tanned an extended review of several vol
umes by some of the younger Unitarian
ministers, which have recently been pub
lished, and gathering from these intima-
tons Of the drift of the liberal religious
thought of the time. OF one of these
books, of local interest, this article saws:
Another volume is by Rev. S. NJ. Croth-
ers, a Unitarian clergyman in Minnesota,
who has published six sermons under tine
title of members of one body" all of
which breathe the spirit of wider and
better life than has, perhaps, ever been
found in the Unitarian body before. He
writes like man of our own time, a con-
secrated man, and he speaks the larger
truth which ell men are longing to hear,
though he has not yet caught hold of the
constructive idea which brings unity out of
chaos in our religious life. His volume
increases the regret of many that he did
not accept his recent call to be the minis
ter of Kings Chapel in this CITY,"
