Our Annual Social Meeting , on Good Friday , was this year held in the Assent bly Room , over the National School , which was crowded with members and their friends , admitted by tickets issued by the appointed stewards .
The Rev . Russell Scott in acknowled ging a vote of thanks to him as minister of the Unitarian congregation , expressed his satisfaction at seeing a continuall y increasing attendance on tbese occasions . Formerly our religious views wexe held in such abhorrence that our orthodox
neighf pours almost feared to associate with us f ia the usual pursuits of life ; to-day we had the pleasure of seeing Christians of other persuasions come la witness and partake of our social enjoyments . He had been requested to publish a discourse he had recently delivered on several
successive Sunday evenings , and part of it previously at the re-opening of the Chapel at Newport , being a summary narrative of the rise and progress of the Trinitarian corruption of the gospel doctrine of Christ ' s humanity . He had complied , in hope that the attention of serious
Trinitarians might thereby be called to the important fact , that the doctriue which they heard continually proclaimed to be now , as it was in the beginning , " was in reality of comparatively modern date , that it was the work of successive ages , and the several stages of its origin
growth and maturity can be distinctly traced . He was happy to find himself on this occasion supported by the presence of his respected friend the Rev . Joseph Brent , minister of the General Baptist
Society , from whom , notwithstanding some shades of difference in sentiment , lie had always found the most cordial willingness to co-operate in the good work to which the labours of both of them were directed . Nor did he reel
less gratified by the presence of his truly valuable-young friend , the Rev . Edmund Kell , who had entered on his engagement at Newport , with correct and - beepraing views of the ministerial character and office , had acted up to those views , and , under the Divine blessingr , had the prospect of reaping a satisfactory harvest .
The Rev . Joseph Brent , in acknowledging a vote of thanks fw his kindness iu supplying Mr . Scott ' s pulpit during his recent illness , as well as on former occasions , spok ® with great animation on the importance of Christian union .
