wisdom have afforded us of the folly , brutality and malignity of vice , than that it should lead men to crucif y the beloved of God ? The scheme of salyation by Jesus Christ is a theme on winch I dwell with increasing delight ,
$ feeling which is certainly not diminished by a firm and unshaken belief in the truth oX that saying in Johft * that he is the propitiation for our sins , and not for ours only , but also for the sins of the whole world . This *
however , is a testimony for its proper season . The great majority of good men even are not yet prepared to receive it , and it is not surprising that few comparatively are able to pene- > trate the clouds and darkjiess which
environ the Divine throne ; but m his own good time he will send forth hia light and his truth , and then we shall see eye to eye * In the mean time the main consideration with us should ttndoubtedjy be to obtain the pearl of great price , the hidden treasure , the well of living water , and , as I said in a former communication * whichever
of us shall first succeed , will not want the means of convincing the other that he has gained the object of his quest . There will be no need of many words ; a few emphatic phrases and expressive looks will speak volumes . Yours affectionately , I .
P . S . We are all well . No letters * - —As far as I am concerned , there Is no need for the discontinuance of old habits . You never made a greater mistake than in supposing that I took your reproofs in ill part . I should , indeed , consider myself in a deplorable condition if I hated reproof .
[ To be continued . ] Dr . Carpenter ' s Proposal of a General Subscription to Mr . Wright ' s forthcoming * " Review of his Missionary LifeP
Sir , Jan . 15 , 1824 . SOME months ago , a correspondent of yours , ( one of a family honourably known among Unitarians , ) quo ^ ted a passage from the preface of pay Beply to Archbishop Magee , expresr sive of my high estimate of the services rendered to the cause of Cjhristi&tt trutlji , by our greatly respected friend Mr ?* Wright ^ and made it the ground * work ' 'of . an appeal to the Unitarian

publk , to mark their sense of those services , now that our |» sfcMissionary has seen fit to retire from the labours which have beer * s <* eminently and extensively useful . I cannot doubt that numbers , like myself , were quite alive to the appeal ; but did net
perceive haw it could be followed up . Is not a suitable opportunity afforded , by the approaching publication of Mr * Wright ' s Review of his Missionary-Life and Labours , which has been * announced in the Repository ?* I doubt not it will prove a work of
interest and value ; but I hope I may suggest with success , the desirableness of our manifesting by an ample subscription list , that we appreciate highly the services lie has rendered * ( the effects of which will long conti ? iinej as well as that we are aware that he has received from us a
very inadequate remuneration for the strength and time and abilities employed in our common cause . For such reward I am sure he did not labour ; but the labourer is worthy of his hire .
May I venture , through this channel , to propose to my brother minis * ters and other fellow-labourers , that we make a common effort in the proposed direction ; and to express the hope , that should they see objections which I do not , they will not allow slight ones to interfere with such a tribute of respect and gratitude *
LANT CARPENTER . P . S . If you agree with me in the mode , ( in the object I am sure you will , ) perhaps you will oblige me t > y adding your sanction . No one knows
better than yourself , the merits of the individual . If during the month of February a list of names can be transmitted to Mr . Wri g ht , it ipay be in time to be given in his publication . l
