FOR TIE vIR6rNsAN,


The discussion of theological Subjects has
too frequently been attended with more or
less injury TO true and vital religion; aud is
one which will always lead into much error
when madviscdly undertaken by those who
have little acquaintance with the subject. -
When, however, we see a writer coming
t'rNmd. and attempting 10 show to the
world, the peculiar doctrines Of a variety of
sects, we have right to expca, that he has
informed himself of their different peculiar
tiles, and will state them with correctness
and lmpartlaIity. far Mpmus's infor-
nation extends how far he has been 20
verned by those rules of correctness which
should ever mark the proceedings of him,
VINO attempts to mpart instruction on re-
llgious topics, or how far he has been influ-
enced by mNldlous motives, may hereafter
appear.-That there is great diversity of
opinion in the world respecting religious
sublects-that there are almost innumera-
bic sccts, in different parts of the world. all
proicssingto build their peculiar beliefs ON
the sacredword ofGod, is a fact apparent to
the most lnatteutiye observer And it is this,
winch has perhaps impeded the march of
The gospel more than all the infdels, who
nave risen up against il, or than all the SUI
herlicial reasoning of the host of deistical
philosophers who hate throngd the Euro
pean nations from time to time, and who
nave bent all the powers of their minds to o
'erthrow the doctrines of the Cross.-The
effects of these have been inconsiderable
ana 'ransltory, rs every attempt must
prove, which aims to subvert that which
he better reason of man teaches to be the
dictates ofnature.
That religion emanated from Heaven and
was designed for an inestimable blessing to
man IN this life, as guide TO him when
surrounded by its cares and vicissitudes a
supporter under the troubles aud misfor-
tunes to which he is ever obnoxious in this
probationary state, and point him the way
through the dark valley OF the shadow of
death, to the splendours and majesty of the
realms ofrest, is truth, to which every
one who fehects right must subst rihe.--
Hence II IS, that with regret see those
who are proiessedly its followers, coming
forward and charging some of their byeth-
rem with doctrines at which they would re-
volt with detestation, and in refuting which
many of their ablest divines have spent
their talsnis and lives. That Menus. ia
