much more accurately Of Uaitarisuism,
and the work that Uuttarians have done
and are doing, had they listened to DR.
Wilson at the Unitarian Church, Sun

Luke XVIII: 10 ID, "Two men went MP
into the Sempie TO pray; the one a
Phsrisee, nad the other publican. The
Pharisee stood and prayed thus with
himself, Ged, / thank Thee that l
am not an other men are" &o DR..
Wilson quoted Max Muller, professor OF
philology in Oxford Uaivsrsity, and the
late Dean Stanley Of the church Of
EnglaDd TO show that tolerance OF the re-
liRious opinions OF others is one Of the
most distinguishing marks OF the nine
teenth century as oonsrAsted with the
dogmAtism and spiritual arrogance Of
former centuries, when the religious de-
votee in order to prove his own faith con
eidAre II necessary to denounoe those
holding different religious opiuions from
his own.
The presumption Of the reverend gen.
.leman from Boston In eFitioising in the
way he did such men as Charming and
Parker and Emerson, wss shown to be
much like the pismy krTaigniug the
giRnte. 1t was remarked that II Unitsr-
iRnism IL az dead ss the lecturer would

something remarkable, AS to the es-
sertiou Of the slow growth Of Unitsriai
churches, 1t was stated that only the in

liberaliziDg the sermons TO be heard In

kept large numbera ircm coming ont

Island it is generally conceded that all
the peach buds are killed, II not the trees

found that showed signs of life bsfore the
heavy freezs of about a week ago, when
the thermometer went 200 below zero,
with sleet on the trees, which
with that degree OF temperature
probably killed both the buds
and trees, the CataWbR grape buds
in particular and others generally. From
reports Of dozen different persona Ia
divers localities trees are nearly or quite
all dead. It is possible that the secondary
bud may in some cases not be killed, so
that partial crop may be realized,
though many experienced testers of frozen
buds deelare that these too are dead, in
