1t is generally known that the National
Conference of the Unitarian denomination
recommended, with great unanimity, plan tor
raising 100000 to promote the objects oil the
Association. This plan was, that on the second
Sunday in November, collection be taken in
euery parish of the denomination to aid in
raising the required sum. VIM. ID. Baldwin
of Boston, President of the Young Mems
Christian Union has been appointed the finan-
cial agent to receive the collections. In his
circular he justly and torciby says. eve know
by experience that the members of our So
ceties are literally disposed; and now with
prompt, earnest and decided action on the
part of both pulpit and pews, the amount rec
commended by the National Conference, $780,
900. will readily be secured, and thus the
Treasury of the American Unitarian Associa-
ton be able to respond to the urgent appeals
which are made to carry on the various mis-
sionary and religious enterprises of the de-
nomination."
And is this an unreasonable expectation?
Will Unitarans fell to respond to this hum
bic call? 1t is considered wealthy denomi-
nation, and do not doubt that in proportion
10 its numbers, it is among the richest and
shall it not do its part in keeping alive the
vestal fire of Christianity? See what the
Nethodists have done, whose reply to SINH
lar appeal is voiced by millions. The Bap-
lists, the Presbyterians and Congregational
lists seem never weary in giving, and show
their zeal for the diffusion of their peculiar
doctrines by an outpouring of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. 1t is stated in recent
paper that the American Board of Foreign
Missions have appropriated $4,000 for the
support of their missions the current year.
And will not Unitarians by liberal con-
current action raise the moderate sum re-
quired to carry forward the great work of
their foreign and successful mission in India
and their numerous missions at home? If
they have faith in the truths of their pro-

devotedly and gratuitousy to advance the
cause OF pure religion, and it is the duty of
their fellow believers to strengthen their
hands and encourage their faithful la bors by
