    DOMESTIC . RELIGIOUS . Opening of the Unitarian Chapel , at Ffclburn .

    On Sunday , the 20 th of March , was opeued the Unitarian Chape ] , erected at the village of WVLburu , near York , through the exertions of the students of Manchester College and the kind assistance of their friends . The day being exceedingly auspicious , many friends from York and Maltoti were present , and strangers from the neighbouring villages atteuded in considerable numbers . Iu the morning , the devotional part of the service was conducted by the Rev . W . Turner , Tutor of

    the College . Before the sermon , Mr . John Mason , of York , the early promoter of the cause of Uuitarianism in the village , addressed a few words to his friends and the congregation , congratulating them

    on the present promising aspect of Unitarian Christianity in the village , which but seven years ago had been almost unknown amongst them , urging the necessity of continued zeal and fortitude in the

    propagation of its glorious truths , and entreating them gratefully to second the efforts of the sindents who had thus far successfully exerted themselves in their behalf . The Rev . Dr . Hut ton , of Leeds , then delivered an impressive and deeply interesting discourse from 1 Cor . xiv . 15 .

    Having contended for the real possession of supernatural power in , the early Christian church from the improbability that the apostle would ever have blamed the disciples for the abuse of a power which he knew never existed , he enlarged on the manner and the spirit in which social worship should iu the present day be conducted and attended , iu order to en-

    sure mutual edification , the great object which the apostle urged them ever to have in view . The close attention which was paid to the discourse manifested the deep interest which the bearers felt , and it could not fail to excite something of the devotional spirit aud truly Christian feeling which itself so pre-eminently contained .

    The Chapel was full , and on this occasion uot a little adorned by the children of the Sunday-School , which will now be permanently attached to it . In the afternoon , Mr . J . R , Wreford , a student of the College , conducted the devotional part of the service , and the Rev . Noah Jones , of Todmorden , delivered an argumentative and excellent discourse on the

    direction which our Lord gave to his disciples when they prayed , to say , " Our Father who art in heaven , forgive us our sins / ' shewing the inconsistency of the orthodox views of the Divine Being with the compassion and forgiveness of the paternal character , and enlarging clearly and simply , but earnestly and

    impressively , on the superiority of Unitarian Christianity , for inspiring an ardent aud cheeringdevotion to the " One God and Father of all . " The Chapel was itxeH crowded , but there were so many round the door who could not gain admission , that Mr . J . R . Beard , of the College , left the Chapel , and preached to as large a congregation in a neighbouring field , on the

    common objections against Unitaiianisnn and its real spirit . The interest displayed iu the whole , manifested that a deep impression way made on the minds of the hearers , and the voices of either congregation were heard by the other as they lifted up the anthem of praise . In the evening , the Chapel was again crowded to excess , Mr . K . Tag art , another student , began with reading the Scripture s
