Many are the tears which will water his path to the tomb; and long will his memory be cherished by the community, who yet can scarcely appreciate their loss."The following notice was issued by the Mayor. "The Rev. Dr. Henry Kollock is no more! He died last night. By the final departure of such a man, a chasm is left in the community of which he has long been a distinguished member, which will not easily be supplied. It is due to his exalted character that no evidence of respect should be omitted; but on the contrary, that more than common tokens should be offered. I therefore request that the shops be shut up, and all business suspended, that the community may thus evince how sincerely they mourn for a man who was an orna DIED at Savannah, United States, Dec. 29, 1819, aged 41, Dr. Henry Kollock, pastor of the Independent church in that city. He caught a severe cold in October 1819, and in December became seriously indisposed. He had promised to preach for a charitable Institution, and could not be prevailed upon to give it up. "I must (said he) say a few words for those poor little orphans." His prayer was sublime; his sermon impressive and excellent. But one feeling pervaded the whole of this large congregation, to see him pleading for others, with a frame and countenance so feeble, but filled with love and devotion. In the afternoon, unable to preach, he went to hear, and received a paralytic stroke in his pew. On the day of his death the Calvinistic Methodist minister and the clergyman convers ed and prayed with him. In the afternoon he requested the 31st hymn, 2d book, to be sung, Why should we start and fear to die?" It not being immediately found, he said, the 66th will do, "There is a land of pure delight," &c. and repeated the whole of it aloud. It was sung. He blessed and prayed for his two grand-children; entreatment to society, and alike distined his son and daughter-in-law, and his mourning partner, to live near the Redeemer; and closed an active The removal of his body to his and useful life by gently yielding up place of worship was attended by his soul into the hands of his cove-the greater part of the inhabitants. nant God and Saviour, without a struggle, at half-past ten in the evening. 66 On the following day the newspapers in mourning announced his death. The following is an extract from one of them. "In announcing the decease of this eminent Christian and minister, we cannot restrain the tribute of a tear: and we mingle our sorrow in common with the grief of every citizen. It is not alone the public teacher of religion, the corruscations of whose luminous mind shed light on the sacred page; it is not alone the public orator whose holy and fervid eloquence, binding like a charm the attention of his hearers, awoke the infidel from his guished for talents and for goodness.

The Mayor and Corporation, the Judges, the public officers, the gentlemen of the bar, the medical men, and the Committees of the Bible, Tract, and Sunday-school Societies, all paid an affectionate tribute to the memory of this good man, The Jews, also, as a distinct body, joined the procession, and attended all the services. His place of worship was indeed a Bochim.

Review. Antinomianism unmasked, &c. By Samuel Chase, A. M. with a Preface by the Rev. Robert Hall, A. M. CONTROVERSY about the import of Divine Revelation, respecting what are the doctrines of the Gospel, managed by professed Christians, wears an unlovely aspect, and is not unlikely to be used by superficial and sceptical persons as nearly a justification of their unbelief. But, if artful, or ignorant men will misinterpret the oracles of God, his upright and enlightened servants must, in a spirit of love, and with the light of truth, oppose the ruinous, and, to corrupted human nature, fascinating heresies of the ungodly or deluded. It is, we believe, the decided opinion of the most pious and best informed Christians of our times, that antinomianism is greatly prevalent, and that the exertions and prayers of all who love God and the souls of men should be unceasingly employed in opposition to its baneful progress. We are, therefore, happy to introduce this opportune and respectable publication to the notice of our readers. The preface has nearly all appeared in this Magazine, Sept. 1819, and contains a sufficient exposure of the dangerous, and detestable nature of Antinomianism, accounts for its lamented prevalence, and directs how it should be opposed; that preface cannot be too often read nor too deeply considered. If all who have received the virulent poison to which the work now before us is intended as an antidote, would but do this, with devout application to God for his Holy Spirit, we should expect them to be recovered from this moral plague. Mr. Chase's book is still useful and important; since it is necessary that a fountain of poisoned water which feeds numerous streamlets, should be met and stopped in every direction which it has taken, in order that, if the source cannot be Our author has divided his work "The into ten chapters. The first is on the import of the phrase, kingdom of Heaven," as used to designate the Gospel Dispensation. The second, on the analogy between the Mosaic and Christian Dispensations. The third, on the import of the term "Law," as used to do signate the Covenant of Works. The fourth, on the import of the terms "Grace" and " Truth," as used to define the peculiar character of the Gospel Dispensation. The fifth, sixth, and seventh, on the peculiarities of the Covenant of Grace. The eighth, contains a practical application of the principles advanced in the two preceding chapters. The ninth is on the last peculiarity of the Covenant of Grace, which our author has introduced. The tenth is on the real grounds of a believer's security for final Salvation. each of these subjects, Mr. Chase has written with strong sense, has duly honoured the word of God by his appeals to it, and has given much useful information. On In more than one place he has very clearly pointed out an injurious partiality for one design of the gospel, which we think some good men have indulged, and many bad ones have cherished, until another design of the gospel has been too much forgotten by the former, and almost wholly by the latter. They have too often confined" the glad tidings of salvation to the procla mation of forgiveness and reconciliation to God through the blood of the cross." But, as our author very justly remarks, the salvation of God includes" the re-establishment of God's original dominion in the hearts of the children of men." We are greatly mistaken if the so frequent practice, among what are termed evangelical preachers, of regarding the gospel as more a remedy for a lively interest in the highlands and guilty conscience than for an unholy islands of Scotland. An Appendix, heart, is not, among several others, full of interesting documents relata powerful cause of the abounding ing to that romantic region, will enof Antinomianism. We thank our gage, we trust, the attention of magracious God that he has given us any readers. We can give only a Redeemer whose blood removes all the sin of every believer; and we are not less grateful for a deliverer, whose doctrines, example, and gracious influence, are intended to liberate us from the love and reign of unrighteousness. We wish both these to be fully and constantly united. few lines from a letter written by the Rev. William Findlater. Though the attempt may not be free from every objection which ingenuity can devise, it cannot however be considered unfair to throw the onus back on objectors, and to ask them, whether indolence and apathy, and sitting still till schemes are proposed against which nothing can be urged, may not in themselves be open to objections? Recollect that old age is advancing, and some, awful consideration! perishing for lack of knowledge. Even now the brink of time are silently eating away its base; the precipice is crowded, the waves of the slip is continually falling in, and multitudes, even while we are deliberating on the expediency of affording them this instruction, are constantly dropping into eternity." We will now finish this article with Mr. Hall's character of the work before us, taken from the beginning and the end of his preface. "It is," says he, "with considerable reluctance that I have complied with the request of the highly esteemed author of the following work, by prefixing a short preface; not from the slightest hesitation respecting the excellence of the work itself, but from an aversion to the seeming arrogance of pretending to recommend what might rest so securely on its own merits. The reader, if I am not greatly mistaken, will find in this Treatise, a chain of close and cogent reasoning from the oracles of God, sufficient to overturn from its foundation the principles which compose the Anti-school." This narrative appears to nomian heresy; which, he will be at no loss to perceive, are as much opposed to the grace as to the authority of the great Head of the Church."

"As Protestant Dissenters, we recollect with peculiar Thankfulness that, conformably to the Declaration with which his late Majesty commenced his Reign, he not only maintained the Toleration inviolate, but enlarged its Protection and Benefits. "WE your Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Protestant Dissenting Ministers of the three Denominations in and about the Cities of London and Westminster, approach your Majesty with profound Respect, to express our sincere Condolence on Occasion of the Breaches made by Death in your illustrious House, and more especially on the Demise of our late venerable and beloved Sovereign, your Royal Father; as well as our cordial Congratulations on your Majesty's Accession to the Throne of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-tection and similar Benefits. tain and Ireland. "We partake of the Satisfaction which his late Majesty's Subjects in general, and his own illustrious Family in particular, must have experienced in the extended Duration of his Life and Reign: and whilst we lament the personal Affliction which during his latter Years deprived the Nation of his public Services, we bow with devout Resignation to the mysterious Will of Almighty God; and we reflect with Pleasure on the filial Attention manifested by your Majesty, and the other Branches of his Family, to his Dignity and to his Comfort during his Seclusion from the Duties and Enjoyments of social Life.

"As none of our Number were ever degraded by Hostility to the civil Government of our Country, as it is by Law established, we are per suaded that none of us will be found amongst those who profane Religion, deride the Holy Scripture, and diminish the Influence of sacred Subjects on the Minds of the People; but that it will be our uniform Solicitude and Endeavour to manifest and to inculcate a due Regard to Religion, to the Constitution and "Thus avowing our Principles and Conduct, we humbly solicit, and feel confident of enjoying your Majesty's Protection and Favour.

On which the King replied with ardour, "By no means-So excellent an Address, and so well delivered-I am highly gratified"and continued to present his hand till the whole Body had received the same honour. To the Chairman he condescendingly intimated bis satisfaction on seeing him present on the occasion, and more particularly as he was given to understand that he had accompanied the Address when his late Father had ascended to the Throne. And as the Body were retiring, he was heard to say to the surrounding nobility, "This Address came home to the feelings of every person who heard it, and more particularly to my own," (laying his Before the admission of the Body, the Address of the Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London had been received by the King, and it had been intimated to the members not to withdraw from the Palace before his Majesty should retire to his private apartments.

When they had received their answer, the King descended from the Throne, and retired through the State Apartments; the members of the different bodies who had presented their Addresses forming a passage for him.

As a very few only of other bodies, who had presented Addresses, had been permitted to kiss the King's hand, owing to his late severe illness, the Secretary, to prevent any confusion or disappointment, intimated that the same arrangement might be followed on the presenting him on that day. occasion.
