Unitsrians aro heldto be an un- belloving, unepiritual, and worldly people, but littlo better than infldols, anda groat deal moro dangerous to the Christian cause. ‘Thiy low opinion of our doctrines and motivo genorally eprings from wilful ignoranoe and blind proju- dico, It would boa thankless tas, thorofore, to attempt to chenge it by argument or disproof, ‘Tho best courso for us to pursuo Ia to go our own way 04 uprightly and charitaliy aa we can, and lo trust that time and» better acquaintance will correct all auch wngonerous ead mistaken opinions about us, But oyon when thia projudico bas beon modi- fied by closor coutact and a botter understanding: oftour purposo and worl, wo are often trestod with patronizing pity, or it ia juquired of ue, with amild wonderment: “ow can auch good poo- plo as you aro bo Unitariany?” Tt is unnecescary to reply to such # question as this, for it really contains far moro of pralgo than of condomnation, It iy » practical ao- knowledyment on tho part of our puzzled critica that porgonal rightoousnces lisa no nocossary connection with orthodoxy of belicf, It implied~ ly confirma the Unitarian position that life is more than thought: that {ti botter tohave a puro charactor than to hold correct opinions, for the Unitarian Jays no stress on tho profes- sion of religious bolief; he points to no long roll of convorts added to tho truo faith; ho taxes no pleasure iu showy cccleelasticlem or church oxtonsion; his pride ts rather 1m the cul- tured minds, the wolfrounded characters, tho gracious lives, the notablo oxamploa of bu- mauity, philanthropy, and picty which lis form of faith contributes to illustrate the porfections audto awoll the trumpha of Christianity, ‘herofora he ranka boeiny frst, doing wecoud, aud boiloving laut in the weale of roligious morit, aud when the common objection is brought against him, *Unitarians aro good people, but they do not beliayve anything, aud therefore cau- notbo Christiaus," he romombers that it was By tholr fruits ye shall jew thems" and, agai, ‘Not every one that anith unto me. ‘Tord, Lord,’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Hoaven; bnt he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in Heaven.” There is, however, a large and increasing num- ber of persona who, laying aside all preposscs- sion and self-rightcouwncss, como as simple seekers after the truth, and inquire of us, lika the Jows, at Rome, of Paul, * Wo desire to hear of thoo what thou thinkest 7” Such aqueation wo aro always ready to an- swerin the samo spirit in which it is aaked. For, nichough ve make righteousnony of lifo and the upbuilding of personal character our ideal aims, yet thoro is nothing in thin that pro- cludes bollef, or nogatives the holding of well- defined opinions on religions subjects. On the contrary, wo boliove that faith tnust andoriie all genuine effort; that a faithtees life is a weak and worthless one. So too doctrines sre neces- sary, for doctrines aro in religion what principles aro in morality, fixod points around which the spiritnat life of'man revolves, And yet wecannotanawortha question, “What thinkost thou?” by poiuting to an authoritative and all-aufficiont crood. For itis the distinctive feature of Uuitsrianinm thatithosa no such creed, We can ano no possible good, but muck positive evil, reaulting from auch storoutyped and infall- bio sormulas of belief, Wo beliove thats creed hinders the davolopmont and olliciency of reli- plous truth, that It lerda to insincority, montal eluggivhtiery and hypocriay on the part of those who profess it, tuat it fosters occlerinsticel pride and power, and in the foithful mother of uncharity, seetarianiem, {utal- erance, and persecution, And wo find that we can beliove ay much and as intensely, pray os devoutly, end Jive as nubly, a8 our brothers who bave sworn alleginuce to a creed. For faith is one thing, acrced is auother, Faith is a etate of tho mind. A creed ia netatenont of the mind. The former is the epirit which givoth life, the latter is too offen the letter which killeth. Tho tirst condition of ail geuuine foith is abrolute freedom to inqnira and to oxer- cleo tha richt aud duty of private judgment. In this the Unitarians are the Protestants of tho Protestanta, Said Channing: “If I havo fouod life an incrosking fos if 1 bave in any menusuro succeeded in enlarging my own mind, if I bave risen to any geuctous views of tho Christian roligion or homau nature, 1 owe this happiness, nuaer God, chiefly to the intollectual freedom which Ibave enjoyed. ‘This lias been to mo the breath of lifo, and I must vindicate it for others ss well a8 for myzelf,” ‘This noble passage woll expresses the working principio of the Unitarian Church, Ench one of us examines, and thivks, and speais a4 he will iu religious matters, Vor bis belief and his ut- torance he is responaible ouly to bis own soul and to God. Tor Unitarianiem is ‘not o tho- ology; itis's collection of theoligios " with moro or leas affinity—ufiicient to permit of intel- Jectual sympathy aud moral union for practical work, Since great uncertainty must alvaya at tend the thinking of finite, fallible minds, wo bo- lieve that God hold no one reaponsiblo for the actual attainmont of Divino knowledge, but oniy for the serious search after it, or, 1s Chanuing expressed it, wo aro respousiblo not for tho rightness, but tho uprightuess, of our peisouul opinions, In tho second place, we do not believe that s creed is oven necessary for devominational fel- lowabip or united effort. It may bo a conven- fence iu building up » largo eect, in simplifying the technical operations of convereion, in maintaining tho authority of tho priest. hood. But we hove no atch objects. We put our faith in ideas and ideals. Wo worl for the devolopmont of Christian truth, and its application to the life of taan, ‘Che Church, the priesthood, the etated worabip, aro only auxili- aricy and instrumontalitics, ‘Ibercforo we ind it aufticient to nuite on corinin dietinctive work- ing methods instead of a crecd, aud to demand nut intollectual agroemeut, but a common moral purpose as our basis of union. As James Marti- neau says, the first coudition of our followship ja ‘to havo a foarlens respect for intellectual froo- dom, and to trust the bonds of pioty, righteous- news, nod love amidet largo,rariaties of thougnt.” But if we have no wfalliblo and binding creed, wo novertholeas rojoicc to find that thera 1s sup~ utuntinl agreement among us on the cardinal points of our religious belief, and thua we ara enabled to unite from timo to timo in mapy glorious aflirmations concorning man's nature, duty, destiny, and his relations = with the Divine, Such s statement I desire to mate thiy morning, simply prowising that, from want of timo, Lean only speak of fundamentals in doctrine, and that, whatever I may say, I alone sm reeponsibio for. Tehall try todo justice to the various shades of opinion in our body; it is, however, possiblothat my own advanced views may iusensibly color my atatemont of tho Uni- tarian faith, First—In tho first place, then, wo beileve in Noligion,—in_ the oxistenco, permanence, ant importance of the religious sentiment. Wo hold that man ia, by natural coustitution, a roligiaus being, and finds it e moral necossity to exprcas his wonder, awo, veneration, and love, in tho forms and offices of worship, | ‘Tua researches of the scientist may coincide with tho testimony of Christian mivsionarios in informing ns that there aro savage peoples, entirely destitute of religious ideas and practices, yot this no moro disprovea. tho oxistonco and universality of roligion than tho instinct-gov- cerned infant or tho ovcasional idiot dinproves the distribution of intellectual gifts among mon. Buch excoptionsl inutauces merely show that the religious eentiment in not always active; that it requires cortain antocedents to mauifcet itself, Itis always found in civilized society. “Whore humanity ia atite bighcat, there religion in at ite highest alvo.” Consider tho natious and tho names, the ovents and tho ideas, most note- worthy in human society, and you will tind thom intimately, insoparably connected with the hiia- tory of roligions devolopment. As Govtho said: ‘Tho ono, roal undorlying thomo in the history of tho world, to which all other questions aro sub ordinate, ia the contlict botwoen faith and un- faith.” Therefore wo seo in tho religious souti~ meut no crude emotion, uo polite concossiou to man's weakuess, no porishable auperstition, bie the motive powor of humanity, tho radical force of society, the omancipator and inspirer of tho individual soul. Religion eas pro- duced tho loftiess typoa of character, ant inspirod tha nobleet deeds of heroism and solf-sacrifles tho race haa over known. And oven when misdircoted and distorted by tho uu- enlightened reason, the solfish payxions of nian- Laue, in ita very degradation, tt still romning an inprossive witness to the mighty forcos that sro lodged in the spiritual constitution of man. So though its outward forms ore changing from day to day, though past sanctions uo louger hola their powor, and creeds and churches crumble into rnin, the religious ventiment ro- wmaina tho primary interest of bomau life,—a tegonerative, redemptlyo force that liftas man out of apnotite und sense and passion mtu like- nos with tho Divino, » Second—And, in the second place, wo believe in Christianity aa. tho purest aud best form of religion, Not in this or that existing statement ofit. Not in tho Christianity of tho Apostolic Church, with ita admixturoof Jewish narrowuers and Pagau superstition. Not im the scholastic Christinuity of tho Middlo Agee, which sacriticod truth to metaphysics, and love to logic. Not in tho Christianity of Luther, or Calvin, or Johna- thea Edwards, or of Chanuing oy But wo beliove in the Christianity of Christ, Penetrat- ing beneath the assertions with which cightecn conturies of speculative fancy and ccclenissticat developmout Tave overlaid lls Gospel, wo dix: cover in tho toachings aud Glospal uf Jeaua of Nazareth the way, tho truth, tuo life. ‘hia Chriutisnity wo accopt ag altogother tha highest and beet revolation of ‘roligious truth tho world las known, Where {t fails to oulfghton us on points of doctrine or of duty, we haya roconrso to the ever-present spirit of God which bofora andasinco tha adyont of Christ has imparted itself to tho reason, tho coneciouce, aud tho aoa) of man to loud him into all truth. Taird—And this beliof in tho Curistion roligion implies ‘an accoptance of its frat and fundamen. tal truth, tho oxistenoe and perfect charactor of God, But hore again we must discriminate, For ovory great attirmation holds 9 doisial in Sts bosom. Wo do not bollave ta the God of Abrahsm and Jacob, who lu in parts aud passions like untamen, who dosconds to oarth to hold familiar intercourse with His creatures, anil is not above partaking of « dish of mutton with the patriarch, Our Cod is no artial rulor, who solocts here av tudividual and hore a peopte for Is partteular favors, and casts off their fellows from Its gracious proviee ton. No, nor & childish God, who creates the world in six daya, rosts on the savonth, ropenta Him of having mado u:an, and constantly iutor- forus in the working of tho uulversa to supple~ ment Hie original plan by oo alter-thought, Nor do wo balleve in the God of tha Catkoliw, whom tha priest can create and control in tho conse- crated yale § nor yet in the Soverolgn Doity of tho Calvinist,—that mystical, mythical belng, with three distinct and cjual natures, and yor bit one personality, who selfishly crontes man for His own glory, capriciously prodostines him to a career of happinoss or of winery, and pursues him vindictiyely throughout all eternity for slow which he nevor committed or alse could not help committing, Wo do not believe in a God aver, but in God, Who shall attempt to detine iim?

It seoma nocersary to eay that the {den of oternal punishmont wo reject root aud branch as derogatory to tho ‘character af God and unfair to man, As wo believe in human reaponribility, Lowover, it follows that wo believe in the diving rettibution. But wo dis like to think of cither reward or puniehment in conusction with moral action. We beliove that he who dooth wrong #hall suffer for the wrong he dooth, and overy ouo shalt receive for the things done in bie body, ba they good or evil." All such retribution, howover, is disciplinary and reinedial in itu character, and will bo followed by in the sonl of mus.

Wis will is tho Ifo, His perfect intelligence is tho tas, Lastly, wo believe in tho rovelation of the Bible. “Notin the old senso, howorer, Wodu not hold it ns n fetist, ay a literally inspired, 1u- fallibto oracls of God. Wo diecriminate botweon what ispermanont aud what is transient, between what ts valuablo and what is indifferent in the Scriptures, Wo aistinguinh that which is universal and spiritual, from tuat which in duo to the ago aud personality of tho writer, Wo refuso to be- lievo in the Divine origin of ‘tha preseut canon, or In the equal vatuv of the different books, We subject the B:blo tu tha test of reason and con- ecleuce, and apply to it tho same Jaws of literary yalne which govern other bouks., Wo do not o2- cept any crude ideas of the origin and govern- ment of tho world, or of tho charactor of tho Deity, simply becausa wo find thom in the Hible. Wo cannot beliove that the reading of tho droary chronicte of Hobrow wars, or the dry details of tho Lovitical Inv, is promotive of spiritual edi- fiestion, Nor can wo hold that a Hobrew love poem, like tho **Song of Solomon,” or that tho fantastical and fanaticn! Book of Rovelation ia of equal inupiration with tho Paalma of Davi and tho Sermon'ou the Soupt. In brief, weds not boliove a thing to bo true slmply beeause it is in tho Bible, but wo rather boliovo that it ts in tho Biblo becauwo it is true. And whon this process of critlersm ia ouded, what results hayo wo arrivod at? Why, tio Hi- hilo iv still the book of books tous. Wobellove that it containa tho highest, deopest thoughts concerning mon’s relations with tho inti around, aud the mystery within him, Wo 1 in it tho most fervent utterances of faith, tho highest aspirations, tho swecteot sentiments, tha most subline hopes, Whore olso can wo find such hymus of praivo, such proverbs of wisdoin, such ipterprotations of moral law ond devont readings of Provideneo, And what sketchen of saintly character, what narratives of holy livea, what practical leesona in ploty doce nat the Bibl presont tous, ‘Truly, it is our manunnl of doyo- tion, our troasury of moral anil rolusious tus struction, our unfailing source of spiritual nour- whment. Every raco hos ita Bible, and all Scripture is given by inspiration. Lut, little as wo know ag vot concerning tho ethnic Scripturos—tho Vedas, Yondavent, Shu King, or Koran—wo know enon to sco that tho Jowish and Christian Scriptures aro infinitely wuperlor to them in moral, and religiony and literary valuo, and this beesuse they tlowed from & higher coucoption of God aud man and homan iluty, and out of » nearer con- yerso with the divine. Sixth—I proceed to say that the Unitarian bo- Novos in Jesus Christ. “ Any dotinition of this noint of belief is attendad with more or Ices dif- deulty, for on no articio of faith aro tho opinions Fo varying among us. To uso onco moro tho method of negation in order to emphasize our distinction from thor Christian belieyery, wo do not believe in tho Jowish Mevslah of tho Now Yentament who iu to roturuin tho cloudy, at- tonded by troops of anjola; at whose appoar= ca tho sun und moon will lova thelr lustre, tho asters fall from heaven, and tho graves give up their dead. Ner do wo Deliove in tho Christ of tha Church, that cecleeisatical doll which has wo long sored eu a Iny figure for tho trappings and shows of tho liturgy, and lout tha guuction of ils vame to uphold tho snthority and pretoneo of tho prlosthood.
