    mas ; which prove nothing , unless it fee that the party who resorts to trwm is the subject of a weak understanding , conjoined with a wicked spirit . " ( p . 10 . ) ic forming an estimate of character , aricj with regard to religious intercourse , it rnust be admitted that the sentiments of some are so awfully wide o £ the truth , that one cantiot think highly of them as believers in Jesus Christ ; nor is

    spiritual intercourse with them practicable . But does this supersede moral obligation ? Does this afford the smallest pretext for treating them with disrespect ; withhold * ing from them the ' charities of life , i& . fringing their liberties , or rendering them uncomfortable in society ?

    1 S 10 , J uly 16 , at Gloucester , aged 67 , RICHARp CHANDJLER , Esq . In him this city has lost an inhabitant , who stood high in general respect and esteem , and the Unitarian congregation in > the place ar most valuable and important mernber . Mr . Chandler was a constant

    assertor of the principles of civil and religious liberty , a well-informed and consistent dissenter , and a zealou 3 supporter of Unitarian worship . But never in any person was a manly aad steady attachment to his own principles more happily blended with candour towards others , than in him . He had a strong

    impression of the falsehood , and mischievous consequences of those doctrines which derogate from the unity and supremacy of the one God , and sink the value of good works in comparison of faith . But such liberality , moderation and gentleness were there in his sentiments and manners , that persons of all opinions were pleased with his society

    and happy to make him their friend . He possessed a cultivated mind , a clear and sound judgment , and a heart of great sensibility and tenderness . He was , in short , a sensible man , a most just and upright man , a benevolent , hospitable , kind-hearted man , and few of our frail race have ever had a better title to the

    character of a good man . He was therefore highly valuable in the situation which he occupied , and his loss will long be felt and lamented by his near relatives and friends , by his poor dependants , by the religious congregation to which , he belonged ^ and by the general society of the city , of Gloucester . _ R .

    abovementioned worthy divine , was a very pious and excellent woman ; and under her tender care and good instruction he was , in his early youth , brought under very serious impressions of religion . In consequence of the views and feelings which Were thus excited in his mind ,
