    Cbui < ch > , to Whom he maf gke me right hand of fellowship * vith as much propriety as to Ram Mohun Roy . Were not _< 3 httfcfe , Woolston , Tindal , Toland and Paine , pure Theists ? Are not Mahomedahs pure Theists ? Are not Jews pure Theists ? But will Mr . Aspland contend that it is illiberal to withhold from the above-mentioned

    worthies , and from Mahomedaos ahd Jewd > the name of Christian ? Mahoraedans believe the unity of God > and afeo that Christ was a Divine Messenger ; but they reject him as a Saviour . The Jews believe that God is

    One , but feject Christ as the promised Messiah . Ham Mohun Roy believes that God is One , but has not professed his fa , ith in the divine mission of Christ : his Theism , therefore , does not , any more than theirs , entitle him to the character of Christian .

    « Nor is the single circumstance of Ram Mahun Royte professing to believe in . the . unity of God , sufficient te prove that he has been * reclaimed to pure Theism . * Mr . Aspland might not probably know that Unitarianism is a doctrine of the Hindoo faith . In

    the Rev . Mr . Ward ' s work on the Religion of the Hindoos , he says , * It is true , indeed , that the Hindoos believe Sh tihe unity of God . * One Brumhee , without a second / is a phrase very commonly used by them , when con ^ versing- on subjects which relate to the nature of God . **

    " Mr . Aspland chaises me with being * ignorant of the real state of things in Calcutta / I know , however , enpugh to iajform him , if he is unacquainted tvith the fact , that Ram Mohim Roy does not defile 'himself b y eating- with Europeans ., which would

    be to lose his caste , though in some instances he has entertained them at his house in the moat splendid style of Eastern magnificence . Mr . Aspland , too , with all his knowledge of the reai state of things at Calcutta , will

    • " There has been a coqtroversy in India between the Rev . Dr . Marsh in an , oae of the Serampore Missionaries , and Ham Mohun Roy , ou the subject of the Trinity . That part of it written by Dr . Marshman is reprintiug in London , and will very soou be published ; to that work , I therefore take the liberty of referring Mr . Asplaad .

    find it very difficult , if not imgpasibte to produce any proof that this Hindoo Reformer has declared himself to be a Christian , o * that ; he is willing to be considered Uy bis countrymen , or by Europeans * under that character .

    ' Mr . Aspland , will , perhaps , in form the public , should be write again upon this subject , whether , in the event of this celebrated Indian Reformer paying a visit to England , and applying for admission as a-member of the religious communky at Hack *

    ney , of which he is the Christian Pastor , he would be received into fall communion , merely on account of his agreeing . with tketn ia the doctrine of the Unity of God , notwithstanding h % has not in his creed one sentiment pe culiar to Christianity ? € f

    I am not aware of having intimated that Mr . Adam was * amenable for his faith and practice to ae ^ ' to his own master he standefch or falleth / But surely I may be ptav initted to * lament hid errors and
