It is now three years since the Liberal Preacher was first published, and upon commencing the fourth volume, the Editor and Publisher gratefully acknowledge the gratifying patronage which it has received, and assure the subscribers and the public that no pains will be spared to render the work worthy of approbation and support. This is a monthly publication of Sermons by living ministers of the Unitarian denomination. It is designed to recommend the truths, and promote the interests of the gospel, by giving the public access to the pulpit writings of a class of Christians, whose views are believed to be scriptural, and their productions, serious and profitable; and at the same time, to correct the prejudices and misrepresentations with which their name and their tenets are associated in many minds. At this end it aims, by simply presenting specimens of the doctrinal and practical sermons of Unitarians, and leaving them to speak for themselves. The work will be supplied by writers of the highest professional standing. TERMS. I. A number is published the first week of every month, and will contain one long, or two shorter sermons. II.

RELIGION, ILLUSTRATED BY A COMPARISON OF IT WITH OTHER QUALITIES AND OBJECTS. NO. III. METHODS OF EXHIBITING RELIGION. I proceed in the third place from the means of cultivating and promoting religion to the methods of exhibiting it. These I would subject to the same test, which has been applied to other things in religion. When a man has become possessed of religious sentiments and affections, a question often occurs to him on the proper method of exhibiting the state of his mind to others. He would know how he shall adorn the docrtine of God, his Saviour. He would know, how he shall let his light shine before men, that they may glorify his Father in heaven.' Now the answer to this question is summarily comprised in the rule that has already been given. He should display his religious affections, no otherwise than as he displays any serious, joyful and earnest affections he may possess. |
