« The aspect of the * times admonishes those who dedicate themselves to the Unitarian Ministry , to s ^ o re their tniti ds with the fruit of laborious study . We live in a state of perpetual warfare . We are ever and anon provoked to enter into the lists of controversy ,: and it is
incuiubent upon us to have our armour well buckled on aud our swords sharpened for the combat . We are attacked on every hand . Our adversaries are multifarious , from the puny whipster Who is ambitious

Spirit 1 who oft , at night ' s unclouded noou ^ Dost love to watch the melancholy Moon Shroud in the wanness of her spectral lay Rome—Athens cold in beautiful decay : Or where Palmyra ' s mouldering * shrines o ' erspread The Syrian waste—Sad city of the dead !

demand days of patient study , and the stealing of hour after hoar from night to be devated to deep and laborious investigation . Think you , my . young friends , that your worthy and revered Principal could have so well maintained the good fight which he lately fougbt in our common cause * had he dreamed away his
early years in the specious Indolence of desultory reading" , or had he contented himself with skimming lightly over the surface of theological science ? ,-The friend of my youth , the associate of * my academical studies , will forgive me if even in his
presence I poiofc him out to you as a pattern , in the fervent hope that when his days are numbered and his earthly labours are closed , upon some one of his pupils may descend his mantle , invested with which ) the new champion may stand forth , the virtuous , enlightened , and bold
asserter of the truth as it . is in Jesus . "Pp . 22—24 .
