holy man , who would , be beKeved , constitute one of the most brilliant gems in the Saviour ' s crown ! " I pity from my heart / says our tender-hearted writer , " a man of Dr . Priestley ' s eminent character dying in hope that HeU will not be eternal . " We thank the " Evangelical Maga-1

An Ex-Calvinist . March 12 , 18 O 6 # .
