proposes to deliver a series of lectures once a fortnight on the Sunday evening , on the various doctrines of reputed orthodoxy , 1 st , which appear to impeach the character of God , " 2 nd , which appear to contradict the scriptural doctrine of the Person of Christ .

Proposed New Chapel at Sheerness . Sir , Permit me through the medium of the Repository to lay the following case before the Unitarian public ; a case which I feel both a pleasure and duty respectfully but earnestly to recommend to , § & § attention of the benevolent and liberal .
It is now more than three years ; since I first succeeded in establishing a yrusarian Society at Sheerness , the first-fruits of my mission ; since which I liave often visited them , and can bear testimony to
their zeal and prudence . They meet three times a-week , twice on Sunday , and once on a week evening : and they have also established a small library . The religious services are alternately conducted by two or three friends , in # man * -

ner highly creditable to theiuselv ^ s , and to the cause of truth : and > all things considered , they are generally pretty well attended . But Unfortunately the place they meet in is not only so very obscurely situated as to render it unknown even to many in the very neighbourhood itself ,
and almost impossible for a stranger to find out , but the entrance to it down a dirty , narrow lane , is so exceedingly disagreeable and repulsive , as to deter many from coming who , under more favourable circumstances , would be induced to attend .
To obviate this obstruction to the progress of Unitarian Christianity in that populous town , which , is already in summer the resort of many strangers * and is likely to become a popular watering-place , the friends there feel desirous of erecting a small chapel in an eligible part of the town . 3 ut they are poor , / ill , '
therefore , which they can contribute towards tlie erection is a piece of ground and most of the labour ; several of them being carpenters and bricklayers , and one of them a painter and glazier , all volunteering their services gratuitously . The
friend who has kindly offered the piece of ground , wHch is situated in front of one of the principal streets , is himself a bricklayer , and has generously engaged to add his skill and labour to the gift of the ground .
It is estimated that the expense of materials ^ and the wages of a joiner , ( not having one of that trade amongst them , ) for making window-frames , door , &c , will not exceed one hundred pounds . Persuaded of the generosity , benevolence and liberality of their Unitarian
brethren , they venture to make this appeal ; and , convinced it will not be i , n vain , they look forward with confidence to such assistance as will justify them in raising a temple dedicated to the only true God , the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and of all mankind .
M . HARDING . October 14 , 1824 , P . S / Contributions to tr ^ is object will be thankfully received , by Rev . M . Harding , Cranbrook ; Thoma ^ H ornby , Esq . Deputy Treasurer , and Rev , * W . J . Fox , Secretary to the Unitarian Fund .
The Unitarian Fund has contributed 10 / ., and a Lady , by Rev . R . Ap plaud , 21 . Should the Unitarian , ^ public be friend this object , a list of the contributors will he inserted on the cover of the Monthly Repository .
