as the gift of the grace and favour of God , for which we ought humbly and heartily to give him thanks , and for the continuance and extension of which we ought to pray , whatever be the instrumentality by which this good influence may have been exerted . I am aware that this whole view of
the subject is exposed to objections , arising from the difficulty of reconciling the exercise of Divine Providence with the accouqtableness of man ; but this is a difficulty which , like the origin and existence of evil , must press equally upon every theory connected with theological speculation .

Warwick , Sir , July 13 , 1819-IN the List of Congregational Subscriptions to the Unitarian Association , ( see p . Q of the Report of the
Committee , ) I observe our congregation is justly mentioned ; but the name of our highly-respected minister , Rev . William Field , is by some means omitted . I sliould not have
troubled you , Sir , with a correction of this , but from the circumstance , that at this season of the year , a number of strangers from all parts of the United Kingdom , visit the neighbouring Spa of Leamington ; of course , among them there are many Antitrinitarians ,
and this being the nearest Unitarian place of worship , ( a ' delightful walk of two miles , ) such as are desirous of paying their adorations to the one only living and true God , will most likely be at a loss unless they inquire for Mr . Field ' s chapel . Divine service commences at eleven in the
morning , and six in the evening . J . ARMSTRONG . T \ S . I mention the time from the following suggestion of your Correspondent W . Whitfield , [ XI 11 . SO 5 , ] * ' You will , no doubt , be perfectly aware of the usefulness of a complete list of the Unitarian places of worship
in the United Kingdom \ the names of the towns in which they are to be found , alphabetically Jirranged ; the name of the chapel , if any ; the situation in each town ; the name of the preacher , and the time at which the different services commence , " &c . 1 beg to say that , with the assist-

Sjr , July 10 , 1819 . DO not find in the writings of I those who have entered into the controversy concerning the authenticity of St . Paul ' s Epistles , that they have paid any attention to the only
argument , ui my opinion , which ought to have decided the question long sine ? : 1 presume , therefore , to state what the inspired apostle has said , to lead us to the proper proof ; and we , as Christians , are bound to take his
sacred word . In his second Epistle to the Thessalonians , chap . iii . ver . 17 , he says , The salutation by the hand of me , Paul , which is rny token ( seal or mark ) in every Epistle , Thus I write . In examining the other Epistles , I can find this mark or token
only in the following—1 Cpr . xvi . 21 : The salutation of me , Paul , with my own hand . Col . iv , 18 : The salutation by the hand of me , Paul . Gal . vi . 11 : Ye see how large an Epistle I have written to you with my own hand .
Philemon , ver . 19 I Paul have written it with my awn hand . In this last quotation the apostle introduces his name as much as a pledge for the payment of a sum of money , as a proof of the authenticity of his epistle .
In no other letters bearing his name , do I perceive this essential mark or token , which the apostle makes use of to distinguish his own authentic writings from those which were written in his name , but without
his authority : not having his liand and seal solemnly pledged for their authenticity . It was rtot necessary , perhaps , for the apostle to make the same solemn asseveration in his private correspondence with an intimate friend and companion , such as Timothy w ^ s ; but in writing to a public body of Christians , there was great
