The facts in my lira, letter are lwfore the public, and
they have not lwen enter...betel by " Preacher,"
lint have rather been confirmed by ".1.W.1t." There
were two Inane in my friend',i first letter which were

"novelty and Methiniisiu." Ile challenged nw in hiss

did in my third, but he make, no mention of this in
lant effusion ; but, hying stung and mortified
becalm. I had nilenced hint on the clialklige, he trien

detest it. Your 0111,110.114ent MOMTVI to ciongratulate
hineall .in hi,, aucv..ies iti what he attempted ; but for
my part I coteider that In has succeeded only in one
thing front first to last, and that in in making hineelf
ridiculous in writing about nothing. I observe he haa
in hiss last latter attacked the Ged•aent lriflCilule if
unsectarianiam, and 11., will perhaiss find abler
than mine to defend that princitde which is bread
as the univeree which command; us to preach the
Gospel to every creature, not merely in our society gse
our chapel, or in our parish, or according to any plan
drawn up by man, bet in all the world to those iitit•
side our chapel, and pariah, Aini I/An. I nhould like
to ank "Local Preacher" what wet Peter, JAMeit,
John, and- all the diaciplen belong b.; the Apontle
l'aul and the 500 who nal* the, Blenned Saviour after
lib. resurrection • to what kind•of " inns" were the

3,000 connected with at the great Pent...met, and to
which denomination were there added daily such as

Church, Brattish Church, Methodist, Baptist, Inde.
pendent, or any manmade place of worship or
"rtfacisation, and if it were not justifiable then,
according to the scripture, why is it now' Men may
reason as they please, nut the scripture condemns it,
for in the beginning it wile not so, and there are
millions of leople to-day determined to live under
that Name alone on eart which they alone will live
under iq leaven, and if • l tourism effects and parties
are to be done away in Heaven, why not& away with it
here. If the efforts of the few unsectarian people are,
as Local Preacher nays, "puny, irregular, spasmodic,"
what about the efforts of Christ and his apostles, of
rt.;13.-cti,a, Ignatius, and in our ovrn day. .4 Lord
of Richard Weaver, Ned Wright, Mr.
Muller, the open air mission, the Evangelisation
Society, and Christian Missions of all shades and
grades, the great Christian Foreign Mission, the
Home Mission, whose motto is not to know anything
among men save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, and
last, but not if4/4, what about Sankey and Moody,
whose names have been a household word for years,
and whose hymns and soles are sung more or leas in
every place of worship in Protestantism ? Whitt is
the meaning of building mission halls and monis so
much in our day if the principles of " no sect" were
not recognised as • broader ground, as more in accord-
ance with the mind of Christ. Tho narrow inlaid says
—" 0411 fire down on thentbnenisse they halos/ not
us," but the Master says—. 'Let them alone, fur he
that is nut against us is for us."
In conclusion, I would refer Local Preacher to the
Ist chapter of Corinthians 1., 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th,
and 14th verses, and then tall the public how far the
&pestle justified the sectarian spirit of Local Preacher.
