      Calcutta " , such as a pious man , rnay , withoikt exposing himself to the charge of enthusiasm , regard as the call of Providence upon those who profess Unitarianism to let their truly glad tidings he heard Ui that interesting country ? If we neg-Ifect the opportunity iiow presented to us ,

      can we reasonably hope that one so fair and promising will at any other time arise ? If we seise not this occasion of diffusing tbe uncorrupted Gospel of our Lord * shall we not justify the suspicions of those who call in question our zeal in the cause of truth ? Shall we not merit the reproaches of which we now complain ? Shall we not incur the more

      fearful coudemnation of Him who maketh us stewards of his manifold mercies , that we may dispense them to such of our brethren as are in need ? By the answer which we cannot fail to return to these questions , we shall be admonished respecting our duty . In the discharge of that duty , let not any uncertainty as to the result , cause us to waver or grow

      remiss . It is our part to use the means with which God furnishes us ; it is not our part to command or to hasten success . God reserves that to himself . The Gospel of Jesus came from God ; it is his cause ; and with him we may confidently leave its interests . As lie designed it to be a universal blessing , he cannot be regardless of its eventually

      general diffusion : as all wisdom , as Well as all power , is his , he knows ¦ ¦ best by what means , ' and at what time , that diffusion shall be accomplished : as he is perfectly pure and holy , he cannot view with indifference any sincere and wellmeant efforts to extend the most effectual means of holiness and virtue to all

      his rational and accountable creaturesand as he is impartially just and immutably good , he will not surfer any labour of love and mercy to go witjiout its adequate reward . Let us , then , be willing and zealous ¦ ' labourers together with God , * and in that day , * when every man ' s work shall be made manifest / our labour will be found not to have been

      vainand our recompense will be unspeakably glorious . —Pp . 49—52 . In a note , p . 49 , the preacher docs justice to the exertions of the native

      Unitarian preacher at Madras , William Roberts : and in an Appendix , lie justifies by unquestionable authorities his representation of the comparative inefficaey of the ** orthodox "

      missionary gospel . It deserves to be remarked that the Sermon is printed at the charge of one of its hearers , and that the profits will be applied to the purposes in aid of which it was delivered .

      PTP \ HE hopeful anticipations we ex-JL pressed ( p . 230 ) when giving some account of the Correspondence on the Prospects of Christianity in India , ( a source of detailed information for which the English Unitarians are indebted to their American brethren , ) have been realized more rapidly than we dared to bone . Our readers

      have already been informed , ( p . 314 , ) that the forcible representations of the Secretary of the Unitarian Fund , in his circular of tfie 29 th of April last , have produced an immediate

      attention to tins great object , which precludes all doubt respecting "Mr . Adam's being enabled to remain at his important station . " It will be truly delightful if we learn that our American brethren go along with us , in what Mr . Fox represents ( p . 315 ) * ' as the most decisive and splendid

      demonstration of zeal which has yet occurred in the history of Unita * nanism We hope " that our notices of American publications will bring the subject again before us ; but at present we propose to give a connected view

      of those productions of the American Unitarians which have been reprinted in our own country . The first of the series published in England was A Sermon delivered at the Ordination of

      the Rev . Jarcd Sparks to the Pastoral Care of the First Independent Church in Baltimore , May 5 , 1819 . By WiU Hani EHery Channiug , Minister of the Church of Christ , in Federal Street ,
