THE UNITARIANs ADJOURNED.
A Notable Gathering OF Distinguished
Men and Women.

After an all-day session yesterday in Phils-
delphla the Cnitarians closed their conference
with great demonstration in the academy of
music, at which three of their foremost men
George William Curtis, who presided, Rev.
Edward Everett Hale and Rev. MinotJ J. Savage
spoke on the subject Of the future Of reli-
gious thought DIR. Savsge's address, which
was the first and longest, was marked by the
radical views for which he is famous He con-
tended that no intelligent person believed that
Moses wrote the books attributed to him In
the Bible, and said that, as there had never
been any such thing as a fall OF man" all the
machinery of religion and of theology which
was based on that myth was artificial, born Of
the dark ages, and would pass away.
Mr.. Hale said some striking things The
present tendencies IN religious freedom" he
said, ARE but combinations OF political free
dom. This country was born of the people and
mas become country OF the people. SO reh-
gion is destined tor the people.
Mr.. Curtis, after saying some pleasant things
about Philadelphia and paving a graceful
tribute to the Rev. DIR. Furness, went on to
discuss religious progress aud said, apropos of
calling UnItarians lnfidels, that II Dr manning
was an Infidel than an infidel society repre-
sented the ideal community. 'Ceryantes was
just as good a man John knox," he said.
The pope considered the most orthodox
Protestant minister just much an infidel rs
he did a Unitarian. But after all il was not .
term or any creed that settled it, The man
who is the most upright in any community is
after all the best man. The characteristic Of
the time is it's sympathy, charity and frater-
nifty, in a word its humanity. The real and
only rock on which the church is built ID the
brotherhood of man."
Justice Miller WAS reelected president for
the ensuing two years, with most of the same
officers, one of the changes being Rev. George
Batcneler as secretary. The endowment of .
professorshlp to the late James Freeman
Clarke IN Meadyille theological school, which
has occupied great deal of attention during
the conference, is practically settled. With
the collections last night and the money
already pledged it is thought the chair will be
endowed.
