Taylor's store and encouragement toward free produce. Description An account of the resource STORE FOR THE SALE OF FRE PRODUCE.--The senior Editors of this paper ask the attention of its readers to the advertisement of our colleague, George W. Taylor, on our last page. The increasing desire throughout many sections of our country to procure the necessaries and conveniences of life, free from the labours of slaves; and a religious concern, on his part, to promote the good work by every means in his power, have induced him to enter into this business. He will most scrupulously investigate the sources of his supplies, and, in this and other respects, will be assisted by the operations of the Free Produce Association of Friends. Many applications have been received for a supply of groceries and cotton goods to be sold on commission. Without entering into details, we may state that this plan is quite impracticable. If several individuals in a neighbourhood would join in raising such an amount of money as may be convenient to them, they could receive its value in goods at wholesale prices, and divide them in the proportions of the several sums contributed. Many persons who do not profess a decided religious scruple against using slave produce, yet declare their preference for the productions of free labour, and even a willingness to pay more, if necessary, for them. We hope that such as these will avail themselves of the opportunity now afforded, to gratify their preference. Faithfulness to faint glimmerings may lead to larger openings--a proper use of feeble rays of light may prepare the spiritual eye for greater clearness and strength of vision--and those who have seen "men as trees, walking," may eventually see "every man clearly." To another class, who, under various outward disadvantages and difficulties, feel religiously restrained from contributing their support to slavery, we would extend the encouragement which we have gratefully received ourselves in a recent letter from our dear friend Thomas Willis, of Long Island. In reference to a discouraging circumstance, he says: "It has no effect to abate my concern on this subject, [the disuse of slave produce] but rather stimulates to greater faithfulness on my part. I sincerely hope that the apathy, so prevalent in the Society, relative to this branch of our testimony against injustice and cruelty, may in no wise abate the Christian concern and perseverance of those who have associated together for the promotion of this work of righteousness; for such I truly esteem it. And it does appear to me that if our Society have any real testimony to bear against slavery and the slave-trade, the time has arrived that we are called upon to make it manifest--not in word only--but in deed and in truth; so that our example may be consistent with our profession and set the seal thereunto."
