is often
-slandered unwittingly.&nbsp; In the present case we claim our
-constitutional privilege of being heard before condemnation; and,
-while we expect not the approbation of the ultra, either within
-or without the pale of the Establishment, we do expect to meet
-the cordial sympathy of the good, the benevolent, the pious
-members of every denomination.&nbsp; A word or two on the subject
-of my reverend friend&rsquo;s closing paragraph.&nbsp; Only let
-whatever is done, be done in the spirit of love and of duty:
-unhappily the field is wide enough, and too wide for us
-both.&nbsp; Let each, caring only for the public good, plant his
-school, not to annoy his associate in the benevolent work, but to
-select the most destitute district for its operation.&nbsp; To
-such a school there are, I have no doubt, Churchmen who will be
-happy to contribute, if conducted on sound principles; and I take
-my leave of my reverend friend&rsquo;s letter in the spirit which
-animated the patriarch of old, when he says, &ldquo;<span
-class="smcap">Let there be no strife I pray thee between me and
-thee</span>, <span class="smcap">for we are brethren</span>;
-<span class="smcap">is not the whole land before
-thee</span>?&nbsp; <span class="smcap">Separate thyself I pray
-thee from me</span>.&nbsp; <span class="smcap">If thou wilt take
-the left hand</span>, <span class="smcap">then I will go to the
-right</span>, <span class="smcap">or if thou depart to the right
-hand</span>, <span class="smcap">then I will go to the
-left</span>.&rdquo;</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
