promoted it. If I am wrong, I am imposed upon by
a speech of John Poynder, Esq. delivered at a general
court of proprietors on September the 22d, 1830, of
which a review is given in the British Critic and
Quarterly Theological of July 1831, page 62, published
by Rivington. Should this narrative be true, I have
no doubt that this high and respectable company, dis-
tinguished for their justice, mercy, and liberality, will
mark what has been done in their name, with their
disapprobation, and be happy to vindicate the honor
of their country by granting the sum which has been
received from this atrocious display of Paganism, to
the support of the doctrines of Christianity, and the
conversion of these idolators. Having heard that
some objection has been made to affording any as-
sistance at present, on account of the short duration
of their charter, I cannot help thinking that this is a
strong reason for their losing no time to vindicate the
honour of their country, and to prove themselves
Christians in heart and mind, as well as in name. I
am inclined to think that any company, however distin-
guished, are unworthy of a charter who continue to
patronize and encourage the diabolical Temple of
Juggernaut.
