' ..-ftfel ; * , Afcovg all other reasons ^ we burn wltffe a desire ; to propagate our faith , because we believe that it is the great instrument of staying and snbduing irreKgiai » . It is because Unitarian Christianity is th « power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes it as it ought to be betteved , tbat we are chiefly anxious to multiply facilities for its progress
through the world . We believe that our Master when he ascended to his Father and'hijs God , left it to carry on the work for which he came , —to call sinners to repentance . We believe that he taught and suffered , that he might make men pafftakers of the Divine holiness , and that the religion which lawfully bears his name , must have this for its object and
effect . Therefore we wish not only ourselves to be followers of Christ ., but to bring others to walk with usi Therefore we would labour to-remove every obstacle in the way of this faith , and would wm others-to ifcs love and obedience . We see vice and crime s private aud public sin , personal and social wickedness on every side of us ^ the moral atmosphere
in which we live is not pure . We would send the spirit of Qur religion through it . ^ we would , hold up to . general view those solemn truihs au < i affecting revelations and momentous sanctions by which t \} $ careless may be moved , and the perverse be humbled ; by which , they who are disobedient may be reclaimed , and th « y who are in-the way , of righteousness may be animated % o pei-seyexance .
WUh'this estimation of our faith we would wot only liye apd die by it , but we would live , and if Providence require the immolation , we would die for it . We cam hardly repress our astonishment
