    not of « lear authorrfative declaration by the Founder and first preachers of the Christian , faith ; while , op the other hand , we have in the Sacred Volume literal &pd uneqitivQcal allegatiqjjs of the sole , exclusive daily * of him who is recognized there as " God , even the Father . " Among " the middle class " there are many who will not fail to see that the word atonement is found in only a single passage of the New Testament , f and obviously means , and should have beep translated , reconciliation ~ -the reconciliation of men to God , not of God to men .

    But Dr , ^ Ryder grants that Unitarianism may be found " even" among others of higher rank , " who , " in his opinion , " convinced that they must adopt some form of Christianity , satisfy themselves readily with that which least requires thq submission of the intellect , the sacrifice of worldly indulgencies , and the exchange of the carnal for the spiritual mind . " These are tys J ^ ordship's sentiments and assertions in respect of UnitarU anisra , and one * class of its , professors . When he shall have exchanged bare

    We heartily recommend this production to the purchase ^ nd patronage of our readers on account of the quantity of fact which it contains , the subject to which it relates , and the method of teaching ( either one ' s-self or others ) to which \ t belongs .
