THE Unitarian" was the subject
of the Rev. Mr.. Lambs lecture to the
Personal Workers class yesterday. He

Of many OF their declarations. Hnes
say that preachers and churches are
money grafters. while as a matter OF
| fact the former are very much under
paid for their profession and the latter
live without any commercial returns
whatever. Christianity is alone
u wholly unself5a. The utilitarian's
