New. mr.. Jsceiyn's Lecture.
We have heard 20 often and 10 much OF
Mr. Jooeiyn's Lecture on "Daniep' that We
are disposed to think IL superfuous TO add
any thing to the simple fact that it is to be
s delivered in this city, this svsning. As,
however, some Of our readers may not have
heard Of it, We will say that ii 10 lecture
admirably adapted to the times. II IL not
simply historical, nor 10 it, as some might
think, disquisition on the dark subject Of
prophecy. We advise every ono to 90 and
hear for himself.
The lecture will be delivered in the Chat
ham Square Methodist Church. and the nett
proceeds viii be applied for the establish
nsnt of Library under the charge Of the
Literary Ipstituts.
Admission 75 cents. Tickets can be bad at
the Book Stores, Hooper's Drug Store, and
the door.

finally resolved to take ii in good faith a. N
honest invitation TO s'calm and earnest in

road your appeal to my people from the desk
on Sunday morning, gave my understanding
OF it, expressed my desire to hear your leo
lures, and requested them to attend your
opening that We might the better judge Of
your Intentions. A goodly number Of N
we're present at your frat lecture, Sunday
evening, and there heard more definitely OF
your plan Of LECTURES and ito moving causes.
You invite us TO twelve Sunday evening dis
courses, running through three months, -on
quarter Of year OF course you cannot
expect us to give you so much Of our precious
time without some assurance that the cour-
tssy will be returned by you and your peo-
pie, sIsTestiga.ien,n At least IN controvurz
sial theology, impliss argument and discus
sion. We need to hear both sides for Acou-
racy OF statement and definition, and to test
the strength OF our position. Thus only 10
error sifted out from the truth, and each
party kept clear OF Misrepresentation, mis-
statement and fallacy. know the objso-
tions to oral discussion, even between pro-
fessed disciples Of the Prince of Peace and
on the doctrines OF that Gospel which was
to bring ''peace on the earth, good will to-
wards men," think, therefore, you have
wisely rendered the issue 10 the form OF leo
lures, as most likely to insure 'sealn and
earnest investigation" May We ask you,
then, to come and invite your people 10 come,
on alternate Sunday evenings, and listen TO
our defence Of Unitarian Christianity Do
you say this course will occupy too much
time? Let the arguments, then, be CON-
densed, mot common fault in sermonixing,)
and let rs complete the course with six leo
lures apiece, or more or less ~ ycu may elect.
You cannot objsc. that such course viii
give our system Of error any undue advantage
over your plain Bible truth, especially -

present position" and that Sour system, in
this land and age, has been = JailSss.n You
