ANYBODY.


As this period fruitful in theological disputes
feel disposition TO have finger in the pie, although
cannot help thinking would be, the whole for
the interests OF vital religion to ncucate the sentiment of
ety than to revive and pcrpctuae sectaran eaouses
| and antipathies among the various denominations OF
Christians whose fundamental doctrines essentially
the same
Being however, willing TO fall in with the prevailing
spirit OF the times propose to discuss, in that mild and
tolerant spirit remarkably exhibited of late similar
subjects the following propositions which am ready to
maintain against all corners, to wit:
There can be no church without a steepe;
No congregation without people.
Preliminary however to entering the discussion il
will be necessary to settle the following points
lst. What is a church
ID What is a steepei
Sd What is a congregation
4th What is people
<As soon as these indispensable ground works OF the ar
gument settled to the satisfaction Of all parties, am
prepared to enter the lists, OH foot horseback.
Yours, &c. PETER POLEMIC.
