On the Term , Unitarian . To the Editor . Sir , I have been a good deal struck with that particular passage in Dr . Chanuing ' s celebrated 'discourse on the design of Christianity , iu which he " almost"
disclaims the term Unitarian ; and more than that , I confess myself to be one of the number of those who have felt a distaste to the appellation likewise * Yet allow me to add , that a portion of that distaste has been wearing away for some time ; and I know of no other reason
why it should have abated , but the conviction , that we could not find a more appropriate term to express our real distinction as a body , in a religious sense ; and that our sect is , in fact , " the community of free minds , of lovers oftruth , of followers of Christ , both on earth and in heaven . "
Sometimes I have wished the addition of Christian" Unitarian , though 1 conceive noue but the almost wilfully ignorant of our real professions , in matters of faith > ever think of us otherwise than as pious and sincere Christians . Dr . Channiug says , " if the name were more honoured , he should be glad to throw it off . " I say , as it becomes more honoured , I accept aud wear it with more heartfelt satisfaction : and , in my humble opinion , the same interval which has reconciled
my mind , ; to the term , has , with many others , operated in a similar way . . Much of this change we owe to the respectable Association , which has , on every occasion , acquitted itself so well , aMJ " ri > g eafc ojrgaul p f pur body .

" , . ; God forbid that it should form any part of our occupation to arraign the honest sentiments of our neighbours !
We ought to know and feel that all men cannot attach similar meanings to particular passages of the Sacred Scriptures ; nor is it probably consistent with the unfathomable plans of the Almighty that they should , seeing that if conformity of belief were universal , that subject might
sink into comparative insipidity , which now so beneficially engages the hearts and understandings of men . AH we have to do as individuals is to pursue a right conduct in life ; to look to the great example of our blessed Saviour , and study and practise his instructions . I know of no other ' shackles *'
