      Bolton District Association . The Fifth half-yearly Meeting of the Bolton District Association was held at Cockey Moor , on Thursday , Sept . 30 . The Rev . W . A Hard , of Bury , undertook the introductory services , to the great satisfaction of his brethren , who felt happy to observe him so much restored after his long and severe indisposition .

      The Rev . J . Ragland preached from the words of Matthew ( xii . 9 ) : " Andwhen he was departed thence he went into their synagogue . " From the incident thus recorded the preacher inferred that Christ had been trained to a habit of attendance on public worship , and hence took occasion to urge on the guardians of children the duty of accustoming them ,

      at an early age , to the same religious practice * His observations on the advantages which attend it , both in a moral and sociat point of view , were characterized by much good sense and feeling . Having dismissed this part of his subject , the preacher addressed himself to the conduct of our Lord on * this and similar occasions , in developing which he took occasion to point out that union

      of prudence with wisdom , fineness , and zeal , wihich characterized all < the efforts matte by Christ- tb regenerate ^ the moral conditidn of the human' race . From this view of ibis conduct , were adduced sonae appropriate reflections on the spirit which should actuate and govern' Christians in the present day , in cati ^ lriM forward the work , 4 hus attsjficioustycoih meticed , of removing rirejudiceand error ;

      society , that gentleman presented each of the persons present with a copy of a tract which he had published for distribution on the occasion , entitled " A Plain Man ' s Short and Scriptural Statement of the Religious Opinions of Unitarians , " which forms a valuable accompaniment to the tract by the same person , " A Plain Man ' s Answer to the Question , Why do
