TJnipn, injand byßself,; is; not the greatest of 'blessings, or the first of duties,' in the judgment of a truePi-esbyto rian. On "the, other 1 ha'nd, tbhre ls'a narfow indiyidualism, an obstinate self-opinion,., in ‘ the Presbyterian body, equally, or, indeed, far more •worthy of rebuke than the unrea soning, head-long zcaj. for TJnibn'which ‘is sometimes seen. A certain logical subtlety; is developed, by doctritial studies, under ,tW influence of Calvinism, which is quick to de tect and prone to magnify errors; Or differ-; cnees of opinion ontninor matters; to which all truth to be of ‘ equal and sacyedness; a mental character which is without proportion or perspective in its conceptions; am over-sensitive Conscience, quick to take offehce at imagined pr real slights put upon somo branch of truth on which it has . been dwelling. Such tenden cies as these have produced, what may be termed a Caricature of. Presbyterianism- with a history of divisibris’and secessions, and with a harsh nomenclature, of party names, far , more creditable to the critical faculty than to the piety of the actors; revealing,indeed, a wonderful power of conscience, but utterly irreconcilable with the majesty, beauty and strength, which Presbytery is designed to give to. the externals of the House of God. Instances are not wanting in which this in dividualism has been carried so far, as''to lead as fow as two or three ministers and congregations.,Jbp dptaeh themselves sound orthodoxs, body, and for the sake .of some minor question ‘on which they 1 had nuirsed a morbid 'conscientiousness, to organ ize into a distinct P'rbsixyterian body. Such an occurrence we haye; has,: to chronicle in the recent history of the Reformed Presby terian Church' in Scotland; 1 whSre, in; 1864, a discussion arbse as' to thbpropriety ‘of members unitiiig with the vpfun'teer .Rifte Corps, then, forming, through fear of French; invasion, all over*the island.
