JaHuary LIST, 1851.
Sunday was the day Of general reckoning in this
world. We had an opportunity OF witnessing the
settlement and it went on most satisfactorily.
Having dined at one o'clock, it was announced
Afterwards, that the Rev. w. III. Charming would
lecture in the dining hall at three P. M.
We were punctual to the hour. rs were also all
the inmates table was placed at the end of the
dining hall, and in few minutes the Secretary,
Mr.. Sears, came forward and introduced Mr. Chan
ming, observing, at the same time, sthat it was
necessary, regarded the residents, to whom that
gentleman was so well and favorably known, and by
whom he was SO much esteemed
Mr.. Charming said;-Ladies and gentlemen, in
entering upon this subject, it is my intention to
attempt, in a brief manner, to get a view of the
great, and high, and holy cause in which we are
engaged. In order to do this the clearly, in
tend to address myself to you upon the subject of
Christian association, and justify this union the
very germ of true Christianity. Some persons, my
friends doubt in Christianity and disbelieve it,
but after years of study and investigation, have
rived at the conclusion that man. by placing himself
in spiritual communion with God in association of
fatenal love, gives expression to Christianity pure
and undefed. l believe there is an evident mani
festation Of Christian life in socialist life, and
ask you to put yourselves in sympathy with me on
the subject. Christ himself was critical person,
and his words, his actions prove him so. He came
at critical PERIOD and the evidences of his birth,
his coming as q mediator. and his death, show
thai he intended that man should study and if pos
sible know, the unity of relation which exists be-
tween the physical and spiritual world The
unity of the hierarchy still remains, and will
not die until its spirit is diG'nsed to all
BE- but heas s Of ys R ana T there
unity of creeds and unity ofchurches; but the unity
ofcreeds and the unity of churches are not sufficient
to enlighten man on natural and spiritual union;
and this unity is the spirit of divine love, which,
when fully embodied in mans every day relations
Of life, will extnguish forms Of creed and church,
and reveal Christianity in its true light. In this
unity there is full knowledge of Ood-mild, bene-
fcent, and absoute-and, by examining his life you
of love, then, comes from God himself; and mean
to contend, by rule ofinfexible logic, that it must
be the essence OF true religion And ! say
try and art, win raise themselves to the
highest state of spiritual communion; and
that the history Of such race involves
an organization tor industry and politics. The
great problem of human life is to perfect so as
has given example by his church, that perfect
spiritual and political organization are the only
means for man to attain that happiness by. 1t is
the problem which socialists have to work out it
is their duty here to form Christian associations of
this sort all over Christendom, binding man to
man in unity, az it were marriage unity Politi-
clans may be adverse, and churchmen may say that
we have nothing to do with bringing men to God
but answer the latter by saying, that God made
10 unclean thing, and that he can do no more than
bring the spirit of religion to bear al the com
mon relations OF te as to ensure mans happiness
Others again, say that it is impossible for body of
men and women to live together, organize, arrange
and propagate their ideas, to convince the rest
If mankind Of this but Jesus Christ was a man Of
his word, and every man and woman who undertakes
this work is q manifestation of Jesus Christ, and

When child is born, it is born not so much from
oatura as from spiritual causes, for God gives it to
the parents image Of himself to be cherished,

Mr.. Charming concluded by pointing out the vast |
field presented in the Old World for the propagation
Of socialist opinions, until they would cause

md announced that Mr.. Dana would lecture on next
Sunday. |
The congregation then dispersed in every direc- |
ion, and, on going through the hall, each was de-
lighted to see notice upon the bulletin board to
his effect" Mr. Il. IRVINE and Miss Abbey s.
Arnold will be happy to see their friends in the
lining room at halfpast eight o'clo,k."
