reans and Stoics , " I . should like to know what au Unitarian is I" the excellent preacher under took , in the spirit of Christian courtesy , to furnish his Lordship with a reply ; we can only wish that it may be as well considered by him as it well deserves to be . It will assuredly reach his Lordship ; for its publication
was unanimously requested the next day , accompanied by a resolution that he might be supplied with a copy . Whether he will take the pains to satisfy his " liking , " we doubt ; but the public at least will have the opportunity of judging whether it is a reply that ought to satisfy . Wednesday morning a sermon was delivered by the Rev . W . Turner , of
Newcastle , from 2 Tim . iu 7 , on the necessity of careful attention and serious consideration to that understanding of the Christian doctrine which the apostle prays that the Loid may give , but which it cannot be hoped that he will give to those who use not the appointed means ;
that , therefore , supine indolence and implicit credulity are gross violations of Christian duty . The Association , after having held a meeting for business , sate down , to the number of sixty , at three o ' clock , to an economical dinner ; and at
six , found it necessary to put a stop to much interesting and instructive conversation , in order to attend the evening service , when the Rev . R . Cree , of Preston , delivered an elaborate and very interesting discourse from 2 Cor . v . 18 , in which
he took an enlarged and comprehensive view of the great scheme of Providence for the government and gradual correction and melioration of the world , shewing that * ' all things are of God ; " that Christianity is a part of this scheme , designed and carrying on under the special direction of the one God , whose messenger , minister , and
servant , the Lord Jesus Christ is , and admirably calculated , for its completion ; andthat the Unitarian form of Christianity is the best calculated for carrying to ultimate perfection its important objects . This sermon also , though not delivered in time for being noticed by the association as a body , received so rnany individual requests for its publication , that we are happy to learn its
ingenious author has consented to send it to the press . May we be allowed to > su Sgest a wish that he would piiut it in the same forra with the Course of Lectures on the Evidences which he has announce d , from which a perusal of the Prospectus issued leads us to hope for
great benefit , particularly to our rising generation , and to which this discourse would prove an admirable supplement . h * L ** evot tonal services were conducted oj Messrs . Tagart , Ketley , and Martiau > of Manchester College . York .

dissociated Ministers of Lancashire and Cheshire . The Annual Meeting of the Associated Ministers of Lancashire and Cheshire , took place on the 16 th of June * Jasi , in the Bank-Street Chapel , Bolton . In the absence of the Rev . W . Tate , of Chorley , the devotional services were conducted
by the Rev . J . Yates , of Liverpool , and the Rev . N . Jones , of Todmorden . The sermon was preached by the Rev . W . Hincks , of Liverpool , from 1 Thess . ii . 4 , in which , after shewing the nature and source of that influence which Christian ministers should possess , he pointed out some of the circumstances aud
occasions in which the teachers of religion were most liable to transgress the precept in his text , " not as pleasing men , but God ; " and censured , with considerable justness , the practice of preaching panegyrical funeral orations , no less than flattering the humours and prejudices of the people . At a meeting of the
ministers in the Chapel , after the religious services , the Rev . C . Wallace , of Altringham was appointed the supporter to the preacher for the next Annual Meeting at Mosely-Street Chapel , Manchester . The business of the Missionary Society was
then transacted , and a series of resolutions were submitted and passed , which separate the future proceedings of this Society from the Provincial Meeting . It was also agreed to connect the Missionary Society with the London Unitarian Association .
The Meeting was numerously attended both by ministers and their lay friends , and about seventy of them afterwards dined together , B . R . D ., Secretary .
