Our esterined friend Roe. Ellison CArK>n, in hio oonimnnioslion which Appear* in onr present Wane, infer* that w? charged hU denomination with oh. serving Lent " from the rain* res*ons and in the tan11 way" aa the Romanists. We made ao comparison between them, but merely staled that both denominations observed Lent, <ke. We gave no opinion editorially on the subject, one way or lite other, although we do have decided convie tiona We are willing to give both ere lit for pious intentions, without undertaking to inform any oae that their reasons are pre eiaely the same. In the absence of aoiiptnral p. eeept and' example for Lent, we presume that with both the common reasons for observing it rests on the authority of their churches?and tbeae gel it from tradl tion. We think a great Infirmity of the religioue denominations is over-sentilivenes*. and impetienea and intolerance of free utterances in regard to their respective peculiarities. Wa think it ought to be allowed, without off-nee, for any public journal to ifstfthe peculiarities of the great religious denominations of the world of vary name. Pew at this day are so blind and bigoted as to doubt the goodness and Christian piety nf va*t multitudes in si1 known denominations or Christian*; and wnfortnnately all have to admit that every on# of them includes many either self deceived or worse, who do not r<-a'ly deserve the name of Christians. Salvation is not eon fined to sny denomination or ehnreh, but in eaeh and all whosoever f*sr%-ih Cod and workelh righteousness is accepted of Him?all who truly believe on Jesus Christ. B?t it is true, at the same time, according to the scriptures, that particular churches may adopt notions, doctrines and practices ur inspired, the tendency of which is to take away the reliance of men on the only Baviour. And many men, of undoubted personal holiness, hare taught dogmas; the general acceptance of which, hy weaker entile, would be injurious. Whoever read* theepis'les carefully will be struck with this fact. The ehurcbes In apostolic times were w arned of tha ex iI tendency of vn rioua errors into which they fell, some in ne, some another. The chuich at Gitalin was especially rebuked for ohservlng " days and months and years." J sacs CnntsT and tha apostles set apart no lenta or days for J!i? Church to observe, eith?r hy precept or example, except tha Sabbath day?one in seven, which hy apoetoiie example bees ujc the first day of the week, the day on which the Lord rose from the dead. And it It remarkable that in countries where a ehurch of exclusive domination lias eetab' lished a multitude of holy days, as the nourish Church has done In various kingdoms thsre tha Sabbath is in a manner destroyed The church day* supersede the Lord's day. Many Christians believe that evil must alsijs grow out of all attempts by ehtuchti to establish any Jixtd days and positive ordinances to be observed by their mem b*r\ beyond those eslablirhed by the Lord. We forbear any extended statement of the reasons why other ehorches do not concur iii the ohs- rvance of the L-nt and other days. In justice to those who are opposed to such observances on principle, we should state that they do not regard occasional protracted meetings, each as in the providence of God are deemed proper; or revival meetings, which in their opinion are from the Spirit, as having any real likaneaa to the observance, year by year, of regular fixed day and timet predetermined arbitrarily by church rules and regulations. As before stated, tbe scriptures fix no special daya (or Christian worship, exoept the first day of the week, end no particular fast days. But the apostles and primitive churches did havs more or less protracted meetings and fastings, and revival msetiugs not a fevr, according to c!roum*ttnees, and a; they were moved by the Holy Spirit.? In the nature of things it is not reasonable that the Clir'stian religion which must he preached - to ail nations, kindreda and tongoea in all eiimes, eoold fix a forty days' fast and protracted meeting to oeeur all OT?r the earth in March and April, or I the rame time of the year, without im. posing on fornt region# a burden thai could nut ba borne. The acaaons north end south of the Eqnator are juat oppositespring on one aide la fall on the other; teed time in one place would be hareeat time In another. The Human Catholic Church alone poaaeeeea the necessary machinery to carry oat aalformity in the simultaneous oiraervanee ef days and times all over the earth, la their religious orders and houses.
