    ve an instance in the representation now generally given of the doctrine of tonemen t , so different from that which appears in the older formularies of faith . He paid a just tribute to the zeal and activity of the other denominations of Dissenters ; and called upon Unitarians for increased efforts to promote amongst

    the members of their own body the practical influence of their principles , as the most effectual method of recommending them to others . The next day ' s services were conducted by the Rev . R . Wallace , of Chesterfield , and the Rer . Dr . Carpenter ; whose presence at this Meeting and who

    was an unexpected gratification , very kindly consented to preach the sermon on this day . The object of his discourse was to shew that Unitarian views are most honourable to the Divine character ; in refutation of an opinion recently advanced by Dr . J . P . Smith , in his work ou the Person of Christ , that

    they proceed from low and unworthy conceptions of the Divine character . Dr . Carpenter observed , that on this point at least he had always thought Unitarianism unassailable , and he still thought it invulnerable . With great spirit , but with perfect candour , he drew a contrast between the views of the Divine character

    as deducible from Unitarian and Trinitarian principles . He shewed that honourable and exalted views of the Divine character were naturally cherished by the principles of Unitarianism . It might even be inferred a priori , that they who refused without the fullest evidence to

    admit any claims to a participation of divine honours would be eminently solicitous to cultivate enlarged and becoming sentiments of that great Being , for whose sole honour and incommunicable glory they shewed themselves so much concerned . On the contrary , those systems which present several different objects of

    religious contemplation and divine worship , must have a-pendency to lower and limit our conceptions of the Divine character . He proceeded to shew , by a variety of references to published and well-authenticated statements , that in point of fact such were the opposite tendencies of the two systems . The whole formed a most

    impressive discourse ; and was heard with obvious interest and attention . After the service , the ministers and their friends , to the number of forty , dined together in the Exchange Room , and the afternoon was spent in a manner highly agreeable to all present , In the communication of sentiments on a variety of subjects connected with the cause of truth , and the interests of mankind .
