DELIGHTS OF THE SEA.

The Poetry Of An Ocean Voyage Not At
tainable In Steamship Travelling.
Indeed, it is impossible to view a
sailing vessel from the deck of swift
steamer without appreciating the tray-
cling public's leaning toward the pro-
peller. Let the scene be the Bay of
Biscay, and both vessels homeward
bound There is little wind, but a
heavy northwest swell is running, and
passengers who have lived down the
memory of the passage of Cape Horn
grow pale again to this Biscayan inter-
lude. Their steamer is, however, rap
idly dividing the giant swell with a
stem that shears through the liquid
hills at speed of fourteen nautical
miles an hour, and the yellowcst of the
passengers may comfort his seasick
soul by considering that he will be in
port, at hotel, in his own home, in so
many hours as surely as if the marine
vehicle that thrashes him through it
were Flying Scotchman or Wild
Irishman. Now, take the contrast
provided by yonder large ship, foun-
dering mile away on the beam there
amid the foamless hollows through
which the steamer RACES like thunder
storm. She is already eighty four
days out from Melbourne. Were the
pounding, the shoveling, the whistling
below to cease for a moment or two,
one might hear the heavy cannonading
of those heavy topsails shifting the
mast and bellying out again with the
weary drunken lurches of the ship,
vexed by the sulky swinging of the
swell. ''There she lay, all in the bay"
There she has lain perhaps for two
days before the steamer fled past, and
there she may lie for another twenty
four hours before a north northwest
wind blows down upon her to put her
under lower topsails and steady her
''ratching" away to the westward with
her head pointing for Newfoundland.
Are not her passengers, like Mariana
in ''the moated grange" awearyp
Very possibly, for who, after VOYAGE
of even fortnight. feels not
slightly tired of his ship when he is
within few miles of home? Yet this
hardship of detention has not in reality
the severity which it may carry in the
opinion of those who are rushing past
the becalmed ship in steamer. Yonder
passengers may recall enjoyments de-
MED to those who have been carclessly
swept along their liquid course-the
fragrant calm of the tropics. the night
full of silver light, the sense of cx-
quisite repose which, as an interval in
the giddy and warning life of man,
seems as needful to him as sleep after
the labor of the day; or the dainty
blowing of wind that fans the white
clouded ship along as softly as the
reflection of star rides upon the brow
of swell; or the wind gale. full of
and terror. with the seas heav-
ing in snow, to the black low-hying
scud, and the brave ship defying the
elemental powers with scornful glid-
ings from thunderous base to flashing
peak, and wild, derisive laughter in
her rigging. These are among the de-
lights the ocean yields to those who
love it.-BOstOn Post.

Escape Of Sam Starr.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Sept. 24.-Belle
Starr returned yesterday from her home
on the Canadian river, Indian Territory,
where she went to see her husband, Sam
Starr, who had been wounded and capt

got there she found that Sam had es.

he was not hurt as bad as he pretended to
be, and on the day of his escape told his

taking his pistol, walked out of the house

CHURCH PEWS.

After many years discussion, the
church pew question remains still un-
decided in the minds of men. There
are those who believe that the system
of renting pews offers simple and
easy way of meeting church expenses,
and is convenient to trustees and parish
committees who are charged with the
duty of seeing that funds are secured.
A large expense must be met some
how that is settled. Those who have
had experience with general collections
know how hard it is to get money that
way. 1t is a warm, genial day when
the hat that has been sent around on a
collecting tour comes back with quar-
ter of the funds needed and asked for.
Most people who attend church reg
ularly like to occupy the same pew al
ways they like to feel that they have
a right to it, and nothing so cOmforta-
bly, assures this right as the fact that
the pew has been paid for. Paying for
what is got is the custom among indie
pendent people in America, and the
principle of it applies as well to church
pews themselves as to the dry goods
and jewelry that are worn therein.
Free churches are an old country idea,
where it is said the rich maintain them
in order to keep the poor cOntented.
On the other hand there are many
advocates of free pews. The auction or
tax business causes classes in churches,
divides up congregations, and cOols
friendly enthusiasm. There are many
churches now, many rival denOmina-
tions, and each must fight for its pros
porous existence. 1t is no longer, as of
old, essential to respectability to be an
attendant on public worship. There is
much entertaining reading and public
speaking outside of the church, and
where a church has not an attractive
preacher, it's pews are with great diff
Guilty kept rented and filled. A sign
may be stuck out at the door that ''all
are welcome" !" but that does not bring
in outsiders, who have the notion that

coined. See how slim are the church
congregations, and see how people flock
to public hall to hear common talk
er, humbug though he may be. They
feel that they are at home there, that
they have the same right as any one
else to be there. Some good men say
churches should be not only free, but
should be less fine and costly; that they
should be meeting houses, for use not
as churches are now used, one day in
seven, and then closed up cold and dark
and tight, but every day and for all
sorts of useful purposes, such as lee
lures, politics, entertainments, etc. If
the capital locked up in expensive
church buildings were used in employ
ing good preachers at decent salaries,
and providing good music and other at
fractions, the churches would succeed
better in their work of doing good

1t is the nearly unanimous practice
to judge our fellows by the rule of self
consistency. We say, They profess this;
they do that. The two positions are not
consistent: there is hypocrisy. But it
may be doubted whether this is a fair
Judgment of human motive AS criti-
cism of conduct it is just. We do right
to point out the discrepancy between
word and deed. In this way the actor is
enlightened and perhaps disciplined.
Mems Inconsistencies are less appar-
ent to themselves than to others. To
exhibit the looped and windowed ragged
ness OF their character is to afford them
the means of repairing it.
But it does not follow that those who
are inconsistent are insincere. The truth
is, symmetry of character is a difficult
and exceedingly rare attainment; and
only those who have made great progress
III the high school of moral proportion
are aware of the disagreement between
the parts they play at different times.
Men respond to the solicitations of the
life around them with perfect sincerity
at the moment; but on looking over even
days doings it is seen that much OF
their movement was out of proportion
with the rest. We once knew a perfectly
sincere man who read daily journals rep
resenting three different and hostile par
ties. 1t was noticeable that he changed
his politics several times a week. Some
times this editor had him: sometimes
that. In a degree this is true of all bat
the strongest men-of all who are not
firmly and intelligently established in
conviction.

DISCOVERIES AT ZOAN.

Zoan was the seat of the Pbaroah of
Joseph, the scene of the miracles of
Moses, being situated in that pastoral
district, which in the hierOglyphic rec
ords, as well as in the Hebrew Chroni-
cles, bore the name of ''the field of
Zoan ;" and which, under its classical
name of Tanis, continued 80 late as the
times of the Ptolemies to play an i'm
portant part in the history of the an
cient world. 1t was the chief city of
the Delta during the most interesting
two Or three thousand years of Egyp-
tian history; it owed much of its splen-
dor to Rameses H., who restored and
built here upon a scale of extraordinary
magnifcence - the king when the
Egyptians made the children of Israel
to serve with rigOr."
AT San are the remains of city once
hardly inferior in grandeur to Thebes
itself, while about it, as the capital of
the Hyksos or Shepherd Kings, as the
ZOan of the Bible and the Tanis of the
Greeks, centers a sacred interest and
an historical value peculiarly its own,
Here, to Illustrate the gigantic masonry
of the place, Mr.. Petrie disclosed the
broken portions of the greatest of all
colossi known to man the MOnOlith OF
Rameses II.
Among the labors, discoveries, or re-
suits at San, have been the successive

WHAT UNIVERSALISM is NOT AND
WHAT IT is.
BY REV, NJ. II. HOUGHTON.
Storm Lake, Ia.

Passages from tract written and circu-
lated by this pastor:
Universalism is not that religion
which says God has been defeated in
any of his endeavors.
1t respectfully declines to worship at
the shrine of disappointed God, a de-
feated Saviour, and victorious Devil.
Universalism does not believe in the
thousand and one excuses orthodoxy
makes for its God Of weakness.
God either has the power to save the
world, and not the disposition, OF the
disposition and not the power, or the
power and disposition combined.
Which of these three positions, in
view of all the facts of nature and rev.
elation, do you think is most likely to
be the true one?
You must certainly have some idea
whether he is limited in power, or
wanting in disposition to save the en-
tire race of Adam.
If he does not save all, there must be
some cause for the failure, and this, in
the last analysis, applies either to his
power or his disposition.
If we say man is free agent, and
can either accept or resist divine grace,
in the particulars that he resists, is not
his force superior to Gods
What is it he resists, if it is not God
and if he finally succeeds in his resist
ance, does he not, just so far, limit Gods
power
Think it over and see.
Again, if it be said God can over
come all resistance, even the rebellion
of the Unite will, and does not do it.,
neither in this world, nor in the world
to come, then is not his disposition,
Just so far as he fails, imperfect
Is there any flaw here? Don't shut
your eyes and turn away, but open them,
think and decide for yourself.
Now the first of these propositions,
viz.:-that of the power of God to save
all, and not the disposition, is Calvinism.
The second, the disposition to save
all and not the power, is Arminianism
The third, viz. the power and the
disposition to save all, is Universalism
Calvinism is not Universalism, be-
cause it denies Gods disposition to save
all men. ATminianism is not Univers-
alism, because it denies Gods power to
save all. MethOdism, Presbyterianism,
Congregationalism, Episcopalianism
Adventism, and the denomination
known as Baptists, and others not men,
toned, are not Universalism, because
they are either Calvinistic or ATminian
in their professions of faith.
Universalism does not teach the fall
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1886-07-17

ization, to deceive the masses of the
American people. History rises up in
emphatic rebuke of the boast. The
whole spirit of their church government
is against individual liberty. We have
more to fear for our common school
system from this church than from any
other danger that threatens it. They
would utterly destroy the system, had
they the power. And he is but dull
thinker who does not know that the
destruction of our school system would
be a death blow to our American lib
erty. We should be on our guard, and
should know that eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty"
This ostentatious pageant occurring so
near the time of our national jubilee.
irresistibly draws the contrast between
the simplicity and manly dignity of
republican manners, and this sicken-
ing vanity of ostentatious display. 1t
is the old idea of kings and aristocracy
to tickle the masses with shows, to i'm
press the ignorant and the foolish with
the grandeur and power of princely
courts.
The chief magistrate of the republic
dresses like a common citizen; his cab
met faunt no purple robes; the splen-
dor of costly regalia, enriched with pre-
cious stones, are not used to attest the
dignity of American senators; the repre-
sentatives of the people are not distin-
guishable by their garbs from other free
citizens; only the judges of the Suprem e
Court are ridiculously robed. These
great men of the nation are men of
simple tastes, but these churchly dig
nitaries-these who should be, as fol-
lowers of Jesus, examples Of modesty
in manners and robing, who should
avoid display-outshine even the gay
butterflies of fashion in the magnif-
cence of their official toilet. The pure
white robes of righteousness, and the
gems of temperance, brotherly kind
ness, meekness, and faith in character
should distinguish the Christian, rather
than the purpled silk of his regalia.
We have nothing to urge against the
religion Of this anti-republican church,
any more than we have against the re-
ligion of the so-called orthodox church
es, for there is very little to choose
between them neither have we other
than profound admiration for the vir-
tue and moral worth of individual Cath
61ics, but against Tie monarGhial ideas
in the government of the Roman Cath
olic church, and its excessive vanity
and love of show in the name of the
religion of the meek and lowly Jesus,
we have nothing but stern republican
contempt.
