Entertailinient Dr. Jamei Hamilton, of London, has well remarked "There are few kinder things, that friends can do,'then to make one an other acquainted with the memorable pas- ; leigee iri tlin books they have reed." Acting- npon this suggestion, I desire 'to tperform Ilan knot - of kindness to'•goo'd 'friend "The•Pubiic,":; by telling of the enter tainment, and instruction, which is 'to be , foundin the 'little work' :upon't Psalmody, by 'the Rev.> William Annan, Iformerlyteditor of • dhe,Advocate, What 1 -exelaime.,my friend, lentutainmentl entertainmentlll , in a book ,psalmody ? Yes, my:friend,. pledge • you, that if you will read.the first chapter, you will •Opt Step short of finis. This pledge, goes of course upon the presumptiop. that you have an eye to detect the ; glitter of a ;; ,true Damascus blade, a mind that fi res up under the concussion of thought; and taste, to appreciate the beauties of a well wrought ohain of logical deduptions. We hive long been familiar with Annan! s Difficulties of Arminian „*ethodisni; aria have observed what a terrible commotion in the hive, is occasioned' by the circulation et a few copies of thatswork in a'Methodiet ncatitininity ; but 'masterly as that work is, we do nor 'regard it as ' altogether equal: n keen 'perspicacity, or massive argument, to the 'present treatise, upon " Exclusive Ptalincidy." We aliiiire- extieedingly, -the kintiVhirittian spirit with .which the wh'ole 'dismission-is conducted, the perfeelairnelisi whieh the positions ,lof 'his =opponents larestated,uttre humilitrwitly whioltihe de 'tseendslitor all , the little details--of a ' , mai/ question, and the patience with which she ktollowsdiboadversatiett thr _ughlallkthe kitinu lcsitiestritheirtiabyrinthine argument. In'the - first' chapters, he 'deltic utitir - (whO hatalwayi seemed to us a strange,,iirateti nert), the: claim of the Demists to.,an. in spired, Psalmody ;" showing thatftheirabook lot Psalms, so: favfrom , being's version, , is in :many instances' not:even‘a goodvaraphrase:; Wit, sometimes,' misstateathe ,reallsentime at of the -Psalmist, ittanottasionally, runs into ;absolute doctrinal• error; as, in Psalreolxix: 4, , where .the ‘satisfaotion of Chriet,,,bistead of being free,and voluntary, upon his' part, it represented as a forced transaction: But the chief,-,and as we think the best cha' racteristie of, the book,, is its, aggreesive ,ieatnre., It takes the position broadly, that whilst it is,proper to,use a 'good paraphrase of David's Psalms in the praises of God, an exclusive use of such a Pealmody is , wrong, and contrary to the spirit of New Testament worship: We invite 'special attention to this partlif the work, be we believe it is the "pith of ttliektbettilliatter;" and the 'swan:antis presented,. by. our ,suthori with , singulart clearness of ,expressioni rand ..forge of• rhetoric. • We - think it will take oar ", exclusive Psalmody-brethren," a long.titne to convince We•world-tk a t it ie right to Bing the praises of a finished redeniption, in lan guage which speaks' 'Of Saviour yet to come. This etrange devotion to Rotise, sand his "inspired words," seems ;to be in a , great measure peculiar to modern times, if not, indeed, to our Ameilean Oburahes. The General Assembly, which adepted this para phrase, evidently entertained no such nar row views. In readirie the riiird volume of "Our Christian Clasaios," by Dr. James Hamilton, we' met with • an , .iastruotive e* 4 tract, from the writings rd . - Robert one of *the IScotch Commiseioners •to the General Aisetnbly, bywhieh thist paraphrase ,of Rouse wasadopted. Speaking of the,effort whioh was then being made - to induce the Assembly to , adopt Rouse's took. of Psalmody he says " Its friends are verie .preasing in the Assemblie that his book may be examined, and helped'by thestallOi*in what 'places be feund meet, and then com mended bythe Parliament, that "they 'may injoin the publiek use-of it.
