We have inserted below an article from the pen of S. A. Davis, Editor of "The Glad Tidings, and Ohio Christian Telescope," a Universalist publication printed at Pittsburgh, Pa.

We have done so, not because we were honored with a visit from him and his associates, not because they gave us any new light on the gospel, for as he very carefully observed he was as far from believing our religion as he ever was, we can truly reiterate the same sentiment with regard to his, but because we consider him a gentleman, and pays that respect to our feelings, our character and our religion that entitles him to acts of kindness and reciprocity from us.

We believe the gentleman must be mistaken if he has imbibed an idea that we consider the kingdom of heaven will be composed of real estate, houses or lands, flocks or herds. There may be, and indeed we fully believe there is, an undue attachment in some of the saints to amass wealth and heap up perishable treasure. We have only to say, we deprecate such a propensity, and most heartily wish we were the only order of professors, who by their conduct exhibit any thing of that nature. In short we disclaim and disavow any and all definitions of the kingdom of God, except as Paul explained it to his Roman brethren, saying it consisted in righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Finally, we consider it due to Mr. Davis, to his associates, and to ourselves, to say that we consider them gentlemen, of liberal minds, of correct republican principles, evincing by their conduct here, and the article we have copied from their paper, their willingness that we, and all others, should believe as we please, and worship God agreeably to the dictates of our own consciences.
