gent friends of freedom , and there are thousands of such amongst the orthodox dissenters , ought to feel , and we hope generally do feel , that but for the Unitarians , an indelible disgrace might have been brought on the name of dissent . They must be aware , too , that the practical working of their system is not so much in favour of civil and religious liberty as they and we desire it should be- He who speaks in the name of the party should use the language of humiliation , not of boasting ; and abstain from calumniating others instead of appropriating their deeds and merits .

The Athanasian Apostasy Rejected . By a Bible Christian . —Hunter . The Athanasian Apostasy Rejected is a compendium of anti-trinitarian arguments and expositions , chiefly selected from Mr . Yates ' s Vindication , with a reprint of Dr . Channing ' s * Objections to Unitarian Christianity considered / and an introduction by the compiler , who is we understand , Mr .

The following remarks were published before the introduction of Mr . Stanley ' s proposition on Irish Tithes : — ' The existing Church has now a weak side , which it had not forty years ago . Within that period a co-partnership has been formed with the Irish Church , in which it is said the abuses are still more flagrant than here . Some reforms must be made in Ireland ; and theyjwill be much stronger precedents for reform in England than if the two Churches had remained distinct . I never could understand the
advantage accruing to the English Church from that union : yet the measure , when proposed in the English parliament , passed without an observation of any kind . Not a word uttered either to approve or disapprove . The laity seemed to think that the measure did not concern them in any way ; while , no doubt , the bishops felt pleased at the approaching extension of their corporation to the sister island . * For this worldly conduct , however , the English Church bids fair to be severely punished ; and deservedly , as she has been instrumental in perpetuating the clerical abuses in Ireland .
