Do YOUR OWN THINKING.-The extract

man. Read and ponder:
"We believe in no authority, no author
-ity whatever, neither in Protestant author
ity nor Catholic authority, in matters Of
conscience. @
II is this which has done the mischief in
The world--this attempt Of one man or Sc,
Of men to describe aud define the opinions
or sentiments Of the mind. II is enough
that society or the state should take cogni-
zance of my actions, and punish or reward
me according to my doings--bat my opin-
ions, and your opinions, should be subject
10 no control, they should be free, us un-
trammeled as the winds Of Heayen--let
them blow where they list--you have no
right your church authority, your creeds,
YOUR confessions and your disciplines are
usurpations. as',FY s~e@
High above all this, pure as the unsul-
lied stars, is the mind and conscience Of a
man, and he will, il you but let him alone,
know and find out the truth. And if you,
yeteachers of old dead formulas, dogmas,
hair-splitting subtleties and speculations.
would descend from your assumed, exalted
and false position Of taking from Heaven
and handing down to Us, and humble and
meek, unite with US in the search for truth,
as felIow-laborers, and only aim 10 cnlight
en- us, improve us and yourselves in real
knowledge and understanding, and in the
great and glorious principles Of practical
duty, benevolence and good will towards
each other, it would be very much better.
Difference Of opinion is Of no Importance.
Our minds are constructed as our faces, and
it is an insane attempt to reduce them all
to the same standard"
