- I sent you my thanks by Mr . Orton , for the respect you shewed son Joseph at Liverpool , and I now dp it again ; and for your recommending him in order to obtain some farther
reparation of his losses ^ ; but I can easily guess his father ' s heresy will be an effectual bar in his way . Though I hope that spirit which hereiicates uptight men is abating , and am glad to find and hear that so inanv of your pupils appear in the world with a
candour and openness becoming the Christian and ministerial character . I am but lately' informed ^ that Mr . George Bralliwaite of Stotparkj near Wiriander Meer , in the northmost part of Lancashire , has a son under your care . His father is any wife ' s first
cousin ; a man of primitive Christian simplicity , and for whom I had always a great esteem , and should be pleased to see my young cousin ,, and to find his progress in knowledge and virtue answering the hopes and wishes of all his friends , I am , Sir , yours , &c . . S . Bourne .

OPINIONS OF THE UNITARIAN BAPTISTS IN YORKSHIRE ON CHURCH FELLOWSHIP . To the Editor of the Monthly Repository . SlR .
The Unitarians , in comparison of other professing Christians , are a very small body . It is therefore exceedingly desirable that those good effects which might arise From union and co-operation in the promotion of social religion , and the extension of scriptural truth s should not be impeded by any lesser differences in those who agree ia the same general
sentiments ; since hereby the aggregate force , which is at the best only diminutive ^ would be still more weakened ^ and plans of utility fail for want of adequate support . The worthy intentions of the Society who have instituted a Fund for the spread of Unitarianism by popular preaching , deserve to be seconded by the conjunction and mutual assistance of all those who bear the Unitarian name .
The preceding remarks are occasioned by the ideas which prevail relating to Christian fellowship , in several societies of Unitarians of the Baptist denomination in the EJast Riding of Yorkshire . It is to me a singular phenomenon that persons who possess the most liberal notions with regard to the Christ an doctrine , should manifest a narrowness relating to Christian intercourse and fellowship which is not exceeded by the most rigid sects under the profession of the highest orthodoxy .
