UNIVERSAL SALVATION.

The recsnt editorial in the Christian Union
favoring the views Of the Universalists as to
tho ultimate salvation Of mankind has awaken
ed much discussion. Recently the Adcance, Of
this city, expressed the opinion that, So far as
our acquaintance extends, those ministers and
churches that fully accept the ultimate and bind
ing authority OF the New Testament firmly hold
the doctrine Of endless punishment. We are
not aware OF any considerable exceptions amoag
the churches OF this country"
To this the Rev. Dr.. W. h. Ryder, OF this
city, takes exception, in the most vigorous mad
ner, in communication published in the Ne7o
Conenant Dr.. Ryder says:
We do not want to be discourteous, but we ind It
difficult 10 characterize ths statement II It deserves
md not be. Fur the imperduence Of any such
ptetension only equaed by tue faiaity Of tue i'm
preston is intended to make. It ia simply not true
knows this as well as any onc tint the ministers and
churches that reject the tenet OF endless misery also
reject toe New Testament al binding and ultimate
authority. He ACCUSES his brethren w1ongfuly, and
mistakes what from personal knowledge lie knows
be their opinions The Unlyersalist Cauzch Of Amer
lea accept the New Testament ultimate and 1Iud-
ing authority. AZ heartily and rev. vsrenty any exist
ing Protestant sect. and they certainly do not believe
in endless misery. And the ia true Of thousands

millions, OF e1ues: Christians in this country and in
Europe. They do not hnd the doctrine of endless
misery in the Bible. and believe It's teaching in this
RESPECT has been nisapprehen6cd. While, therefore,
they reject this Interpretation Of the teaching Of
Lord they cling with more tender sympathy to His
gracious words, that the conviction Of the
is in record with the lore Of the soul.
Finally, desire to call tho attention OF the editor
Of the Adraee to the fact that the doctrine Of endless
misery, generally held By the Cainistfc churches Of
New England, ii not now and never was the faith Of
Christendom- New England C4lvinsm with its horrid
conceptions Of material torment and assnging God
simply proynctaiis, never the accepted belief OF
the great body Of the cnrastiau Church. our brother

There are some evidences Of the advance OF
