    at the same time they will entertain unfeigned gratitude to such as feel for the wound that has been inflicted on them in the present instance . Your correspondent , not content with such severe remarks , and

    indirectly applying to Mr . Hughes , has shut out Unitarians from the pale of GlTrfstfanity ^ ftK ^ &ecl&mdr-tkaLtrfor them ' there is no salvation , ' that their creed is a ' withering creed / and that their tenets are' soul-killing / The columns of a commercial

    newspaper are not the channel through wliich a detailed reply to such accusations should come ; the remai'ks that call even for this brief reply should , in my humble opinion , never have had a place in such columns , and I therefore will be as brief as

    possible on the point . The faith wliich has been denounced in your columns requires a firm belief in the one only living and true God , as he was declared to Israel by Moses and the Prophets , and preached to all

    nations by Jesus Christ and his Apostles . It takes the Bible and the Bible onl y as the guide in forming relig ious belief , and adopts it as the only rule to which the Christian is subject in faith and morals ; and in the rules of moral conduct Unitarians

    differ nothing- from the Trinitarian . It rejects the term ' Trinity , because the word is not to be found in either the old or new Testament . It has been said , that Unitarians deny Christ , whereas they accept him as described in the Holy Scriptures , and

    as such acknowledge him to be their Lord and Master , their Saviour and Mediator . This , Sir , is a brief outline of the faith which your correspondent has branded with con-( lenuTation , and which is believed by Unitarians to be the faith once

    delivered to the saints—a faith in which they can acknowledge , as brethren—John Locke , one of the most eminent philosophers of the human mind ; Sir Isaac Newton , whose name stands pre-eminently distinguished in the mmU oi science

    and of biblical research ; John Milton , the illustrious author of ? Paradise Lost / and a long catalogue of men eminent for learning and

    piety , to whom the world looks back with veneration and respect ; and yet for these men your correspondent has told us ' there is no salvation / "iFhafc—th e-Hfonmorta-1—Ruler— -of—the

    hearts of men may inspire him with a better spirit in time to come * is the humble prayer of—A Unitarian Christian .

    Sir ,- ^ -I am desirous of asking a question through the medium either of the * Repository / orthe * Unitarian Chronicle , ' with reference to the Christian Tract Society ^

    At present I must confess myself unable to comprehend what benefit results to the community from the circumstance of the little works that Society has sent forth being published by subscription , and ~ under the auspices of a Society at all , except as a guarantee that they shall contain nothing orthodox .

    Ts this guarantee worth the cost ? I find that 861 . 5 s . have been sub ' scribed during the last year , arid seven of the old tracts reprinted , besides three new ones . Subscribers

    are allowed to purchase tracts at prices somewhat reduced indeed , but still not so low as the Penny Tracts sold by Houlston anci Co . * which are undertaken at a risk , and purchased of the authors at the rate of 31 . for

    every tract of twelve pages . Comparing these with the charity tracts published b y the Chriatiaft Tract Society , I find the former contain in general more letter-press ^ "besides the wood-cut frontispiece ; and that the same reduction is made to those who purchase per dozen , as is made to subscribers to the Christian Tract Society of half-a-guinea annually . Let your readers examine fcjhe Tract of 4 Rebecca Price ,, ' lately published by thftSoctefcy , it contains a We tweftty *
