OPENING OF THE NEW UNITARIAN CHAPEL , SOHAM , CAMBRIDGESHIRE . Hear the word of the Lord , ye that tremble at his word ; your brethren that hated you , that cast you out for my na ? ne * s sake , said . Let the Lord be glorified £ but be sball appear to your joy , and they shall be ashamed * Isaiah lxvi . 5 .
In our abstract of the Report of the Committee of the Unitarian Fund , vol . iv . p . 463—468 , we gave an account of the Unitarian congregation at Son am , Cambridgeshire , and announced their intention , under the sanction of their
friends , of erecting a new place of worship . The building was completed within a twelvemonth of their being ejected from their former meeting-house , and was opened with religious services on Tuesday and Wednesday , the 3 d and 4 th instant .
On the Tuesday evening , Mr . Wright , of Wisbeach , introduced the service by reading the Scriptures , and delivering an address on the right of private judgment . Mr . Aspland undertook the remainder of it , and delivered a discourse , from O-al . vi . 14 , on gloryingti » \ the cross , « Q which he endeavoured to show , that

may be expected to live ; and from the specimen we have given of the published Tracts , we are entitled to conclude , that they cannot be read without making an impression favourable to the pure Christian doctrine .
The re-publication of the " Improved Version , " at Boston , is an additional reason for our expecting the growth of Unitarianism in the United States . Its appearance has , we are assured , excited great attention ? and much alarm among Evangelical" believers . "

the peculiar doctrine of the apostles was that now held by Unitarians , of a crucified many whose death was total , and who was raised again by the power of God to exemplify the resurrection of all mankind . He pointed out the various devices , in ancient and modern times , to take off the shame of the cross , * and
¦ which have made it of none effect . In conclusion , he exhorted his hearers to inquire for the old paths and walk therein $ and while so many Christians maintain the notion that Christ was God , and as such did not , and could not die , to be
stedfast in the simplicity of Christy -as to his nature and work , * who diedfor cur sins and rose again for our justification . The service , on , Wednesday morning , was opened by Mr , ^ sp land also * who , after reading the Scriptures , addressed the congregation on the meaning of the
