dc says he is united by faith in the Same
Christ-only Son Of God, and the Re-
deemcr OF men. You are laborng to bring
together on common ground the d fierent
christian confessions, which have been
sadly, and until now, SO irremediably sep
arale. My ambition, confess, /. still
higher. When You are satisfied with an
alliance, | would desire an organic and
vital unity, and believe this unity to DO
in the future destinies OF the christian
church.

phsanstery, any more than i, is beneficial
to society to bring together all the great
families Of the earth into one phalanstery.
We get along very WELL and allow men to
keep house as they want TO.
