ARE NAUGHTY THINGS NICE7

A little girl, who had been corrected
for some pet fault, asked her mother in
perplexed tone, mamma, why is it
that naughty things are so nicep'
Alas! it is an old question, as old as
Eve herself, who probably thought the
forbidden apple was very nice. 1t is
the illusion of all wrong-doers. Trans
gression looks very sweet-at first.
And precisely this mistake has been
often made by theology. Theological
doctrine has been shaped by this Ilu-
sion rather than by the terrible reali-
ties of life. 1t has taught, or, at
least, it has implied, that in this
world sin is very delightful, and that,
but for the terrors of judgment after
death and an endless hell beyond, men
would rush into all kinds of transgres-
sion, as cattle into clover field. 1t
has been one great argument for the
doctrine Of endless torment, that only
the terrors Of final retribution hereafter
will keep the world straight here.
But what are the facts? Are
naughty things really nice? Does not
penalty follow straightway on wrong
doingp Was not Shakespeare's theol-
ogy sound, when he wrote, Every
inordinate cup is unblessed and the in
gredient is devilp" Says the Script
ure, 1.-THE soul that sinneth it shall
de-" And does it not always die?
The degradation of character, the
decay of the noble nature, the gradual
sinking Of the man into the beast or
the fend, is not this spiritual death?
And is it not terrible thing, even
when there are no immediate agonies
of conscience? But does not conscience,
sooner or later, make for the wrong
doer hell on earthP Does not every
sinner find, sooner or later, what the
drunkard finds in his delirium tremens,
that naughty things are not nice?
If we look, then, at the terrible facts
OF life, brushing away all illusion, we
see that hell is here and now, as well
as hereafter, that sin is always misery,
and that an endless hell is not needed
TO warn transgressors against the i'm
agined delights of wrong-doing. For,
as long as a soul plunges downward
into darkness and away from God, it
will suffer; and it will suffer more and
more, until at last the suffering be-
comes so intolerable, that the illusion
of the delightfulness of sin is swept
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-07-14

changes we have felt that we were TAX
ing in something unchanging which
could be taken in. And this may give
us the hope that the last change will
have like result, the last death a
corresponding life to US. We may
have the confidence of this, if we realize
the thought of an everything God, who
not only gave being to our souls, but
holds them in bis hand, and puts into
them desires after himself. All the
changes, whether of life or death, can
not affect our relation to him, except
in bringing us nearer. Without an
eternal God, what refuge would there
be for troubled souls2 When the sea
is tempest-tossed, we flee to land; when
the land quakes, we look to heaven;
when all things are dissolved, then to
him who says, 81 am the Lord, /
change not" We may lie quietly down
in our little earthly homes when we
have the overarching sky Of Gods hand
above US, the shadow of the Almighty;
and we may lie down hopefully in our
graves when we commit ourselves to
an unchanging God. 1.-THE eternal
God is thy refuge, and underneath are
the everlasting arms. '-Reu. John Ker,
d. d.

SUMMER RELIGION.

By common consent the activities of
the church in the cities are either in
termitted or abated during the heated
term. To close houses of worship al
together, unless for necessary repairs,
does not appear to be exactly the right
thing, as thus an unfavorable impress
sion is likely to be made on the public
mind touching the great interest in
volved, besides the putting of the can't
getaway population to serious disad-
vantage in carrying out their convic-
tions of duty. Neither is it admirable
to fill the temporarily-vacant pulpits
with unacceptable and inefficient sup
plies. Far wiser would it be to have
some strong instructive and attractive
preacher proclaim the truth, even if it
should be to several contiguous and
united congregations, in this way
furnishing him with an encouraging
audience and kindling the enthusiasm
which is essential to the completeness
of all public assemblies. By such a
course the good cause would be propell-
ed with success, and that depletion of
churches averted which is so hard to
overcome by the autumnal zeal of the
guardians Of the folds after their return
to their routine Of labor. One thing
is certain-that the summer vacation
of pastors and people is not an actual
loss to Christianity, as some good peo-
pie seem to fear it is. Pastoral life is,
in all respects, an irksome and exhaust
ing one, and requires intervals of
travel and repose to give it permanent
freshness and force. The regular visi-
tors to the sanctuary, also need recrea-
ton, change of scenery, and new sur
roundings for time, that their droop-
ing energies may be revived. Hence,
all reasonable people should be more
than reconciled to the brief absence of
their spiritual overseers and fellow
church-members. Especially should
this be SO in remembrance of the fact
that such absentees are legitimately
supposed to carry with them the spirit
of their professions, doing good as they
have opportunity wherever they 60,
and thus making what might appear a
local loss to religion general gain in
the grand result Many spiritually
destitute neighborhood, by the mount.
ain or the seaside, has experienced
large and lasting benefit from the tenn
porary residence of benevolent visitors.

THE ETERNAL GOD.

The undergraduates of God in the
midst of all the changes of our life is a
deep source of comfort. Those ancient
saints dwelt upon it more than we
seem to do, and they were made very
strong by it. 1t consoled them in the
absence of the clear view of their own
