Bns~Weins the following at the request
of an esteemed lady correspondent who is
earnest in the defense of her religious faith:
Mr. CARLILE
win you be kind enough TO give the fol-
lowing comprehensive views of the Unita-
rian faith insertion in your paper, ior the
benefit Of those who, even in these enlight-
eued days, and here in our own midst, af-
feet to believe all Unitarians as no better
than heathens, and entirely without just
hope of salvation, and destitute of any claim
upon Christ.
Strange, indeed, does it seem that any
mortal being should set up his or her ipse
dirt as the criterion of right; and, stranger
still, that, in this nIl-important matter of

in deed and in truth, the Father of all and
always, who ordains all things ia time and
eternity in accordance with the Infinite love
which the sacred writer declares Him to be,
aud that he purposes that all things shall
J work together for good to them that love
Him, and that He desires and intends that all
shall love Him; that there is one Lord
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, the Sa-
vior of men, the true, the efficient, the living
Savior, who taught, wrought, suffered, died,

and Sill continue to reign until all enemies
shall he Subdued, even death ITSELF until
all sin and evil shall bc overcome, and piety
and holiness shall bless the whole universe
