ANEw York Exchange contains the following
passage in very superior criticism upon the
merits and dement's of Rev. E. H. Chaplin. It
contains something startling and isa forcible
rebuke to the tawdry rhetoric so preyalentin
the pulpit:
When will the preachers of this day learn
how widespread is the doubt that disturbs the
minds Of educated menu Not only is it diffused
among those who avow themselves unbclievcrs,
butamong members of christian churches, among
those who seldom acknowledge the perplexlty !;
and stranger still, among those who appear i'm
mersed in business or pleasure, there are many
who think earnestly, seriously, faithfully; many.
who cannot be satisfied; who determine not to
think, to drown doubts in the wheel Of excite
mont, but to whom these thoughts return in
spite of themselves, to whom they cling like
the old man Of the mountain to Sinbad, which
they cannot shake Off And yet preachers go
lazily on, telling men and women that God is
love, and will damn them all if they don't be-
lieve. While many, perhaps majority of the
leading literary minds Of these and other coun-
tries are tincturcd with free-thinking notions,
no effort is made, or none commensurate with
the need, to affect the age Missionaries are
sent to Boroboolah Spa, and wall is made over
the Five Points, but the mass Of the educated
people of the country will be intldel before the
preachers know it.

generally conceded, that by tho rules Of comfy

come from tho same county us his opponent, not

revive the unhappy sectional quarrel, now, for.
