UNITARIAN SOCIETY OF WELLINGTON Our mission. — It lms been asserted by some that the name of this Society is misleading to oulsiders, or that it does not explain our position in religious matters. to call ourselves Unitarians because we assert our belief in tho Unity of God and His kingdom. So fur wo are in harmony with all religious bodies. We are in harmony with most denominations on many other points; it is chiefly where they differ among thenmdves that we differ from them. The higher criticism in matters touching belief has called in question many of tho dogmas held by other denominations or churches, notably the doctiino of the Trinity, and many thoughtful members of those bodies have becomo Unitarians who aro not yet conscious of tho fact. These people cease to attend public worship, or do so making many reservations. It is largely for tho benefit of «uch that this Society has been established. We have no creed as a condition of membership, beouse we cannot conceive of a jnat God imposing on us tno necessity of believing in uny .special creed as a means of salvation. Wo regard God as our Father, and wo beliovo in tho progrwwivo diacovory of trufcfi ns his revola- ( tioli to mankind. We do not icek for vecruits among tho faithful adherents; of* 1 any dcnoniinntiou, and wo would not" draw thow away from the comfort and consolation they find hi their. faith on uny consideration. Our present aims. — Wo desire to increnso our membership no ns to bo ontitled to a Minister, whom tho British ajid Foreign Unitarian , Association has offered to send to us undor certain condilions. Wo also hope to establish a church building where wo nmy worship together and search for truth and enlightenment Services aro nt present hold onro a month, or oftoner, as opportunity offers, and tuno and plncc of services are always advertised. Pamphlets on liberal religion uro distiibuted free. Further particulars may bo obtained from tho {secretary (Mr. Ed, Boococjk), Box 166, P. O. K Wellington; or tho Treneurer (Mr. Wn'i. C.

This iB from tho Daily Express; — "Motor tour on Continent.— Lady and gentleman, in haibit of motoring Oibroad, skirt in about three weeks for Rome, visiting numer6us Italian cities en routo j a lady of motoring temperament could havo a scab in car for £200, to covor all costs of trip out and back."
