la tho statement ? mad* in r*f?r?i?e? to
th? oWrriM* of L^nt, our ohjsot war *imr*y
to gtrr In a ilnglt Mtinw tho.riew*
f large bodies o/.*v*nge)lci?l OhrVMana, as
- to the absoao* of owriptoral warrant or ex*nnpis
r repeating it. 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.
If any of our reader#, like Oaluo, may
care fur none of these things, and wa ooa
elude by ditela'mlng ell dtsreapeot, but on
the contrary expressing a high appreoiatiua

; It I* a handaumo atnicture, and will be

Immediately upon ita completion, Mr.
W. L. WiTiai leered it for five jeare at $375
per annum. He baa openod a large stock of
dry goode, hate, cape, clotba, caasimeree, and
groceries, which he takes great pleasure in exhibiting
to thoae who call, and takes at ill great*
rr pleasure in felling them, which he has commenced
doing very rapidly. In addition to
tbeie things, he baa added to hie establishment
a feature which ia Tory proper, and anppliea a
desideratum the .haeuee of which baa long
been felt in our growing city, via.: a Furniture
Warehouse. In this warebonae are to he found
quite a variety of bouec furniture,new and juat
from New York, among which we notieed,
Bureaus, Sideboard*, Bedsteads, Waah-standa,

Indeed, nearly everything in tbia line

with e single article, or nn entire eet, juat na
you may prefer. Some of bia eete, which we
bare examined, are excellent in appearance,
and oanpot fail to pleaae those wishing to purchase.
Our citixena should encourage those
who come among us to locate and carry on
business, therefore tbey ought to call and tee
Mr. Warma. and as he ia eery polite and clerar
they cannot lose anything even if they do
not at the time wish to wake a purchase.
