SOME uNIyERsALIsr DOCTRINES.

congregation, at Tallmadge Hail, yesterday
morning. upon the topic, "Did Christ come INTO

He selected for his text, Titus II, IA "who gave

doctrine upon this subject which our times cspo

and now. The answer tnat has generally been
given, and which suppose seven.eighths OF the
Christian world would give to-day, is, He came to
save us from eternal punishment In hell, to which
by ain the race have become exposed. The
answers to tho question differ very
widely, and much depends upon which
answer we adopt. Much, not only 50 far

The announcement that the distinguished
and scholarly divine, Rev. DR.. Bellows, would
preach yesterday morning, served to crowd the
Unitarian Church to overhowing. Dr. b. preached
from Romans 1, 20; "For the invisible things Of
Him from the creation of the world arc clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even His etarnal power and Godhead." He
said, "hith Is oitA held up as something inde-

Medium-Two Women In Pants.
DR.. Tallmadge Taylor addressed his little
flock Of independent thinkers, at Masonic Temple
last evening, on the subject Of evolution" At the
close OF his remarks, Mrs. Maxon, a "splrlt me.
dium," was introduced, and being placed in
front Of the audience on the platform
went into trance, and made remarks while in
that condition. 1t was claimed that she was un.
der the influence of the spirit Of Lorenzo Dow.
Her talk was addressed chiefly to women, and
her subject was the responsibility OF women IN
raising children. As she talked her eyes were
closed, and she scarcely moved her head
or turned 10 the right or left. The
audience had to take tho word Of the
medium that II was Lorenzo Dow who was
speaking through her. Many of those present,
who were attracted to the hall by the announce
ment that there would be q 5Cdhce, conducted by
celebrated medium, were disappointed.
One Of the features Of the evening was the ap-
pearance In the hall of two females, both Of whom
wore biiureated garments. One was DR.. Mary
and the other was Mrs. Tillotson, of New Jersey.
DR.: Mary and blrs. T. spent considerable time
looking at each other and sncerng at the Mt of
each others pants. Dr. Mary holds her pants u D
by strap, while Mrs. Tilofson hooks hers over
her shoulders. The absence of anything like o
coat-tail or tunlc was quite noticeable about Mrs
Tlllotson. She wore sort of cloak, that curved
on from her neck, reaching below the elbows, and
making her look like an umbrella.
