B. STONE. t From an admirable paper by Rev. ROBERT STRONG, A. M. DEVELOPMENT OF TRUE RELIGION. 531 Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, with scattered churches in the Carolinas, all united under the Synod of Philadelphia. The growth of the church from this period was constant and rapid, by reason of large immigrations; until, in 1788, a General Assembly was constituted, associating the synods and presbyteries after the model of the Church of Scotland. It will be seen from this how widely the c...hurch was extend ed, and over how large a part of the country its influence reached. " Its character and influence may be fairly though indirectly judged from its sources. Its members came to this country to seek for religious and political freedom. Having found a place for its exercise, they established their principles in pro portion to their power. What Bancroft says of East Jersey, is true, in a measure, of other sections, and the other sources of our church : Scottish Presbyterians, of virtue, education, and courage, blending a love of popular liberty with reli gious enthusiasm, came to East Jersey in such numbers as to give to the rising Commonwealth a character which a century and a half has not effaced.
