cepted the invitation of the Unitarian
Iaymens League tn attend the Religious
Plattsburg" at Cambridge. The laymen
appropriated $4,000 TO defray one-half
of the tuition fees and the travelling and
living expenses of their ministers.

churched and members of other Christian
denominations more concrete knowledge
of the principles Of religion for which
Unitarians stand; and intend TO raise
through the Unitarian campaign large
fund for the achievement of these OBJ
jects.
