C., April 22, 1826 In different periods the modes of attack have, it is true, been varied, but the same fixed and malignant determination to effect the overthrow of the religion itself has never been abandoned. Scarcely a quarter of a century has elapsed since a violent effort was made in France to abolish ecclesi astical orders and establishments, the Sabbath, public wor ship, and all those institutions of good order by which the in terests of Christianity have been perpetuated, and its bene fits extended to the human family - And, however humilia ting the fact may be, we cannot look abroad upon the reli gions state of society, in our own country, Without acknow ledging that infidelity has its advocates among us, and that there are many in the different classes of society in uenced by various motives, who are ready to ock to its standard, and to become the disseminators of deistical prmcrples. The works of the celebrated infidel philosophers of England and France, and of their disciples in this country, are still read, and although less industriously circulated than formerly, not Imfrequently fall in the way of the young and inexperienced, recommend themselves by the fascination of their style, and the ingenuity of their arguments, and, if they do not, by their artful Sophistry, completely unhinge the mind, and lead to a. Total rejection of Revelation, yet they do a serious injury, by exciting doubt, and encouraging a spirit of sceptical specula tion.
