A HOME OF YOUR OWN.

Good Advice to a Young Married Couple.
Case I'm Point.
One of the very first things that a young
married couple should think of, is the getting
of home of their own; n house which is
theirs ito have and to hold" for lifetime, il
possible; one that shall be to their children a
place around which all their youthful men,
ories gather, and bring glow to their hearts,
no matter what may come to them in after
years; one in which each room will, in pro-
cess Of time, become endeared through its
associations. 1t may seem far away in the
distance at first, but persistent thought and
effort in that direction will bring it to pass In
time, and much sooner than at first seemed
probable. Necessity or expediency may
make renting the only thing to do for a sea-
son, but l still adhere to the opinion that it is
the truest economy and highest wisdom to
get a home of your own at the earliest mo-
ment that you can make it practicable.
These peripatetic people have rarely much
OF value that they can call their own, for in
the very nature Of things they could not
have. The family lack the sense of perma-
nency In regard to a home which is always
50 desirable, and especially when people are
upon the down hill side of life. While young
and vigorous, with brains busy with what is
going on in the world, its absence Is not felt
SO much, but the day must come when the

the waning strength from purely outside
matters and center within the home, and it
is then that the heart longs for and is best
satisfied with what long habit has made dear
and familiar.
Another thing is true. Your expenditures
are much more likely to be carefully looked
after if you have such an object in view. 1
know a couple who boarded for some years
after their marriage, then rented house and
went to housekeeping. They lived up to
every cent of their income though never
running in debt. Finally they concluded to
have a home of their own, and took advan-
tage of the installment plan; that is, they
had house built for them by persons who
mako that sort of thing their business, gave
a mortgage upon it to secure the builder,
and paid for it in monthly installments.
The undertaking caused a complete change
In their way Of living. Without being mig
gardly, they looked closely after expenses,
and found that they could enjoy life just as
well ever, and even better because they
had definite object in view which absorbed
their thoughts. and for which they were plan
ming from day to day. They so without
many little luxuries TO which they were ac-
customed, but they do not feel the depriva-
ton in the comfort they take in what is to be
really home, not just simply n temporary
place to live in-Cor. Toledo Blade

The main features of the entertainment
we're the drill of the commanderies and the
concert. 1t is only necessary to say that the
music was conducted by Col T. S. Gilmore,
our own Patrick. There is only one p S. in

the sound of sackbut and cymbals, of drum

fuss there were sixty bass drums and 200

There is considerable wild guessing as to the
number ON the ground that day. The crowd
was estimated 10y each gueSser at from 40, 600

temperament. But it was great day any
how. The sights that called up most admira-
ton We're the representations of a Greek cross
and PaSSionist cross, formed by the evolu-
tions of snme of the communicates in their
prize drill exhibitions. The figures are in

The parades of the knights Templar form
some of the rare occasions when a man may

of the privilege with alacrity. Once every

India, Rosicrucians and Christian knights
have alike employed them.

Pious aud Sensible Monks.

There Is a certain monastery in Spain
where the fat and unctuous friars and lay
brothers perform such feats in the way of
cooking and eating as make one think OF the

thence through pierced wooden reservoirs,

petually; the help that we need to rise
from the grossness of life in mere self
to the refinement of life in God.
For this high end we are endowed
with capability of nature. Our being
is designed for the attainment of this
nobility and this happiness in charac-
ter. This all is illustrated in Christ
in the exalted life that he lived, and in
the spirit which he still imparts to help
our infrmity, as we aim and strive for
perfect life. The character of our Mas
ter is the standard for the trial of our
character and so by him we are judged,
and to his plane we must rise; for to
this end he devoted his being, that he
might thus exalt the world. Our des-
tiny will never be complete till we aim
for this sublime estate, and strive for it
with all our power, and attain to it as
the supreme satisfaction of our being.

and accounted for.
The story concerning the adoption of
the Winchester Profession OF Belief is

Erskine, associated in tradition with the
adoption of the Profession, are given as
cleaned from the original records of the
Courts and the manuscript of the Judges
decisions.
The story of the Restorationist Contro-
versy is told in full, from the incipient
movement in 1917, to the elimination of
the controversy by the disbanding of the
Restorationist Association in 1841.

A NOTABLE ARTICLE.

A notable article bearing upon eschatology
appeared editorially in the Cincinnati Com
nlercfat Gazette, on 4th page, Oct. 80, 1886.
Notable, LIST, That SO eminent secular paper
discusses it. I'd, That radical Orthodoxy
and radical Universalism is alike antagonized.
3D., That the Restorationistic views are main
tanned. The article discusses the logical ne
cessity of future retribution as a sequence of
resurrection. 1t maintains as an Injustice
the orthodox belief making death an instant
and final division of mankind into two parts,
the one consigned to level heaven of the
blest, the other consigned to level hell of
eternal torment" and "the Universalistic ir
nationality of one blessed state for good
and bad alike;" and "the theory of death
which plunges good and bad alike in the
same moral chaos of bliss" The article rec
ognizes in express words that future retribu-
ton and a possibility of restoration by
serving out the just penalty" of earthly trans
gressions are consistent with supreme justice
and supreme love. The tendency of relig-
ious thought seems in the restorationistic
direction.

ExPosIToRY: JOHN XVIII, 80.

There is passage in John xviii, 81 that
seems little obscure. PLATE asked Jesus if
he were the king of the Jews. The question
was ambiguous. 1t might be understood in
at least two different ways; and the answer
would be affirmative or negative, according
to the sense of the question. This is why
Jesus did not answer directly, but tried to
ascertain the meaning of the question before
he gave his answer. So he says to PLATE,
"Sayest thou this of myself, or did others tell
it thee concerning me?" This PLATE did not
understand, but seems to have taken it as an
insult. Jesus failing to get an answer from
Phate, felt it safe at least to add, ''My king
dom is not of this world" It was the same
as saying, ~ am king of the Jews; but only
in moral or spiritual sense" Surely such
king could do no harm to Caesar or to PLATE.

THE WORDS of ABRAHAM LINCOLN
on the relations of labor and capital are
interesting at the present time. They
are as sound and true now as when Mr..
Lincoln penned them in his first an
nual message. He then said: There is
''no such relation between capital and Ia
"bor as assumed, nor is there any such
"thing as free man being fixed for life
sin the condition of a hired laborer.
"Both these assumptions are false and
sail differences from them are ground
"less. Many independent men every
where in these States a few years
'back in their lives were hired laborers.
1.-THE prudent, penniless beginner in the
"world labors for wages awhile, saves
"a surplus with which to buy tools or
LAND for himself, then labors on his
Gown account another while, and at
''length hires another new beginner to
"help him. This is the just and generous
"and prosperous system which opens
1.-The way to all, gives hope to all, and
consequent energy and progress and
improvement of condition to ALL"

SUNDAY SCHOOL HARMoNIEs NO. 8.

The Assistant Superintendent of the
Church of Our Father, Detroit, Mich, of
which Rev. DR.. Rexford is pastor, writes,
Nov. IL, to the Western Branch as fol-
lows:
"We want one hundred and twenty five
copies of Sunday school Harmonies No.
3, for use on Sunday next. The book has
been thoroughly examin ed together with
several other publications) by our Com
mittee, and we think it is by far the best
work we have ever seen. The idea OF the
publishers to issue new ones from time to
time, similar in form, is also an excellent
plan"
The third number of Sunday-school
Harmonies has already met with a large
sale, and is now in many of our Sunday
schools. 1t has been prepared by Prot.
Veazie, of Chelsea, Mass, the musical
director of the public schools of that city
and also we'll known as Universalist.
We have given the number careful ex-
animation and can recommend it as in all
respects equal to Nos. and 2, which have
been received with great favor by the
best judges OF music in our church. No.
8 is rich in music for special occasions.
For Christmas it contains the martial and
stirring, Sound the Battle Cry" by VIM.

REV. j. K. STREET, of Dallas, Texas,
records in Streets Monthly, his i'm
pressions of our late General Conven-
ton, in the following manner Our
visit impressed us with two important
ideas l. Our ministers are earnest,
practical men, Jealous of good works,
full of real enjoyment, their faces be-
ing free from that sour look which be-
ing "over-righteous much" is apt to
produce, and which is observable in
other religious bodies. 2. The empha-
sis which the Convention gave to mis-
sion work, and to the temperance cause,
shows that the Universalist church is
eminently aggressive, and this gives
evidence of that vitality and strength
which shall yet make it greater factor
in the victorious work which lies in the
future for a practical and reasonable
Christianity.

BIGoTRY FLEEs BEFORE LIGHT.

What do you think, Br. Editor, of the fol-
lowing: A few weeks ago death came to one
of our most excellent Presbyterian preachers
of this city, Mr.. Rogers, who had preached
about fifty years. He was a member of our
Ministers Alliance We have been intimate
for years, but you know, according to public
verdict, t.e writer is hereto, and Mr.. Rog-
ers one of the elect but when he died his son
came to get me to act as one of the pail bear
ers and to select five other clergymen to assist
in this service, which was done. While away
at the Convention, the following letter came
from Rev. Mr.. Schaff, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Kansas City, and
President of the Alliance, and son of Dr.
Philip Schaff, Chairman of the Committee
on Revision of the New Testament:
"My Dear Mr.. Hull: Father Rogers has
gone to his heavenly home. 1 am sorry 1
was not here at the time of the funeral, and
regret now that did not call upon the good
man oftener. We all regard you even more
kindly than we otherwise should on account
of your brotherly attentions to him in his
hour of weakness. AS President of the Ali
ance, l would ask you to prepare suitable
resolutions on the death of Br Rogers, and
present them at the first meeting of the ALI
ance, Oct. 4th. With kind regards,
j. S. SoHAFF.
Now, is not this remarkable, even in this
age of charity-in this city of churches, with
perhaps a hundred preachers, that they
should pass by all the rest, even the one who
attended the funeral, and call upon a Uni
versalist to perform this service of love?

"IT's NOT so. I"

When | was little girl father took the

remember two verses of piece of poetry
that was in one of them. The author do
not remember, but will write as near as can
remember:
Tell me not all friends are faithless.
Friendships but an idle Jest;
Tell me not that fasehood dwelleth
In all hearts welcome guest.
It's not SO. I'll ne'er believe it.
Some are false but more are true;
Doubt not for the sake of doubling
Give to every man his cue.
Tell me not that death will sever
Friend from friend and heart from heart
That within the eternal mansions
There's home for only part.
It's not so. I'll ne'er believe it.
Links may from the earth chain fall,
But within the Fathers bosom
There is room for one and all.
