Filial Duty.—Among the American
Indians , one of the fu st lessons they in-
cul caie on their children , is duty to the it
parents and respect for old arje ; and
there is not among the most civilized na-
tions any people who more strictly ob-
serve iht* duty of fi ™il obedience. A fa-
ther need only to suV in the presence of
his children, •' 1waft such a thins done ;

To Rev. Mr. Harris — Hyatiuis , Mass.
Rev. Sir I—-Being present hist Sabbath ,
in llie aflertfcH)!) , at the House where you
was , a few in%nihs since , ordained to preach
llie word s otvlernal f if e, to that part of
ihe 'fi 'Id of (Jmi s t entrusted to your care , I
had an opportuni ty of Rearing yon , and
of j ud iMii!.' froii wlnt/^ou taug ht us , Iki w
you perfii i-in ihr» dittos of iliiit imp orlant
.—llwi t s-ic.red ulUcii This is tin ; sure way
Io det ermine \vhi\j er the preacher sp eaks
agree able to K'asjAi and scri ptur e. Kor
iii slaiwc : il ' y ou«*i;*d asserted th.it Chrisl
woidd s;i ve ii*M N y the grace of (jiod should taste
death for rrcri/ man. "
If you had stated that tint a part was
gi ven |o CliM"! , then you would have de-
nii'd llie expres s di claralion of our Sav-
iour :for he declares, .lohn. '
.'
>. ,'i.O, lli al
" Thei'aiher lovelh the Son , and h at h
given n// thing s into his hai 'd. " And il
you li ad said tliat onl y a p url of what
(iml lias hivcii him woulii enme to him ;
llien you would have denied your Saviour.
Hear him. St. John , li. 'AT, " //// lli at ihr
Father giveth me sbij ll come Id me ; |M;n I;
till: last clause of ibis, verse,J and him llial
coinelh to me I will ki no wise,cast out. "
I/ ' you was so lost fti the import of the
|hrase "eternal life,"+-lbilj fvords of which
von w asoi dained Io prlarlj f—as to declare
that a pail of your felh^v^realures,— llio '
nol. so worth y as yoursi'K,— would sufler
eternal denili in an i m , 2.'3, 2I ,
25 ,— tin ; correspiind'ing testimon y ol St.
Paul as recorded in liis [E pistle io llie. Phil.
'2. {). 10, II ;—and what was revealed to
St. John when lie beard every creature
praising and adorini; the i.amb of G'od ,
would never lie full lilled. See Rev. 5, l.'i .
Thus you discover , fioin ihe si' examp les,
the imp ortance of comparing the doctrines
which the pr eacher inculcates , wi th llie
scri pl u n s of Divine until. lint ' this , I
confess, could nol be accomp lished with-
out llie assistance of rettxon,—llie choicest
g if t of (iod to man ,— whi ch you are soine-
lini"s disposed to lay aside, in mailers of
thi s kind.
Your 11¦xI is found in Rev. '
A. 5. Upon
llie doctrines which you attempted to build
on this passage you will permit me to mak<
a lew remarks. In consequence of y oui
being a professed minist er of the Uospel ,
I have reason to expect lhat you will indul-
ge no unchristian sp irit towards any per-
son who mav dilTi'i from you in his reli g-
ious op ini ons ; nor, an uncharita ble sp iii t
Inwards those wli6 may , in a Chri stian

whi ch you m ay, a r a ny time , advance. —
As a public. Teacljer ,yo n are bound Io im-

of peace.
Your text was addressed to the Angel
of the church at Sardis. li Hi:that over-
com'
cth the name shall be cUp hcd in white
ra/ni nt." This being cloihe/r
f in svhile ra-
nient in consequence of overcoming some-
thing; which existed ajinoiig some of llie
church at Sardis,you I'eJfJrt.'d to Man 's fu-
t ure existence. Wh y fttil you not inform
us what it was which/line of this church
was warn ed to overrule that tiny mi g ht

ul

the various quotations , you made from

he ever threat ened any of his hearer s, or
any man , with an endless hell in nl sin 's
future existence , if he did not overcome
llie worl d, ilesh , and the devil i You will
not deny but what you preached ,—for
the portion tho se who do not overcome
these foes lha t (jod permits to exist ,—un
endless hell ! But was you not ordained
Io preach th e word of eternal Ilk '
i How
the n , with a conscience void of offence
towards (Jod and man , did you preach
that ciu el —that unmerciful doctrine ?—
Did you r Heavenl y Father ever call you
to pieach .the doctrine of un endless hell
for a part of IJi s o/e/i offspring, which Ik-
lo ves wilh infini te compassion j* To tin;
feet of this cruel .seiileiiieul its true belie-

have fallen beneath its iron grasp victims
to desp air , insanity, and suicide! Tile
i nvention of the piutracted , or , four-days
meetings so abundant , of late, in this
County, has hurried many, according to
the belief of those engaged in carrying this
distruciive woi k throug h the la nd , not un-
