Sir , Edinl'urgJL , Feb . 14 f 184 7 . BSERVING in your Number Ofor December last , a letter from a " Constant Reader" relative to tfcie fund lately instituted for building &n Unitarian chapel in this city , 1 beg leave to request your attention and that of your readers to some further observations on the subject , resulting from the perusal of the letter in que , s ~
tion . , It is to be observed , then , that the operations of this fund are not expected nor intended to be immediate ; the great exertions which the society find it necessary to make , in order ta provide as liberally for their future minister ^ as their circumstances • will
allow , and to defray the necessary expences of public worship , entirely preclude the possibility of this at present . We are strongly persuaded , therefore , that the most certain m ^ aus
of procuring to ourselves , a decent house of public worship , is by the constant operation of such a fund as this . And we fee ] qor \ fident tbatJaowever small the annual or occasional
contributions may be , they mus £ ultu mately effect the . purpose intended , if not diverted from their , proper channel j to guard against which is ibe chief duty of those who have , taken the management of them . . ,,
On submitting the plan ,, therefore which appeared m your Repository for October last , to the . society , here r at a meeting held for that purpose , the projectors were anxious to impress strongly on the minds of the society what their object was in the
estabJiehment of such a fund ; that it . was wot expected nor even wished that any one would direct any part of his resources toward $ this purpose , however he might approve of the object which the promoters of it had id view , unless he could do so without
eucroaching in the smallest degree on bis contribution towards the swpf * prt of public worship , which must always be regarded as the prii&ary abjepfc i the intention of the prelectors being net * o much to dq a great u ^ e&l aa to
