KIND FRIENDS:--The human mind has been so constituted by the great Author of our being that diversity of thought and opinion pervade the minds of different Individuals ot the great humanity, and It has been well said that "it would be at easy to make all men of one height as to make them all of one mind.** This is evidently true md as we cannot have the world, In all particulars, as we would wish, m must, therefore, tak« It as we fiud It and strive to mould it for the better. If we desire to do good as much as In us He, In the moral and religious department of human life there is as great a diver­ sity as in the materia^and Intellectual, and it becomes the whole community to do all in Its po<ver lor the elevation, purity and divine life of every soul In This, however, is not being done as It should, for we find quite too large share of the people committing themselves to wiong actions, wrong words and wrong thoughts,so that they mar the moral and religious beauty of community to too large an extent. The Christian church was established as one or the great means of uplifting and helping to perfect God's universal family, and its divlnest tendency Is In that direction. That church, by human opinions, and in many cases by human ambition, has been divided into a multiplicity of branches and sects, so that by the com­ bined action of all of these, although tiot altogether in harmonious concert, the church his to do the important work devolving upon her. Having been called to the pastorate of. the Universalis! branch of the church of McHenry, I hereby ink that those whose opinions are in harmony with us, aud those more nearly so In liberal opinions, will not only come forward to support, but also to help do the work of a christian people, that you may not only be benefitted your selves, but alto help to bring up higher the moral and religious status of the whole cummuiilty. Without h >ving the least feeling of antagonism toward the other branches of the christian church In. tills vicinity. It is very evl • dent that the wlitde work of redemp­ tion from the thralldom of sin has not been entirely accomplished, and feel­ ing thai we, as a denomination, have, as an >mperatlve duty, rtur share of that work to do;I .sk that you will help me in every legitimate way of chris­ tian workers to pr*«eot the truths of the Gospel of Christ, as we uud^rstaud them, both by «dvocaoy, harmony of work and the uanlfeKt.HfIon of prictl cal religion to the accomplishment of grand purpooes in our midst. The falrh In the universal Father hood of God, unlveral brotherhood of men, declined, dually, to one universal home, through one Redeemer, Is when fully understood and appreciated auffl clem to bring forth fr»in the human spu.l a deep and profound devotion, N prayerful and au upright lite. To bHn about as much of tIlls as po*t>ible bv your help and by the assistance of the divine Spirit, In the name of the Master, I am here with you. To meet you in your home*; be with you In the jojous rimes of I lie marriage of your children; to help and console you in times of sicklies* and sorrow; to com­ fort yon at the time of the dfath of of your loyed ones, are among my greatest duties. The awakening earnestness of t|ie friends reviving trom the dormancy of the past. Is a hopeful sign of the future action of the parish for good,and being the only Universalist minister In Mc Henry County, I take tills method or addressing thos«* friends of the cause whom 1 have not seen, as well as those 1 have, to urge a willing and earnest activity; a harmoniou« and united movement, to place our < au*e on a per manent working basis, beyond the per- adventure of failure in the future. Let the church be regularly and constantly full, a«d our work fai hfully done, then God will bless us in our labors, while all will be benefited around us. So let us work and so let us pray. B.
