For the Telegraph.

Dear brother Murray I'm your reouke OF
the papers intoxicating an obvious heresy, IN
circulating without note or comment an an
ecdote under the caption, God does part
and the sinner a part" it appeared TO me that
you did not fully purify the waters, so that
the ursaved soul could see clearly what 9th
ers had done, and of course W.T. at must be
done, that they might be regenerated and
obtain an admittance into the kingdom OF
God.
Be kind enough, in some future number OF
the Telegraph, to tell US exactly what the
sinner does, and must do, and you will great
ly oblige your humble servant,
A WELL wIsHER TO SOULS.
Our corresp ondent will recollect that, in
the remarks referred to, we did not under
take to teach sinners the way of salvation
but merely to rebuke those teachers who
had "darkened counsel"-not so much "by
multiplying words without knowledge, "as b,
using words without care. Most cheerfu!ly
however, do we comply with our brother
request, and offer to the sinner our views o
his duty.
In scripture language, then, we tell hin
he must repent'-" turn" repent an
turn to God, and do toorks meet for repent
ance"-"ceose to do epir-"bs reconcile
to God"
The idea that it is the sinners duty, {
his means of salvation, to contend with Go

hope no more Of the avails Of unrequited
toil will flow into the Golfers of our be-
nevolent Institutions; and the Lord may
have sent these divisions for the puroose
ofkeeping New England institutions pure.
Slavery has done il all. All at once.

that the Plan Of Union" Is unconstitu-
