Last evening the Rev. DR.. Weston preached n SER

the Holy Apostles In presence OF numerous congre-
CATION The reverend gentleman chose his text from
Acts, fifteenth chapter thirty ninth yerse:-"And the
contention was sharp between them that they de-
parted asunder one from the other" This recorded
the result OF the disagreement between Paul and
Barnabas. They had decided TO visit In company
their brethren In the cities. Barnabas proposed to
take Mark but st. Paul objected. Sooner, however,
than there should be an exhibition Of hostile feeling
each went his way In peace. He proposed to make
the charitable feeling displayed between those holy
men applicable to the present subject, which at the
present tfmc created considerable interest. lie op-

were Influenced by the highest and purest
motives and desired to promote q greater degree OF
harmony; yet he was thoroughly convinced that In
stead Of securing peace and unity II would only end
In confusion and the subversiOn OF the recognized
doctrines Of each separate persuasion. How far
were the limits OF the proposed interchange to ex-
tend, and where was the line Of demarcationf The
movement was not feasible. For instance, In Eng.
land there were no less than one hundred dterent
denominations and In order TO escape the charge Of
being ilbera they should draw divided line II II
were sought to establish the system Of exchanging
pulpits. Again, II the courtesy were extended To
one denomination, why not embrace all, that the
charge Of exclusveness might not be preerreds The
speaker dwelt at some length upon the different
forms of worship, the fundamental truths and re-
lous exercises Of each denomination, aud contended
that the Interchange could not take place without
the suppression Of the established basis OF EACH
Distinctive doctrines must be sustained, and that
was the cause OF the numerous secessons. More
over no minister could give out truth and only
present part. In order to secure this proposed
union in the churches OF the different religious
doctrines must be sunk and 1f 80 the fundamental
verities of denomination must be ignored, which,
however, few would consent TO do. The subject OF
