last ten years must have removed . The agitation of the human mind , its earnest quest after truth , its intolerance of antiquity as such , its thirst fbr ^ form of doctrine which shall satisfy the intellect and the heart , the attachment which it is unceasingly showing to the names whom as Unitarians you most honour , the consequent dying away of prejudice , and growth of predilection , all this seems to . give a promise of better things to come , and invites your cooperation . Let that cooperation , as the case requires , be
hearty and constant . We live in no ordinary times , no ordinary exertions cWTulfiPyour mission ! THefenergy that i ¥ "in ^^ tiorTi rrtne world , requires corresponding energy in the church . The first is power for good or for ill . Its direction and result will be modified by moral influences . Let them be the influences of pure and undefiled religion * otherwise these energies may be precipitated partly into infidelity , partly into scepticism . But no—may God avert this disaster ! the salt of the earth will not lose its savour , the wheels of society will not be rolled back ; if you prove unfaithful to your trust , the

The ark of humanity is safe , how inert soever some of its inmates may be . I will not , however , terminate with words of ill omen to those whom , as members of the same religious brotherhood , I love more than otherswho > arenotof that fold * , and certain am I'that "I cariiiot show my love for them in a way more conducive to their good , than by striving to
induce them , as I now have done , to devote their energies to the cause of Christian beneyolence and mental regeneration . If ever there was a case in which labour and pleasure ,-and labour and good were yoke-fellow ^ it is this , I will-hope , then , that the increased , influence which the superiority of your social position gives will prompt you to increased , to redoubled exertion ; I will hope that you will not lag and faint now that you have reached the top of Horeb , and have the land of promise extending the goodly array of i (; s , hills and vales before you .
