always preach, tlr.t there il much
COED in al the churches, and that
they are doing good, and fhat the
kood they do is Cl ristianity.
= But would ask, is this bitter per-
nedutiug, sectarian spirit, this holy
pharisaism that holds off . brother

Agan he says, SWhen we re . fat

Of this, ofcoarse, = to- prejudice the
populsr miAd s1aiBst Universalism.
Suppose that some man, calling
himaelf I universalist, should get
drunk, does that prove that the doc

another Of seduction. Universalism

Again he says, "They do not be-

Of the Old Tsstanent, and say that il
has no more authority than any other
book" From this infer that our

ual life. / fear Brother Akers was
not in . good humor when he made |
The above charge. Again he says,
'sThey do not believe in . personal

l am sure that it would be in6delity |
in me not to believe that slander and
falsehood are inspired by IN evil spir. |
il. As to he'll, Universalists believe
in he'll that grows out Of Z sinful
act; but they do not believe in the
old fashioned hell that generated the
power thet ran camp meetings and
sevivals, nor do the most intelligent
of the Methodist clergy believe it.
Rev Mr.. Grass, 4 populhS Methodist
minister of New York, = reported in
the Nv York San, says:s "Hsll ere

the salne meetings said: 81 Affirm
most dsoidedly that he'll, dsmnation,
or the mention Of hell does not ad-
vance the interests Of our Lord and
