we abandon , we shall retard the progress of truth more than can be done by all the arguments of our
opponents . Memoir of Mr . Goodier . This life has been abridged in the Christian Examiner , and afterwards reprinted and circulated among us in that form as a tract .
Obituary . The interchange of obituary services between the towns of Poole and Ringwood , as recorded in the August and November numbers of the Repository , is an affecting testimony to the benign and consoling influence of Christian institutions .
Intelligence . The account of the meeting of the Protestant Society , however it may exhibit the zeal of the worthy members , redounds not much to the credit of their deliberative eloquence . But very faint
touches would be requisite to make the whole article appear a caricature or parody , got up for the John Bull newspaper . Certainly , Mr . Wilks , on such an occasion , ought to have taken higher ground than that of a declamatory , clap-trapping advocate . ^

Mr . Gilchrisfs Parallel between Him ^ self and Dr . Jones . [ As Mr . Gilchrist refers in the following letter to a communication of his which was returned to him as inadmissible , we deem it right to state
that the rejection was founded on certain persoualities in the paper , which we esteem him sufficiently to believe he would have been grieved after a time to see in print . Litera scripta ma net . To convince the reader that we
have shewn no want of impartiality in the controversy on baptism , we beg to state , that looking forward to this as our last month , and foreknowing the necessity of papers being communicated early in order to their insertion , we gave liberty to the printer ( contrary to the custom in such cases ) to
put the sheets of the last number relating to baptism , before their publication in the number , int « the hands of any persons likely to make replies , he being the avowed Secretary of the General Baptist Committee . This we need not have done , more vve could not have done . Farther we have no inclination to speak of Mr . Gikhriat ' s

letter . He has given us no offence " nor ** uneasiness , " beyond the concern that we always feel when we see a
writer of unquestionable talents precluding his usefulness and defeatin g his own end by his mode of writing and when , above all , we find a mere theological controversy perverted into a personal dispute . Editor . ] Nei&mgton Green , Sm , Nov . 2 , 1826 .
FIND that you are about to retire I from the Editorship of the Monthly Repository ; and though you have refused me a hearing in reply to the Review of the Worship-Street Lectures , the usual vote of thanks for the
able and impartial manner in which you have filled the office will be permitted , on my part , to pass nem . con . It is with some reluctance and timidity , indeed , that I make another application during the present dynasty ; but I wish to have a few more last
words with my fnend Dr . Jones : not about baptism ; for I am willing to let him have his own way in this matter without further contradiction , and to let the Anti-baptists enjoy all the benefit of his discoveries . Some parts , indeed , of the Doctor ' s last
communication are calculated to shock my feelings and offend my stomach ; but he honestly , and without disguise , expresses his contemptuous opinions to our face , and in print too ; he does not employ one sort of language with
his tongue and another with his pen : and , in our humble opinion , fair and consistent dealing is the truest candour : such candour , in our judgment , like charity , covereth a multitude of faults .
J am equally willing that your two other correspondents , T . A . T . ( 602—604 ) and A Berean , ( 608—610 , ) should have iheir way also ( and truly the ways of Anti-baptism are divers ) respecting baptism , and that the
Anti-baptists should have all the benefit of their statements and arguments . Was it thought that too much could not be thrown into the present number of the Repository as make-weig ht or make-bulk on one side ot the
baptismal controversy ? Was the cry of distress , Come over and help us * sent out into the ears of those distinguished Unitarians , the Freethinkintf Christians ? But a truce to odious
