ABSTRACT
Christianity itself is a mission. It was a mission that Christ gave his Apostles. Unitarians may recognize a duty and an opportunity. The rather, because in the third place, the result of these movements is toward the rejection of Christianity, and the adoption of an Atheistic Secularism—the grave of all religion, and the birth-place of personal impotency, and social disorder. In this field of labour there are one or two points of immediate interest to the Unitarian body. Under the Providence of God, and as a consequence of free inquiry, some three hundred societies, holding Unitarian opinions, have come down to us from the past, and ought, with due increase, to be transmitted by us to the future. While such is the state of the less prosperous of Unitarian congregations, the benevolent efforts of the body in general are cramped for the want of a sufficient supply of suitable ministers.
