Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unitarian Advocate, Vol. 1 Happily for the Unitarian, his peculiar views Of Christ ianity do not forbid, but require him to manifest the kindest regard for other denominations, and leave him at full liberty to do justice to piety wherever it is found, and however associated with erroneous opinions. Some who stand Opposed to us in creed have seen fit to brand us with harsh epithets for our creed's sake, and to class Unitarians with Pagans, Mahometans, Deists, the enemies Of the gospel. They strike at what is most dear to us, our christian name, and disavow, not only all our preten sions to a correct faith, (which is very tolerable) but even the most sincere claims to a pious character, which to an honest man who is conscious that he fears God from the heart, must be hard to be borne. Let not the Unitarian retaliate in kind. Let us be scrupulous, in our judgments of their character, not to overlook any fair proofs of goodness, nor too eagerly to catch at any signs of what is evil. We have no ends to answer by-auch retorts as a hasty temper might cause an injured party to resort to. Let us the more cautiously guard against these, as they would, more than any thing else, hinder the success Of every effort to convince our brethren of their fault in thus dealing with ourselves. The truths we bold are fast prevailing by their own light and power. God forbid we should employ other means than those which the spirit Of our holy master warrants, to advance them.
