DIVINE INFLUENCE ON MAN.
BY REV. WILLIAM TUCKER, d. d.
Mount Gilead, o.

God is mans Creator and Father.
We derived our being from him. We
were made in his likeness intellectually,
morally and spiritually. AS our Crea-
tor and Father he must be interested
in us, and must love US and provide
for us. The relation of Father would
give him access to us and influence
over us. This is the doctrine of all
religion. Faith in divine influence and
control is one of the common faiths of
humanity. 1t is a necessary and fund
amental element in religion.
Ourconfdencei in providence and NOR
al government, in prayer and inspira-
tion is a part of, or springs from, this
faith. Without such confidence ra-
tiOnal religion would be impossible.
Mans nature is created for, adjusted
to, and is in harmony with such divine
influence, as the eye is to the light, the
ear to sound, the reason to the truth,
and the heart to love. Such influence
is necessary to the action of his spirit
ual faculties aud the growth, develop

Mrs. ELLEN TUPPRR, widely known as
an entomologist, and familisrly termed
" The Bee Woman" died recently at Ell

daughter. Another daughter is Rev.

The Coagregationalist tells the follow
ing story: Speaking of getting into the
wrong pulpit We are reminded OF an
amusing description given us few years
ago by friend III the Unitarian ministry.
Preaching for Sunday at FItchburg, he
was wrongly directed, and got into the
pulpit of large church Of the standing
order He took out his sermon and was
just ready to commence when the proper
incumbent appeared. Matters were soon
explained, and the stranger directed to
his own place But when he had safely
arrived there, he found to his dlsmgy that
he had left his parchment IN the other
pulpit. There was but one thing to be
done; and he bravely faced the music
(liteIally for the service had begun. and
walk ed up the long broad aisle of the other
church, recovering his manuscript, and
marching out again, considerably to the
amusement of the great congregation,
who took in the situation"

ture.
Such divine influence on man is in
harmony with all the analogies of ma
ture. We know that matter attracts
matter-that physical, chemical, and
magnetic attractions are universal.
Mind also acts on, and attracts mind,
thought awakens thought, love enkind-
les love, will controls will, goodness
inspires gratitude, and truth is re-
sponded to by faith and confidence.
These facts teach US that the Divine
can attract the human, that the spirit
of God can influence the spirit of man,
and the divine thought quicken our
thought.
Gods goodness awakens mans graf
itude, his holiness quickens mans con-
science, his truth inspires mans con-
fidence, and his love kindles mans spir-
itual affections into glow.
This divine influence God exerts over
man by the revelation he makes of
himself to man in nature, providence,
history, in man, in Christ, in the Bible
and by his spirit to mans interior con-
sciousness. Through these modes of
revelation he reaches, moves, attracts,
elevates, quickens and inspires mans
whole nature.
God thus comes into union and COM
munion with man. In this way God
instructs, governs, controls, guides, di-
reefs, comforts, strengthens, heals and
saves man. He is the divine teacher,
the spiritual comforter, the light, life
and Saviour of men. He is our friend,
ever ready to help, bless and save US.
We should open our intellects and
hearts to the influence of his truth, love,
and sympathy. We should trust in
him, and respond to him by faith, love,
obedience and gratitude. This is the
answer we should make to his glorious
revelation of himself in his works and
word.
BY thus responding to Gods revela-
tiOn of his truth, goodness, benevo-
lence, justice, mercy and love we grow
into the divine life, and develop char
acter in harmony with his nature and
law. In this way we get the God con-
sciOusness, or the consciousness of the
life of God, in the soul of man. The
divine indwelling spirit fills us with
light, life, peace and joy. Man is thus
made strong with divine strength, wise
with divine wisdom, pure by the inhu-
ence of divine purity, and happy by
an influx Of divine Joy. This influence
enriches human life, and beauties hui
man character.
Man becomes more truly human, as
he becomes more truly divine. Life
becomes more important and valuable
as it is seen to be a part of the divine
plan of the universe, as God comes into
it and fills it with his presence and pow
er. 1t becomes one of the important
factors in providence, history, progress
civilization and salvation. The divine
plan developed by human action under
divine influence is Gods method of
saving the world. Man in this way
becomes worker for God, and Co
worker with God for his own salvation
and the salvation of tn 9 race.

With great gratitude to Almighty
God for moving the heart of his servant
to these generous endowments for his
Church, we may now rightfully place the
name of William Henry Ryder in the
honorable galaxy of the benefactors of
the Universalist Church. With Packard.
Goddard, Dean, Harsen, Gum, Buehtel,
and others who have made large gifts to
the church, DIR. Ryder will go down to
posterity in blessed company. His name
will be perpetuated in the various benev-
olent funds which he hes instituted. Illi-
nois, New York, Ohio and Massachusetts,
as we'll as his beloved Chicago, and the
Universalist Church, in all quarters of the
lsno, will revere his memory, and genera
tions of the coming ministers of our
church will profit by his wise and far-see-
ing generosity.

DIR. RYDER'S WILL.

In the issue of The UNIvERsALIsT for
last week we gave condensed staten ent
of the denominational and charitable be-
quests contained in the last Will and Tee
lament OF DR.. William FL. Ryder. That
article was prepared and put in type only
a few hours after the probate of the Will,
and without personal inspection of the
document. On this account we feared
that we might have fallen into some error
of fact or figures which may have mis-
led our readers. We have now carefully
examined copy of the Will and find that
our article gave a correct outline of the
important document. DR.. Ryder's direct
bequests to our Church institutions
amount to $4,000; to Chicago $4,000,
with the Universalist Publishing House,
the three divinity schools, and Buchtel
College as residuary legatees.
The Will is in DR.. Ryder's handwriting
and is very carefully drawn. 1t was
signed and sealed on the thirteenth day
of April, 1886, and witnessed by Robert
A. Childs, George H. Leonard, and Otis
Fl. Waldo, all of Chicago. 1t is very
lengthy document and would cover some
twenty pages of legal cap in type writing.
1t contains eighteen sections.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-03-31

The 1st, I'd, Sd and 4th relate to the
family bequests. With these the public
are not concerned, and accordingly they
receive no detailed mention here.
The 5th section relates to the bequest
to Provincetown, Mass, in which $4,000 is
given to the First Universalist Society, as
stated last week, for relieving the neces-
stiles Of the worthy poor residing within
the town." The income Of this fund is to
be paid over to a committee of ladies
belonging to said Universaist Society,
chosen at any annual meeting, 20 be ex-
pended for the purpose named.
The 9th and 7th sections are the be-
quests to ex- President Weston and Rev.
n. R. Wright.
The 8th section is that relating to the
bequest to the First Universalist Society,
(St. Paurs), Chicago. This fund (Sl0,-
000), is placed in charge of the trustees Of
the society, and the income is to be de-
voted to "such objects and purposes as
shall be determined and voted, from time
to time, by the said society, at its annual
meeting" 1t is also distinctly stated
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-03-31

The will is one of the most noteworthy
made in the history of Chicago It not
only makes a specific distribution of
$4,000 for denominational and char
liable objects, but it also makes over
the residue of his large estate to the
institutions of the Universalist Church.
Pending the settlement of the estate no
one can say what the residue will be-
it will depend largely on the conversion
OF the stocks and securities of which the
estate is largely composed Enough is
known, however, to made il probable
that these residuary iegatees will share
largely in the final distribution of the es-
tate; and the result may prove that the
great bulk of DIR. Ryder's fortune goes
to denominational objects and the char
tiles of Chicago.

published-about one-twenteth of the

is most touching true story by Margaret
Owen Foster, entitled "The Little Captive
Chief" The incident happened in Oregon
about thirty years ago; it shows how COM
pletely the Indian nature may be reyolu-
tionized by life among civilized people, and
also how readily the civilized nature re-
lapses when thrust back into barbarsm and
savagery. "An Evening at Carlisle" by
Miss Sparhawk teacher in the Indian

for the education of all our young Indians.
