rinriism . H is Letter to the Missionary Committee is indeed an honour to human nature , and his defence of
himself against Mr . Iviiney Complete , Dr . Evans ' s communication , like all his others , is instructive , ' agreeable , and to the point * I have a fancy that his conversation is in the same style .
» Mr . Baker- on the Old Congregation at Bo / tori . Would it not , thirty years since , have been rather a startling phenomenon , that a clergyman should come forward and claim it as
an honour to his church and congee * gation , to be considered as Uni tartan ; to be jealous of sustaining ariy < jther character , and anxiously to rictifv before the world an accidental rectify before the world an accidental
mistake on the subject 1 I regard this little note to the Editor , therefore , with considerable emotion , as an encouraging * symptom of the actual posture of our cause .
Review of the Life of Toller . A very agreeable narrative . Obituary . Judge Toulrnin . Every sentence deeply interesting . , Let me make one correction of a slight error , which I presume is only typographical . Secretary of the Treasurer should read Secretary of the Treasury .
Monthly Repository for jlpril 1824 . Unitarian Fund Register . No . IV , Mr . Martin ' s Journal is very interesting . The Unitarian Missionary-spirit is not yet started in America . It
would have one advantage here more than in England . The pdiutn excited against it would have no political tinge whatever . Ail religious feelings in this country are purely religious . Power looks not down with the frown
of scorn , rage and jealousy upon the conscientious efforts of any zealous sectarians . While enjoying therefore this happy exemption , I cannot l > ut still more admire the undaunted

to suppose them free firorn ^ re ^ acticwi against the influences which oppress them , would be to suppose them not men . Yet . there is every reason to believe , as far as I can learn * that
their general motives as a sect are as pure as those of any other denomination , not excepting evsn the predominant party who happen ( to use a favourite quaint expression of the historian Neale ) " to be in the saddle . "

A Friend to Sunday-Schools has pointed out an inconsistency in the conduct of Unitarians to which they must plead guilty . Indeed ^ the general fact that predestinarian
religionists are more indefatigable in the use of means , than those Christians who almost contend for the omnipotence of means , is a mysterious problem ; , which I cannot yet resolve .
vindication of Mr . Bellamy , &c . This writer has given some interesting representations , but he is rather misty 111 the results at which he attempts to

Mr . Irving will make no permanent effect in the religious world , and for this plain reason , that he understands nothing of human nature . Mr . Le Or ice on his Correspondence , &c . I really think that the few trifling errors which Mr . JLe Grice has
pointed out in the Summary of L L W W . pointed out in the Summary of . has effected neither the character of that contributor , nor the merits of the general question at ; issue * Mr . jLe Qjrice would be very unreasonable
