Special efforts were made by the com
mittee in charge to make the services Of
both the conference and installation par
ticularly interesting, and in this they
succeeded admirably. There is not a
church in the city that embraces a class
of more intelligent people than does the
Unitarian Church. The church itself Is
growing, and the congregation Is max.
ing earnest efforts to follow out the line
of work in the moral and intellectual ad-
vancement of mankind, which is so i'm.

entitled Church Life in the New Faith "
he said that the old ideas have been
modified to such an extent as to be
scarcely recognizable. The church life
in the new faith should have as it's chief
corner stone the enthusiasm of humanity.
In these changed conceptions law has
lost none OF its majesty, love none Of its
sweetness and nearness, and man with
his increased wisdom bows with deeper
reverence before the majesty of life aud
its author"
Rev. J. II. Clifford discussed Religious
Union hthe Basis of Universal Peace.
