UNITARIAN EXCLUSION.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce breaches of New York
Conferences

The exclusion Of the Unitarian delegates
from the proposed New York conference to
consider plans for the federation of Pro-
testant churches was the subject of the
sermon yesterday by Rev Ulysses c. B.
Pierce, pastor of All Souls Unitarian
Church.
The delegates elected to represent the
Unitarians at this conference were John
D. Long, ex-Secretary of the Navy; Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States
Senate, and Rev. Samuel A. Eliot, president
of the Unitarian Fellowship, and son of
President Eliot of Harvard University. The
meeting is to take place early in Novem-
Der. When the credentials of the Unitarian
delegates were sent to the executive COM
mittee of the proposed federation they were
ruled out on the ground that the Unitarian
church is unorthodoX.
The question is of especial interest in
Washington, as Rev. Edward Everett Hale
and John d. Long have been residents of
this city The attitude of the committee is
considered narrow and bigoted by leading
Unitarians. Rev. L. G. B., Pierce said:
THE incident simply shows that the
work of the Unitarian church is not yet
done. 1t should come as challenge to do
better work. People will now learn what
the Unitarian attitude to life is. Salvation
by character is still the gospel that men
need.

Te," by Tirindelli in a fine contralto voice,

ish and good voice with which she sang

last time during the evening became an
ovation. For an encore she sang sum-
mer" by Chaminade, and when she was
recalled once more by the enthusiastic
audience she sang Die Mondnacht by
