No . 2 of these tracts is the production of a man who is quite alive to the . danger of attention . We should like to hear him preach on * ' prove all things , " The followiug is his energetic exhortation to " hold fast what is" not " good . " " Fellow-citizens ,
" Perhaps some of you may thiiikp that though Mr . Struthers heard Mn Harris pray , that he was not bound tu say 6 Ameu' to bis prayers , and that he did wrong in not going to the funeral s as he might have been the means of imparting consolation to the bereaved , and of doing good to Mr . Harris . But L ask you , would it have been right ?—would
it not have been very sinful to go and hear a man insult the Almighty to his face ? Are we not told that the prayers of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord ? Aud that , though Mr . Harris may be what is commonly called a moral and virtuous man , yet , as a Uuitarian minister , he must be a wielied man—a daring , presumptuous sinner- —running
agaiust the thick bosses of Jehovah ' s buckler , and therefore his prayers must be an abomiuation to the Lord , his services being most derogatory to the glory of the Redeemer , and most insulting to his high Majesty . If you admit that \ t is a sin to hear his prayers , as I am sure every godly Trinitarian must , then I ask ^ could you expect that God would hear
the prayers of Mr . Strutuers for spiritual ^ ood eithe r for the on e or the . other I Surely not . TLeu , let me entreat you ^ never to hear your Maker ujsulted , expecting that good may come . .
