A New Unitarian Church

THE Independent Presbyterian church, of this city, has been divided, and the seceding members have organized a new Unitarian church. It is but a few years since Dr. Hamilton so departed doctrinally from orthodox Presbyterianism that he was deposed from the ministry of that denomination. Quite a large number of his congregation, being in sympathy with their pastor, left the old church and joined with him in the organization of the Independent church, and the erection of a substantial edifice. Having had a taste of “independence,” “free thought,” etc., it was but natural that some should want more of it. Hence the new move. Dr. Stebbins, of San Francisco, is to supply the pulpit for awhile.
