issued from the Universalist press. The
volume completes the History Of our
Church in this country to the close of the
year 1885.
Like the first volume, it gives a de-

Universalism during the period covered
in it, and general survey of its progress
since the advent Of our periodicals, in
1919.
The earlier views of Rev. Hosea Ballou,
the changes in his opinions, their infu-
ence and spread, and the various shades
of opinions entertained by other leaders
are plainly set forth.
Changes in church polity are also
brought to notice, with the reasons there
for and the gradual growth Of our pres
emit ecclesiastical organization is described
and accounted for.
The story concerning the adoption of
the Winchester Profession of Belief is
told in full, including an examination of
the traditions relating thereto, the facts
in the case, the records of the Courts, the
consequences Of the adoption, and the
place which the Profession at oncstook
and has since held in the Church. All
the facts in the case of Christopher
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 disbandlng of the
Restorationist Association in 1841.
Efforts in the Church for the establish
ment of Educational Institutions from
1914 to 1886, are described in detail.
Appended to the History is Bibliogra-
ply, embracing 2278 titles of books and
pamphlets published in America, either
in favor of. or opposed to Universalism,
including the titles of nearly 200 papers
and other periodicals published in de-

FROM THE FOREIGN FIELD.

Mrs. SoULE has spent five weeks in
London. She has been the guest of the
Misses Sharpe, daughters Of the late Sam
uel Sharpe, ESQ.,, at the celebrated old
mansion, 80 Highbury Place. Mr. Sharpe
was nephew Of the banker-poet, Rogers,
and succeeded his uncle in the banking
house. retiring at the age of sixty and de.
voting his after life to the study and writ
ing of books. The old mansion is per-
feet treasure house Of ancient volumes
and manuscripts and Oriental antiquities,
while the beautiful garden in the rear is
renowned as the spot where Mr.. Sharpe
received his friends in pleasant weather;
his friends embracing the most learned
men and women of this century. His
daughters are almost the equals Of their
celebrated father in learning, being famil-
lar with all the dead languages and most
of the living ones. They are following in
his footsteps, too, as regards the disposi-
ton of the very comfortable fortunes left
them. giving literally year in and year

MERRY CHRISTMAS BELLS.

How pleasant it is to hear their merry
chime on Christmas Morn. telling us Of
"Peace on Earth, Good will to ALL" and
reminding us, it prone to forget it, of a
Saviour bornl 1t is undoubtedly the most
Joyous day of all the year, and worthy
of all veneration accorded it. In connec-
ton with the custom of Gift giving on
that day, which is almost universal GUS
tom, what can be more appropriate than
the presentation of a fine Bell or set of
Bells to a church by member or several
members of its congregation? No more
fitting memorial of the loved ones gone
before can be erected. for by this method,
when the sweet sounds float out on the
air, we fancy we hear the loved ones
again, and so keep green the memory of
those once so dear. The McShsne Bell
Foundry, Baltimore, Md, are furnishing
a large number of these memorials and
bearing suitable commemorative insorip-
tions. and the magnificent tones Of their
excellent Bells afford an inexpressible
delight and pleasure to the recipients of
these appropriate gifts, as they at once
fill want, in many cases not otherwise
obtainRble, and at the same time evil
dence the love, peace and good will
within us which we are commanded to
cherish and observe among us.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

AS the Sunday Lessons for December
are found in this Book, Officers and
Teachers will find The NEW COVENANT,
Vol. 2, the Translation of the Acts, the
Epistles and Revelation. by Rev. John w.
Hanson, D. D., an admirable help to
them in their studies.
It is rendering of the Oldest and best
Greek Texts, the recension of Wescott
and Hort, on which the Revisers relied in
making the Revision, and is far closer to
the original than any version yet made,
enabling the unlearned reader to know
exactly what the authors said and meant.
In the comments on the Apocalypse
the achievements of modern scholarship
are freely drawn upon, and the obscure
ties that to many minds make riddle of
Revelation are so cleared away by an
accurate translation and accompanying
notes that the Apocalypse is plain book
whose meaning is transparent. In fact,
it is demonstrated that the illusions and
references in Revelation are to contem-
porary persons, events and places, and
the great catastrophe announced by the
Seer of Patmos is not "the end of the
world" but the over throw of Jerusalem,
just before which the apocalpytic vision
was written. No dozen volumes throw so
much light on the teachings of the New
Testament as this work. The translation
of the Notes in REVELATION are worth
all the great labor that the entire work
must have cost the author.
This is a new and improved Version of
the New Testament, and consists ot an
Extract Translation, Chronological Ar
rangement, Complete Harmony, and a
Brief and Handy Commentary. Price

The Geographical Problem in Cincinnati.
AS Cincinnati enlarges. and the popula.
ton extends over the hills and up the
valleys, the geographical locality of
churches becomes an interesting prob
lem to solve. During the past few years
several churches located in the valley
had large congregations conveniently
surrounding them. Prominent among
these were ST. Paul's Episcopal, Broad
way Presbyterian and the Seventh street
Congregationalist. But one after another
they were compelled to yield to the pres
sure, and either united with other congre-
cations better located, or built on the
bills, as was the case with the last two
named. Now the Unitarian church, locat-
ed on the corner Eighth and Plum, is ar
ranging to sell their house of worship,
and to seek more convenient location
on the hills.
"The Inevitable"
begins to stare our Plum Street church
in the face. The bulk of the congrega-
ton resides chiefly in the west end or on
the hills, the extremes being not less than
ten miles apart. Scarcely any reside
within mile of the church. 1t will be cas-
lily seen that no pastor, no matter how in
dustrious he may be, can expect to do more
than maintain the existence of the church,
with the prospect of decrease constantly
before him. The Plum street church is
surrounded by business establishments,
and change of location is inevitable.
The Executive Committee of the
Ohio Universslist Convention have held
two important meetings recently. The
first was held November 16, at North
Lewisburg, Champaign county, on the
line of the New York, Pennsylvania &
Ohio railroad. This meeting was held
by invitation of citizens, in order to ex-
anime grounds adjacent to the village,
which are regarded as we'll adapted for
the permanent place of holding our Con-
ventions, which has been so much discuss
ed in later years.
Religious services were held on the
preceding evening in the City Hall, and

full that before the company separated
all felt like old friends.
| A short business session was held, and
it was determined to elect provisional
committee to take charge of the affairs of
the society until permanent organization
should be effected. The following we're
elected TO act as such committee: Messrs.
George s. Knapp, Augustus Newell, and
Mrs. A. W. Briggs.
It was also determined, by the young
people present connected with the church
and Sunday-school, to organize a Young
Peoples Society for literary and social
pleasures. and during the evening more
than twenty names were secured for
membership.
The ladies present decided to organize
a Ladies' Aid Society, and elected COM
mittee for that purpose.
The following program was then very
creditably rendered.: Reading, by Miss
Julia Leavens; song, by Mr.. McGaffey:
recitation, by Miss Myrtle Crocker; reci-
tation, by Miss Richards, and song by
Mr.. McGatfeY.
Cake and coffee were served by the
ladies, and after the wants OF all present
we're satisfied the cake remaining was sold
at auction and netted the society 1915.
The occasion was one Of much enjoyment
to those present, and it is intended to
hereafter hold similar social monthly.
