We are, 10 the first place, the Protes

endows him with the powers and re

to reconcile it with the principles O.

of God to man, it drives its advocates
to the supposition that men are resus

the legends OF heathens and barbari

i trust, also, that there is genera
agreement among us upon the follow
ing points =
We believe in yitaI religion, or the
religion of life as contrasted with tha
of trust in hierarchies, establishment!
and traditional formula settled by the
votes of wavering majorities in coun
Gil and convocations.
We believe in evangelical religion
or the religion of glad tidings, in dis
tinction from the schemes that MAKE
our plane. the ante-chamber of the
mansions of eternal woe, to the vas
majority of the men, women and chill
dren, that have lived and suffered upoi
its surface. Ial 3aiahE9 - r..
We believe that every age mus
judge the Scriptures by its own light
and We mean, by Gods grace, to exer
else that privilege, without asking pre-
mission of Pope or Bishop, or an,
other human tribunal. 9 lI5sf4
We believe that Sin is the mucl
abused step pdaughter of Ignorance
and this not only from our own ob

whose last prayer on earth, as recorded
by the Good Physician, was that th'
perpetrators of the greatest crime oil
record might be forgiven, for the,
k,sen not aohat they acere doing.
We believe, beyond all other beliefs
in the fatherly relation of the Deity t.
all his creatures, and wherever there i
a conflict of scriptural or theological
doctrines, we will hold this to be th'
article of faith that stands supreme
above all others.
And lastly, we kno,c, that whethe1
we agree precisely in these or any othe
articles of belief, we can meet in Chris
tian charity, and fellowship, in that W.
all agree in the love of our race, ane
the worship of a common Father, a

AVOIDING THE RESPONSIBILITY
Brother Noel was "sore troubled" al
the scandal Brother Crump brought
upon himself by drinking too much,
and especially regretted the injury il
brought to society at Sharon. So one
morning he stepped over to brother
Crump's and found the old man in 8
doze in the little porch. a ls9
"Won't you take dram?', Asked
Brother Crump, as soon as he was
made aware of the presence of his
neighbor, "Why, yes, Fam not agir
dram when body wants it.
Brother Crump got his bottle, and
the friends took dram each. "Don',
you think, brother Noel" said Crump
" that sperits is blessin? %
eyes," replied Noel, "sperits is q
blessiE' that someof us abuse" "Well
now, brother Noel, who do you think
abuses the blessin %
Well, it is hard to say-but people
talk-don't you think that you drink 8
little too much, Brother Crump?" Ell
is hard to say" returned Crump
Sometimes I've thought was drink
in too much, and then again I'd think
maybe not. What is man? A wcal
aoorrum Of the dust? So / left it toe
the Lord to say whether was goin
too far in sperits. put the whole
'sponsibility on him l prayed eff / was
a drinkin' too much, for him to take
away my appetite for sperits. I'vs
prayed that prayer three times, and ht
hain't done it. So I'm clear of the
'sponsibility, anyway"
