Description
Free Produce Meeting in New York
We have received the gratifying intelligence that the annual meeting of the Free Produce Association of Friends of new York Yearly Meeting, held on the evening of Third day last, in the Yearly Meeting House, was very numerously attended by the members of that Yearly Meeting. This large attendance was probably the result, in part, of notice being given by the Clerk, in the Yearly Meting, of the intended meeting of the Association and its purpose being there approvingly spoken of by several influential members; but it is believed, it may be more attributed to an increasing, deepening sense throughout the Yearly Meeting of the duty of working with CLEAN HANDS in our efforts to subvert the system of slavery. A subscription was opened at the meeting towards the establishment of a Free Produce Store in New York, and the sum of $550 raised, additional to previous collections. A large committee consisting of several members within each quarterly meeting, was appointed to collect further sums. We hope to give a fuller account next month.
