sive moist look back on imperfection , and will readily acknowledge that they have not yet attained , nor are as yet perfect . This our much-lamented friend well knew and deeply felt . Indeed those who witnessed the spotless character of her life , would have heard with surprise her unaffected acknowledgment of deficiencies and her modest renunciation of reliance
on her own meritorious deeds . In outward conduct malignity itself could find no ground for accusation . For years past , at least , her warfare was within . She shared in the conflict with him who , perfect as he was , was tempted in all
points like as we are and , supported hy his spirit , she , like him , obtained victory here , and is gone to share in his eternal joy . It is possible that those who knew not Miss Gtindry , if they read these lines , may suspect that this is an exag-

DOMESTIC . RELIGIOUS . Re-opening of the Unitarian Chapel , Newport , Isle of Wight . The Unitarian Chapel at Newport , in the Isle Of Wight , having been closed for several weeks for the purpose of
being repaired and enlarged , was re-opened for divine worship on Wednesday , Oct , 12 th . The religious service in the morning was introduced by the Rev . J . B . Bristowe , of Ringwood . The Rev . Russell Scott , of Portsmouth , dedicated this temple anew in a most solemn and
devotioual prayer to the worship and service of the one true and living God . An excellent sermon was delivered by the Rev . Michael Maurice , of Southampton , on the duty and advantages of social worship , by whom were also conducted the devotional services of the
evening . The Rev . Russell Scott afterwards preached from the words of our Saviour , ** Ye worship ye know not what , but we know what we worship /' and gave a rapid but comprehensive sketch of the corruptions of the pure doctrines of Christ and his apostles by their admixture with the Platonic
notions so prevalent m the first ages of the Christian Church . The preacher pointed out the gradual methods by which the mysterious visions and sublime theories of the Heathen Philosophers were engrafted on the simple truths of the gospel , thus shewing the source from whence have sprung the popular corruptions of Christianity .

comparison was drawn in the conclusion of the discourse between the Christianity of the New Testament and the opinions which pass under that title in the present day . The candid ,
argumentative and dignified style of the preacher made a strong impression on the hear ,, ers . The congregation present at the religious service in the morning was nu * merous . In the evening the chapel was crowded . In the afternoon the members
of the congregation and the different ministers of other churches who were with them , met together at a friendly tea party at the Assembly Room in the town . This meeting was exceedingly gratifying .
A considerable enlargement has been effected in the Chapel at Newport : by lengthening the building , a great addition has been made to the sittings in the body and gallery — a new stair-case ,
school-rooms for boys and girls and library have been added ; the whole on the plan and under the superintendence of Mr . William Mortimer , of Newport , a member of the congregation . The alterations have been rendered absolutely
necessary by a great increase having lately taken place in the number of the attendants at the chapel . The new sittings are now all nearly or quite occupied , A . C
