Mos ^^ Ae writers io the Repository who have of late years adverted to the passage , seem to have do
hesitation in believing that the apostle speaks of what was impersonal ; and this perhaps is the prevalent opiniou among us . Yet no one whose interpretation I have seen on that system , does more than give a loose explanation of each part of the introduction referring to the Logos . All are satisfied that the
passage could not be designed to teach the personal deity of Jesus , or that he was the agent in the natural creation , since then the apostle must contradict his Lord , and even Jehovah himself ; see John xvii . 3 ; Is . xlvi . 9 , xllv . 24 ; and it is probably this conviction , and early associations connected with the usual
personal interpretation which opposes it , that lead to the rejection of a personal interpretation consistent-with it . I hope to study more attentively than I have yet done our American brother , Mr . Uphain ' s interpretation of the passage ; but 1 do not think that ® £ o ; yv 6 Aayo 4 Can be 'rendered God was the Word , which , for his explanation , is essential .

Con . in p . 632 , ) was iutended as a guide iu recommending them ttf boarding houses , but that- it was very speedily done ; away . .
As to the former part of a Non . Con ' s communication , what have the readers of the Repository to do with the conduct of Mr . Hankey , or Mr . Anyone else , who may think it comports with his dissenting principles to support the King ' s College ? Smce your correspondent is " a Non : Cju . " to the Church of
England , he should allow others to be " Nou . Cons . " to his ( and , let me add , my ) views of consistent dissent , without dragging them before a tribunal which has no jurisdiction in the affair . And his attempt to procure the removal of Mr . H . from the Committee of the Deputies may rank with that of Mr . Ivimey to displace Mr . Wm . Smith from the chair of the same body .
Whether the deputy Mr . Wm . Alera Hankey is after alt the individual alluded to ( for your correspondent speaks of Mt . Thos . Alers Hankey ) is of little moment ; but so sensitive a Non . Con . as your correspondent ought to have known better than to measure out a rule of consistency for others , and make conformity to it a test of eligibility to office , or non-conformity an object of public censure .
