morning and evening.
A Liberal Christian Church has
been established at Oskaloosa, Hi
nois, through the labors of Rev. Rob
ert Hassall. Its prospect is encour-
aging.
Rev. Robert Collyer's Church, in
Chicago, is as distinguished for good
works as it is for the genius and ear
nestness of its minister. The follow
ing passages, from sermon appropri-
ate to the seventh anniversary of his
relation to his people, indicate what
they are doing.
It has been the habit of the critics
sometimes to call the school of
thought, to which we belong, the HUI
manitarian School. 1t could only be
in derision they would call us that, if,
holding the doctrine Of the proper
humanity of Christ, and that he is
own brother to some human being,
we should then neglect this great sa-
cred kinship, and leave the sinful to
tester and rotin their sin, the sick and
suffering to die, and the lost to go
down to blank despair. And so |
have felt very clear, in the past few
weeks, working for the organization
of two societies.
The first is that Society now num-
boring about hundred members,
called the Unity Church Fraternity"
/ want it to be composed of young
persons; first, because the first thing
to be done by the fraternity-the care
of the sick and suffering outside of
the church-is a noble and beautiful
habit want all our young people to
make a familiar part of their life.
And second, because the second thing
| to be done--to welcome all young
persons who come into our city and
church, and make them feel at home,
! and if at any time any member is sick
to give all sympathy and assistance
that may be needed-is what our young
people can do and viii be glad to do,
and / know of nothing more noble
and good. gfoaa *ad .a
Another society we are forming, is
to be called" The Liberal Christian
League" 1t is to be society of re-
form. Beginning. as the other be-
gins, with the relief of actual suffer
ing and misery, it will go on to inquire
into the cause of poverty, ignorance
and crime, and what may be done to
prevent them. 1t proposes to deal
with the question of dwellings for the
poor, especially in this city, what they
are and what they may be, to embody
the result in some form that will en-
! tighten the public in this vastly i'm
portant movement and prepare the
way for reform Then it proposes
to send one, or more, woman to help
and to save those lost sisters of some
man, daughters of some home, for
whom Jesus cared, and who washed
| his feet with their tears, to save them
| if they can, and if they can to see
how much can be done towards saving
| them. Hiti r7a,,
b Then the league will open a room
to which these lost women can come
to be advised and encouraged when
ever one is sick Of her sin and will
leave it, and where they can come on
+ Sunday and find those of their sex
I who will talk to them tenderly of bet
ter things. This league also proposes,
In time. to open courses of lectures
and concerts to the classes who cam
not afford to pay the prices we now
pay, but who need, just as much as we
do, the elevating influence of fine
music and fine eloquence. q
I have a far graver quarrel with
! NJ Doool,ov 4ko1 Al l., III +I,o mn n
lie have had of late with him. 1t is
that, being follower of Christ, and
the man Of us all the people would
have gladly and ought to hear, he has
sold his eloquence invaribly at price
that has kept all the common people
away from him. It is as if the multi
tudes had been charged half dollar
to hear the : Sermon on the Mount." "
