On a matter of yet deeper interest, I do not feel authorized to speak for him, but I think that as he grew older, his hold upon anything like a creed weakened, though he remained of the Unitarian philosophy concerning Christ. He did not latterly go to church, I believe; but then, very few of his circle were church-goers.
"Why, what church does he belong to?" "He doesn't belong to any, my dear," said Mrs. Halleck, sorrowfully. Marcia looked at her absently. "I knew Olive was a Unitarian; but I thought I thought he " "No, he doesn't," returned Mrs. Halleck. "It has been a great cross to his father and me. He is a good boy; but we think the truth is in our church!" Marcia was silent a moment.
Meanwhile the enterprise was considered an unspeakable folly, or worse, by the conservative circle of Boston. In Boston, where a very large part of the 'leaders' of society in every way were Unitarians, Unitarian conservatism was peremptory and austere. The entire circle of which Mr.
It is about half-way up." "We don't go to church," said Rachel, facing him. "At least, I don't." She looked at her companion. "And I can't be counted on," said Janet, smiling. The vicar flushed a little. "Then you're not Church of England?" "I am," said Rachel indifferently; "at least I'm not anything else. Miss Leighton is a Unitarian."
I told him very briefly a few of my doctrinal difficulties; to which he replied, "Ashley, you are a Unitarian." I thought but little of it. I was not really interested in churches any more anyway.

As a Dissenter, subject to the operation of the Corporation and Test Acts, and as a Unitarian excluded from the benefit of the Toleration Act, it is not surprising to find that Priestley had very definite opinions about Ecclesiastical Establishments; the only wonder is that these opinions were so moderate as the following passages show them to have been:

"Well," said he, "here is what I mean: the Unitarian thinks he is too good to be damned, and the Universalist thinks God is too good to damn him, and I believe them both." What is the next thing in this great creed?
It was warmly applauded at many points, and after again scattering a number of printed copies, the delegation descended from the platform and hastened to the convention of the National Association. A meeting had been appointed at 12 o'clock, in the First Unitarian church, where Rev. William H. Furness preached for fifty years, but whose pulpit was then filled by Joseph May, a son of Rev.

Would that it were possible to organize the Unitarian Church of America, to take this great cause out of the hands of speculative dispute, and to put it on the basis of a working institution.
"And he has saved me the trouble of reading more. Now what are the inferences to which you object?" Hodder stated them.
