DR.. TALMAGE AND THE FUTURE
LIFE.

DR.. Talmage delivered an excellent
discourse on Sunday morning, June 10,
from the words of the Psalmist: with
long life will 1 satisfy thee" 1t was
clearly shown that correct living, phys
ically, morally and spiritually, as well
as intellectually, are the sum and sub
stance of true religion. The doctor
says: 'sIt is not work that kills men
but worry" And again: Practical
religion is friend of longevity in the
fact that it removes all corroding care
about future existence. And before
l had this matter settled with reference
to my future existence the question
almost worried me into ruined health"
No believer in the doctrine which the
Saviour taught when he said, ''In the
resurrection they are equal to the angels
of God in heaven, neither can they die
any more, for they are the children of
God, being the children of the resurrec-
tion;" or when he said, "And if be
lifted up from the earth will draw all
men unto me-" ever worried himself
into ruined health" The question that
worries people most is not whether
there be future life, but what are the
conditions of that life. But how does
it come that the doctor has this ques-
ton so we'll settled in reference to his
own case2 Has he become convinced
that he is lone of the elect?" Has
he perfect assurance that his own
case is forever settled, and in such a
way as to give him reason to be per-
fectly happy How does he know but

THE SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAV0R.

In THE UNIvERsALIsT of July 81
is an article entitled christian En-
deavor." The writer finds fault, and
justly, with the theology presented at
the General Convention of these socie-
ties held lately in Chicago, and says
this theology will prevent Universalists
from joining these societies. He
heartily commends, however, their
spirit and purpose, and earnestly wishes
The UniveIsalist Church had an organi-
cation like it in spirit with the objec-
tionable theology removed.
The object of the present article
is to show that the idea of the Society
Of Christian Endeavor has no connec-
ton with any system of theology, that
there is no reason why any Universalist
church might not organize such soci-
ETY. out of its own members, and to
relate our experience.
In the first place it is my candid and
carefully formed opinion that the idea
upon which the Society of Christian
Endeavor is foundedist the most valuable
idea, and is capable of the most good in
its line, of any idea that has gained a
foothold in our church. Our young
people are naturally as religious, as
truly desire to train their religious ma
lures and to express their religious
feelings, as earnestly desire to do Chris
tian work, as the members Of any Of
our sister churches. The devotional
meetings in use in the Christian Church
has, neither in method nor in thought,
been suited to our needs. The Society
of Christian Endeavor can be more per-
fectly adapted to all the desires men
toned than any organization that has

THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH.

The church of Christ, not any par
ticular branch of it, but the universal
church of Christ, stands for the prin-
ciples of justice, righteousness and
love. The church is the seed ground
of Gospel truth, and this truth is the
power of God unto salvation to all who
believe. The church is organized
Christianity; Christianity adapting it
self to public service. The church is
the one authorized, popular, persistent
teacher of Gospel principles. In the
church you find these principles in
their greatest purity. In its pulpits
you find their finest, most radical, most
earnest and faithful presentation.
Many things might be said if one
wished, perhaps, against individual
church members. None of them are
perfect in every word and act, and
never have been since John called Judas
thief, or Paul called Peter a hypo-
critic. But this does not change the
fact that the church, as the religious
institution of which the Lord Jesus is
the founder, is the persistent teacher,
the everlasting friend of those princi-
pies promulgated in the sermon on the
mount; principles which will eventual :
ly change human society into fore
taste of the heavenly. The church is
built upon the teachings of Jesus the
Christ, as its chief cornerstone. These
teachings are the holy leaven, which,
dropped into human affairs, will grad
ually change the whole into their own
heavenly spirit. The church is, finally,
the hope of the world. Under its flag
the world marches on to its grand
destiny.
Universal salvation, as conceived Of
in that branch of the church, which
makes it special matter of faith, is
not question of somehow getting to
heaven and being happy there; it is a
question of lifting universal humanity
up to the measure of the stature of the
perfect man, and SO establishing earth
ly society upon the foundations of the
heavenly. Believing profoundly in the
fatherhood Of God, the brotherhood of
man; moved by the spirit of truth and
the power of love; recognizing the
value of organized helpfulness in the
world; trusting devoutly in the promise
that Christ must reign until he has put
all enemies under his feet, the UniVer-

had ceased to love, whom the merciful
Redeemer had left off seeking, and who
had, therefore, been hopelessly doomed.
The idea of an irreversible decree pro-
nounced upon every soul at death, is
against all tradition concerning the
faith of the early church, and is unsup-
ported by Scripture. There are in
dications many and strong that the
church is breaking away from these
rigid doctrines, and going back to the
more kindly, humane idea that death
does not fix our destiny, but the love Of
God, the redeeming power of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the cleansing influence of
the Holy Spirit, extend over all worlds
and may be visited upon us in all
worlds alike. To pray for the dead is
not, therefore, foolish superstition,
but pious Office of faith, a holy sacra-
men of love.

THE Christian Evangelist in late is
sue, INDUCES in what might ba called a
bit of plain speaking; and which might
also, if found in a secular paper be con-
strued into profane speaking. To call
anybody an imp of the devil is surely
wrong in a Christian, as it is unbecom-
ing and vulgar in anybody of ordinary
sense of propriety. ''If his Satanic
majesty is capable of gratitude, he is no
doubt profoundly grateful to the preach
ers and religious newspapers of America
for the extraordinary amount of gratui-
tous advertising of his wares through
their notices of the empty rhetoric of
R. G. Ingersoll. Rsfute Ingersoll and
people who, but for your review, would
never have heard of his arguments, will
seek his books and read them. Brethren
of the press and pulpit, after you have
excused this additional bit of free adj
vertising, let us go out Of the bust
ness of advertising the devil by review
ing his imps."

DIR. SIvARTHA, of this city, has gone
to England for the purpose of organizing
colony of English Jews for the re-occu-
patton OF Palestine. A number OF Jewish
families from Chicago are preparing to
leave in the autumn, and interest in the
undertaking seems to be growing both in
this country and in Europe. DR.. Sivar-
tha's plans include the recognition of
Palestine as an independent nation by
the main European powers. The city of
Jerusalem, it is hoped, will be rebuilt by
these new settlers on plan in harmony
with the Scripture accounts of the ancient
city when in its glory. It is designed to
make it the seat of learning as well as
the political capital and religious center
OF the nation. What God may have in
store for this strange, virile people it is
not for the world Of to-day to determine.
A people with such past may well look
forward to future.

A friend of the cause from one OF the
Western States writes us: being inter
ested in the spread of Universalism in
this city, know of no better way at
present than that some denomin ational
paper be placed in the homes of the peo-
pie. 1 take the liberty of writing you,
and will send you a list of names of those
1 think would subscribe if you will send
them sample copies. 1 have recently re-
moved here from Maine. We are max
ing sn attempt to establish church here,
but lack of money for starting may delay
the work, il not prevent it. The har-
vest is ripe" We set this down as an
example worthy of all imitation. There
would be- fewer isolated believers if all
such would follow the example 80 wisely
given them by this brother. This spirit
ought 20 be contagious.

salist church would do what it can to
fulfill its own hope, answer its own
prayers. The church should take up
this work with sopne sense of the
grandeur of it. Instead of thinking of
ourselves as too small TO be of much
account we should regard ourselves as
one company in the army of the Lord;
one branch of his holy church uni
versal, marching to the overthrow of his
enemies under the invincible captain
of our salvation. Keeping our eye on
the object to be accomplished, the aim
which the Gospel has in view; believ-
ing in the final establishment of right
eousness and peace; our sacrifices
should be offered like those of old,
with the song of the Lord and with
trumpets."
, Whether we unite with the church
or not, whether we will support the
church or not, is not question for in
dividual ease or convenience to de-
termine. 1t is question which reaches
past all this and links itself with
worldwide duty; with the fulfllment
of the promise which was with God
from the foundation of the world. To
join the church of Christ, to do what
can be done for its upbuilding in the
earth for the sake of the sublime mis-
sion it has to universal humanity, is
the positive duty of every man OF
woman, no matter what social or intel
lectual position he, or she, may occupy

MY word shall judge you. The word
of Jesus was love. This is emphatic
ally his word. No other human being
has the same right to it that he has. He
alone has lifted it out of a sentimentinto
a principle; he alone has lifted men up
into knowledge of it in all its breadth
and height. In breadth it includes
the whole race of humanity, in height
it includes God. Wide as the universe,
high as God-it judges all sentient be-
ings saying in wonderful tones, ''Dost
thou love God with mind, might and
strength, and thy neighbor as myself"

PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD.

The thought that the souls of the
dead might be helped in the work of re-
pentance and publication by the
prayers and devout offices Of the liv-
ing is very old one. Several passages
in the New Testament indicate that
this was the idea in the early church.
Paul's interrogatory in the letter to the
Corinthians concerning baptisms for
the Dead EFF the dead rise not at all
why then are we baptized for them?n-
indicates very clearly that the custom of
baptizing the living for the sake of dead
was well established.
That we may pray with and for our
dead is very holy and beautiful
thought. In.the light of such thought,
death, instead Of taking our dead away
from us, leaving us stranded here on
the shores of time while they sail out
on life's limitless sea beyond reach of
thought or Of loves yearnings, brings
us very near to them, keeps them with
in reach of our prayers. If, perchance,
they may have been wayward or diso-
bedient children of the divine Father
we may still plead with him in their be-
half, doubling nothing Of his power to
change their motives and desires; moth
ing of his love to forgive their wilful-
ness and take them to his heart. What
a solace to the mothers heart that she
is still permitted to plead with God for
her wayward child, even in that world
to which he has passed with all his
transgressions on his head.
The resurrection from the dead can
be nothing different than the rising up
to face in our own personal identity and
circumstances the reality of spirit
ual things. But death cannot bestow
upon any soul the power to enjoy its
new spiritual environment. This can
only be done by being brought into har-
mony with those laws which God has
ordained for our growth in spiritual
life. God, the principles of his king
dom, the need of inward and spiritual
harmony, will be the same there as here.
What precious thought that we may
be still busy with good offices in behalf
of those who are dear to us, but who
yet need to be brought into these har-
monious relations. What consoling
hope that our loved and lost are not
gone out of the reach of the sympathy,
the yearning of our poor hearts; but
that we are permitted by the infinite
grace, the loving kindness of our
Father in heaven to reach them in our
hours of communion, and to join our
prayers with theirs that all peace, all
faith, and love and truth may come
into their souls; and that God will
vouchsafe US the assurance that heaven
is begun within them. What a COM
fort to the dying to know that we do
not pass out of the memory of the dear
ones we leave behind, that their pray
ers still ascend lovingly to their Father
and ours, that the blessed influence of
his truth may be so shed abroad in us as
to- speedily cleanse our hearts, and
make them his own fit dwelling place.
That this was the faith of the early
Christian Church we have every reason
to believe. 1t was the rankest Calvin
ism that taught the world to believe
that any soul passes Immediately at
death to'an irreveIsible doom of misery.
Breaking hearts had small reason to
offer prayers for those souls whom God

DIR. WILLIAM BARROws is accused
of having played good joke off upon
some of his conservative brothers in
the Congregational church. At a
meeting of the Suffolk, Mass Assc-
citation he preached sermon writ
ten forty years ago. When criticism
was called for, every man among
them condemned it. Explanations be-
ing in order, were given by the doctor.
The brethren had breath and heart
enough left to laugh at the joke, and to
appreciate the fact that they have all
taken step forward in forty years.

stomachs.

dence in the earnestness and deep con-
viction of the men whom he has thus

how essential to the very existance of
society are the principles of honesty, CO.

THE Joliet penitentiary was the scene
of arather novel but interesting spectacle
a few Sundays ago. Several years ago the
Legislature passed an act permitting
ministers of any denomination to visit
the convicts for the purpose Of religious
instruction. The Catholic priests have
been foremost in the work of ministering
spiritually to such as we're of Catholic
psrentage. ASundsy- school was started
three years ago by Br. Adiutor, who still
keeps faithful oversight of it. The
school is now under the charge of Father
Francis, a Franciscan monk who has
been assigned to it by his order. On the
Sunday alluded to above, Bishop Spald-
ing, OF Peoria, assisted by several fathers
of the church and Br. Adjutor, confirmed
forty-five of the convicts. One of the
men was under sentence for life, and
others for many years.
