The Courier declares its intention

Insertion of Objectionable communi-
cations, which would be cheap
enough II anybody ever had n griev-
ance which it was worth dollar or
two to ventilate and if the publica-
ton OF such articles were justifiable
under any circumstances. 1t gen
orally happens, however, that the
most importunate OF ANONYMOUS
scribblers are the least willing to
pay Ion any service they may receive
from the newspaper, even if it be Ut

Rev L. A. Hu,chins conducted
Unitarian services in Tacoma Hall,
Sunday, morning and evening. His
last discourse was on the subject of
" Pure Religion" a. defined in the
EpistIe Of James, I: q. 1t was a
plain presentation OF the doctrine
taught in the text. Ths main point
IN which the reverend gentleman
differed from some other expounders
was IN his assertion of o belief that
the spiritual nature is separate and
distinct from those personal at,ri-
bu gu which give individuality 10
mankind. II we understood him
properly. his idea is that to be " un-
spotted from the world" one must
wrap himself up in mantle such as
bi9ots sometimes wear. This is not !,
Of course. the sequence he would
discover, but it il nevertheless too
often the result Of a religious fervor
which sewers all connection between
the spiritual and the earthly nature
OF man. Mr.. Hutchins is a gentle.
man Of pleasing address, to which
the grace Of culture has impaired a
dignity in keeping with his sacred
calling. He will ofiiciate next Sun
day. morning and evening, at the
same place, when our people will be
able to form q better acquaintance
with him. as in consequence of the
imperfect announcement made of bis
appearance, the attendance has not
been large. Mr.. Hutchins' former
field OF labor was in New York, from
which he brings high testimonials.
