A Dover divine, of imperleus propensities, on
recent Sabbath employed the following passage
from Matthew:-"All power is given unto Me.
in heaven and in earth, :" as a suitable (9) in
strliment with which to castigate every known
element Of Whatever faith, inlmcal to the results
OF his superlative (?) comprehension. Dean
Stanley, of Westminster, England, and q
number OF other eminent gentlemen of the
theological profession were made subjects of
special Gerisioa. The profundity with which
he denounced these honorable scholars with
their respective creeds, was indeed amazing.
10 those SO far lost to their God as to practice

those SO void OF common decency as to presume
upon close communion. he gave-whatP True

just rolled himself up in q knot and by the dis
pensation of a few fiagrsnt sneeys, all was I'm
ished. We could not give the gentleman our
undivided attention, owing partly to disgust,
and partly to the intrusion of memories of the
old woman who exercised such solicitude for
the safety Of Gen. Lees army when she thought
her dog "Trip" was trying to bite it. AS a
man and minister of the gospel We respect our
reverend subject. and freely grant HIM the
right of his convictions as regards the way OF
life. But as to an uncompromislng and oppro-
brious consideration OF other christian denomf-
nations being an appropriate service to God, or
IN accordance with the precepts of the one creed
| to which he claims adherence. or even exercis-
ing due respect to his fellow-man, We are not
persuaded. 1t Is, indeed, strange that any one
| little man-Only One-among u mortality of over
| thousand million of souls-millions Of whom
We're born and reared under circumstances and
advantages equal with his-csn assume such
lllinitable proportions as to assert that he and
his alone, are right. ''Every way of 3 man il
right in his own eyes; but the Lord poDderett
the heart. PROV. 2l:2.
