peace. An over heated zeal has been a principal source of the miseries the church has endured. Christian sects have been willing to propagate their opinions at any cost, from mistaken ideas of their importance. They have forced, not followed, Providence. May we avoid their error; and though persuaded that our opinions are true, and important as true, and must ultimately prevail, let us not hasten too fast, but wait the fit concurrence of times and circumstances. God watches over his truth as he does over his material creation, and in his own time, and in his own way, will raise it to honour and a universal empire.'

TO THE PUBLIC.

The proprietors of the CHRISTIAN EXAMINER inform the friends and patrons of the work, that they have engaged the services of a gentleman as editor, who will have leisure to devote himself almost exclusively to the interests of the publication. They trust that by this step it may be made yet more acceptable to the religious public, and more worthy of the approbation it has received, as well as a more efficient instrument for the promotion of religion. The proprietors and former contributors to its pages, do not in any degree withdraw their labours from the work, but are engaged still to watch over it and write for it. They only design to relieve themselves from the burden of the active editorship. To enable them to do this, which the interests of the publication have seemed to demand, they call upon their friends and the christian public, to exert themselves in extending its circulation, and adding to the list of its subscribers. The additional expenses incurred by, the contemplated change, render this absolutely necessary; and it hardly need be added, that the importance of such a publication to the religious community is such as to warrant and demand an earnest call for its yet better support. Any aid in effecting this purpose will be gratefully received as a contribution to an important religious object.
