It never became univer- sal ; for the power of the synod, which recommended it, was only advisory. But a great change was effected ; 25 and, in general, the collision between citizenship and church-membership was really at an end. Not a few in New England were now ready to write "Ichabod" upon all the pillars of the churches. It has been thought, that such a change would have been impossible, during the lives of the most able and influen- tial of the first generation of ministers. These were no...w nearly all gone, and the residue were just going. It had become a common remark, it has been said, that the old and tried ministers, and other venerable men, were fast ceasing from the land ; and a frequent lamentation anticipated a most disastrous withering of the hopes, which had been watered with their tears, at the feet of their sympathizing Redeemer and Lord. But the " vine out of Egypt " which had been " planted " among " the heathen," was not thus soon to be forsaken by Him, that " dwelleth between the cherubim." Already it had been " caused to take deep root." " The hills were covered with the shadow of it," and "the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars." The " hedges " were not " broken down," that " the boar out of the wood " should " waste it," and " the wild beast of the field devour it." The predominant influence in all matters, both of State and Church, was decidedly that of the former generation.
