r&fee tte credit of their religion , or order , or house , funs through all their figffllttfcrifrts . " Bofets we quit this subject we would warmly recommend our readers to patronize the Christian Child's Faithful Friend . We do so because we know its rrierils ; because we know from experience its suitability to the class of
readers for whom it is intended . The editor informs his readers that he interids ta enlarge the work when sufficient numbers are sold to enable mote to fee given at the same charge . And we join with him in thinking that this tnight b&fc H&otnplished if the opulent were to purchase copies for gratuitous distribution . But the charge of the work ( one penny ) is so srnall that much Oputetifeie is riot needed to enable the benevolent to extend the usefulness of tfete Faitirful friend . There are few Unitarians who could not afford to take
the work for thetnselves , and most persons amongst us could purchase regularly 6 H extra copy or two for their poor neighbours ; and we doubt not that the present or the loan would prove no less acceptable than useful . We are glad to find that Gburchmeli * as well as other people , at length take correct views of the probable consequences of the settlement of the Catholic question , as well as of the claims which the Catholics possessed to
effiaitdpatfon . A letter in the Observer from the Rev . D . Wilson , of Islington , contains the following passage : " Fellow * christians , there is no gP&Hfld &f al&rm ; the pendirig measures are so far from constituting a sin Against God , that they are a paramount dictate both of piety and wisdom ; they will eminently contribute to the honour of the Protestant faith , to the Stability of our Protestant institutions ., to the safety of our Protestant Epistidpal Church * to the pacification of our irritated fellow-countrymen , and
tfee prevalence of pure Christianity throughout the empire . " The editor also thus speaks : " We are asked , * Will this measure , after all , quiet Ireland ?* We reply , that we think it will powerfully conduce to that end ; but whether 60 or not is not the only question * We believe it to be a measure morally atrd religiously right ; and thinking this * it is but a secondary inquiry to ask , whether it is politically expedient ; though politically expedient it doubtless is . " In the seme article this Protestant editor fchews us the value of his
adVoedcy * whose speecra against the Catholics was set in letters of gold . *' ¦ The late Duke of York was a mere political Protestant ; he acquired popularity by voting against the removal of Catholic disabilities ; but his Protestantism did not ptevent his being a gambler and livittg in other immoralities . " A sermon is now before u 3 preached by a Pdrtugu ^ se priest at thfe Cat holic chttpel , Storehouse , before the chief persons of the refugees , who , for a tirtiev , "were permitted by t > ur government to find an asylum oh English
ground . The sermon was delivered on the birth-day of Don Pedfo , the JBwvpcror of Brazil , in dianksgiving to the Almighty for the arrival in England of the young Queen of Portugal . Were we * as Englishmen , to give an opinion of the cbmj > oshioii ^ we skould not hesitate to term it an ^ riti re piece of inflation . But what appears e&travagant to the inhabitant of < ftm country may appear moderate in Ihd eyes of an inhabitant bf aeother ; and it js possible , tfa 4 refcre , that the hearers of the sermon may havg listened to it ^ rith ^ easHre ^ ^ ind have approved it When read . It is certain that the ells his that it is
^ rea&hgr t audidnce " nature that speaks out , and nature that Ustens . " This being the dase , dame Mature ttssumes sdnietimes a strange and fentastic asjiec-t . Even the most « fthodo ! x of our land would nowa-days carefully avoid lahguagfe Itfee the folldtving : " Explain td them the liacriilide of the Man-God , expiating our crimes to the Ancietit of Days ,
