sing the Scriptures Its th;rty-ourth anniversary

of the late DR.. Charming, who was one OF the ear

occasion to give tbs reasons WHY he as a man,
and as an officer the Church. felt bound 10 sup
port the Society. He was followed by the Rev.
DR.. Sharp, Baptist clergyman Of this city. who
made one remark particularly worthy of notice,
coming as it did from strictly orthodox man, IN
the presence OF those whom he and others like
him, consider heretical in their religious opinions.
He said the meeting of the Bible Society always
suggested to his mind the idea that. after all. it
was not the points in which the various denom-
nations differed with each other that formed a
true Christian character. but those in which they
were all agreed. This remark was responded to
by Mr.. Lathrop, (Unltarian,) who also took occa-
sion to make some illusions to the views held by
some of his own denomination respecting the IN
spiration of the Ser ptures.
