    Perhaps it aaaay fee deserving of inquiry , whether Christians , who professedly receive and interpret certain images < and names derived from the Old Testament as expressive of ~ ei # angelical truths * < etiOL with propriety adopt such lanffuaffe in their social devotions

    and instructions ? Hie adoption undoubtedly supposes that all who are present , on such occasions , have endeavoured to understand and are really in possession of the meaning of these phrases . But this is scarcely the fact as to the majority of the members of religious assemblies . The danger

    appears to be on the side of extravagance , of employing terms which have not been clearly explained , and the sense of which is not sufficiently perceived . In a well-informed audience , however ,

    it may not seldom be advisable to introduce what I will take the liberty of calling , with relation to the present subject ; the figures and the diction of $ he Sa&red Classics : " they are endeared * by principle as well as habit , to men of piety and taste , and add

    considerably to the interest which such persons feel in Devotional Poetry . WIm&i , for example , we read the following lines , from the pen of a writer of powerful genius , yet correct

    he remarks , !* m&f * e snitoply divided into the following five classes : <—<< r 1 , Enlightened persons , who lay aside the Mosaic Law and the traditions of the elders , profess pure Theism ,

    and endeavour to Introduce among their nation the principles of aaete morality . They properly aim at natural religion ; most of them are disciples of the late Jewish philosopher Mendelsohn ; though many Qf them still observe the revealed law of God .

    This class , which has spread mueh , and consists of the best-informed part of the Jews , wish to make common cause with the Christians , while they do not desire to believe in the name and salvation of the Son of God , and are enemies of the cross of Christ .

    Among them little hopes can be entertained of gaining entrance with the glorious gospel- of Jesus Christ ; aad though they manifest moraj sentiments , th ^ y would probsbjy become ojgdy nominal Christians . The adherents of this party have , recently bmlt syn ^ r gogues at Berlin and Hamburg , and
