When we consider that there are in the city of Philadelphia about 30,000 people of color, we see there is still room for further effort in filling up these churches. And may we not hope that God's blessing will still be upon us, and, trusting upon his favor and loving kindness, and with hearts filled with thankfulness for his past mercies, go forward, and, with united hearts, do with all our might what our hands find to do. And now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the Church by Jesus Christ throughout all ages world without end. Amen.
