hope that when these errors are corrected there will be a very great and a very visible change for the better . ' " To correct these errors the preacher proceeds to draw the attention of his brethren in the ministry to one or two circumstances in their professioual character and fractions in which improvement is possible and requisite . The first . mentioned is . " an increased
devotedness to the study of the Scriptures , and a more earnest employment in outpublic teachings of the peculiar" motives and sanctions which are furnished by the great troths of revelation . " Revelation has a superior , cot a co ordiuate , authority with reason ; and arguments aud illustrations should be fetched not from the field of ethics so ranch as from the New 3 * £ statnent ; thoroughly understood and rightly interpreted , separating the kernel of divine truth from the his
torical husk in which it is inclosed , and infusing a new life ' of efidrgy into the moral nature of man by ; the heavenly and soul-subduing i » flnences of pure Christianity . We give the following passage « ttdi ? et < ' f : ^ " Tbe great business of the Christian teacher is to bring his owu mind and others' minds under those heavenly and spirifckr ^^ ittfi ^ eheel ^ Mcn a lively faith and

heart-stimng truths o » f the gospol have not had their due prominence . True it is that the situation of many ministers is unfavourable to the cultivation of deep devotional feelings , involved , as they too generally are , in the perplexities and distractions of worldly pursuits . ' < It was not in such scenes that the piety of our elder moralists and diviues was
nursed by solemn musings on God , aud prSvidence , and eternity ; when they realized to-their minds the grandeur of the world * unseen ; when they drew in the soul of religious inspiration , aud gave it utterance again in the rich and thrilling eloquence which * , still breathes from their immortal pages /* The discourse concludes with an
earnest exhortation to an increased unity of spirit and operation , which will , we hope , have its prpper influence on the minds of the audience , and now , by the publication of the discourse ^ ( solicited by the ministers present , ) on the minds
of the Unitarian body , at- large . For some time past , Mr . Tayler , in conjunction with some brother ministers , has been engaged in giving increased usefulness * to . the Provincial Meeting , of the Presbyterian Ministers of Lancashire ' and
Cheshire . We wish them eve > y success ; we think they deservie , \ i \ Alterea ; circum splices require' altered plans , and without intending to derogate in the least from the useful results of the Provincial Mfcetipg ' , it |^ we thiiik , obvious thiat a modification of its cousj ; itution would increase its itfttueric ^ , ^ v h&ve given , in this instance , a mor # ^ detailed review tjiau wci usually gWe of £ singlei sermons ' ,
