determined to rival the Hebrews in Crosby street,
not in Gnement and wealth. for this they cannot do,
but in religion. They certainly more devoted
and attend to religious services accordance
with the Jewish laws than the others. An excel
lent discourse lately preached by very learned
Doctor, and another is to be delivered by the Rev.
Mr. Isaacs the Reader Of the Elm street Shuie (Sy-
nagogue) on Satur ay next. Subject-Atonement.
Do not understand as to mean, The 1itoasment, a
grand topic in Christian Theology; in this the Jews
do not believe. Next Wednesday is the great feast
Of Kippur Atonement.) and it is on the observance
etc. this day, that MIR. J. is to discourse.
QuARRELs OF SAINTS Rev Mr.. Hodgson, OF
Middletown, Conn, is good pluck; he is out again
against Rev. Mr.. Tyler, who has taken the liberty
to review his work on ''Ncw Divinity" The fact
is tina, Mr. II. is young man, but of yesterday il
were; he studied Divinity and Theology shoe
makers seat, few years back; bat notwithstanding
this, he possesses fine logical and discrm mating
mind Tyler is smart, educated fellow, and in this
controversy, has a numbe Of his brethren TO lend
helping hand. Mr.. II ought TO know this, and if
necessary, should procure help from the College
where he resides. Surely, Middletown can boast of
some great min IS among the Nethodists.
TESTIMONY Persons OF CoLoR.-The Gene
see Conference have just addressed letter, with
long report, complaining against the law recently
assed by the last General Conference, which ex-
cudes the testimony of persons Of color in the
church. The letter is well written, and in the spirit
of great kindness. They intend petitoning the next
General CT nferen &c 10 repeal this ''nhuman law.
PIors FIsAScE.-When; The Rev. Mr. james was
appointed financial agent Of the Bible Society We
spoke Of il in terms of appreciation. Since then we
have had cause to regret the appointment Mr.. Us
.I.,, Tc.bl. and ~ he tou
Mon that the conference would release him from
hi, charge in the Mulberry street Church Instead
of being relieved, he has had the whole duty Of his
church and of his office attend 70. These two ap-
poin,ments it is impossible for any individual to
fill, without doing injustice 10 the one or 10 the
other, and perhaps TO beth. Some change must, OF
course, be made. Mr. j. possesses fine mind,
and cannot be well spared from the ministry.
ixvrATIoy.-As Mr. Harris, the great expelled
local preacher, cannot succeed in getting his con-
munication inserted into the Christian Advocate
and Journal, advise him to send IL 10 We
will do him justice. and abolition too We can CON
vince him that the only true friend he has,
except the miserable fanatics and Scott
and perhaps DIR. Barrett
A DsrAN This is the title Of an excellent and
interesting article in the last Christian Observer
signed &. b. From its easy and flowing style, and
from the subject itself opine il is from the pen
Of Professor Bush. We hope that christians Of all
denominations, particularly the B,ptsts, will give
it serious aad candid peru-sl. II the bible com
mands us TO be baptised, i. e., mashed, purified,
what right have cur Baptist brethrea TO prescribe
one particular mode in which this rite 10 70 be per-
formed, and drive those Christians from their COM
munion table, who cannot conscientiously conform
to their narrow viewsl Let them remember that
"the letter kleth, but the spirit maketh alive; /"
that salvation is not ehesP to be bought with
little more water.
Low FEAsr.-A delightful Love Feast was held
last evening at Brother TrPpett's Church, in 9Th
street We were present, and were pleased TO hear
the religious experience Of the pious members, IS
pecially that OF the lovely women Thi, church
does no; increase rapidly; but il can boast ofsterng
members. The situation Of the building is bad had
il been placed in 2nd 3rd streets, IL would bav
been much better. Methodist churches do not pros
per we'll when surrounded by very rich worldly
people. Although the eth street folks owe eonside-
rable on the building, with good management. the
whole will soon be paid. Pray, dear brethren, fer
better times.
