into New England, preaching in Newport
Providence, Boston, and many other
places, reaching Portsmouth in the Spring
of IVA, where an invitation to pastor
ate was declined His first visit to Glou-
cester was on the third of November,
IVA. A society was here organized Jan.
l, 1879, and church built in 1850.
Meantime, three other preachers had arisen
independent of Mr.. Murray namely : Adj
am Streeter, Caleb Rich, and Thomas
Rich. Elder Rich was ordained "as min
lister of the united Societies Of Warwick,
Richmond, and Jaffrey," the former town
being in Massachusetts, and the latter two
in New Hampshire, not earlier, probably,
than 1880, and possibly as late as 1871.
At about the same time, close Of II SO, the
Rev. Elhanan Winchester, then in Phil
adelphia, became Universalist, and, by
his eminent abilities and popular address,
achieved great success, rivaling, prehaps
in public favor, the distinguished Murray
himself.
Thirty years from the beginning of Mr..
Murray's labors here, that is, in 1901,
there were but twenty-five preachers of
Universalism in all our land dozen
years later-1S13-there were 40. Com
ing down 81 years, to 1s4O, about half
way to our time, there were four hundred
and sixty-three. Now there are probably
six hundred and fifty, with more than
1000 parishes. Nor does this increase in
the number of our clergy show our real
increase in strength. Our lists, latterly,
have been more closely pruned our par
ishes have been greatly strengthened; our
bases of operations have been fortified !;
our clergy have made great advance in
"devising liberal things" and our laity,
possessing far greater wealth, and holding
far higher positions than formerly, respond
more nobly, and with greater alacrity, to
the far-sighted demands now so frequent
ly made upon them. There are scores oil
our parishes, in the various sections ofoul
Zion, any one of which can now be moved
to greater work, for worthy object
out side of its own interests, than could
our whole Church, 25 years ago.

The landing Of Murray on the New
Jersey shore marks new era in the MIS-
tory of Universalism. A short, shrewd
man, genial and companionable, with large
abilities and quick wit, deeply devotional
in spirit, tempered and disciplined by sor-
row, firm in faith and as persistent as the
sun, he was well fitted to awaken an in
terest it the new cause. The few flashes
of Gospel light that had proceeded his
comming, in the teachings of DR.. George
DeBenneville ofGermantown, Penn, the
Rev. Richard Clark of Charleston, s. c.,
DR., jonathan Mayhem of Boston, and
possibly some others, especially sect of
Baptists in Pennsylvania, had illumined
apparently few minds, and quickened the
germs of faith in few hearts. The col
onies were vast wilderness of theological
error. The spirit of liberty, however, i'm
tcnsifed by our revolutionary difficulties,
prepared the way for a favorable hearing
in quarters which would otherwise have
been inaccessible. During the FIRST three
years of Mr. Murray's ministry, from
September, ITO, to October, 1918, he
preached in New York and Philadelphia,
and in the regions between those cities.
At the latter date, he made an excursion

important Decision.

Insurance companies get very little
sympathy from courts, and generally find
it to their advantage to settle rather than
defend a suit There is no doubt, how
ever, that they save paying many fraud
ulont claims by a determined resistance
in the courts. The Equitable Life Insus-
ance Company of New York recently de-
clined to pay IA policy Of $4,000 on the
life Of a man who received injuries while
in an intoxicated condition which finally
resulted in death. The company claimed
that the application Of the insured was
false, as it contained written warrant
that he was not addicted to the use of in
toxicating liquors, and that If the fact
that the insured was habitually ntemper-
ate had been known to the company it
would not have issued him a policy. The
court decided that the application or war;
rant was aflirmatory and not promissory
and that it had reference only to the
time of its issues and that the fact that
the insured came to his death subsequent
ly while intoxicated did not invaidate the
claim, any more than if he had died Of u
disease which was not contracted at the
time his application was made.

That the Pope will lose in the near ln-
ture what little Of temporal sovereignty
he now possesses, is hardly matter of
question. The Italian troops already oc.
cupy his territory, and the people will
undoubtedly vote by u large majority for
annexation to Italy. The Papal States
now have an area Of only $4,000 square
miles, with a population of 723,l2l, of
of whom over, 100000 are in the city of
Rome. In 1859 they comprised an area
of over $1,000 square miles, with pop
ulation of over. 3,000,000 but this has
been gradually reduced by annexation to
Italy, which is now ready to accept tho
remaining territory. The origin of the
temporal power Of the Pope dates back
over eleven centuries, and it may be hard
for Plus TX. to rslinquish such venerable
rights, but the church will doubtless ac-
quiesce as gracefully as possible in the
inevitable.

"What this change is to be we do not

A French rival to Ward and Burge
vine has been developed in China by the
war against the Mohammedan rebels, and
he bids fair to share with them the admi-
ration and perhaps the worship of the
Chinese as Saviour Of the Empire. He
has stayed and turned the tide Of Moslem
invasion of the Flowery Kingdom in
remarkably romantic manner. Rumors
of the frequent losses of the Imperialists
were exciting considerable attention at
the ports open to foreign trade, when it
occurred to an intelligent adventurer
named Mourens that he had here an op-
portunity of reaping certain fame and pos
sible fortune by offering his services to-
the dismaycd and dishearted officials
More modest than Ward or Burgevine,
he made no attempt to get command, but
simply proposed to work q small field
piece, which he supposed would be most
effective against troops to whom field ar
tillery was unknown. Joined by Greek
of equally adventurous disposition, he
procured field-piece and small arms,
with supply of grape and cambridge; and
joined the Chinese armies. Advices
from the neighborhood of the last battles
fought between the Mohammedans and
Imperialists attribute the success Of the
latter entirely to the Kai h,oa pas, or
"blowing flowers cannon" of NJ. Mourens.
