York . May both societies increase In numbers and improve in godliness , and thus furnish another demonstration that to the poor now , as in primitive times , Unitarianism " is the power of God unto salvation" ! Many friends attended the services from Manchester , who were ereatl y delighted with the proceedings of
the day , and while they gladly hore their testimony to the zeal and piety of this congregation , could cot but feel an anxious desire that both might remain in their present vigour , and cause their beneficial influences to be extensively felt
among the inhabitants of Middle ton . A controversy between the Unitarians and the Calvinists has for some time been going on in this town . Mr . Wake , a Trinitarian minister , preached against the Unitarians and aspersed their characters . This occasioned a letter to be
written by John Buckley , a weaver , inviting Mr . Wake to a conference . Mr . Wake disdainfully refused . A correspondence ensued between Mr . Wake , John Buckley , and another weaver , Peter Cocker . Subsequently the correspondence was published . On this a pamphlet was issued , as it is believed , by the successor of Mr . Wake . This has
met with a reply from the pen of Mr . Beard , in a pamphlet entitled , " A Vindication of the Conduct of the Middleton Unitarians and the Supreme Deity of the Father asserted . " * The Committee of the Lancashire and Cheshire Unitarian Missionary Society , under whose
patronage these exertions for the promotion of vital and primitive Christianity are made , respectfully solicit the aid of the friends to free inquiry , the education of the rbing generation and the evangelizing of the poor . Assistance by advice ,
co-operation , pecuniary contributions , or donation of books and tracts will be acknowledged by T . B . W . Sanderson , Esq ., Treasurer , Manchester ; Edward Shawcross , Esq ., Deputy Treasurer ; the Rev . J . G . Robberds , Chairman of the Committee ; the Rev . J . R . Beard , Secretary B .
