      DOMESTIC . RELIGIOUS . Ordination of the Rev . E . Tagart , at Norwich . On Wednesday , August 10 th , there was a public religious service at the Octagon Chapel , Norwich , in consequence of the recent election of Mr .

      Edward Tagart , late of the York College , as minister of that congregation . The last service of the kind in that chapel , was more than forty years since , when Mr . George C . Morgan entered upon the ministry there ; and at that time Dr . Price

      and Dr . Rces were present , and took the principal parts of the service . The propnety of reviving such a service was discussed by the congregation , and it was fnought , that when freed from the absurd ideas which have been connected with What is o ^ U *» rl n » .. i ;~~* .: ^~ : * ., 1 , 1 ^^* wnat is called Ordination it could not

      This testimony , duly weighed , is offered as a record of his memory by his affectionate and afflicted family . He died a steadfast Unitarian Christian .

      of it . Most of the Unitarian ministers in Norfolk and Suffolk were present , and the service was opened by Mr . Scargill , of Bury St . Edmund ' s , who prayed arid read the Scriptures . Mr . Edward Taylor , one of the deacons of the congrega * tion , explained the design and intention of their assembling together : that it was

      not for the purpose of conferring upon their minister any other or farther power than he had already received . He had been appointed or ordained by the choice of the people , who , in conjunction with their minister , had invited his brethren to give them each such friendly exhortation and advice as they might think fit , and not

      to confer upon him any title , power or authority . It had never been the practice of that congregation to impose any creed upon their minister , nor to require of him any confession of faith . Dr . John Taylor had mentioned this to the credit of the society , and he had expressed his

      hope that the same catholic spirit which had animated the founders of that chapel , would continue to subsist among them . Happily it had done so , and instead of prescribing for their minister u set of articles of faith , they now exhorted him to search the Scriptures for himself , and fearlessly and honestly to lay before them his views of religious truth .
