REV. d. c. KELLEY, pastor OF the
McKendTee Church, in Nashville,
preached a sermon last Sunday on the
Resurrection, which appears to have
stirred up a regular theological hor-
nets nest. The papers speak Of it as
a "new departure" aud while we have
not seen the sermon itself, we judge
from the discussions in the papers
that the Reverend Doctor has not
gone in the beaten paths. He is a
learned gentleman and an original
thinker. AS such, his views will COM
msnd attention.

we thank our friend for the items, and
hope for a renewal, especially if they

what rare, of being the truth.
