Excerpt from The Monthly Journal of the American Unitarian Association, Vol. 10: February, 1869 Enough has already been said in regard to the proposed co-operation on the part of this Association with the Afri can Methodist Episcopal Church, for the good of the colored people of America, to explain sufficiently the gen eral purpose and plan of this cc-operation. It was begun with the feeling that this class of our fellow-citizens now have a peculiar claim upon our Christian efforts; that for many reasons these efforts can be most successfully made by the agency of men of their own color; and that there are certain broad methods of intellectual and moral and spiritual elevation, recognized by Christians of every name, in which we can work with any who will work with us.

Excerpt from The Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, 1874, Vol. 1 Somewhat Similar to this is the sympathy that we feel with na ture. The sense of beauty is at heart a sense of companionship. We recognize in the nature about us a life which is kindred to our own. We rejoice to be wrapped in by this infinite life of nature. The early peeples have loved to speak of the earth as their mother. From this feeling of relationship comes the sympathy which we have with the outward world. Sometimes nature reflects our mood. She is glad or sorrowful according as we are glad or sorrowful. Sometimes she takes us up into her lofty moods: Our Spirits grew strong with her strength, tender with her tenderness, calm with her calmness. Whatever form the effect may take it Springs from our sense of unity with the life about us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Charles Lowe was born on November 18, 1828 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States, the son of John and Sarah Ann (Simes) Lowe.
As a boy Lowe attended Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire, where his father had become manager of a cotton-mill. Entering Harvard College as a sophomore he graduated as salutatorian of the class of 1847. For a year he read law with Amos Tuck in Exeter, then he began the study of theology under the direction of the Reverend Andrew P. Peabody of Portsmouth, completing the course in the Harvard Divinity School (1849 - 1851) while he served as tutor in the college of arts. He spent a winter semester, 1854-1855, in the University of Halle under the theologians Erdmann and Tholuck.
In the spring of 1851 Lowe became the colleague of the Reverend John Weiss in the Unitarian church of New Bedford, Massachusetts, but two years later a serious malady of the lungs made him seek health in extensive travel in Western Europe and the Turkish Empire. In September 1855 he became pastor of the North Church in Salem, Massachusetts, but after nearly two years of ministry he was again obliged to resign.
In February 1859, his health improved, he became pastor of the Unitarian church in Somerville, Massachusetts, and during the Civil War he added to his pastoral care temporary service as army chaplain in 1863, as chairman of the Army Committee of the American Unitarian Association in 1864, and in behalf of the Freedmen's Aid Society in 1865. His sagacity and success in these activities led to another responsibility, a leadership in the effort to organize the autonomous, loosely related Unitarian congregations into a National Conference (April 1865) which would be composed of devout conservatives, who cherished recognition of Christ as a superhuman being, and younger innovators, some of whom were disinclined even to the name Christian since for them it necessarily implied the inherited system of authoritative dogma. In this difficult situation Lowe, now transferred from his parish to the office of executive secretary of the American Unitarian Association, served as a catalyst. His calm courage and frankness, his catholicity of mind, and his sweetness of spirit won divergent parties to unity.
After six years of remarkably efficient administration he was too ill to continue the work and in 1871 again traveled abroad for his health. Returning in May 1873 he declined the pastorate of the First Church of Cambridge, and the presidency of Antioch College, but undertook the editorship of the Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, planned to succeed the older Monthly Religious Magazine. A few months after he had taken over the work he sought the sea air of Swampscot, May 30, 1874, but immediately suffered the beginning of hemorrhages from which he died on June 20.
