WE PUBLISH this week an address


ISOLATION last summer. It is we'll
worth perusal by every teacher, by
every parent and by every thought
full person who may chance to have
the opportunity of SO doing. Miss
Bingham's name stands among our
list of contributors, but i'll health
has thus far prevented her from
writing. She is lady of fine cul-
ture, being a Jealous student, either
from force of native instinct, or
through the inspiration derived
from excellent teachers in early life.
To know her is great gain, and her
society is equal to the value ofmany
machine schools, and yet she is a
gentle lady, by no means awe-in-
spring or terrible.
The LIBERAL WORKER says
eve care no more for Unitarianism
than for Hinduism, except as it rep
resents the truth universal, and in
this opinion most Unitarians would
agree. We would not lift feath-
er's weight to build up sect, even
so broad an one as this. We are
willing to do all things for human
good and enlightenment" After
asserting this, the editor asks us to
inform him wherein Mr.. Dudley
differs from him? A difficult task
is surely assigned us here. To COM
pare this bit of a religious photo
graph of the editor Of the Liberal
Yorker with Mr.. Dudley and say
ROW the latter differs from the ORR
ginal of the former, is indeed a per-
picking business. However, since
the editor desires our effort in this
work, we would request that he
somewhat facilitate our labor by
forwarding to us an enlarged copy
of this photograph.
In regard to another point of the
above mentioned journal, we be-
lieve it an entire mistake. No
appointment clergyman of Milwau-
kee" within our knowledge or mem
ory was ever ssoffered one of the
grandest opportunities to place him
self on the ground Of truth univer-
sal and ignore Sect" Onthe contra
ry, two clergyman of that city, be-
lieving that their own integrity re-
CURED them to preach such truth,
as it was presented to them, regard
less Of sects that supplied them with
pulpits, have been what the church
world calls defeated. Time only
will tell whether the defeat was of
the silenced men or of the silencing
powers. One of these churches was
avowedly "liberal," but it was as re-
lentless in it's "Thus far shalt thou
go and no farther" as was the other
which was nominally "orthodox.'
VIM. c. Cannot, who to-day estab-
fishes himself among the Radical or
Free-thoughted minds, asserts that
the hope of the church lies in Lib
eral Congregationalism. He be-
lieves that will yet be the broadcast
platform Of religion.
But the name is of little conse-
quence. .sCatholic" is a splendid
name. Let its devotees only be dis
tinguished by spirit of catholicity
and nothing more is needed to make
all broad minds in harmony with it.
THE GOLDEN AGE says some of
the attempts at wit by the New
York press, at the expense of the
Tribune, care enough to give an
alligator the lockjaw, or develop
corns on bootjack.''
REV. E. P. Powell, of Chicago,
has prepared a lecture entitled s'The
Spectroscope, or Lessons from a
Rainbow" which he is prepared
to deliver during the coming winter.
This delights us. The full signifi-
canoe of the word cannot be fully
portrayed except in the elaborate
and studied effort of an essay or lee
ture.
Appreciation Of Such an One as
Christ.
