HARTFORD. Conn. April 81. 1,

HARTFORD Conn. April 81, 1898.
Sir-Inasmuch your presence and department
are Objectionable TO the great majority of those
who compose the Unitarian Congregational
cety Of this city, and inasmuch as II is believed
that your attendance is 10 way helpful eithe to
them or to you, you are hereby most respect ully
requested not 20 attend any meeting held or
the auspices OF said society.
Without knowing the provocaticn n
that led to the sending of this cruel and
shocking letter, it will strike the gen.
eral reader that upon its face it fur
nishes the best possible evidence of the
great need of the spirit of christianity
in that Hartford church. 1t is impossi-
BILE to conceive Of set of circumstances
that would completely justifyit. People
who make themselves unendurably OBJ
noxious in churches can be dealt with
by the civil authorities. A man who
seriously disturbs church services is a
fit subject for the Jail, and may be
transferred to that place of punishment
by the police.
Such spirit of intolerance in "A
modern church serves to excite wonder
that the gospel of tolerance and long
suffering, designed to save even the
lowest and vilest of mankind from him
self, should lead to an arbitrary refusal
to allow any man to receive and possi-
bly, profit by the preaching Of the tenets
of Jesus Christ.
The letter is libel on civilization, as
well as terrible arraignment of tie
spirit that has found lodgment in the
modern church. 1t casts dark shadow
of disgrace over the city that suffers
with such a church, and the denomina-
to which the church belongs.
