Ill from Hungary, are doing good service both to their Church and their Fatherland. We are glad to see on every side evi­dences of the great and wonderful progress of your liberated nation; we enter into your national pride at the beuty of your Capital, and at the grandeur of your Millenial Exhibition. We rejoice that this morning we have prayed together in your fine Church in Buda-Pesth, dedi­cated to the worship of the one true God ; and we pray for His blessing upon it; and in conclusion, we promise to your honured and beloverd Bishop, when he comes, as we hope, to preach for us at our National Conference next­­year, as warm a welcome as that for which we thank you to-day. Fellow Unitarians of Hungary! In the Acts of the Apostles it is recorded that when they first went forth to preach the gospel, all languages were spoken, but each man heard his own. It lias been so here. Love is ever the best interpreter. Gentleman ! 1 have not understood your words, but I have understood, I have felt, the friendly heart behind the words and the clasping hand of hospitality is the same in every land. I thank you in the name of the Unitarians of Ame­rica for your welcome to their delegate. I bring you their heartfelt greeting and fraternal love. To me Hungary has (always been an inspiring and sacred name- From ear­liest childhood I used to hear of that wave of enthusiasm which swept over Boston, when my native city received your immortal patriot, the friend of Channing, of Parker, of Emerson, of Longfellow — the friend of Liberty, ad­mired Louis Kossuth. ~—"—"■* The Rev. Theo. Williams of flew-York. Representative of the Ameriran Unitarian Association made the fol­­^ lowing address.
