Opening- of Unitarian Chapel , Willington , Cheshire . Nantwich , Sept . 15 , 1823 . On Tuesday , August 19 , a new Chapel was opened for the worship of the Only True God the Father , at the village of Wiliington , in Cheshire , three miles from Tarporley , and eight from Chester , by
the Rev . John Grundy , of Manchester . A congregation of about seventy heard , with great attention , a very interesting and argumentative sermon from Mr . Grundy , from Acts xvii . 20 . In this discourse the leading principles of Unitarian Christianity were perspicuously presented to the > lew of the hearers , and delivered in an unaffected but animated
strain of natural eloquence ; and there is every reason to believe , that a number who had not been accustomed to the preaching of Unitarian Christians , will in future entertain not only more correct , but also mdre favourable views of Unitarians and their principles . The friends to the cause who were present dined
together to the number of nearly fifty , at an inn at Kelsal , rather more than a mile from the chapel . In the afternoon , the Rev . J . Philp , of Whitchurch , delivered to about tjie saine number of hearers a very judicious view of Unitarian principles , from Mark viii . 29 . The hearers were very attentive , and
many of them expressed themselves much pleased with what they had heard . In the evening , the Rev . James Hawkes , of Nantwich , addressed a somewhat smaller audience than the two farmer , from John iv . 21 . The preacher endeavoured to impress upon his hearers , consisting principally of the labouring class , not only
the acceptableness of the sincere worship of the Father alone , but also the correctness Of such worship supported by the ^ Saviour himself in this and ill other parts of tiie gospel , sanctioned by his own example , and also by the example of tbe apos ^ es . The Rev . Mi % Bake well , of Chiestety took the introductory j > art of

of Unitananism . He has given the ground on whieh the chapel is built , besides contributing in other respects very liberally towards the accomplishment of the object ia which his heart was much interested . J . H .
