Uniiaridn Society * The Anniversary of the Unitarian Society was held on Thursdayi the 31 st of March , and was rendererl peculiarly interesting by its being announced in public advertisements , as a com
memoration of the repeal of the penal statutes against Anti-Trinitarians , by Mr . Smith's Bill . In the morning there was divine service at Essex Street / when a sermon was pieached , in reference to the occasion , by the Rev . T . Belsham ; who , from the very appropriate text , Isaiah ; xxxix . 8 , [ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah %
good is the word of the Lord which thttit hast spoken . He said moreover , for theft shall be peace and truth in my days ?] expatiated with fervour upon the un < 3 e * niably happy state of the present time&J Within the last half century , he shewed ! that the intellectual improvement bjf the country has been rapidly acceiera ^ ted ;—its moral progress has kept paec with its intellectual ;—and the know - *
ledge and practice of religion have borne ( a due proportion to our other improve *^ ments . Here Mr . Belsham introduced ! the history of the Unitarian Society , from its commencement , when men of
our principles almost looked round iri vain for congenial minds , to the present times , when the pure Christian doc trifle is professed by thousands , and Unitarian ^ are taken under the protection of the law . He concluded with three
interesting reflections , — l . The history of th <|* human mind an argument for the inde * finite iniproveaoleness and ultimate perfectibility of the species . 56 , Hoyr great the goodness of God , in creating a race of beings capable of such indefi * nite improvement . 3 , How greatl jf indebted are we to the gospel tor the view of a future life , and how
acceptable the gospel on this account' to men of philosophic minds . ^ After service the society tinet fdf business in the Vestry , PfiTEK Mafc ^ tineau , Esq . in the chair , wli < itJi thanks were voted to Mr , BclshanV'fofc
his suitable ' and animated sermon , angl a request was made that he wpuld pritijb it , i ^ ith which he qonipti cd : —for ttiifc reason we have contented ourselves \\ Iilk a very birief abstract of it . The mifriutep of the committee informed the meetirig of what appeared to give general ana high satisfaction ; namely , that Dr .
Priestley s tracts m contiovcr » y with Bp . Horslcy , were reprinting by the ocicty in one tafciMteoiUf TIN YOlmn ^
