hanson, d. d. Large limo. 378 pages

The "Rudiments" is the most elaborate
work of the author. 1t is profound and
logical volume, discussing Theology and
Morals from the standpoint of reason

presence, Foreknowledge, Free Agency
Nature and Origin of Evil, Respon-
sibility and Accountability, Punishment,
Atonement, Immortality, = these are
among the great themes discussed.
DIR. Williamson's clear and lucid style,
and his strong, argumentative power is
we'll displayed in the work. In it the au-
thor has embodied his teachings during
a ministry of more than forty years in
the Univefsalist church, and it City con-
cludes his long series of writings in de-
Tense of the faith. All thoughtful read
ers will appreciate this profound volume.
The chapters on Immortality are partic-
ularly valuable, and have attracted wide
attention outside of our own church.

The elmer Life" might be termed a
manual of devotion. 1t is pervaded from
beginning to end with the high devotion
al spirit of the Christian believer. The
several chapters read like psalms of
praise; they are incentives to holy living
and are glowing with tine afdor of Chris
tan faith. The prayer and experiences
of David and the benefit of prayer are
first considered. The Sunday Christian
service, daily observances, land study Of
the Scripture are the subjects of further
teachings; and the earnestuess, pure tone
and clear, simple style of the author make
them impressive and helpful. The Secret
of Spiritual Life is fine chapter in book

spiritual truths. Address orders to Uni

The Flock.

.(16-18) The flock of the Good Shepherd
comprises the souls which the Father has
committed to his care and keeping, and
which are given him for kingdom. They
are his by the counsel of the Fathers love
and purpose. The picture we have before us
in the parable is that of the true shepherd
entering in by the door and leading bis own
sheep out of the fold into abundant pastur
age. There is evident reference to the Phar-
isees, the synagogue, the expulsion of the
blind man, and his becoming follower of
JESUS. OF his flock there were other sheep
not of this fold, them also must he bring,
who will hear his voice, and there will be-
come one flock with one shepherd. The
kingdom of heaven, of which the kingdom of
Israel-the Jewish religious commonwealth
or church-was but shadow, may be con-
sidered the fold into which the Good Shep-
herd will gather his own flock. The Chris
tian Church as a community of believers, is
The equivalent of that kingdom, and as an

In Hanover, jackson county, Mich,
Wednesday, June 9, Mrs. Tamson B. Thorne,
wife of J. L. Thorne, aged ~ years. Her
maiden name was Bowerman. She was born
in Falmouth, Barnstable county, Mass, in
1913; was married in Livingston county, N.
T., in 1887, to J. L. Thorne; settled in Barry
county, Mich, in 1888, and in jackson coun-
ty in 1848. Our sister was born and reared
among the Society of Friends, but in later
years has cast her lot with the Universalist
people and faith. Truly may it be said of
her, she was disciple of the Master, always
ready to help others bear their burdens.
There were ready hands and willing feet,
actuated by loving hearts, to minister to her
wants during her sickness, and, if possible,
to alleviate her suffering. With confding
trust in the love of God, she fell asleep in
the sure hope of awaking in another apart
ment of our Fathers house, free from sor-
row and pain. WI. @.

THE Coop SHEPHERD.

IL az am the good shepherd; the good
shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.
IL But he that is a hireling and not shep-
herd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the Sheep and
feeth and the wolf catcheth them and scat
tereth 1.-THE sheep]; Ii He heethl because
he is hireling and careth not for the sheep.
IA | am the good shepherd; ana know mine,
and mine know me; Is Even as the Father
knoweth me, and know the Father: and
lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And
other sheep have, which are not of this fold;
them also | mus bring, and they will hear
my voice: and they will become one flock,
one shepherd. IL On this account doth the
Father love me, because l lay down my life,
that | may take it up again. Is No one
taketh it away from me, but lay it down of
myself. l have power to lay it down, and
have power to take it again. This command
ment l received of my Father"
(11-15) JESUS having spoken of himself
under the figure of Door of the sheep fold,
by whom spiritual shepherds and their focks
must enter into the heavenly kingdom, he
changes the figure, and calls himself the true,
real good Shepherd, in contrast with
hired servant who did not own the flock he
tended. By similar use of metaphor,
CHRIST is set forth both as the Priest and the
l.
blending of images is not infrequent in the
Scriptures. The true shepherd will lay down
his life in behalf of his flock, while hired
servant will risk but little in defence of his
against the attacks of thieves or wolves, and
in case of great personal danger, will even
flee for safety and leave the flock to be torn
and scattered. The true shepherd has spe-
cinl and narsona1 intarast in opd offaot;or,
for his flock. "JEsUs, that great shepherd
of the sheep" Heb. xiii. 20), knows and
loves his own, and is recognized and loved
by them. He was able to distinguish the
true from the false and hypocritical wor-
shippers of COP; and those who were pre-
pared for the kingdom of heaven recognized
him by his gracious words and marvellous
works. The reciprocal affection and fidelity
between JESUS and his true followers, is even
like that which exists between himself and
the Father; indeed, it is but the Divine love
and fellowship manifested among the true
sons of GoD. All souls are given unto JESUS
by the Father. They are his to nurture and
train in the spiritual life. By another figure
they are his kingdom, over which the Father
has appointed him to rule. His devotion to
his charge is manifested in his willingness to
die in their behalf. He came that they might
have life (10), and he died that we might
live. In this the love of COP was also mani
tested, ''for GoD SO loved the world that He
! gave His only-begotten Son, that whatsoever
believeth in him might not perish but have
everlasting life' (John iii. 81. ''GoD COM
mended his love toward us, in that while we
were yet sinners CHRIST died for us' Gro
mans v. 81.

his flock. A poor faithful fellow last
spring, . instead of fleeing, actually
fought three Bedawin robbers until he was
hacked to pieces, and died among the sheep
he was defending.
Some sheep always keep near the shepherd,
and are his special favorites. Each of them
has name to which it answers joyfully, and
the kind shepherd is ever distributing to such
choice portions which he gathers for that
purpose Reu. w. M. Thompson, d. d.,
1.-THE Land and the Book"
The parallels of our Lord contained in the
synoptic gospels are entirely omitted by
John. He reports, however, two similar par
abolic discourses: the Shepherd and his Flock,
and the Vine and its Branches, in which the
character and relation of JESUS to his disci-
pies, aud as a religious teacher, is symbolized.
This discourse concerning true and false
teachers, was pronounced in the hearing of
the ruling Pharisees with undoubted refer
ence to the expulsion from the synagogue of
the man to whom JESUS had given sight, and
who had become one of his followers. They
did not apprehend it's meaning. With per-
captions so blinded they were utterly unfit to
be teachers. Continuing his discourse, the
Master declared the reference to himself.

THE Doom.


JESUS therefore said unto them again,
"Verily, verify say unto you, [ am the door
of the sheep. s All that came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not
hear them. 8 am the door; by me if any
man enter in, he will be saved, and will go in
and go out, and will find pasture. 10 The
thief cometh not but to steal and kill, and
destroy; came that they may have life, and
may have abundance"
(7-10) JESUS declared himself to be the
door of the symbolic sheep-fold. By him
pastors and people must enter into the sal
walton and life,-the blessings of the king
dom of COP. Upon another occasion he
said, 81 am the Way, the Truth and the Life;
no man cometh unto the Father but by me-
xiv. g.. He, as a divinely accredited teach
or and prophet, even as the Messiah, must be
recognized. All who claim superiority to
him, (come before him. or strive to rule the
consciences of his followers, are false teach
ers, "thieves and robbers" whose work is de-
struction. He, on the contrary, came to give
life and abundant spiritual blessing.
Concerning the phrase, "came before him."
'The New Covenant" by DR.. Hanson, con-
tains the following note:
81 am Inclined says Abbott, to take be-
fore as an adverb, signifying precedence in
rank or authority, as it does in Col. i. IL;
James v. II; and Peter iv. 8; and to under
stand the passage, All ,chosoeuer come claim
ing precedence dboue me, are there's and
robbers. The verb come is in the aorist
tense, and does not necessarily indicate a
coming in the past only, but would be prop
erly used for the enunciation of a general
principle. The prophets of the Old Testa-
ment claimed no such precedence above
CHRIST. On the contrary, they were but his
heralds; and John the Baptist distinctly
disavows such precedence (Matthew iii. IA;
John i. 81, %; iii. 30). The Pharisees, on
the other hand, denied CHRIsr's right to
teach, because he did not belong to their
schools (John vii. 15), and in their confer
ence with the blind man, had put themselves
above CHRIST (John tx. l6, 24).'"
Be it further observed that the thieves and
robbers who climb over the wall appear in
this verse with the assumption of higher
power. They stand no longer in their naked
selfshness; they lay claim to positive impor-
lance, and that not merely as shepherds, but
as the Door itself. Thus the hierarchs had
just been attempting to exercise conscience
rule over the man who was born blind
