Tniversalists and Unftarians

In our issue of December 18th, We
published a letter from f. w Wyman,
a former Somerset County citizen,
who for many years has lived in Yer
mont. We have since learned some
interesting facts not related therein.
It seems that Mr.. Wyman was made
a Master Mason in 1866, in Northern
Star Lodge at North Arson. He
went to Lancaster in 1877 and aftiliat-
ed with the lodge there. taking a de-
NIT from Northern Star. In Lancas-
ter. he became a charter member OF
Col. f. f. Cross Post, G. A. K.
We wrote Mr.. Wyman to tell us OF
any church affiliations, and to that
question he replies as follows:
Il have never been a member of
any church, but think, II | was TO
be made a churchman, | should join
the Tniversalists and the Unitarians
for the Universalsts think they are
too good to be damned, while the
Unitarians think that God is Ito good
to damn anybody So, perhaps by
mixing the two together and string
them up a little. they might make
quite a comfortable combination.
Very truly yours,
f W. WYMAN, Guildhall, Vt
