Mr. JOSEPH SNOW, of Providence, met with a happy change, in the glorious revival of religion in 1741; and he was soon called to preach the gospel, and a Congregational church was formed under his ministry, and he was ordained their pastor, Feb. 12, 1747. A meeting house was built for them ,which was afterwards enlarged, and they became a numerous and honorable society, and collected a fund of money for the support of their ministers. And as Mr. Snow was advanced in years, and a young minister arrived there from Ireland in the Spring of 1790, he was called to assist him in preachiung for two years. But in that time he drew off the majority of the church and congregation from the doctrine of sovereign grace, to the way of confounding works and grace together, And as Mr, Snow tried to get him dismissed from them, a majority of the church drew up a number of accusatiuons against Mr. Snow, and attempted to silence him from preaching. But he and his brethren called a council, who fully cleared him from those accusations. And as said teacher was of the Methodist denomination, he could not have a legal right to the property of that Congregational Society; therefore he changed his name to that of Congregational; and a majority of the church sent to four churches in the Massachusetts, and to two in the state of Rhode Island, for assistance in ordaining saif minister to their church. Upon which Mr. Snow, and many of his brethren, sent for another council, to meet at the same time; and they advised Mr. Snow, and those who held with him, to persevere in their former faith and conduct, and wo withdraw their hand of fellowship from all their brethren who had gone off from the same, and refuses to return.
