A CARD TO THE PUBLIC,

GIFT Concert,


GIFT Concert.
As manager oi the gift concerts given
in aid OF the Public Library OF Kentucky
my position creates an important trust in
bahAlt OF the public Library and the
ticket holders of the fifth gilt concert
The Public Library of Kentucky and The
ticket holders arc Jointly Interested in The
amount Of the drawing. The larger The
fund TO be distributed in gifts, the greater
will be the gltt awarded 10 each lucky
ticket holder and the more the amount
realized by the Library. 10 have iulI
drawing is 80 maniiestly 10 the interest OF
those interested, that, rather than have a
fractional drawing on the Both inst, |
deem It due to the trust confided to me bv
the ticket holders and the Public Library
OF Kentucky, that short postponement
be made to enable me to dispose Of the
the unsold tickets and have full draw
ing Though the very large amount now
in bank would enable us TO distribute
handsome gifts yet we should feel disap-
pointed in this our last concert, should
we be compelled 10 make a fractional
drawing, however large.
We have received SO very large q num-
ber of letters from all parts OF The coun-
try from those most largely interested
urging postponement if all the tickets
be not sold by the 30th, that we ieel
strengthened in our sense OF duty 10 the
ticket holders and the Public Library. 10
make the postponement. Under the cir
cumstances, we have determined, in the
interest OF all parties, to postpone The
concert and drawing 10 Saturday, Febru.
ary eth, 1875, at which time the drawing
will positively take place; and, as a quar-
antee of good faith toward ticket holders,
wepledge ourselves to refund 10 sny tick.

his ticket, should the drawing fail 10 come

feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee
to all interested that they will be fairly

WIN, the unIvcr.all,,s Believe.

What the UnIvcrsalists Believe.
From Sermon last Sunday In New York by
Rev. Il. h. Nye.l
We believe that God will render unto
every man according 10 his deeds. We
arc represented as denying the doctrine
Of retribution, or holding that men will
be saved from the punishment of their
sins. We believe that punishment will
not be eternal. God Furnishes for restraint
and correction, and endless punishment,
therefore is contradiction in terms. End
less punishment would be entirely use
less. 1t could not, OF course, benefit
God, nor the ange's. nor the saved; snd as
for the lost it would but sink them deep
er and deeper into the gull. We deny,
therefore, with all the energy that is in
us, that just and merciIul God will in
tltct punishment without mercy and end,
At the same time we insist that the evil
doer cannot escape from the consequence
Of his evil deeds. No man is wholly vile.
No man is wholly free from sin. We all
do both good and evil. And for every act
we do, every thought we think, every al.
lection we cherish, according to the laws
of our spiritual being and OF the spiritual
world in which we dwell, God gives and
will give US in perfect justice and love
an adequate and certain reward. Hence,
whatever judgment we pronounce when
we look on things external there is moth
ing but evil in Elm, and there is not, can
not bO any peace ITO the wicked" There
arc Universalists who limit all punish.
ment TO this life, but they do not teach
that men are saved by physical death, or
by release from the body are perfected
in holiness and love. They maintain that
when the flesh, with It's lusts and pas
sions, dies, new light breaks in upon the
soul as 1t enters upon the immortal state,
which secures spontaneous penitence, and
the soul is subdued 10 God. Others hold
that we begin tho next lie on the same
round of the ladder on which we stand
at death, and hencelorward that there Is
progress from bad to good, and good TO
better, onward and forever. For myself,
l believe in positive punishment for Sin
In tho coming lie, maintaining that we
are to labor hero so that, whether present
or absent, We may be accepted OF God.
But while we differ upon these questions,
as men do where freedom OF thought eX-
lists, we are as united as any Church, Our
affirmation Is that all punishment Is pa
rental in aim and spirit, limited in dura-
ton and degree, and that God will finally
consummatO His plans in the blessedness
and perfection ot all souls. That Is Uni
VersRliSm, and neither the belief In future
punishment, nor the belief that punish
ment 10 confined TO this life, constitutes,
In any sense, the faith OF our Church.
