With regard to the other argument urged by the advocates for the British and Foreign Bible Society; _viz._ The love and harmony which, by such an union of churchmen with dissenters, will be inspired. This may be proved to be as unfounded as the other. Did this love and harmony only refer to social acts, to kindness between man and man, it would certainly be a most desirable object. For, as far as the calls of society demand, or humanity can claim, so far should such an union be strongly recommended. Distress ought to mark the object, and not the sect. And if that object be worthy, or in real distress, whether churchman or dissenter, he ought to be comforted and relieved. But surely, with regard to every religious transaction, each ought to be perfectly distinct. Let the dissenter have as free and complete a toleration as possible, and an undisturbed opportunity of observing and obeying the rites and precepts of his religion; but let not the churchman contribute his means to assist the dissenter in the extension of his religion, at the hazard of supplanting his own. Whatever ideas may be afloat in the world, that all religions are to be equally encouraged, and that there are no safeguards, no protection to be granted to any one in particular, let not a churchman harbour such. It may be wise and prudent for a dissenter to adopt such sentiments, but perfectly unwise and imprudent in a churchman. The union of all sects and denominations of Christians to distribute the Word of God, has an imposing sound, and is well calculated to seduce the unwary, and to deceive the good. But, to form a complete and safe union in any scheme, it is absolutely necessary that all the consequences of such an act should certainly tend to the promotion of mutual intention and interest: and such can certainly not be said of the union here mentioned, because the purposes and interests of the various parts of it totally differ. So far then from the Bible Society producing any union, it sows widely the seeds of discord. It has already divided the national Church; and what is the spirit which animates it, may be seen by the variety of pamphlets circulated by its abettors, and by the variety of speeches made at every Auxiliary Meeting.
