was more than realized. The whole
souied hospitality of this great Uni7er-
sity was the theme of praise by all the
delegates, and the moral effect OF an in
stitution devoted to the education OF our
youth assisting in the work of promot-
ing Total Abstinence is certainly worthy

DIR. Magoun ON Future Probation.
In June the Iowa Association OF Con-
gregstionalists held it's annual meeting
at Marion. Rev. g. f. Magoun, d. D.,
reviewed Prof. Smyth on future proba-
ton. DR.. Magoun begins by saying
that because probation after death is mot
an article Of explicit divine teaching"
therefore it does not "fall within the ac-
acknowledged limits of the Christian
faith" Whose acknowledged limits?"
DIR. Magoun's large experience in the
world should long ago have taught him
that on questions of dogma, Christian faith
never has been and probably never will be
uniform. Without a doubt future pro-
baton is part of Prof. Smyth's Chris
tan faith. 1t is safe to say the same is
true of very many Congregationalist di-
vines. DR.. Magoun admits the tendency
of some minds to hope for it" Culture
probation), and adds that this feeling -
not to govern the truth, but to be gov
erned by it," By what truth? Prof Smyth
and DR.. Magoun disagree as to what is
true concerning future probation. Who
is to decide the question? and by what
authority? Under Professionalism there
can always be two equally legitimate
opinions as to whether there will be fu-
ture probation or not; and no theory of
Scripture, or device of logic, which denies
one the right to hold the second opinion

IOWA LETTER.
Our Heart Idea.

The final triumph of the true, the
beautiful and the good, in the per-
sonal fortunes of every soul, is the
heart-idea of Universalism. Whatever
lines of individual experience may be
necessary in order to bring about this
result in all souls and thus mature the
moral universe are warranted by the
basis of eternal justice ON which the Gre
alton rests. All the operations of the
moral law combine in producing right
eousness-spiritual equilibrium of per-
sonal life That is the ripened fruit of
the gospel the Kingdom of Heaven"
1t is not a kingdom that can be entered
from without, but must, by obedience
to divine law, be established within. It
is a moral condition determined entirely
by mans conduct. Whatever RESPONSE
BILE act or thought of man aids himself or
others in realizing this kingdom is right;
all else is wrong. And il this is indeed a
Goods universe" the conflict between
the right and the wrong can end in but
one way; that which is right in act and
thought and therefore aids in promoting
the divine purpose, must ever win the
battle; that which is wrong in mans
conduct will ever affect him with some
degree of severity, until he is persuaded
to choose to do right. Right was or
dained from the foundation of the world;
it is the stoutest OF all facts, and since

Akron, o., July Is, 1SS6.-[To the
Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT. : In
consideration of the fact that the Cen
eral Convention of Universaliats is to be
held in Akron in October, it has been
deemed best to hold the next quarterly ses-
sion of the Western Reserve Association at
Brimfeld. Due notice no doubt will be
given of this meeting, which takes place
in September, and we mention the change
thus early, that all the friends who pur-
pose attending may get their working
clothes on and be ready to take an act
i've part in making the meeting every
way successful. Let every good word
and work which will tend to revive the
cause in this Association be said and
done and thus send out good influences
to neighboring places. The whole of
northeastern Ohio needs to be quickened
with greater zeal for our cause and
with more ardent desire to sustain reg
ular services and build up strong and
useful churches.
-Buchtel College, which SO recently
was full of animation and daily visited by
hundreds, is now very quiet sort Of
place. The students have returned to
their homes and most of the professors
have gone East or to some rural retreat
to recuperate their wasted energies in
time for the opening of the fall term,

a movement is begun to repair the church

HON. ALFRED KNOWLES, GALEsBURe.

Judge Alfred Knowles, as THE UNI
vERsALIsT made brief record last week,
passed quietly away July 9, in his sew
enty. seventh year. He had been suf-
fering for more than year with the en-
largement of the spleen. But his indom-
table will was so set to reinforce his
hitherto strong constitution that it
seemed that the encroachment of disease
must be stayed. But declining years
yielded at length to the inevitable and
long before the summer came, his "house
was set in order,"-he had made every
possible preparation to go, and in COM
munion with his friends and in contem-
plation of the result he calmly awaited
the change He talked freely of the fat
ure and showed by his constant testimo-
nv that the faith in which he had lived
was his strong support in the hour of
death. When his neigbbor of another
church asked him if he had any fear
about going, he answered with great as
surance, mo more than have in going
to your house" and he afterwards ex-
pressed surprise that such question
should be asked. When his strength
was nearly gone and he could hardly
speak above whisper, he said to me,
"My work is done, there is nothing 1
would change, there is nothing for me to
do and had better go"
Thus his earthly life ended. 1t was a
long and useful life and busy one. His
early years were spent in Maine, where
with few advantages, but with persistent
effort, he worked his way before the
mast, and on the farm, to that scholarship
which made him successful teacher
He came to Oquawka as one of the
early settlers fifty years ago, assisted in
organizing Henderson county, was chos-
en- the first county clerk and was also
probate judge and recorder of the same
county.
He always took a deep interest in all
public and political affairs and his abil-
tiles and faithfulness gave him promi-
nent position among his fellow men. He
was one of the incorporators Of the Illinois
Liberal Institute in 1851, and all through
the years of struggle and sacrifice, he was
one who shrank from no duty or burden
that would aid success. He saw many
fall by the way-side, or give up disheart-
ened, but he kept steadily on with faith
that never faltered, whatever the discour-
agements, until he saw the school at
Lombard University and in its present
growing estate. He resigned his position
as trustee only last commencement after
continuous service of thirty four years.
To show his devotion to this cause which

he so dearly loved, it may be said that he
was Secretary of the Board for eighteen
years, member of the Executive Com
mittee twenty-four years and President
for four years. He was absent but from

four years of faithful service While all

quent and generous.
He moved to Galesburg in 1893, that
his family could enjoy the benefits OF the
church and college which we're SO dear
to him. Here he reared his children in
the church and school Of his choice and
they remain to honor and cherish his
memory: Edwin, banker OF Topeka,
Kan; Howard, for many years the faith
full and efficient revenue officer at Peoria;
Frank, farmer Of Iowa; Mary, Mrs.
Alspaugh, of Washington, KAN, and
Nellie, Mrs. Chapman, of mis- city.
He served our city as mayor, and for a
number of years as q member OF the
Board of Education, and filled other posi-
tions Of honor and trust, which trust he
never betrayed.
He was strong friend OF the temper
ance cause not only in theory, but in
practice, abstsining from all stimulants,
even tobacco, tea and coffee.
He was ready writer, and the press
received frequent contributions from bis
vigorous and racy pen. He hated all
shams, and lived the plain, unostentatious
life which characterized the man. He
even requested that the last services
should be simple and plain, with as little
display as possible. To this end the fu-
neral was held at his home, and DIR.
Crane, his pastor, spoke the fitting word,
while President White offered the fer
vent prayer.
As the sacred dust was lowered to it's
last resting plate, the choir sang, at his
request, this stanza, which he had written
for the occasion:
"Here to thy bosom, Mother Earth,
Take back in peace what thou hast given;
And all that is of heavenly birth.
Do thou, o God, receive in heaven"

But we've no forebodings fearful
While in thee his hope doth dwell
Tho he leave us now with sadness,
Yet thy love with him doth go;
May he preach thy Word with gladness,
Asking but thy will to know.
Now the pathway seemeth lonely
Far away from friendship true
Yet he goeth asking only,
"What wilt thou that shall dor"
May he shrink from duty never,
