A Significant Scene.

In one of the Fulton Street Prayer-meetings
recently the remark was made, that under
strong spiritual moving believers countenance
will sometimes seem to shine as with heavenly
light and the question was asked of those
present: Did you ever see a Christians face 80
shine from spiritual Joy 2" One of the frequent
ers of the meeting sends his testimony to what
was to him a striking instance of such illumina-
ton, which took place few years ago in that
very room. George Muller and j. c.. Lanphier
are men of God whose spirit and whose methods
OF work have much in common. They were
pioneers In the peculiar, phase of faith work
which character -es our day During many
years in which they had prosecuted their labors
OF love'on opposite sides of the Atlantic, they
had known of and been greatly drawn in heart
toward each other, and had reioiced in one an
others work and been strengthened by it, But
they had never met. At length the veteran
phllanthropist came to this country on an evan
gelstic tour. One of the first places he visited
was the Fulton Street Prayer meeting. And
there, on that consecrated platform, for the first
time those supplemented and consecrated SER
wants of Christ beheld each other in the flesh
Our informant was present as they stood at last
face to face, and hand clasping hand looking
into each others eyes as if to catch the welcome
and to read the features Of the inner spirit
And, he goes on to say, it was Just at this
point that ] observed that shining CLEAN which
lily moved upon by the Divine Spirit certain
ly, | had never beheld so clear and bright and
spiritual light upon any human faces" The
fact thus recorded is one we'll worthy to be
noted, as a contribution to what may be called
the physical phenomena of the Christian life.
and as illustrating in measure such striking
incidents as the face of Moses shining as he
came down from the Mount and even the
countenance at times of Him in whom we shine
as lights in the world.
Still more does such scene give us a vivid
and very real apprehension of the meetings
which are in reserve for Gods faithful ones in
the next world. Perhaps they have been
divided from each by wide oceans, or by CEN
turtles Of time. But they have been one in Christ
by the work of faith, the labor Of love and the
patience ofhope comrades and, as it were. con-
temporaries in Him who is the same Yesterday.
to-day and forever. And as they at last meet
face to face on the heavenly shore and in the
radiance Of the Throne, all heaven shall silently
admire the Joyous light Of divine recognition.
which this world at its most celestial moments
knows not OF. 1t will be one of the rays which
enter into the white light Of heaven, by reason
OF which 1t needeth no candle neither light of
the sun. And when we think Of all the blessed
company Of faithful and shining ones with whom
we may, In Gods infinite mercy, be permitted
to sit down, and to know even as we are known,
our hearts are ravished with the Joy set before

Department of the Russian War Office to inves-

"A UNITARIAN CoNFEssIoN.-Lat
ly, at theaNovember meeting of the Unita-
ran Club of ministers and laymen in Boston
Rev. George Ellis, D. D., read a very remark
able paper, remarkable for what 1t confesses
and also for what it requires In the strongest
language, which this distinguished scholar and
historian OF the Unitarian denomination could
select, he declared that if the book called the
Bible be admitted to be the Word of God from
beginning to end, then it teaches orthodoxy and
nothing else. 1t is an orthodox book" Moth
thing but ingenuity, unfairness and forcing of
meanings can make it teach the liberal theology
DR.. Ellis asserts that liberals do thus force the
plain meanings to support their theories, and he
spares them not for so doing And this eminent
Unitarian preacher, author, and historian asserts
1t to be his full conviction that in the opening
of this century the Uritarians were worsted in
the battle with the orthodox
The true position for the Unitarians, Dr. Ell
lis says, is that the Bible is not inspired.
