who call themselves Free COngre gatiOnal- ists, and who have recently erected large edifice, which they call Bosnian Hall, and in which they hold their meetings. We notice in their annual report published in the Northampton Courier of last week, that when finished and ready to be dedicated in March last. it seemed suddenly to occur to them that the structure should be dedica- ted to somebody or something, but to whom, was puzzle. It was finally agreed to allow each member to dedicate it for himself, but it was thought that MT. Con- ner came the nearest to the mark when he dedicated it "to the search after truth and the service of man." These people seem to be groping Tn the dark after the truth, or in other words are seeking for a mode of re- ligious worship that will agree with their own notions of doing things. Accepting the teachings of Tom Paine as their law and their gospel, like all students of that god of reason, they are left full of lndeci- sion and more in the fog than would be possible for them to get. under any other course of instruction. They rely totally upon the reason of man to determine the truth when it shall appear to them. How this mighty reason of man; this accepted infallible monitor of mans existence is to become sufficiently reconciled to any one belief, to accept, adopt and live by it, is in deed the pr,foundest mystery to the unin- itiated, when we realize the undeniable fact that this same Reason has already arrived at two hundred and seventy-two different conclusions in regard to the truth of it's various religions. Mans reason has crea
 ted precisely this number of different relig
 ions of acknowledged creeds and denom- nations, each of which has it's followers.
