Total, 475) 178 100 From the foregoing statement, it appears, that this Charitable Institution so far flourished during the first four years, that the total stock December 30, 1773, had amounted to f. 2451 3 10. It continued proportionably increasing for three years more, while the annual meetings of the corporation could be regularly held, amidst the operations of a revolutionary war-But sundry purpose in America; in order that the said Archbishops of “ Canterbury and York and the Bishop of London, for the time “ being, or such person and persons, appointed by them as 6 aforesaid, may ratify and confirm the said accounts, or sub“ ject them to such revisal, check and confirmation, as may be " thought just and reasonable.” The charter-name, or style, was also exceptionable to many, viz. - The corporation for “ the relief of the widows and children of Clergymen in the « communion of the Church of England in America." Added to this, so many of the Clerical as well as Lay members, whose names are contained in the Charters, having, after the Declaration of Independence, taken their option to become, or as they considered it, to continue British Subjects; the business of the corporation lay dormant, or suspended until the Definitive Treaty of Peace, and the Acknowledgment of our Independence by Great-Britain, in 1783. Our Church then, as set forth in the journals of the subscquent general convention of our Bishops, Clergy, and Laity, proceeded to organize itself, under the name of “ The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America." Under that organization, it was attempted to revive the foregoing plan, for the relief of the widows and children of the Clergy, in its original extent, as comprehending the three contiguous States of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; but foreseeing difficulties in such revival, so as to answer the pious purposes of the charity in its full extent; it was unanimously agreed to divide the stock, and to leave the members in each of the three States, to organize themselves, under the original charters, into separate corporations, with the aid and sanction of clauses of the charters, especially after the Declaration of Inde. pendence, required alteration; and particularly the following; viz. “ We do hereby, for us, our heirs and successors, ordain, “ order, and appoint, that the accounts and transactions of the " said Corporation, legally and properly vouched and authenti6 cated, shall, from time to time, and as often as demanded, be “ laid before the Lords Archbishops, of Canterbury and York, “ and the Bishop of London for the time being, or such person “ and persons as they may, from time to time appoint for that |
