-'-e "CMURCH UNI-Y."

Mr.. EDITOR :-"There are none so
blind as those who will not see" is truej !
but we think If "Uuity'' hnd applied il
to himself it would have fitted neutly.-I
We are always willing to see when there |
is anything to, be seen, but as there IL
nothing in "Unity's" argument-hence
the reason of our blihdn ,ss. We are
still of the same opinion we were at first /
that to unite all churches as one church |
in creed is ridiculous idea in tile ex-
treme. There are not two beings alike
in every respect. Nature, Gods first and
best creation, (best, because Nature
obeys the laws laid down for her gov
ernment, While man does notJ teaches us
the impossibility of uniting men. And
HOWE Because there are not two things
Take tile thousands OF leaves Thar
strew the ground in Autumn, and you
will not find two that are exactly alike

shrubs or any OF ihe various mo, proum,ice'

ent sizes, shapes, and colors. The sky is

sun, the "God of day." sheds a different

: it is with men. They are all ditferent.-
'rhis would be a very monotonous world
i If all men were of one opinion, and Ma
ture was without the variety attached To
her. Itis tho variety of Nature--the diff
fcrsnc9-that makes the world as lovely
as it is, Hence, God, at the Tower o.
Babel,n confused mems language and
: minds, that they would be fitted TO en-
: Joy and appreciate Nature. And what
, else does Nature teach us, regarding me
question in hand? 1t is thlS-lt IS only

men. 1t aim al the one object for which
=. it was created-nan's pleasure. q,
And so it is with churches, Mr.. Edi-

d Chrisl is the viae, the churches are the

n body, and by tine number of thelbranch-
s es is the quantity of the fruit. We DIM

take things as they are. Men are not 81

COMMUNICATIONS from Heaven Til

H. heart. II is wonderful thing-beyon
nd the comprehension of mana feelin
nd that is iDexpressible. Unity" has 10,
gotten that there is few more people
N The world than there was when the apo
an ties were on the EARTH. and, therefor
he there is greater variety of views an
: opinions-and it is necessary to have
,r. large number of ministers. 1t is SUI
,e- prising, Mr.. Editor, that in the min
We teenth century, in the full blaze of lite
,ot ature, when learning is in reach Of IL
40 poor as well as the rich, that we shoul
mel hear such ideas as have been advance
ich by "Unity." Why 1t is that persons
ms this day run into such wild fanaticisn
on religion, as Unity has, we cam
,ur tell, unless they think it is their la
rIv chance. and therefore they cling to the
ent idea with all the tenacity that a shi
os. wrecked man at sea clings to the plar
len upon which he floats. We were in hop
rch it would not be necessary for us to wri
inp any more on this subject, but sme fol
uid ARE so "thick- headed" it is only by 7
lad petition that you can impress anythil
ro- upon their BRAN.
rch And now we wish to have few wor

na- pence" We had supposed that after I
rfh drubbing "Unity" administered to BIZ
hat he would have retired to the obscurl
the that is better suited TO him than the CT
ain umns of tire HERALD. Thanks for I
D. implied compliment to our pap
lied -ED.) But, like all "monomaniHcs
ted he clings to his one idea as a y''do
lid. clings to a bone" We call him ''mo
emf omaniac,Y because wo certainly do thi
the his mind is deranged. He has Decor
ven insane upon one subject-"independe
lid. churches." No same mar weu1d e'
ris project such an idea, or plan OF a chui
adj that was projected by "Indepence.'

its dy cure the using Of Hazei-nut tea, as
crib is always dead shot.
