Bolton District Association . The Tenth Half-yearly meeting of the Boltou District Unitarian Association took place at Wahnsley , on the 28 th of April , 1831 . The Rev . James Whitehead , of Cockey-Moor , conducted the devotional services , and the Rev . B . R . Davis , of
Chowbent , preached a practical and excellent discourse from the words of Jesus , in Matt . xx . 27 . A numerous party afterwards dined together , aud spent the afternoon in social intercourse . One of the chief
topics of discussion related to the best manner of making our Sunday-schools subservient to the dissemination of Unitarian opinions . A very general impression prevailed amongst the speakers that Unitarianism should be more distinctly taught to those classes of our Sundayschools which read the Scriptures- There can be little doubt that familiar
explanations of controversial passages , and constant instruction in the leading doctrines of Unitarian Christianity would create impressions on the minds of reflecting children , which no contrary influences at home or abroad would altogether efface . It appeared from the report of the different societies , that about 300 Tracts
had been put into circulation , and about 1500 had been gratuitously distributed during the past half year . The next meeting of the Association will be held at Bank-Street Chapel , Bolton , on Thursday , the 22 nd of September , the Rev . James Whitehead being the preacher , and the Rev . William Tate the supporter , on that occasion .

The College Missionary Society , about to conclude its labours for the present session , takes the present opportunity to congratulate the friends of truth on the most cheering success the cause of Unl * tarian Christianity meets with in this village . A very numerous , regular , and
constantly-increasing attendance is paid to the religious services conducted here every Lord ' s-day by supplies from York , not only by the inhabitants of Welburn , but of its surrounding villages in this populous neighbourhood , and the most pleasing proofs are exhibited of the great aud beneficial results which have beeil
produced .

Dickson gave in a petition or overture for a committee , to be composed exclusively of clergymen , for considering a publication entitled " The Orthodox ' aud Catholic Doctrine of the Humanity of Christ , " by the Rev . Edward Irvine .
After a good deal of discussion , as to how far the jurisdiction of the Assembly extended in reviewing works of this description , published by ministers connected with the Presbyterian Church , but not resident in Scotland , Dr . Lee referred to what had been done in a '
similar case in 1717 , to shew that the Assembly was entitled to take up misrepresentations as to doctrine or worship , whether made by persons at home or abroad . He thought the appointment of
