wd ^(^ . ^ t ^ Ei ^ liA ^ i ^ KeftMi ^ fixii ^ , iJafe caoubdl »; 2 alIdW :-m ] i 3 f ^ '' ^ ffer from him « what he deems&sentia& ^ his object with candour , < charity * && prudence * - He \ has done more to give publicity to what he calls Ariatiism than aH the supposed professors of it in the Synod ; and if a considerable progress fee now making in the sentiments he abhors , we must ascribe it in a great degree to his own exertions .
From -the Report of the Committee in correspondence with Government , we find that five new congregations have been appointed to receive the third classo { Eoyal Bounty , i . e . £ 50 per annum each . More claims are under eonadseratiou , ; and this is one cause why some members of the Synod are so anxious t 6 be thought well of by Government . We wish , indeed , that out ? Irish brethren had not such a temptation to influence them . There has ,
however , been a change of Ministry , which is not favourable to the insti ** gators i of religious animosity , and we should not be surprised if this change produceda happy effect on some of our church militant , especially as they have lately had a valuable lesson given to them by Dr . Chalmers . ufAihongst the overtures we find several motions , the consideration of which # asr I deferred to next year . These were a motion for promoting a unionwith the Seceders , a body of Presbyterians remarkable for their strict adherence to the Westminster Confession ; a motion for a second annual
meeting of Synod for promoting the advancement of religion ; and a motion that no candidate for the ministry shall be licensed or ordained by any Presbytery until he subscribes the Westminter Confession . Several memo * rials were presented respecting new congregations or new elections * but there was nothing interesting . From a list at the end of the Minutes ^ it ap pears that there are sixty-nine licentiates , or persons authorized to preach , who have not yet obtained congregations . The Synod broke up on Wednesday * 4 th July , being the ninth day . Many of the discussions will be renewed at
the next Synod , when a fuller attendance may be expected ; and whatever the result may be , we cannot entertain a doubt that the diseussionk which have taken place , and those which may be expected , will contribute to the diffusion of religious knowledge . We anticipate also the progress of our own opinions , because we believe them to be true ; and as we can have no motive for advocating them but such belief , we sincerely pray , that if this be not so , our eyes , and those of all others , may be opened to see , and our hearts prepared to receive , the truth , even as it is in Jesus .
