they disclaim all sectarian prejudice , Unitarians are excluded by an express rule ; and were I visiting one of their Sunday-Schools , I should think it right to tell the children the dangerous state they were in . "
The deputation , intimating that their object was not to enter into any religious -discussion , briefly observed , that " Unitarians acknowledged Christ , though not in the same way that he did ; " and having ascertained that they were absolutely excluded , took their leave .
It is due to Mr . Wilson to acknowledge the civility of his manner and language ; and it is proper to add , that no blame can be attributed to him for adhering to the rules of the Society , of which he is the agent . But it ought to be known , that some time previous to
this interview , in a conversation with a member of the Unitarian society , Mr . Wilson was asked if t € any Unitarians had joined the Union ? " —to which he replied , he " was not aware that any of them had done so . * Was this cautions
answer suggested by a / ear of giving offence ; and was this fear excited by a suspicion , that if the whole truth was told at once , the Unitarians would not be inclined to aid by their individual subscriptions a society which rejected their co-operation as a body , upon the
ground of their not being Christians ? To decide these questions in the affirmative may by some be thought unjustifiable , but it is certain that several Unitarians were solicited for subscriptions previous to this avowal of their inadmissibility into the Union , extorted by the deputation .
Another meeting has lately been held by the Sunday-School Union . As the Unitarian Dissenters may be blamed for not co-operating in so useful an institution with Christians of other denominations , the reason of their declining being unknown , and their conduct consequently liable to misrepresentation , ! have thought
it an imperious duty to state the matter as it really stands , leaving the justice of the interdiction to the impartial judgment of the public . 1 subscribe myself , A Worshiper of One Supreme God , and a Believer in the Divine Mission of Jesus Christ .
N . B . It is proper to say , that in the Sunday School attached to the Unitarian Chapel in KimicIhI , no particular creed or catechism is taught .
