The Churchman. Enlirffed Series. Vol. 4. No. 3.

Mardi, 1838. London Painter.

We are sorry that we are placed under the disagree-
able necessity of speaking in terms of disparagement of
publication Which purports to be a defender of the
vienerable church and constitution of England; how-
Over,. a regard for truth compels us to say that the
Churchman is calculated to do a great deal_ more,injury
tflt:good to the interests- which it; professes to subserve.
iltirof the papers. in the number before us actually in-
intcate some of the worst doctrines of the Church of
Ronan. ALI of them are pervaded by a 'spirit of in-
tolerant bigotry, which is but ill calculated to exhibit
the Church of England in a favourable light. With re-
spect to one or its articles the Chester Gazette has the
rollowing very just remarks :
_

gytnani,-4. net worth the trouble of reading; the sleuth:dents

in a would:be'religious publication, and published forsooth in
defence of the Church, we say .uo more, lest we should be be-

Sermons preached in the Parish Church of Mendle-
sham, Suffolk, by the Rev. Henry Thomas Day,
L.L.8., Vicar. London : Painter.
These sermons, though issued from the office of "The
Churchman," are characterised by a very different
spirit. The praiseworthy zeal, and the anxious desire
forthe spiritual welfare Of his charge, which are .dis-
played„inthis v'clUme, are truly commendable. The
sermons are chiefly of a practical character. Thesub-
jects are " Paul's Commission- "Christ the Demon-
stration of God's Power-and Wisdom"—"The Building
of the Spirit"—" The teaching of Girruce"---" Christ
ihe Bread of Life"-7-"The Baptism of the Holy Spirit"
the Freed Slave"—"The Confession of God"—
" The. Chief Object"—" The State of the disembodied
Spirit"—" The Love of the World incompatible with
emir Calling"—" The Danger Of Procrastination"--
"ChriSt our all"—" The recompense of Heavenly
Love"—" Life is a perpetual Trial"—and " Clifist,the
Way." ,The style of this volume is concise and forcible.
The sentiments are strictly evangelical. We wish the
work eirery 'success.
