tention of the Youth of that Society, which George Fox had been instrumental in forming, to the labours, the sufferings, and the character of this devoted servant of Christ. To these in particular, the calk of the Almighty to the Jews is affectionately recommended: "Look unto Abraham your father-I called him [when] alone, and blessed him, and increased him.”
