supported by her talent, for some years, her mother
and her younger sister. She looks almost better in
private than on the stage; the frank, blue eye, the
strong, intelligent forehead, and the honest, sensible
expression of her whole demeanor and conversation
make her company very desirable.
Sunday I heard Theodore Parker preach. He made a full
and free confession of his faith, and I rejoiced to
see his honesty and courage, although I could not
rejoice at the confession of faith in itself, which
was a very imperfect recognition of the Christian
revelation, and which acknowledged in Christ merely a
human and moral teacher, although, as such, the model
and ideal of humanity. Parker belongs to the Unitarian
body, and to that section of it which denies miracles
and everything that requires supernatural agency in
the sacred history. What really displeased me was
that Parker asserted he regarded Christ as standing
in no other relation to God than did all mankind,
and that he merely was mentioned in history as "a
modest young man from Galilee." How can a lover of
truth read the sacred history and expressions such
as these, "He who has seen me has seen the Father;"
"The Father is in me and I in Him," and many others
of a similar kind, and yet make such an assertion?
