    every assistance in my power , will be cheerfully given ; and I do wot doubt that he may look with confidence-for the best adviee and most efficient assistance from my friend Mr . Turner . If the room can be procured which

    your correspondent mentions , J hope there will be no great difficulty of obtaining supplies for a time . I believe I may venture to say , that my flock will * now and then , spare me a sabbath , for the purpose of visiting Durham , if my services should he acceptable .

    As the mind is not easily roused from the torpor of indifference , Philo-Unitas would-do well to procure some two or three sermons of the Rev . R . Cree ' s of Preston , and circulate them amongst his friends , the title of which is , " Indifference to the Cause of

    Truth worse than Infidelity . " This discourse is moderate , sensible , and judicious ; and is well calculated to awaken from the sleep of indifference . I shall be very glad- ' however to learn , that no stimulus of this kind is needed ; but that the Durham Unitarians have

    already " counted the cost / and find that they have sufficient decision , 2 eal , and perseverance , to build themselves up together for a habitation of God " the Father , " through the spirit /* Philo-Unitas , at the close of Jiis communication , speaks rather

    uncourteously of extempore prayer , and for no other reason , that I can discover , than that he has had bad specimens of it from orthodox preachers , some of whom , in thfeir public devotions , it must be confessed , are in the habit of making long and rambling digressions . But before he indulges

    in reflections upon extempore prayer in general , let him first hear how public prayer is conducted by Unitarian ministers , who , if he leave them to adopt their own plan , will probably not often offend him by extempore prayer , as they mostly use precomposed prayers . J . C . MEEKE .

    on several points , res ^ qtiiig- Which our information could Only rest upon private assert ion * I am gra&ifi $ A at finding that many of my "former reflections , suggested fay a pt&usal tif Mr . Smith ' s letters , coincide vtdtli the remarks here nvatie by so calm , and , I presume , respectable an observer .

    Dr . Smith ' s Reply to CjkeneviSre , &c . Rambling . What kind of a " reply' to M . C . are the two columns entitled M . Curtat ? As I Jiave proceeded along through this spontaneous defence , I have been more antl

    more amazed at its weakness . Can this Dr . Smith be the man , Wliosd attacks your English Unitarians thiflk it worth . while formally to rebut ? After arriving- at' the last wor * d of this

    series , I cannot say that I haverany materially different impressions of the whole case , from those with which I concluded the perusal of ML Chenevifere ' s defence .

    Notes on Passages of Scripture * In general excellent . Perhaps rather too refined in the remarks about anger . I imagine St . Paul qnly referred , to different degrees of that emotion . There is an innocent , ( not to say nenes ^ ary and useful , ) and there is a

    sinful degree of it . To . the former I suppose the Apostle alluded , when he bade the Ephesians to be angry and sin not , and to let not tk sun go down upon tlifeir wrath . Afterwards , in enumerating and prohibiting' several of the highly malignant passions , he

    says , Let all bitterness , and wrath , and anger , and clamour , and evil speaking , be put away from you , with all malice . That is , such a vipient and unrestrained indulgence of anger , as may well be classed among those other evils and affections . Our

    annotator ' s criticisms on Hall ^ t ' s rernark respecting- the word anger in the New-Testament , are loose and little to the point . One word more . Several of his conclusions have a decided squinting at controversy , notwithstanding ' the disclaimer in his luscious motto

    from Bacoiu Urevis—and I may add , et Suayis Do I not recognise in this pitliy _ , earnest , yet occasionally , playfiil contributor , my old friend u Unitarian" the Correspondence ? Wl * y does he not stick , to terms ? He is strictly an Univcrsalist , rather than an Unitarian .
