Spears that Mr , Aspland ' s first tibfrtti w 4 s , to convince his correspondent , that the proper queStiort to be examined is , ct What is the revelation already given to all then , in thfe Scriptures of truth , gnd to be learned from them by patient , attentive ^ impartial examination ?

humanity of Jesus Christ , and the placability of the Father of Mercies , he adds , ( in language , I admit , which , though adopted from the Apostle Paul , I should riot have chosen to rise , because an

of the dead , in Dissenting chapels . I have not seen any thing of the kind , in the few that I have had an opportunity of visiting , and t cannot help lamenting ( the deficiency . These tender reniembrancers
of our departed friends , can hardly fail to endear , and increase our ve « neration for , the place where they are presented to our view ; and the contemplations which they are
calculated to excite in our minds , must be farvourabfe to the grand ob- * ject for which such buildings are erected . There is something striking and sacred , even to strangers , in these memorials of those who
have been ! and 1 know not whether the habit of beholding such as must particularly interest them , might not be a check upon the unfeeling levity with which we see
some young persons quitting , for a more &howy and crowded scene , the place where threir fathers worshiped . That there is no bury ing-ground belonging to a chapel , appears to to me no objection , but rather to form an additional reason for a
Dissenter upon principle , wKo is , in compliance with the common dectricies of life , obliged to be laid in consecrated ground , and to have a service read over his
remains , which declares hitn to die in a faith which he utterly rejects : all this seems to render it still more desirable that some
memorial should atrest the truth * on the spot where he was in che habit of supplicating the Musi High , and where his family and fritnds still meet , for the Same solemn purpose *
Whatever may have been thp opinions of those reformer ^ who are said scarcely to have tolerated cleanliness in their places
