    contrary to the Scriptures , On parting , my friend put your Magazine for December into my hand , observing at the same time , that it was the " Repository of rational Christianity , and intended to subvert those errors which

    for centuries had been obnoxious to our people /' VVitb this recommendation I put it in my pocket , and when at home was not a little curious
