Critical Sympste ef the Monthly Re * ; ..,, ¦ gjmifory *? By am ^ merfcafo Conclusionof Professor - Cfoene * viere ' s Defence * Uhis indeed is a most spirited and able artidte& I do not know that there is too much warmth in it , considering- all the circnimstanees . —Th « contrast between Christianity and' Methodism would make a fine tract for distribution * I
do not recollect any composition where the peculiar merits of the two sides of the question are more happily summed tip ^ It were ta be * disked that the ProlSessoc bad subsequently gone into same detail as to the re * . lative strength and prospects of parties in Geneva .
mn * Gogan inifoplyt&Mr . Stuvch , appears to me in most points to have conducted a successful defence . I had not read this reply when I made my remarks on ftfo » Sturch ' s strictures , and am happy to perceive some traces of coincidence bfctwfcen Mr . C . '& thoughts and my own .
The suggestions of B . in the next article I should presume are quite unanswerable . Mr . Flower ' s recommendations are worthy of being adopted , and the principle of them extended to every erroneous translation or difficult
passage which occurs in the public read * ing of the Scriptures . Vindew receives all my sympathy , not only in point of deep respect and jregard for a lady of Mrs . M-ttgkes ' s character , but also in the firmness with which he has remonstrated against her mistaken zeal *
Cornfah Correspondence * I had run through this portion of it when I made my remarks on the last Number , and have not much more to say . I would ask Mr * Towasend whether
he would not confidently rely on the atonement made by the sacrifice of a human being , if God had appointed such a-method of remitting the sins of mankind . Allowing that the Scripture contains the doctrine of an
Atonement by Jesus Christ * yet tUetfe is no fact in existence mom indiapttta * ble , than that the Scriptures give not the least shadow of intimation that the Iking who makes the atortemeftt must he ntfctfs * a # ily and for that purpose divine . The trtoth is , that the

two doctrine of thfe divinity of Christ and of th ^ Atonement have bec » on * warrantabl e utted to boteter up each other . Even if they were both tree , there is not , according ta tte Scripture , the sligbtes t connexion betwceA 4 b 6 fa ^ . v ^^ Tboine ^ -- t : ^ 1 io bdfeve Ife b ^ th ,
may fancy ^ ind ^ sd , 8 i ¥ cb a connexion , and devise gome reasons for it , such as the infillJte nature of sin requiring an infinrte atonement , and the like . But In Vain d 01 s ^ earcli the Neiw 'Fefctanlent for a justification of these devices . - ¦ ; ( : - ' ¦¦¦¦ * '¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ . : ¦ ' .
Summ&ry of the Cohtrfoer ^ hg I . J ^< Vvtf fair fiwr a ^ Unftaima ; i # h <* has ^ & right to present the sfcto * ject in the most favourable light he can for his own side , without perverting or misrepreseriting- thfe ^ facts . Certainly , a gbdd deal catttee picked out of Mr . Le Grice ' s correspondence , which will not tell well for that
zealous and apparently conscientious gentleman . Bat a correspondent of the Christian Observer might undoubtedly present a very different view of the matter ^ Fortunately , the cause of truth is not identified with that of any local squabble . Brevis on the Athannswn CveetL
The object of this satire is undoubtedly feiir gamg * But we Uftitarians have gained nothing , I think , by mockery . We should not like to see it turned upon ourselves * The strain of irony in this piece is not , to my taste , of a high order .
MK Wallace in Reply to Mi * . Frend has exhibited much learned and ingenious criticism . Still retaining / however , the opinions I expressed in my retaarks on M § v Fretad ' s fcotiimunication , it seems to ttte superfluous for Mr . Walkce so atixJously to defend our Saviour from the charge
of superstition id adopting jmmseo * logy , of \ Vhich the origin happened to be superstitious . Friendly Correspondence continued * This coflrfesporiderice is intfeed at curiosity . How original ! Wlkat a mighty play between two strfthg minds ,
each of which , for diffet € ittt purposes , is striving to k ^ ep otf frdm the down * - right point at issue , but ate at last led by an irresisrtible attraction t 6 Iriisli together in thd tomttst . Never wei'e the workings of character more coitepieaously displayed . Mr . Adam on renouncing Tfrinita *
