' 'The following is un extract from the "Address to the People," delivered at l he installation of the Rev, Ilenry,A. .Miles as pastor of the Unitarian Society in Lwell, Djc. Ilia, 1830, by the Rev.

A fair inference from this is, that yxf consider yourselves as having some thing '.yet to harn possibly, something to un learn. If he is faithful as a tcachert will it be wonderful if you find, a new opinion advanced. or an old one- brought in question ; some habit censured, or some prejudice shocked Again, if he is expected to be yuur.."guid" shall he not take the lead? or, must h j lag behind, for fear ne should take a wrong course himself, and mislead the flock who have committed themselves to his guidance!

It instantly assumes an importance from the very cnnsidert tion that it is forbidden. Other subjects, howev er, i:i tl emselves idistiact from it, soon appear to have relations toi it, till there is scarcely one, in --' the whole circle 6f topics which concern the vvel fare of man, in either his religious, domestic, so cial or civil relations, which doesjnot appear to be connected with it, or to have some bearing to wards it. Like our first great progenitor in the to my propertv is not sound: and Tf vou tell that it is not, IsbaJi never consult you again?" ArU nvea-you to oe toia taat a title to an inter est in the kingdom of heaven depends also upon its conditions ; that is a kingdom of las ?r-law?, too, that are more established and more constant than are those which relate to your lands and tenements on earth? laws, of which ere one iota shall fail, the heavens aud the earth shall pass away i - ; j - I y?yout then, if you expect fidelity in your minister, to show him only the same measure of professional i deference, and allow him only the same professional freedom which vou accord to men in other professions, in whuin fidelity is ex- t . I it . peciea, anu ia wnom tne vvantoi jt wouia not anu should net be excused. r I have said that, in order to be faithful in bis ministry, yo'dr pastor must bo free. Liat he must be free not only in the pulpit: he must be equal ly so out ol it. l ou must allow him entire free dom in regard to his domestic and social rela tions. So loniras he does his duty as a ministt-r. let him enioy society us a man. Vour minister. we trust, is a man, and, as such; a, sharer in the delights of society and the sympathies of human ity. Vould you ask would you have a man for your minister, who has not a friend, either in your circle or out of it? Having friend?, shall he not find relaxation from his labors in the en joyment of their society I Will 'you deny him that which you rightfully claim for yourselves? Do not, then, look jealously upon him, if you see taat he enters some of your neighbors' doors, of tener than he does yours, lather seek his so ciety, show an interest in his concerns and wel-; fire, if you wish him to feel an interest iu vours. A minister may show all good fidelity as such ; be may seek, aud labor, and pray for the good of all ; he may pour himself out as a sacrifice upon the altar of his duty for the benefit of all; yet will he, (for it is not in man that he should not,) find himself drawn towards some bva stronger attraction, and bound t them by a closer attach ment, than to ethers. Now, to a great extent, it depends upon each one of you to say whether he shall be the favored, or, if you please, the enf.ed individual, himself -or thether he - Uilcok with envy upon another, aajoying a disproportion ate share of your mmister'society and friendly regards. If your pastor is a wise; man, or a son of wisdom, you canuot complain if he makes the language of wisdom his own, and says, "1 love them that love me, and they that seek me shall find me." I ! Rather than restrict the movements of our friend amongyou, then, by prohibition in the pulpit, or by jealousies out of.it, leave him free. This is the indispensable condition of his faith- i I J vrnv in ti.in nnr .nia. yi i m. n ii.i 1 ... i w,.i .,. 1 .1 1 T i .
