Mr . Cogan on the Greek Article . Tkere ^ are several points of sound and interesting criticism in this communication , but the thread is xather &bscurely conducted through them .
I am struck by the fallowing rule : € i It is worthy of observation , that the epistolary writers of the New Testament do not commonly use the article with an attributive standing before the name of Jesus Christ , when such an attributive is introduced bv a
conjunction , the word ® e < k having preceded" The peculiar influence of the circumstance stated in this last clause is certainly very curious . Would no other word but ® eo $ have the same effect ? Unitarian critics are bound
to investigate the nature and rationale of this rule , if it can possibly be done .
Essay on the incidental Communication of Religious Knowledge to the Young , contains much good sense . Mr . Worsley on Unitarian Missionary Preaching . Some of this advice I should think excellent . I
regret to see some too contemptuous expressions coming from such a quarter . " Reports well enough got up . " What a fine bone for the enemies of Unitarianism to pick I The custom of sending out desultory missionaries might be injudicious if continued indefinitely . But under certain
circumstances , I can conceive of nothing more useful to the cause at large than these explorers and pioneers . Even if they get pelted with mud , it is a fact worth knowing . And if any where they are respectfully listened to by considerable numbers , it is better still .
American Roman Catholics . Years ago have I often heard the excellent Catholic Bishop Cheverus , formerly of Boston , read one of the regular prayers of his Church , in which the President of the United States , by name , with all others in authority , were commended to the especial blessing of God .
J ) r . J . Jones on Mark and Luke , exhibits , in many things , the usual acutcness of his penetration . But has he not deceived himself in his argument for the " internal evidence " that Luke was one of those who ivent to Einrnaus ? Although Luke ' * in three places ases the first for the

third person , " yet does not the con text sufficiently shew that he is relating the conversation of other persons besides himself ? The remarks on the identity of Mark and Cleopas are to me somewhat confused .
Dr . Jones has poured more valuable light on St . Paul ' s precepts respecting anger . Persecution of Elias Hickes . The readers of the Repository will be glad to learn that Elias Hickes and his
cause are making triumphant progress among his sect at New York . At their General Meeting the last spring , Unitarian preaching and liberal measures overwhelmingly prevailed . The Unitarians of this
denomination , however , stand decidedly aloof from those of all others . ladeed , Elias Hiekes , though he now extensively reads our publications , arrived at bis present views solely by his own unassisted reflections and
perusal of the Scriptures . Probably not a hundredth part of his followers know any thing of the great controversy that is prevailing in the Christian world at large . John Griscona , one of the sect , a Professor in the
Columbia College , at New York , and author of a very intelligent book of Travels in Great Britain , still retains the faith of Trinitarians . In the towns of New Bedford and Lynn , in Massachusetts , two flourishing
Unitarian congregations possess a generous proportion of regular worshipers , who but a short time since were the highly-respected followers of Penn . Rammohun Roy . An edition of his writings is now going through the press in New York ,
Mr . Bakewell in Reply to Lr . Smith . The lovers of light and pleasant reading must feel an obligation to these two gentlemen for the entertaimnent and instruction which lias
been furnished by them during the past year . They have very much enlarged our knowledge of the state ot things in Geneva ; and they have taught both us and themselves the lesson ,
