by bringing the sects together, and mix
ing them with the mass OF other students
we shall soften their asperities, liberalize
and neutralize their preludices, and make
the general religioB, a religion of peace,
reason, and morality
1t is remarkable that the first part oil
this letter-Vol. ". of the Writings,
page 358-contains such remarks on the
doctrines and devotions of Christians.
especially Presbyterians, as, in low abuse
and ridicule, would hardly find a par
allel on the pages Of Paine or any other
writer of his class. The enlightened ad
vocate of religious freedom, whose right
eous Indignation was excited to such a
high degree of fervor by the controversies
of religious sects, was, himself, on these
subjects, one of the most intolerant and
bitter of men. He deserves honor of his
country for his labors in behalf OF reli-
gious liberty and education. The prev
alence OF his own views would have made
the one mere name for the widest Ii
cense of belief and practice, and the other
an engine of destruction.
Buried Treasures.
Reluctantly the writer OF these sketch
es forbears to present further extracts
from the Literary and Religious Nigga
zine published by Mr.. Rice. Vlrglnia
has literature hidden away, in these
volumes and elsewhere, which 1t is to be
feared will continue to remain neglected
and unknown, while modern works o
less merit engage the attention of mel
people.
The Presbyterian Church in our State
has, in Mr.. Rice's magazine, and othel
publications, that are out OF date anC
out of print, and in the manuscripts o
deceased ministers and others, works
that, for solid matter, elegance, and sim
plicity of style, and pure, forcible Eng
lish, would have taken rank with stan
dard works in the religious reading o
the Christian world, if the State had beer
more conspicuous in that world, and the
efforts to make its authors known haC
been more forward.
Among the papers found in the maya
zine there are some of surprising ability
by the editor and his contributors. There
are literary criticisms which would have
commanded attention in the great British
reviews The "Short Discourses fol
Families" by Rev. Matthew Lyle are, IL
substance and style, superior to some
similar works that have attained an i'm
mense circulation; while the series o
Essays on Divinity by DR.. Moses
Hoge are distinguished by their elo
quence, clearness, and theological ability

During this ministry these churches were
greatly built up, the membership of one
being more than doubled, and another
increasing fve-fold. Ill-health again
compelled him to seek rest from pastoral
labor, which he was never to resume,
to do so. In March, 1884, he came to

There is therefore now no condemnation tC

From whence this fear and unbellef,
If God, my Father put to grief

Can He, the righteous Judge of men,
Condemn me for that debt of sin
Which, Lord, was charged on Thee?
Complete atonement Thou hast made,
And, to the utmost farthing, paid

How, then, can wrath on me take place,

And sprinkled by Thy bloOd2
If Thou hast my discharge procured,
And freely in my place endured
The whole of wrath divine,
Payment God will not twice demand,
First at my bleeding Suretys hand,
And then again at mine.
Turn, then my soul, unto thy rest;

Speak peace and liberty;
Trust in His efficacious blood,
Nor fear thy Punishment from God,
Since Jesus died for thee.
