Live in the life of truth, and let the truth speak in all things, and righteousness; and let justice be acted, and holiness in all things, without any guile, fraud, or deceit; so, that is well pleasing to God and men, and according to that of God in every one. And this showeth forth the fruits of believers, that are passed from death to life; from death, which came by sin, the original of which is the devil. Now, in the truth and righteousness ye will all have peace, favor, and

1661.

Govern and order with God's wisdom all the creatures that ye have under you, and all exchangings, merchandizing, husbandry. Do what ye do in the wisdom of God, and with it, which pure from above, and gentle, and easy to be entreated. With this wisdom (which is not earthly, sensual, nor devilish,) you do good unto all, and hurt no one, nor yourselves; for it is pure and preserves pure.

keepeth out the covetous mind, and covetous desires; that which keepeth over this, hath the blessing and increase of the heavenly riches; and shall not want the creatures, nor will the Lord withhold any good thing from them. So, be careful to do good in all things to all people whatsoever: in the fear of God serve Him, and be diligent, and not stubborn in any thing, but pliable in the power of God, that keeps you over all the powers of unrighteousness; acting so in that, that ye may be a good savor in all nations, So, this is the word of the Lord God to you islands, and places where ye come, in the hearts all; keep all in the power of God over all the un- of all people; doing truly and plainly, uprightly, righteous world. In which power of God ye will faithfully, justly, and honestly, according to the be preserved in justice, in truth, in equal bal-Light of Christ Jesus in every man; that ye may ance, and weights, and measures, uprightness be witness to all. Then will your words, lives, and honesty to all people. So all here in this are and conversations preach and manifest that ye serviceable to God in their generation, and to serve God in the new life; and that ye have put the creation. Do rightly, that is the word of off the old man and his deeds, which are unthe Lord God to you all, whether ye be trades-righteous; and that ye have put on the new men, of what calling or profession, or sort soever, man, which is renewed after God in righteousor husbandmen: do rightly, justly, truly, holily, ness and holiness, according to his image. equally to all people in all things; and that is according to that of God in every man, and the witness of God, and the wisdom of God, and the life of God in yourselves; and there ye are serviceable in your generation, laboring in the thing that is good, which doth not spoil, nor destroy, nor waste the creation upon the lusts.

And all merchants whatsoever, seamen, and traffickers by sea or land; this is the word of the Lord God to you all: do justly, speak truly to all people whatsoever; then are ye a dread and terror to the unjust. Wrong no man, over-reach no man, (if it may be never so much to your advantage,) but be plain, righteous, and holy; in this are ye serviceable to your own nation and

Loathe deceit and all unrighteousness, hardheartedness, wronging, cozening, cheating, or unjust dealing; but live and reign in the righteous life and power of God, and wisdom, that presseth all the other down, and to answer the good and just principle in all people; and that will win the people to deal with you, doing truth to all, without respect to persons; to high or low, young or old, rich or poor and so here your lives and words will preach wherever you come.

All husbandmen and dealers about husbandry whatsoever, cattle or ground, to you all this is the word of the Lord God do rightly, holily, justly, honestly, plainly, and truly to all men

and people, whomsoever ye have to deal withal; wrong not any in any case, though it be never so much to your advantage. Deny yourselves, and live in the cross of Christ, the power of God, for that destroys injustice; and without holiness none can ever see the Lord; and out of righteousness there is no true peace. Therefore all, of what sort soever, or what calling soever, do justly, whether ye be masters or servants, fathers or mothers, sons or daughters, to one another, and to all, do that which is just and righteous, uprightly, and holily; in that you will have peace, and see God.

So in that power, wisdom, and strength, that gives you dominion over all, and to answer that of God in all, the love and power of the Lord Jesus Christ preserve and keep you all in his wisdom, life, seed, and dominion, that to Him ye may be a blessing, and a good savor in the hearts of all people. And let all your actions and words be one with the witness of God in all people. Amen.

And let none be negligent in their business, but give an account by words or writings, how things are with them, when others write to them; so that none may wrong one another in these outward things, nor oppress one another, but be serviceable one to another, keeping their words, (their going into things beyond their ability makes them break their words,) keeping within their compass with that which they may answer others, lest any should be lifted up. For it is a bad thing to be lifted up, and to make a

So in all husbandry, speak truth, act truth, doing justly and uprightly in all your actions, in all your practices, in all your words, in all your dealings, buyings, sellings, changings, and commerce with people, let truth be the head, and practise it. This brings righteousness forth, and deceit to the judgment bar. In this ye answer the Light of Christ in every one, and are bless-noise and a show for a time with other people's ings to the Lord God, and to your generation ye are serviceable; and come to walk in the new Life, in which the righteous, holy God is served. In which righteousness ye have peace; and in which holiness ye see God: for the kingdom of God stands in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

So all Friends of what calling soever, dwell in the power of God, and feel the power of God, and the light of Christ Jesus; dwell in that, act in that; that ye may answer that of God in every one upon the earth, with your actions, and by your conversations, and by your words, being right, just, and true. This goes over the unjust, untrue, unholy, and unrighteous in the whole world; and reacheth to the good and true principle of God in all people, which tells them when they do not do equally, justly, righteously, and holily. So, let your lives preach, let your light shine, that your works may be seen, that your Father may be glorified; that your fruits may be unto holiness, and that your end may be everlasting life.

:

And all, of what trade or calling soever, keep out of debts owe no man any thing but love. Go not beyond your estates, lest ye bring your selves to trouble, and cumber, and a snare; keep low and down in all things ye act. For a man that would be great, and goes beyond his estate, lifts himself up, runs into debt, and lives highly on other men's means; he is a waster of other men's, and a destroyer. He is not serviceable to the creation, but a destroyer of the creation and creature, and cumbereth himself and troubleth others, and is lifted up. He would appear to be somebody; but being gone from the honest, the just and good, falls into the shame. Therefore dwell every one of you (that know redemption from the earth,) under your own vine, and seek not to be great, but in that; and dwell in the truth, justice, righteousness, and holiness; and there is the blessing enlarged.

goods, and not to be able to keep their word, their promise, their day; such may be lifted up for a time, and break and fall, and go out as a stench, and bring a great dishonor to Christ and true Christians. And therefore, keeping your word, your day, and keeping your just measure, your just weight, that keeps down the oppres sion. And by keeping to that just measure and weight, and to your word and day, by the power of God and his Spirit in your own hearts, there the blessing is doubled, there ye come to be rich, and ye are a good savor to God, and in the hearts of all people.

So every one strive to be rich in the life, and in the kingdom and things of the world that hath no end; for he that covets to be rich in the things of this world, falls into many snares, and hurtful lusts. And therefore let him that buys, or sells, or possesses, or uses this world, be, as if he did not. Let them be masters over the world in the power and Spirit of God, and let them know, that they owe no man any thing but love; yet serve God in truth, and one another in their generation.

For, Friends, if ye be not faithful in the outward treasure, and outward mammon, who will trust you with the true treasure? Or who can believe that ye have the true treasure, but that ye speak by hearsay of it? So, I say to you all, see that ye are faithful in this outward mammon, this outward treasure of the things of this life, of this world, faithful to your word, faithful to your days, faithful to your promises, in all your tradings, traffickings, bargainings, true and just, and righteous and honest in these outward treasures or mammon, concerning the things of this world, of this life, of these outward riches.

where they have gone to find homes of freedom and equality.

Besides those emigrants sent to Liberia from this State by the Pennsylvania Society, this society has also sent four hundred and ninety-two emigrants from other States, most of whom were slaves, whose freedom was thereby secured to them in the republic of Liberia. Of this number, thirty-eight were sent out by the society during the past year, all of whom being slaves, and whose freedom, on their going to Liberia, has been secured to them by this society establishing them in that republic. The Pennsylvania Colonization Society has, therefore, sent to Liberia, in all, six hundred and fifty-nine emigrants -one hundred and sixty-seven from this Statethirty-five of whom the past year, and four hundred and ninety two from other States, mostly slaves, of whom thirty-eight were sent the past

During the past year more than one hundred thousand dollars were drawn from the State trea sury for purposes of a charitable nature. Very few of these institutions have conferred any benefit on the colored population. By the charter of the Pennsylvania Lunatic Hospital, no person of color can, under any circumstances, be admitted into any of its wards or cells; so that the colored people, as a class, have heretofore received very few of the bounties of the commonwealth; we think a more judicious discrimination among the appropriations to charitable and benevolent objects, would afford to all desirable objects the means of some pecuniary assistance by the State, without swelling the general aggregate. Two years ago the State appropriated two thousand dollars to the Pennsylvania Colonization Society, which the Society gratefully acknowledges as Population of the United States. having been of very essential service in the good The whole white population of the country, by work of African colonization.

This makes the white population about five and one-fourth to one of the black population.

The whole colored population increased, from 1840 to 1850, at the ratio of 26-22 per cent., which would double the colored population in thirty years. According to the census of 1850, there were then fifty-three thousand three hundred and twenty-three free colored persons in the State of Pennsylvania. It is believed, however, that the number has somewhat decreased since
