The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-19

A WRITER in Christian at Work sug-
gests that every Society of Christian En-
desvor in the land, comprising, as report
ed, more than 10000 members, should
make it one OF the main objects Of con-
slant effort to stop Sunday mails and
abolish the Sunday newspaper; what
might not be hoped for from such unit
ed cooperation of Christian power and
influence? They would find themselves
backed by thousands of unwilling toilers
for others on that day, and even by many
prominent officials in the management of
railroads all over the land. These de-
murrers are not ali actusted by the re-
igious aspect of the matter; but they are
claimants of one day OF rest in the seven
in common with the public for whose
pleasure they are obliged to make labor

Rev. S.'STALL, in his new book entitled
" Methods of Church Work." remarks OF
children and the church: It is sadly to
be regretted that SO few parents bring
their children with them to the services
of the church. They seem to think that the
SundaY-school is the children's church,
and the children are likely to come to
regard the Sunday. school in the same
light, and therefore when they have at.
tended upon its session, they regard them.

the attainment of their own wishes. The
great trouble, however, is that when chill.

teen, they are likely to drop out of the
school, and be lost both to the school
and to the church"

THE BIBLE OUR GUIDE.

No denomination of Christians can
affirm more truthfully and emphatic
ally than Universalists their allegiance
to the Bible as their guide and author
ity in matters of faith and practice.
From the birth of the doctrine of I'M
limited salvation as a theological prop
osition in competition with those of
an opposite character--from the time
of Origen to this year of grace-advo-
Gates of Gods impartial love, of mans
redeemableness, and Christ's limitless
reign in the souls of Gods intelligent
creatures, have closely adhered to the
Sacred Volume as their reliable in
structor in religious things because it
contains revelation" from the
Father to his children upon the earth.
Whenever it is asserted, by any man
or woman, that Universalists are in
fidels, rejecters of the Bible, regulators
of Jesus the Christ, as the divine
leader and teacher, that assertion is
essentially false, whether deliberately
uttered or spoken as the unfounded
belief of ignorance and bigotry. The
history of Universalism in this country
is luminous with the names and records
of men and women Of the strongest in
tellects and purest characters, all of
whom held firmly to the Holy Word as
their unimpeachable witness to the
will of God respecting the ultimate
salvation Of every soul.
1t is with justifiable pride that
present believers in this grand Bible
truth point to this fact in their church
history, that no person who has ever
spoken with authority from and for the
denomination has declared his or her dis
belief of the Bible as the highest source
of belief. 1t is now felt by all who stand
in responsible positions within our ranks
that a departure from the standard of
the past and the present, in this regard,
would be attended with injurious
results to the cause they seek to serve.
True, there may be changes and
advances in interpreting the Scriptures;
there may be progress in the needful
process of eliminating error from truth,
the mythical and legendary from that
which is undeniably correct as the
teachings of the original writings in
Hebrew and Greek; also in unfolding
the exact truth of the least debatable
passages of both books of the divine
messages. This we should desire
while cultivating warrantable conser-
vatism with reference to the long estab-
lished canons of biblical study and
the time-honored conclusions of the
best intellects that have given their
carefully wrought deductions on the
most important doctrines and on those
portions Of Scripture which have had
the greatest variety Of interpretations
in at least all the years Of our existence
as an organized body.
There can be no doubt but that in
the main our fathers in the faith were
correct in their methods and in their
doctrinal views. Let us have a care
that in advancing we do not remove
too many of the old landmarks and
with them destroy that which is of
permanent value to us as a Christian
sect. We have no fears, owever, of
any disastrous results. Gospel Ban
ner.

A TRAMP THROUGH SWITZERLAND. By BENZ.

A SHEAF OF SoNG. By Benz. F. Leggett, au-
thor of " A Tramp Through Switzerland"
12mo, 154 pages. New York: John B.
Alden.
The first of these volumes is pleasant de-
scription of three weeks summer trip
through Switzerland, made after the manner
and style of Bayard Taylor-on foot, the
tourist having more time than money at his
disposal. In his three weeks tour, Mr.. Leg
gett was able to visit the prominent points of
interest in the wonderland of Europe. His
little book contains a very good description
of Switzerland and its many features of local
and historical interest. The volume also
contains brief chapters on emit. Vesuvius
and Pompeii," "Oldenwald' and "The
Black Forest"
Mr.. Leggett's "Sheaf of Song" is pleas
ing collection of verse, containing many
poems of more than average merit and some
of them of very pleasing melody. 1t COM
pares we'll with similar volumes of COL
lected verse. The poems on Burns Birthday
and cat edarcroft"-Bayard Taylor's old
Pennsylvania home-seem to us the particu-
ar gems of the volume.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-19

volume consists largely of Mr.. Hood course
of lectures, delivered some years ago in Bos-
ton, which attracted so much attention. The
author is an English preacher, who died re-
Gently. He will be remembered for his vol
umes on pulpit eloquence, entitled, /" Lamps,
Pitchers and Trumpets," which were well re-
ceived some twenty years ago. The volumes
now before us contain some of the material
used under that title, and a previous publi-
cation of Mr.. Hoods entitled, 4" The Preach
er's Lantern" Paxton Hoods vocation"
was that of a preacher to preachers; and
these two volumes contain the best results of
his life work. They are exceedingly inter-
esting and useful discourses, now thrown
into the form of chapters. The Preachers of
the Early Church, The Medieval and Post
Medieval Preachers, Preachers of the Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth Centuries, and the
Great Preachers of Modern Times, are de-
scribed and their gifts analysed. The vol
umes are biographical and also well filled with
anecdote. There are also chapters on sub
jects relating to the preachers work, meth
DDS of study, sources of oratory, eloquence,
the use and abuse of the imagination, the
pulpit in poetry and fiction, and many other
topics which will be found useful to the cler-
gyman who is not too old or too proud to
learn. The volumes are well indexed and
contain a wealth of material industriously
gathered from worldwide sources, with
much valuable suggestion from the author
himself along the lines where the preacher
needs enlargement of vision.

HALLAM,s nMIDpLE AGES. y

HALLAM'S MIDDLE AGES"
VIEW OF THE STATE OF EUROPE DURING THE
MIDDLE AGES. By Henry Hallam, LID.
Complete, with all the Notes, in four small
quarto volumes, cloth, each so cents; post,
10 cents; per set, $1.75; in two vols, half
morocco, marbled edges, per set, $3.50;
post, 40 cents.
This edition of work of profound research
and of standard value in English literature,
is furnished by Mr.. Alden in two styles, as
set forth above. The copy before Us is the
two volume edition, copiously illustrated.
We suppose that it would be styled the libra
~ edition, while the one in four volumes is
better adapted for students and schools
"Hallam's History of the Middle Ages" has
tent critics and historians as Lord Macaulay,
Chancellor Kent and Prof. Smyth, the great
historical lecturer of Cambridge University;
and in fact since it has been before the pub
lie it has elected tributes from multitudes of
scholars, and has been highly commended as
one of the great works of the present cent
ury. Hallam not only gives narrative of
the great events in the history of Europe
during the period usually denominated the
Middle Ages, but he also draws lessons of
craftsmanship and history from those events
in highly judicial and impartial manner.
No person can truly be said to be acquainted
with the history and condition of Europe
during this period without having consulted
and digested Hallam's comprehensive pages.
Macaulay said of Hallam that I" his specula-
tions have none of that vagueness which is
the common fault of political philosophy.
On the contrary, they are strikingly prac
teal and teach us not only the general rule,
but the mode of applying it to solve particu-
lar cases." The publication of this great work
in such good form and at such reasonable
price, is another of the triumphs of Mr..
Alden as publisher, and one which we hope
will prove as remunerative as the work now
before us will prove valuable to the present
generation.
