The Boston Transcript pays dese,v-
ed compliment to our Quarterly as fol-
lows: 'The Universalist Quarterly is
renewing its youth in new dress through
out. This quarterly has always occupied
an important position as an organ of the
Universalist denomination, and in the
present condition of the theological world
its influence is felt still more for good.
Under the continued supervision of it's
able editor, DIR. Richard Eddy, and with
its gifted corps of contributors, it will
accomplish special and benefcent work
in the future"

HE OWEN Sunday-closing law,
ross1tly enacted in Ohio, is likely to
prove effective under law enforcing
Mayors In Cincinnati warrants were
issued o. Monday for the arrest of
fourteen saloon-keepers who had kept
open houses, and the Mayor announces
that it is not unlikely that hereafter
the arrests will be made on Sunday.
The plea that the law was not properly
enacted was overruled in the police
court, Judge Caldwell presiding, on
Monday. 1t looks as il there was to be
determined effort to support the law
and close the saloons on Sunday. Gin
cinnati is a good place to begin the
great fight.

SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1888.

OUR new city council covered it
self with shame as with garment on
last Monday night, when it refused to
adopt the ordinance empowering the
Mayor to refuse licenses to saloons
located within certain distances of
churches, colleges and public schools.
There will be an end of this DONNA
tion of the saloon power in our politics,
even in Chicago, in the near future.
Decent people of all parties will unite
against it's unholy aggressions and
crowd it sternly to the wall.

We believe that there is one God whose

We believe that holiness and true happiness

Come, join in this song. Let it's glad notes of
greeting
Inspire every heart as the stratus shall as
To recall from its depths. mid the joy of this
meeting,
The love we would bear to our pastor and
friend.
For blessed in their measure-in trials sand
His years have been spared to the flock he
has led,
And our love. whose first dawning, o'erspread
his life's morning,
A radiance of bliss on its evening shall she'd
IT was the voice of people. in heart all
united,
That called the young shepherd their foot
steps to guide,
And he saw at their altar, whose fires truth
had lighted,
The loved Father bidding him come to his
side.
1t was duty addressed him, as gently it pressed
him.
He took up the staff that he henceforth
should bear,
And the toll scarcely needing, his flock he is
leading
Still leading through pastures all verdant
and fair,
If faith. all abiding, his voice is eer Gliding
The ills, that are tempting his people to stray,
It is his love that is burning and evermore
turning
The light of the truth on their perilous way.
And so from all sadness he leads them in glad
ness
Where virtues bright sunlight illumines the
day
No burdens imposing, but ever disclosing
The blessings of wisdom-the peace of it's
way.
And now, as he thinks of those eloquent faces
That gladdened his heart in the blessed days
of yore.
He remembers with sadness the still vacant
places
And those whose fond presence shall greet
him no more,
But the hearts of the living their love are now
giving,
To him and to her, his Companion. so dear:
And our prayers are ascending that peace,
never ending,
May rest on their pathway yet many year.

Gen. Gof' has been he idol before

years. and would like TO know what
he has ever done but talk. and we all
know that talk is cheap. Can any of
his admlring friends point to a single
act Of his that has advanced home in
dustry, or developed the unimprovcd
portion Of our commonwealth. His
great wealth has been privately invested
which, | admit, is his business: but
his friends should not claim for him a

THERE is ample room for reduction
of the existing taxes and of the bur
dens of the people without violence to
any interest. No extremes need be re-
sorted to. The measure of duty which
fill, the difference between the cost of
production here and its cost abroad and
transportation to our shores is protec-
ton to labor and fair competition to
the employer. The measure which
goes beyond that limit is monopoly to
