The Rev. Robert Collyer hiad found fault with the showing of some of tha Unitarinn churches ; ho stated that very few of our ministors had back-bone enough to talk to their congregations on finaucial matters, and did not show tho proper onorgy and spirit in their work, end the result was that many of tho churches were costing money to the Con- femx:mo without doing their proportion of the work, Mr, Hunting, in reply " MADE A VIOLENT PERSONAL ATTAOK on Mr. Collyer, stating that if he, Collyer, would do his share siding these ~ churchos ho __tall much about, and by =& well-put-in speech, brace up the intorests wherevor ~ they were soen to be declin ing, there would mot be this state of affairs to complain of. The tonor of tho attack was that Mr. Collyer was noglect- ful of his duties, snd showed s 8pirit of solllsh- noss in his ofticial conduct. Mr. Collyor arose on a quostion of special priv- ilego, and stated that, in oxplanation of what hiad been construed by Hunting =8 neglect on his part, he would say that his church had been burmed ' out in tho Tire, nud it re- quired all his efforts to got it agnin in a condition of prosperity. If ho attempted to lend bhis influence by precopt to overy congregation which he desircd to nssist TZ WOULD UAVE NO TINE to dovote to his own flock. Again, ho had worked for other congregations by preaching wherever he could aunur; last wintor, -and had, by this means, _raisod sbout 8700 for outside churchos. Ho sald tho attack of the Ttev. Mr. Hunting was wholly uncalled for, and Lo would say somothing which be didn't want to say, which was that, while Brother Hunting had charge of tho Unitarian Church at Indisunapolis, it had LOST FULLY ONE-UALY IT8 BTRENGTH, Mr. Hunting nrose to leave the houso after this lnst onslaught, but was dotained by the Rev. Mr, Hoywood, who made s concilintory Bpeach, emoothing over the affair in an excolleut offort, which brought téats into thoeyes of many of those present, aftor which " the Rov, Mr, Collyer arose, and sald that he iwas leartjly sorry for the unfortunate words which bad m{eu from his lips; that it was one of thoso unfértunate moments whon tho devil bad kim, aud whon the devil triumphed; that Brother saion of the 80 Ifuntng had on thico other occasions takon occasion to aitack him, and the temptation this nme wna greater than bo could withstaud. Mr. Collyer thien pro- caodod down tho uisle, and extonded his hand to tho Reyv, 8lr.
