LETTER TO, AN ANTI-CALVINIST. FRIEND.: 111 DEAR SIR 'my 'last letter endeavored to point' put some. of the appal: ling consequences which flow frolic the. position, that God 'intends to do which he does not,always carry into -effeet';' and that, shittin.- - his eyes against futurity he forms purpeses without knowing whether' they will or can be. accomplished: Suck views of Deity must' be' shocking to every intelligent, unprejudiced raja. , The are'-. ator is stripped - of the essential glcaiei the'Godhead; and reduced `to the lei-el' of the createre.,!: Mist "modern- Arminians,, therefore, dinar& view Of 'the Atone-- Mellti: and imiiitain that Christ,.

Arminians. . One of their distinguished writers asserts ,that " Christ ; , did, not„ properly speaking, "die for the , salgation .of any one.'"'--- Grey Ocky. ,8.

Those , Ar:. ; minians who reject ! the view. of the Atone-, went discussed in my lastlettcr,ere driven, by a regard to consistency, to adopt, this, tlmory. • For if they . admit that.:ood , ih tended to save any. sinners . , they must sup:, pose that the final , issue of the, scheme of redemption will perfectly, correspond with, God's original intention—in , other words, that,Ged intended to save just those Who, are actually-saved; This conclusion would be• fatal to their-. whole scheme, and they, therefore are obliged to deny that God, in sending his .Son into. the world,,deiigned the, actual salvation, of any sinners, what, IS TB 'ATONEMENT *WITHOUT • DEVINITIr DESIGN!? a cannot. acquiesce: in the :above'theory,. for the following; among other`reasona : I can never be 'pertmaded that an:all-wise: God.would originate a scheme so vast and so expensive as that of redemption--. 4 scheme to whiek , allfhis, works of ereation- , and providence, from the beginning, have' been subordinated—without some definite object in'view, which could and woirld be accovplished. No :man of 'sound' judgment would be willing to embark 'the :chief•part of his fortune , in a great enterprise, without a defittite pttrpose to be effected by it. Much less would. a God of infinite perfec.: tion undertake that which is the master , ' piece of all his works;' without any view to definite results in'the salvation -of -sinners. TESTIMONY OF SCRIPTURE. Accordingly the Scriptures unifoimly represent the Lord Jesus as doming into the world with the express desigp to, Save sinners to seek avd save the lost, to 'sanc tify and cleanse them, and to bririg tlye~it to god—in other words, to secure their salva tion. The Apostle Paul declares it, to 'be. " a faithful saying, and. worthy of all: so . - ceptation, that Christ Jeans came into the world to save sinners;" not merely to make their salvationpossible, but fo save them. Before the SaVlolleB birth,. an angel ap peared to Joseph, saying, " Thou "shalt call his name Jesus, for he shell save his people from their sins." Paul, speaking of Christ, says, Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, 'and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous. 0f,:g00,4 works ;" and again : " Who hath delivered us from the wrath to come,;".net merely made deliverance possible, bet hatli actually delivered us. Indeed, my dear: sir, this doctrine of a mere possible salva tion, divests the Bible of its most precious meanings, and rendars it almost as barren and empty as the, pages of Socinian theology.

A CHRISTIANIZED :PRESS,'commanding national attention; is not likely to exist for sometime longer, norindeed till religion sat. ! urate. the mass: The Dial, tcywhich I see oecasionalreferencein American jcournals as destined to be a rival` of the Times, has but a limited field and a limited success. Its preliminary expenses were heavy, its early numbers contained /articles that startled the friends of Evangelical truth, deprejitory of dogmatic truth, as is usual with the Rev. Mr. Thomas of Camberwell, one of, its main Promoters and in the spirit of the Nega tive Theology 'School writing down " ortho doxy," by .setting,Up in opposition, to it, "orthopraxy." It was thought expedient,, s . uppose, and charitable, too, to, deal, very tenderly with Unitarianism as a number of the shareholders were of tilt, class.' That was the explanation given me by one of its promoters, when .I reforr,,ediin wave satiojk 'to an-ignoring of EvlngelieleilM, papers that had appeared, including praise of Theodore Parker. Mr. Helyoake, the Secular Apostle, also was very gently hart dled, and the impression left by some early articles was, that Skepticism. was a very respectable and innocuous matter. Mr. Peterßayne, the recently appointed tor ' will, I expect,,prevent such escapades in. future. I was pleased ,to see in a recent review of ,a work by Dr..M'Correac, aphy sician at Belfast, who is nominally, a Uni tarian, but who is rather a Theist, and nothing more, that.while giving, credit for fine moral. utterances, the. grand *defect was the omission. of. that glorious One ",who of God•is made unto, us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption." Mr. Bayne writes well, and with exceeding dignity re buked a virulent attack on:the Dial, by the Saturday Review. -Mr. Bayne,suggested, that: the proper name of the latter should be the "-Saturday Sadducee." The Dial will have a:respectable, but limited circu lation. More than this, it has not funds to become a daay paper. That is the ultimate Object aimed at. But even•if it .were atta.ined, I believe the general , public, would: prefer the, usual morning: pennypapers.; and as to its rivalling the .Times i , or ,putting it. down, the idea is simply; preposterous. I expect that the Times may. and will come. up to a higher moral platform. But all partiesdo, and will, and must read it, whether they agree with it or net. If the paper thity is abolished, it is`affirmed confidently that the Times will be brought out immediately as a 2d: daily, instead of 5d., charging double for advertisements. Such : ,a ehange I believe, meet with, almost unlimited sue r cesb ; and with immense capital, and COT respondence from all' parts of the world, coupledlwith its magnificent 1 ‘ leaders," and its past i prestige, it would ; attain, a loftier and more.- crushing,supiernany , than ever before. . The Witnesi newspaper is now edited by Mr. GeOrge Troupe, editor of Taits Maga= iinei and formerly of the Banner ,of 'Ulster. Mr. Bayne was offered. a,.greatly increased remaneration,in eonne7tion with the Dial. Besides, he has many assneiatiens with the metropolis, and is a member of the Eng- lish bar; althottgh not practising his prb fessien as a lawyer. „ _ THE ItiPISCOPA.L SYNOD of the' Scottish. Church has come to' a lame-conclusion, suggestive' of its own - Weak and tainted condition, .:in, the ~case,.-of the ; Bishop, of Brechin. There.were four Bishops pres ent. The ” pkesentment ! " or charge was, Ist. "Ifiiing taught, in a charge delivered to his clergy in August ; 1857, that the sacrifice of the Eucharist iS, identical with that,. of the Cross ; •2d. That adoration is due to Christ, as .in or under the consecrat ed elements of bread and wine; and, 3d. That there is a reception of Christ by•the wicked. By such doctrines he was charged of .depraving the Scottish Communion and other formularies. These doctrines are nearly identical _with Tractarianism, and are somewhat 'favored by the Scottish - Prayer Book. The Bishop's defence put his case strongly , " as involving the whole question between,the Church doctrine and that of the Puritans," and insisted, that his views, were according to ii the tradition " of his own Church. He said if the. decision should be against him, it would be the first endorsement of "Puritan philosophy" in the whole history of. the Scottish. Episcopal Church, thus.. leading .to Rationalism and " the impiety of Geneva." In reply and in giving"judgment, the Primus would not admit that the doctrine was that of "'uni versal antiquity." The' question was, Is it in accordance •with theirown formularies ? The Bishop of Saint Andrew% denied that it was the doctrine of the earlier tethers. It was taught by Thomas Aquinas, had been lost sight of since the Reformation, .until: revived iuNo: 90 of • the " Tracts for the Times:" The respondent, he held., .went much farther. than St. Cyril and Hooker, ,who taught that our union with Christ is wrought through' real incorpor - ation into his 'proper manhood.' - The Bishop of Argyle, not being able to attend, sent a letter, in which he. stated that he could not have concurred , in, any judgment which would _have gone beyond lan exhortation ,tn'" abstain from specula tive teachire„6,":and scarcely thus far "when I remember that we ourselves; by the sanction •of.a speeial .office of 'uncertain:meaning, led , the way in ,our. Church to speculation the subifot, of,,the: Holy 4actiarist, 'andp, an exaggeration . of position in 'the &et:Monty of redemption Exactly and :honestly true:; there can be no doubt that the languago of the Scottish Communion ,as,strong ,if not stronger than that,of the Mass'Book itself.
