Unitarian Association of the State of New York. ‘At the somi-anneal meeting of this society, held at Rev. Mr, Bellows’s Church, Broadway Bey. & K. Laruner preached from Matthew, ehap. x, yer. §, “Freely ye have reevived, freely give.” This was Christ's advio) to his dise!ples—an appeal from God’s fayor to man’s duty. The gospel was a great gift of God. Look at wbat it bad done, Look at its jefluence upon tke Christian world. It was true, that the chureh was not what it might and ought to be; Duisstill » great work had been aceomplished. Let them follow to their souree the blessings they enjoyed —the moral and religious feeling that elevated the motives of human action, and gave man noble aims. What did this? The gospel, the Bible. Why did they not offer their little oncs? why not prostrate them- selves before the idols that the grosser vices had en- throned? Why were they not priest-ridden ? why were wot fetters on their consciences, and their ‘minds Kept in the darkness of superstition? Because the spel had brought life and immortality to light. Why ere they not groaning under despotism? Because the Bible was the charter of freedom—it found a world of slaver—it made a world of freemen, The chapter was not yet written in history that titly told all the obliga- tions civil and religious liberty owed to the Bible, And here he could not help remarking that through their zace, through the non-conformists, more of the truths of the gospel, and more of human freedom given to the world than by any other men, The great Dr. Arnold,who ‘was the ornainent ot his country and ot his religion, had said ef the church, by law established, that it had ever borne the marks of regal and aristocratic selfishness, The dissenters from that ehurch were the source whenee originated American and English liberty. They had laid the foundations of institutions, simple but Deautiful, that were destined to intluenee ages and ge- nerations yet unborn, ‘They could searcely find a me- morial of & check to eorruption, an impulse to improve- ment, or a banner floating in the breeve of freedom, ‘tbat could not be traced back to their pilgrim fathers. ‘There do the friends of humanity ever turn when they Want togive authority te a principle or make ity a tion effectual.

Suppose Christ were present among them that evening, with his searching eye scrutinizing every heart, would he call them all around him, as having his Lineage and being of his kindred? Would he not be compelled to reject and disown some of them as unre- enerate and wnsanctified souls? Would he not see ere youth going forth to battle with the world without the armer of God, without the shield of faith, the breast- plate ot righteousness, or the sword of the spirit? ‘Would he not see women among them caring for any- thing and everything but the one thing needful ? Would he not see the aged still clinging to the earth, as if it were their final resting-place, and forming projects upon projects, asif they would never die? And were the sume great witness to pass from thence to their laces of business or their residences, how many fami- Tee would he find without s morning oF an eve ing sacrifice—not recognising him once in the entire day! How many would he find pursuing pleasure or gain, as if it were the only object for which they lived, moved, or had their being! ‘The power of the gospel to purify, elevate, and bless the souls ofimen, had never yet been fully experienced in the world, because it had never been fully applied to the conscience; and the reason was, that men did not yet sce the eonnection between ite great principles and the mall duties of life. A great writer had asked, who did not wonder at the little insects that could sting a giant mind to madness? How true! The man who had succeeded in conquering worlds, had ‘one little enemy in his own breast which he did nos eonquer, and that made him a miserable slave.

It was their duty to send the gospel to dis- tant lands. This was not an age of miracles, and Giod demanded from them generous appropriations and per- severing efforts, Jesus poured out his blood like water for them, and would they make him no corresponding the altar e? No, if they be true Christians, they must aid in every aeheme for its advancement, as they have ability ing its effect upon themee! return? "Would they sacritice his gospel u Of their avarice, convenience, or indiffu and opportunity, But the’ way in which | most ood can be done, is, by a living example of oliness, which is better than any gift of money, or any organized effort to propagate the Gospel—such @ man is a living law, and docs more for truth, for vir- tue, than the greatest in mere intellect, than the highest in mere station, the richest in mere wealth, They had given a large amount of mone: nd he Diested God for it, But there was something higher and better they could give. Suppose they emulated the faith and the spirit of piety that filled the first disciples, who counted it all joy to offer up their lives for Christ's sake. Suppose they said, day by day, “Lord, what wouldst thou have ‘us to do?’ Suppose that in every scene, under all cireumstances, and all the relations of life, their fellow-citizens beheld fn them the likeness of their Saviour, too pure to be seorned, and too beautiful to be neglected. Would there not go forth from them all a mighty power for good—mighty, in proportion as their daily lives and character corresponded with the gospel and life and character of Christ? This was the great thing to be aimed at by his followers. ‘This was the great remedy for all defects of a denominational kind. They must quicken the germ within them till it developed a newer and higher exhibition of Christian character—religion enthroned as @ sovereign ruler over every thought and feeling, andaction. Socialism and Fourierism, in their blind gropings, were aiming at the reformation of the world. ‘Their intentions and aspirations were glo- rious, but their means were not adequate to the end. ‘True Christianity alone could achieve the subjection Of the world to its influence, Im order that this may be accomplished, the world must see the fruits of re- ligion in the lives of its professors; and Unitarians, whore boust it was that their faitfP was eminently ractical, ax well as simple, unrestricted as they were dark and deadening views of God, ought to set an exumple to all other Christians, and to the world, of the pure and holy «pirit of the glorious gospel. The rervice having been concluded by prayer and epee Cook, Esq., being appointed Chairman, the meeting was called to order. Rey. Mr. Best.ows then rose to address the assembly, and raid it was extremely agreeable to him to follow out the train of thought that had just emanated from ‘that alpit. In hearing his brother magnifying the gospel, the thought continually pressed upon him, ‘whether there were not many ameng them that knew not what he meant by tho gospel, and whether they did not wish to know it, in order that they might din charge the responsibility they felt weighing upon them, and give to others what they had so trevly recei ‘The Unitarian Association of the State of New Vork had taken advantage of the presence in this city of their brethren from the East, to warm their hearts by eonference, and to consult tegether as to the best means of advancing their common cause, He then submitted the resolutions to the meeting which we publithed in Thursday’s Herald. Rey. Mr Dewey, being called on by the chairman, said—He had a feeling almost of oppression in con- templating a series of resolutions containing such an immensity of matter; but, after all, they pressed and concentrated to one single point—that point in his brother's eloquent discourse this evening which in- terested and impressed him more than any other—the application of this same gospel, of which he had spoken #0 much, to the vital welfare of the human mind, It was the grand peculiarity of the Unitarian religion, that it operated for the production of that effect in a Manver singular, without parallel, without precedent. Hie might be wrong in this, but it had pressed upon hhis mind for some time past. With the views that they ‘ained, they might propagate the gospel with ® power that no other Christian sect could attain to Let them look at the past history of the world, and see what hindrances rtood in the way of the operation of truth; bare and naked, upon the human soul, First, there were the ages when the ritual stood between the soul and ite welfare. In after times, states of mind, conditions of faith, acquiescence in creeds, stood be. tween the simple moral truth of the gospel and the effect to be produced on the mind, How was it now? Much had beon brushed away from the path, but there was much still to contend with. There were two systems in operation. One that raid to the seeker after everlasting pee that it came to him only through imputed righteousness; the other that id it could omly come through yirtué wrought in him, These were surely different things He thought there was, therefore, an antagonism be- ‘tween them and their other Christian brethren, and ¢ between them was ¢) ; But placing the go-pel on the simp! ba- were all astonished commotion in the old j and the masses feeling had ; but unless each individual felt his own accountability—unless the gospel of Christ was the rule and measure of action, all could only end in deeper and darker despotism than ever. He should take but a very limited view of thy Christian religion, if he confined its influence to the various aspects of to the indiyidual—to his d entand everlasting happi- ness. Without the abiding presence of the spirit of the gospel, temptation would overthrow the best resolutions. The law of the land was not sufiicient ‘to restrain vice ; it took cognizance of but few crimes, and prevented none Impulse would not do, for it led as often to what was wrong, as what was right. It was the gospel of Christ alone, that could lead to happiness, a es of fortune—it raised of want, and gave them the exalted idea that the God of the universe was their served the weak from desponding, and the strong trom relying on their own strength. Go to the rich man and ask him the source of his happiness, — He wiil tell you, if he is a child of God, that it is not his wealth, but his hope in Christ. Go to the states- man, whose name is on every topgue—the man who can control empires—and he will tell you that it ia not , nor luxury, but the grace of God, that makes him happy, sanctiifying his affections and rection to his efforts. Let them go to and it may be of death, as he lately went to it, and she weuld teil them of strains of seraphic melody, ot joy unspeakable but that it ought to be kept in the background, apart from the busy on. It would be de- by profane familiarity, or by ap- plying it to every little mean trifle. Now this a man’s life was made up of little things ; and what God asked and man’s happiness de- manded, was, the consecration of body and soul to him —doing right and feeling right in relation to all per- gone, in all places, and in all things. This required faith—required the application of the highest principles nest thoughts of the humblest mind and the smallest acts of every in- of experience and common sense—the basis on which Sil othe? eutture was placed—the Uniterians had an immense power in their hands. When he said toevery seul, “ just so good as you are, just #0 just @o pure, just so well will it be with you,” he said all that mortal eould say upon the subject. He did not wish to detain them; but it eared tohim that Chris- tians were guilty of the hi aest degree of irrationalism, folly, and stupidity, im reference to the self-; rifying application of the gospel. Look at the man who wishes to make a fortune the world. Mark his activity, his zeal, his recklessness of everything but his object. In his practical conduct you will see the application of a principle to all the d taile—shrewd and sharp. he will leave nothing undot he is determined not to be befooled, But in spiritual re matters, how were they befooled? Their wel ended not on gold from California, but on gettiug and ping up intheir bosoms the pure gold of sanctity and,virtue—to walk continually as in the presence of God, There was no shufiiing in this matter. It could not be done by imputation. Jt must be a reality or nothing. There was a mercy in the gospel that pardoned ast epoca age, but it did not palter with future Transgrocal here was the Christian that was pur- suing this with the practical energy, the sharp-sceing vision, that characterized the merchant and the man of the world? How true were the words of inspiration, “ The children of this world are wiser in their genera- tion than the children of light.” Roy. Mr. Oscoon, pastor elect of the Church of the Messiah. was next called on by theChairman. He sffid, one of the resolutions stated that “the anuals of civil and religious history were full of proofs of the pewer of a judicious and earnest minority.” Whatever might nd earnest,” they might, at all events, take the credit of being in the “minority,” If multitude were made a test of truth, dency. But, for his part, he felt it more encouraging that they were called to take a manly stand among the few. His- tory furnished them with many examples of the power of a fow, Where, for instance, was Chris- tianity in the early times, when the myriads were interested in the laws of pagan Rome—the learned, the men of genius, feasting in the halls of heathen Kings? Where was then the antagonist power? Just think of that upper room, where the majestic presence of Christ presided over twelve!

Rey, Dr. Parkaan having been called on by the chair- id he had not intended to «peak, for he feared ect of that pious discourse he bad heard might be impaired, and he had been of opinion that it would be better toretire at its conclusion, and allow the im- pression it had made to rest upon their minds, But when he heard the resolutions, he felt how much im- portant matter might be grafted on that excellent ad- dress, He rejoiced that the solemn performance of duty growing out ofprivilege was becoming every day more and more a deeper eentiment in the hearts of Unitarians. They had been told im the text that as they had freely received they ought to freely give. There was one way in which they could give to best . and he wished to direct their attention to “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are .) ‘They had ail felt that every day the laborers in the Unitarian field were kecoming fewer and fewer. Nor was this confined to their body. ‘The complaint had been made in reference to every other Christian denomination ; and there eould be no doubt that the number of promising young men who might look to the other walks of life with way, therefore, in which they could more contribute tothe advancement of the gospel, th toa greater degree of happiness, under God’s blessing. rejoiced to her i and that there w: tree, none daring to make him afraid.” unprepared to speak, as it was not his in any thing, but rather to listen to those gave bis “a askance, and the world turned its back upon them? gion was no fear of their prosperity. and greater efforts than they had yet made. They ought not to draw any argument for despondency from the times, either as regarded their country or their particular denomination, No human being had a right to distrust. Let them lift their eyes, and look at the spangled heavens, and say if they could doubt the promises of Him who created these worlds? How couid they tell what progress the Gospel would yet make? The world was a brighter and better world than when the morning stars sang for joy at ity creation, He knew no way of accounting for acets, except that each had its peculiar mission, and could fulfl it better than any ot better than if there was « pe one must far as any one sect had ndvane et uniformity, Any eburch uni real that they saw the promises of Christ ren! babi God—recond, the brotherhood of man—and third, that character is salvation.
