Excerpt from Letters on the Trinity, and on the Divinity of Christ: Addressed to the Rev. William E. Channing, in Answer to His Sermon -on the Doctrines of Christianity- The word of God, and reason, and experience, are all in oppo sition to the thought, not unfrequently entertained, of a very great change having taken place in the disposition ofmen to wards Christian truth, and towards those who faithfully proclaim it, in comparison with that manifested in the time of the Apostles. The enmity of the carnal mind - that is, of every mind unre newed by divine grace - remains the same. It may not be carried to the same extent in the outward exhibition of it, nor embodied in thesameforms. Still, now, asformerly, itis true that there isapowerful spirit of oppositionwthe Gospelamongstmen amongst professing Christians - even amongst the inhabitants of England, of Scotland, and of this City. The result also must be the same. As the Apostles were suspected, insulted, perse outed, - the same, with the limitations before described, must be the portion of every man who sets before his fellow-creatures, as he did, the fearful depth of their natural depravity - the number and aggravation of their actual sink-the condemnation to which.

Excerpt from Letters on the Trinity, and on the Divinity of Christ: Addressed to the Rev. William E. Channing, in Answer to His Sermon "on the Doctrines of Christianity;" Preached and Published at Baltimore II. The limited range of the human faculties should inv spire us with humility and self-distrust in considering those doctrines which we cannot explain, and which are confessed iy beyond our comprehension.
