in the West Indies, and in other Colonies it has been
declared by the law of the British Government that
Slavery Shall forever cease, in those colonies the
happiest results have ensued, most gratifying reports
have been now presented showing, that the Negroes
have peacably exchanged a State of Slavery for one
of freedom, industry prevails, prosperity increases and
Christianity is honored and practised.

We desire reverently to commit this Cause to God. We
implore has blessing on this appeal. We pray that
through the power of the hold Spirit, Rulers and
subjects may in all countries be brought to receive
and to act upon the gospel of our Holy Redeemer and
that the day may be hastened, when violence shall
no more be heard Throughout the habitable earth,
wasting nor destruction within her borders.

Signed on behalf of the Convention

Thomas Clarkson
