Religion has for its object the moral care and the moral cultivation of man.

Its beauty is not to be sought in the regions of mystery, or in the flights of abstraction.
What ignorance! Is there a single moral precept of the Gospels not to be found in the Old Testament?
Not one.

A new edition of White's 'Diatessaron', with a running comment the Hebrew, Greek, and Roman writers before Christ, and those after him who, it is morally certain, drew no aids from the New Testament, is a grand 'desideratum'; and if anything could open the eyes of Socinians, this would do it.

The masculine strength and moral firmness which once distinguished the great mass of the British people is daily fading away.

Methodism with all its cant, &c.
Well! but in God's name can Methodism be at once the effect and the cause of this loss of masculine strength and moral firmness ?--Did Whitfield and Wesley blow them out at the first puff--these grand virtues of masculine strength and moral firmness?
Admire, I pray you, the happy antithesis.
