THE' PEE'SBYTERY OF lAN.A.BIC AND TILE
OENEIAL ASSEMBLY OF SCOTLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE OLAPOOW CHRONICLE.
Sig—l have read with attention the various
communications which have of late appeared in your paper,
containing strictures on the character of the villagers of New
Lanark, and on the conduct of my father, Mr. Owen • and I
fled myself perssnally appealed to, by the Rev. Mr. Welker,
in his last letter. ' That Gentleman does me only,jastice in be-
lieving that I Shall not fear again-to come forward, or shrink
from corroborating what I have already asserted.
'Before proceeding to some observations, which I beg leave
to oti'er on the two letters which were inserted in your Paper
of the 16th inst.:, and answering the more immediate appeal
mad.e to me by Iklr. Walker, I must solicit the indulgence of
your "Readers, *mad I he betrayed into greater length than I
could wish, if 9 shorter reply were consistent with the full and
' 'distinct manner in which the subject requires to be treated.
And, to begin with a few remarks on the first of theie
letters
r.. .
M Lamb objects- to* my father's religion, that it ii one
which inculcates only charity, and requires merely''* reciproca.
tion of kind :muds and kind offices, to the " disruption of
emery the by which men have hitherto been bound-and bless-
ed." The peifect consistency of the concluding commentary I
altall not impegn, by inquiring whether that reciprocation be
not itself one Of the strongest of those ties, but shall merely
.ailr Mr. Lamb whether he has not heard of the almost In-
stantaneous affects produced on the most. hardened of the
Newgate criminals, by a steadily pursued system of kindness ;
and whether he had not, at the time he expressed the above
opinion, left Cut of view an exposition of the erects of cha-
rity on the conduct, which he will find in the Scriptures.---
"Charity stffereth long, and is kind; charity envteth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up ; (loth not behave
herself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily pro-
voked; thinlieth no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but re.
gsolceth in the truth ; heareth all things, believeth all things,
opeth all thin, endureth all things." Any one therefore
who professes a religion even of mere charity, and acts con..
SigebtlY With such a profession, will suffer many things be.
fore he results to extreme measures; and even then, his
interference *ill be in the spirit of kindness; ho will nut
envy his neiebour'S character, nor his neighbour's success;
he will never taunt himself, as considering his testimony alone
worthy of criit, nor be so puffed up as at once to reject the
testimony of 'those who may differ with him in opinion • he
will not behaviihimself unseemly, or ever descend to low abuse,
for be will nut be easily provoked, and even violence, on the
Part of his opponents, will not call forth similar conduet on his
part ; lie will . never seek either his own aggrandizement, or that
of his party, iv ; the expence of others ; he will not thick evil of
any one, exec; it with the - most unquestionable prods before
him. nor e'er insinuate any thing to the disadvantage of a
single ft; creature, it any, even the slightest dout, remain
in his 1 that such insinuation may unjustly asperse
tile chart r of 'that fellow-creature; he will never re-
joice in tl niquity, either of his friends or his enemies, but
will rejoice in the truth of whatever tends to • vindicate
their prim iples or their conduct; ,lie will bear with
his opponents; he will hope and believe the best, and will en-
dure much rather than injure any one. Now surely a religion,
/
the practical influence of which is to form such a character,
sisould not be put, down unexamined, or rejected as being
merely a 1.4 ligion col charity. Ido esteem and profess such a
religion. 1 know that it has effectually excluded from my mind
those "claviical reminiscences," lets pure and charitable than
poetical, ' hich have invaded that of .Nlr. lamb. I, too, have
walked out on a Sunday evening ;. but, in the quiet and cheer,
tut denulinour of the villagers, and in the happy faces of the
children; and young people, I have discovered no trace, either
of itepre,per mirth or " unseemly dalliance;' and. simply be-
cause I did not, in cull individual I met, look for, or expect to
find it. had I been tattled upon to assign a reason for such
cialet dlieerfulness, I should have sought for it in the dream:
atanciii which had exempted these people front the operation of
the inivident motives to anxiety or dejection, and in the ex-
liiii ting effects' of a fine summer's evening., when all nature
is still and besutiful. I myself experienced the same cheerful
fee,„:,„3; and charity forbad my attributing the existence of
these, in the minds of others, to a different causer e from that
which created them in my own. I blush for the clergyman in
wliose mind, some other motive seemed necessary ; and who
comid 'yen wren a still blacker insinuation against the female
