    truly benevolent ah institution , any one should have disgraced himself by the utterance of such calumny as is contained in the continuation of the above-mentioned gentleman ' s speech . 4 missionary cause was dear to the Christians of America ; there the missionary cause was identified with Christianity . He recollected

    to have read somewhere of a chieftain who attempted to rally his dispirited troops , by contradicting the comparative census of their numbers *— - ^ I-eondemn-your-arithmeti ^ " how many do you count me ? " Neology counted Christ but a small ally : not so with the friends of missions ; they felt that it was his own cause , and that he was all and in all . '

' They * count Christ a feeble ally ! ' Th § y maintain , on the contrary , that he is the power of God unto salvation . '

    Did the American divine cross the Atlantic but to insult English ears with slanders a thousand times refuted ? We hope for his own sake that he has some other and better mission . We rejoice with him that the heathen are approached in various way _ s ; byjhe _ Gt ) spel . We shpuk ) have rejoiced if more of its spirit had animated his advocacy of a noble cause .

    A Sketch from Memory * 'It has often been brought as an objection against Unitarians , ' said my friend Mr . H ~— -, early one luxurious morning in July , ' that they do not mingle religion with their pleasures ; that when they meet together their amusements are only mere amusements . Now I should like this impression to be removed ; and I do not see * vhy we should not make a beginning to-day . Besides the friends
