Excerpt from The Monthly Journal of the American Unitarian Association, 1868, Vol. 9: With the Year-Book of the Unitarian Congregational Churches for 1868

Let there be no mistake where our flag is. Recog nizing the services of all Christian sects, and honoring them according to their faithfulness, knowing that they still have great and glorious works to do, and always ready and glad to praise and bless their various usefulness, I never can lose sight of our own special cause, nor under value its sacred and precious obligations. We stand, in every community where a church of our faith exists, for faith in the ever-living and ever-opening gospel, a gospel which existed before any of the creeds that embody it, and will live long after they are all forgotten; a gospel which has no shackles for the body or for the mind; which is not afraid of the geologist's hammer or'the astronomer's tube or the naturalist's microscope; which believes in man as God's inalienable child, and in Christ as God's free mercy, and 'in God as the Universal Father, against whose mighty and eternal love neither Adam's sins nor ours can stand up as permanent barriers to its glorious, beneficent, and universal course; a gospel of common sense, of generous sympathies, of broad charity, of practical beneficence, which claims to come from Christ's lips, which hopes to fold the whole world in its gentle arms, and which is not afraid to trust itself, in life and in death, as the appointed way of salvation and the gate of eternal life!
