Editor Nebraska Advertiser,

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
A few weeks ago you Published some
correspondence between Elder Cory
ell and Rev w. p. Shockey, regard
ing proposed debate between them
as to the mooted question of endless
punishment. / am not writing at
present to discuss that matter, but to
say that in my opinion Mr.. Coryell's
excuse, given, for refusing 10 meet Mr..
Shockey, is pretty thin" So far as
l have heard, this is the general opin-
ion amongst "outsiders," and to some
extent in the churches. including that
which Mr.. Coryell represents.
Mr.. Coryell knows, or ought to
know, that although Universalism is
without organization here and in
mary places, yet Uniyersalists, or
those of the various beliefs, unortho.
dox, who agree that future eternal
punishment is a myth, are very nu-
merOus, and need light, if they are in
darkness, no difference whether they
belong to church organization. oil
society, or not. But Mr.. Coryell re.
fuses TO let his light shine-he prefers
to keep it hid, fOrsooth, because Mr.
Shockey is the only Universalist
preacher in Nebraska! Now, that,
certainly is most flimsy pretext. I,
and others, think the true reason is,
that Mr.. G. nor any of the Elders, are
intellectually and educationally able
to cope with Mr.. Shockey in Biblical
discussion, and they appreciate the
fact. In other words. they fear to
meet ShOckey face to face before an
intelligent and critical audience.
Your correspondent, Mr.. Editor,
does not believe either Coryell's oil
Shockey's doctrines, fully, but is a
FREE THINKER.

With Merry ChristmasP' in their sleep;
And dream about the Christmas-tree;
Or rise, their stockings filled to see,
Swift come the hours of JOY and cheer,
OF loving friend and kindred dear;
OF gifts and bounties in the air,
Sped by the merry Christmasr prayer.
While through 1t all, so sweet and strong.
Is heard the holy angels song:

On earth be peace and helpful lovel"
