upon "elderly people" and mature
men and women in connection with
this dreadful business?
The AdUdnce pushes out boldly in the
further direction of its new departure
and remarks
Perhaps hardly less serious philo-
sophical and practical error is committed
by those who affirm or imply that proba-
ton universally, or even generally, con-
tinues to the close of the earthly life. It
is very doubtful whether DR.. Watts had
plenary inspiration when he wrote:
''And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return"
The Word of God gives no such assur-
ance."
In this impeachment of DIR. Watts's
time honored hymn our contemporary
is making sad work of whole systems
of evangelical theology. Heretofore
Probation has been so expounded as to
be made applicable to all and even to
the very instant of death. Mankind
were given chance to the uttermost
borders Of human existence. Even
death-bed repentance was in time to
embrace the offers Of grace. The ex-
ample of the dying thief on the cross,
and the traditional case in which
Between the saddle aud the ground
Mercy sought and mercy found"
have been held up as illustrations OF
that mercy on which there was no time
limit, certainly on this side of the grave
What is the meaning of this new linn
itation of probation on the part of oul
contemporary? Is it not willing thai
mankind shall have all the hope ortho
doxy has heretofore held out for the
sinner? Or is it getting iron clad in its
sympathies and inclined to enlarge the
constituency of the damned? We ex

more effectively on other lines than OF
this of limiting a doctrine which wal
sufficiently narrow and iron clad before

ACCORDING to late advices, as sum-
med up by the Journal, the whole of the
far East is full of Russia's advance
movements. The deposition of Alex
ander I. from the Bulgarian throne is
the result of Russian intrigue. The
Emir of Bokhara, Russian satrap, has
demanded Of Afghanistan the cession
of the important oasis of Khojasaleh.
On the Batoum coast of the Black Sea,
in Asia Minor, Russia is making prep
arations for equally audacious move
ments. The air of Europe, if not al
ready full of warlike rumors, will soon
become so. The general opinion of the
European press appears to be that the
Bulgarian coup d'etat is blow intended
for England, and that she will be left
without allies if she attempts to defeat
the plans of Russia,

THE usual motion for new trial for
the convicted anarchists was entered
by the attorneys for the defense 1t is
not probable that a rehearing will be
granted as no just ground exists for re-
opening the case. The motion will be
argued at the September term of court.
If this fails the next step will be to take
the case to the supreme court. Not
withstanding the many uncertainties
of the law, it is the general impression
that the higher court will refuse to in
terfere and that the convicted assassins
will ultimately and at no distant period
pay the penalty of their fearful crimes.
They have assumed to override the law
and the established order of society,
and must abide the final result.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1886-08-28

THE verdict of the jury in the now
historic anarchist trial has been rem
dered and heard all over the world.
Seven of the murderous conspirators
have been sentenced to death, and one,
Neebe, on account of mitigating cir
cumstances, gets fifteen years impris-
onment. We abate nothing of pro-
nounced opposition to capital punish
ment as relic of barbarous age and an
inhuman and demoralizing method of
Kidding society of criminals in the pres
ence of this verdict. But it is the method
of the law and the law must take its
course. Yet, if any thing could recon-
Gle us to hanging, it would be in the
case of these enemies of law, order
and civilization. They have had a fair
trial, before just judge and an intelli-
gent jury, and were defended by able
lawyers, who have done their best to
save their necks from the halter, and
the result is their conviction. The YER
dict is most wholesome one and serves
notice to all concerned that anarchy or
a destructive socialism is not to rule in
this country, and that the bomb throw
ers and dynamite assassins of foreign
birth are not themselves beyond the
reach of the law they proposed to
throttle" The popular approval of
the verdict is evidence also that society
is not dismayed by the reports in re.
gard to the strength and activity of an
archy in this corner of the globe.

Mr.. Hugh P. McElrone. the edi.

Mr.. Hugh P. McElrone, the editor Of
The Catholic Mirror, has written an in
teresting article for the Independent on
the relation of Catholics to the temper
ance movement. At first, he says, Gath
olics in this country held aloof from the
temperance movement. They had good
reason for this, as temperance societies
were generally allied with movements or
ganized for the purpose of resisting the
encroachments of infidelity and Roman
ism," and temperance orators frequently
used "Irish Papists," as horrible exam
pies. But all that is changed now. Tenn
perance lecturers mo longer insult Irish
Catholics, while on the other hand, Cath.
olics begin to see the fearful ravages
made by rum in their own ranks. The
words of the late A. M. Sullivan--"Ire-
land sober is Ireland free" have been
echoed in the pastorals of the Irish bish-
ops and from the pulpits of Irish
churches.

Rev. DR.. Miner will address the Vermont
State Convention at st. Johnsbury this week
on 'The Ministry, the Position of the Higher
and Broader Influence"
The Universalist society in North Attleboro,
Mass, has within few weeks lost two of its
well known members by death, Messrs.
Hervey Richards and Frank s. Draper, both
old and well known citizens and generous
supporters of the parish.
Rev. DR.. Gunnison was unexpectedly pres
ent at the Queen City Park meetings week

friends. He feels confident that he is gain
ing upon his ailment, and that before Octo-
Der his pen will resume the activity he now
finds it difficult to suppress. He was en-
route for Poland Springs, Me-, where he will
spend the remainder of the summer.

Says Chambers Cyclopedia:

'The symbols or confessions of the Prot
estant churches were not intended as rules of
faith for all time, but as expressions of what
was then believed to be the sense of Scripture.
When later it was sought to erect them into
Interchangeable standards of true doctrine, this
was a remuneration of the first principle of
Professionalism, and a return to the Catholic
principle: for in making the sense put upon
Scripture by reformers the standard of truth
all investigation of Scripture is arrested, and
authority of reformers is placed above that
of the Bible, and new tradition of dogmas
and Interpretation is created, which differs
from the Catholic tradition only in beginning
at Luther and Calvin instead of the apostolic
fathers"
The historical fact above recognized is
often overlooked. 1t would be well for
the churches to more generally remem-
Der it and be governed by what the fact
suggests. The logical result OF "unchang-
ing standards" is well stated In the par.
sgraph. Let Protestant churches be
Protestant and not Roman Catholic.

right toward him, the sooner will the
soul realize its personal peace and come
into that union with the Father which
is at once the hope and end of the gospel.
This mistake of humanity in refusing
the spiritual helps and blessings of the
gospel, it is the purpose of Christianity
to finally overcome in the experience of
every soul. For the time being man
may be forgetful and Indifferent may
ignore the most gracious agencies for
his spiritual welfare may refuse the
light and knowledge that will lead him
to God. But the time must come in
the divine economy when the soul,
swayed by the most powerful applica-
lions of divine love, and if need be
scourged and disciplined by the same
Eternal Agency, will become responsive
and obedient. Even though it has to
come to repentance through manifold
sufferings, the time must come when
the very inevitabilities of the spiritual
being will demand the end of opposi-
ton to its own good, and the triumph of
that goodness which has claimed its
own from the very beginning will be
secured. Bondage, even to himself
without mitigation, is not for man.
Through the tribulation of transgres-
sion, and its strong and relentless retri-
buttons, man shall come to his Fathers
house and find there his only true and
lasting home. 1.-THE heart of man, -
saith Augustine, twas made for God,
and it cannot rest until it finds him.
Grace is not only beautiful in it's offers
of redemption; it is also invincible
and this invincible grace will finally
result in the obedience and consequent
salvation of all souls. Through its
agency ''our assimilation to God and
Herewith our ultimate oneness with
God" will be at last secured.

"A correspondent asks for some infor-
nation in regard to the Battle of Boyne
Water" which is frequently referred to
in connection with the religious question
in Ireland, and comes into notice in re-
marks in the press on the recent bloody
riots in Belfast. The Boyne is a river in
ireland, which rises in Queens county
and falls into the Irish channel near
Drogheda. On its banks was fought, in
July, 1890, great battle between the
forces of William III. of England and
the adherents of the deposed James III.

Catholics. William appeared in Ireland
where his royal father-in-law was, under
the protection of an army composed of
Irish Catholics, with the saying that he
did not propose "to let the grass grow
under his feet"
James trusted SC much to the disputes
in the English parliament, that he did
not believe his son in-lsw would be able
to quit the kingdom, and he had been six
days in Ireland, before he received init
nation of his arrival. When he discovered
that, he left Dublin under the guard Of the
militia, and with reinforcement of 5000
infantry, which he had lately received
from France, joined the rest of his forces,
which now almost equalled Williams
army in number. He occupied very
post on the banks of the
Boyne, and, contrary to the advice of his
general officers, resolved to risk battle.

The eternal fitness Of things, SO often
violated, is beautifully observed by the
Critic in its issue OF Aug. IA. The lead
ing article is ga Thought on Shake

following are some samples of " English

ted by W. ]. Role, for the amusement Of
the Critic readers. The Swiss evidently
find the English language more than a
match for their powers Of comprehension
and expression. But their agonies and
antics are by no means SO extraordinary

from Arkansas City this week and de-
tends the Oklahoma business. He is en-
titled to his opinion in regard to that
matter, although President Cleveland

with him. We are reminded in this con-
nection of Judge Gary's charge to the
jury in the anarchist trial. After eharg-
ing the jurors in regard to the law on a
certain point in the case, the Judge told
them that they could set aside the inter
probation Of the court if they could say
on their oath that they believed they
knew the law better than the Judge. If

Of ribs, extending to the pelyis, as I'M
mOval as those above. He then asked the
doctor to place his hand over his heart
and said: "NOw feel on the right SIDE"
This was done, and a clear but more
RAPID uuisation was found there than on
the left side. His abdomen underwent
strange cOntortions, and the heart on the
lett side apparently disappeared from its
regular place, ard moved down TO a point
Just above his left groin, where She pulsa-
tions could be plainly felt. When the
heart lad gone back to its natural posi-
ton the negro placed his hands on his
breast, stopped the beating OF his heart
entirely, and apparently sustained ami
nation for nearly a minute, DR.. Smith
said.
"This is the most remarkable case l

it twice and could not detect the slight
est movement of the heart or pulse. When
he protested to move bis heart placed
the stethoscOpe against his groin and per-
ceived the presence OF an organ that re-
sembled the heart fully. 1t was the only
pulsation to be found on that side of the
body. Ii would seem as if the man had
no diaphragm. From what point is de-
