WHY MUST WE WAIT?

Because nothing comes ready made.
Everything is y growth. Why can we
NOS make an apple in day ? Because
the elements Of which every apple is
made must first be gathered from the
wide extended universe. Some Of them
are in the depths of the sea, some are
en- distant isles, and some are in the
sun, zsoon and stars. The wonder is
that the apple can be constituted in a
single season. What is an engine :?

man ? And when man becomes separ-
ated from all sensual and earthly attrac-
lions, must not the soul choose that
which will minister to its JOY and peace
in its new house and spiritual home ?
Choose love, goodness and truth, when
they are made manifest by mans resur-

CHRISTIAN, NoRAETrF..

Christianity was a. revelation, not
creation. 1t made nething true which
was not true before. IG h,ss familiar
analogies in the realm of human sci
ence- The circulation OF the blood was
no less-a law OF life bsfore Harvey dis
coveYsdit than it is now. Universal
gravisation was none the-less real when
the meen, the stars, first sang together
than since the philosophy Of the eight
eenthcentury began to white the rhythm
of their song. 50 there's nothing which
Jesus, taught which is not true from
eternity to eternity. Scientific truth is
revealed when men are ready for it. So
the truth taught by CHRIST came whens
men were ready for it. You can name
no principle OF precepa which has nOb
it's reason in, the eternal right, not one'
which is not founded ON nature, not
ons which, apart frons the idea of arhi-
trary reward or punishment, can be
obeyed without bene&t or violated vith
iapunity. Commission being of in
fallible wisdom to write code of nor
ais for mankind, who would produce a
Sermon on the MoAnt without an 0mis-
sion, or, if he added to it, what he
added would be such tints of spiritual
beauty as we find in the picture Of
Christ's life and character. Not only
are the ethics of the Christian code the
directory for individual men,, but equal,
ly for society. When is the law OF
Christ law for this world alone ?
Heaven can have no other morality, if
it claims that there's hardly pre0ept
of his that cannot be found in the writ
ings of the Greek and Eastern Ehilos-
OTHERS. We reply, If those moral laws
which he gave are the laws of nature
it would have been strange if they
should not have been discovered by
wise men all along the ages. The Pc
culiarity of Christ is that he brought
them all together, so that we find moth
ing lacking in his morality. Again, il
may be said we pay scant homage Il
the Divine Goodness when we maintain
that it is clear knowledge of what hu
man duty must always have been, wal
kept back for so many ages. But is the
world yet ready for it? OF those whC
call themselves Christians, what pro
portion is there who show their faitl
by their works? Our business men owl
Christian morality as supreme. Doe
it really give law in the shop, the offic'
and the stock market?-A. p. Peabody

without destroying their free agency, is
to beg the whole question, for an all
wise and powerful God could have so
balanced the faculties of the human
mind, as to, at last, have had the heart
beat in unison with righteousness as
well as with unrighteousness.
Universalism says the road that leads
down into the deepest hell does not end
there. The good God has permitted it
to wind through the dark valley of sin
and shame, and sometime the worn and
bleeding feet Of his hayward children
will press the thorny path that leadeth
back to heaven. Precious thought,
glorious faith, that declares the sim
crushed of earth shall at last, after pun
ishment and penitence, and food of
bitter tears, find peace with God.
Universalism not only hopes for this,
but solemnly and sincerely affirms that
God has promised it in his holy word.
The only devil we know anything about
or believe in, is In the sinful heart of
man, and that shall eventually be cast
out through fellowship with Christ. We
repeat, it is Gods plan that it shall be
SO. The Scriptures declare that the
works Of the Devil shall be destroyed, =
l John, iii, 8. To us, the resurrection
signifies the raising Of the spirit from
the body at death. The WORKOUT gar
ment of flesh will never rise again, save
as it comes forth in trees and flowers,
and clothes anew other forms of life.
1t is lost to us forever. No more pain
or hunger or chill, for we are clothed
with our house which is from heaven.
While Universalism does not accept the
verbal inspiration of the Bible, it most
earnestly affirms the divine influx of
truth throughout the sacred volume.
Men wrote as they were breathed upon
by the Holy Spirit, using, IN many in
stances, their own language to convey
the divine impression, and this Ian
guage, we say, is sometimes faulty.
We accept Christ as the Saviour Of the
world, and believe in the divinity of his
mission SO fully, that we say no power
can prevent him from fulfilling the will
of God.
While Kingdoms, empires, principal
tiles and powers may fade away, not
one jot or little from his law shall pass
away, until all be fulfilled.

WHAT UNIVERSALlSM Is NOT AND

storm Lake, Ia.)

More passages from tract written and
circulated by this pastor:
Universalism is opposed to endless
misery, because it does not believe it is
deserved in any instance, and for the
further reason it destroys the lofty ideal
we place upon the works of the Most
High and Mighty God. If there is to
be endless pain, then God will not at
tain the sublime end he had in view,
when he made man and breathed into
him the breath of his own life.
Think of the Infinite, being himself
defeated by the act of his own children.
To say that if they persist in sin, God
cannot restrain them, or save them,

THE sCRIPTORIUM OF THE MaNlAsTERY.
In the days of King John people had
so Mttle idea of the possibility of the
printing press, that they were almost
equally ignorant Of such, a. material as
paper for literary purposes Yet it is a
huge mistake whiDh has, not yet been
exploded, as it oaght to BE-. that read
ing and writing were. rare accom-
plishments in the thirteenth century.
Knowledge of D. certain, kind was dis
seminated far more effectively and far
more universally than is generally be-
lisved. The country parson was ex-
peeted to be the sohs0lmasseT of his
parish, ard generally was so, and there
was hardly a. village IN England during
bhe reign of Henry BILL in which there
we're not che or more persons who
could write. clerkay hand, draw up az
counts in latin, and keep the records
of the various petty courts and gather
ings that were continually being held !,
sometimes to the annoyance and griev-
GUS vexation of the rural population.
The professional writers were so nu-
merous, and their training so severe,
that they had got for themselves privi-
leges of a very exceptional kind. The
clerk took rank with the clergyman and
the writer of q book was almost as
much esteemed as its author. The
scriptorium of great monastery was
at once the printing press and the pub
fishing office. 1t was the place where
books were written and whence they
issued to the world. With the tradi-
tional exclusiyeness Of the older mon
asteries there was less desire, no doubt,
to diffuse and dispense than to accumu-
late books, but the composing and the
multiplication of books was always 60
ing on. The scriptorium was great
writing school, too, and the rules of the
art of writing which were laid down
there were so rigidly and severely adj
hered to that to this day it is not diff
cult to decide at a glance whether a
book was written in st. Adams or st.
Edmund's Abbey. Sometimes as many
as twenty writers were employed at
once, and besides there were occasion
ally supernumeraries who were profess
sional scribes, and who were paid for
their services; but nothing short of
perfect penmanship, such trained skill,
for instance, as would now be required
of an engraver, would qualify cOpyist
to take part in the finished work which
the copying of important books re-
quired. Quarterly Rerieao.

CHAPTER VII.

Don Quixote's second sally in quest of ad-
venture.
Full fifteen days did our knight remain
quietly at home, without betraying the
least sign of his desire to renew his
rambling; during which time there pas
sed great deal of pleasant discourse
between him and his two friends, the
curate and the barber; while he maintain
ed, that there was nothing the world
stood so much in need of as knights-er-
rant; wherefore he was resolved to re-
vive the order: in which disputes Mr..
Citrate sometimes contradicted him, and
sometimes submitted; for had he not now
and then given way to his fances, there
have been no conversing with him.
In the mean time Don Quixote solicited
one of his neighbors, country labourer
and honest fellow, though poor in purse
AS well as in brains, to become his squire
in short the knight talked long to him,
piled him with so many arguments, and
made him so many fair promises, that at
last the poor silly clown consented TO go
along with him, and be his squire.
Among other inducements TO entice him
to do it willingly, Don Quixote forgot
not to tell him, that it was likely such an
adventure would present itself, as might
secure him the conquest of some island
in the time that he might be picking up
straw or two, and then the squire might
promise himself TO be made governor of
the place. Allured with these large
promises, and many others, SanchO
Panza (fOr that was the name of the
fellow forsook his wife and children to
be his neighbours squire.
This done, Don Quixote made it his
business to furnish himself with money;
to which purpose, selling one house,
mortgaging another, and losing by all,
he at last got pretty good sum together.
He also borrowed target of a friend
and having patched up his head-piece
and beaver as well as he could, he gave
his squire notice of the day and hour
when he intended to set out, that he
might also furnish himself with what he
thought necessary; but above all, he
charged him to provide himself with a
wallet: which Sancho promised to do,
telling him he would also take his ass
along with him, which being very good
one, might be great ease to him, for he
was not used to travel much a-foOt. The
mentioning of the ass made the noble
knight pause awhile ;he unused and ponder
ed whether he had ever read of any knight

HOME, SWEET HOME.


Mid pleasures and palaces though we may
roam,
Be 1t ever so humble, there's no place like
homel
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us
there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'cr met
with elsewhere.
Home home sweet, sweet homel
There's no place like home;
There's no place like home!
An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain,
OH give me my lowly matched cottage again
The bird singing gaily, that came at my CALL
Give me them, with the peace of mind, dearer
than all.
Home! home sweet, sweet homei
There's no place like home;
There's no place like home!
