Cleveland stands on free-trade prin.

States. while General Harrison flies

broader and better defined issue than
those on which American Presidents

Collins, a prominent physician and
temperance lecturer, recently gave q
prescription for two ounces of
brandy, which was filed at the drug
house of R. N. Williams, AN out and
out prohibitionist. This is claimed
to be violation of the local option
law now in force in this city and
will very likely be made test case
as both parties say they are willing
it should be, and public sentiment
is greatly aroused in regard to the
matter. The local papers have sew
eral communications and articles OF
the subject and scarcely anything
else is talked of on the streets. TIL,
grand jury will probably take th'
case in hand.

rible wilderness" to the Promised Land of
their national independence, is frequently
employed as figure to describe the pilgrim
age of life, and the deliverance of mankind
from the bondage of sin and death into the
glorious liberty of the children of Con in the
kingdom of heaven. JESUS is the divinely
appointed captain of our salvation. The
light of divine truth revealed in the Gospel
is our guide in the way of salvation. That
is "the pillar of cloud and of fire" by which
to direct our march in the journey of life.
By its guidance we are to go forward in the
way of all divine duty, aud to wait for the
moving influence of the Holy Spirit. AS
many as are led by the Spirit of Cop, these
are sons of COP" (Romans viii. 14). By the
light of the Gospel the meaning of the dis
cipline of life is disclosed. GoD Is our Fa-
Their. Heaven is our home. Life is pill
grimage, and the souls divine opportunity.
JESUS is our Leader. The Holy Spirit is our
guide. The Gospel is our chart. The Bible
is our lamp of life, revealing all divine rela-
lions and the heavenly origin and destiny of
mankind. 1--WE believe that the Holy Scrip
lures of the Old and New Testaments con-
tain a revelation of the character of GoD,
and of the duty, interest and final destiny of
mankind"

from the Augustinian theology and back to
that of the first Christian centuries. Having
found the source of the Divine Fatherhood
in Divine love, and its outcome in the Divine
image in man, 1t follows that the relation
must be coextensive with humanity. and
enduring as God. Every being endowed with
a soul, therein possesses the sign manual of a
child of God. The bearings of this truth of
Gods Fatherhood upon the questions of hu-
man depravity, the problem of evil, retribu-
ton, human sorrow, human conduct, and
human destiny are discussed in the last half
of the book. The manual ought to go into
large number of Bible classes, and young
peoples religious classes, not only in the
Universalst body, to which Mr.. Adams be-
longs, but in our own, as the basis of some
careful religious study. We would suggest
that a new edition be supplied with a brief,
but carefully formed list of easily accessible
books for collateral reading. For sale at the
Office of THE UNIvERsALIsT. 1t can also be
obtained of our Field Agents.

aged fifteen years, one month and nineteen
days. Miss Jean was a sufferer for twenty
weeks from typhoid pneumonia and its en-

THE BOOK OF NUMBERS.

NAME.-The book of Numbers, from
which our Lesson is selected, is 80 called
from the account of the number ing, or en-
rolling the militia of Israel with which the
book begins. For defence against the war
like tribes which inhabited the wilderness OF
the peninsula of Sinai. through which the Is
raelites must pass in the journey to the Prom
ised Land, Moses organized the army OF
Israel. Another census or enrolment OF
warriors is recorded in chapter XVI, pre-
paratory to possessing the land of their prom
ised inheritance. Though Canaan was di-
vinely promised to the patIiarchs, as an in
heritance of their posterity, it was already
inhabited by a numerous population, and
could only be occupied by conquest But
the providential time of the conquest was at
hand. The iniquity of the people of the land
was now about full (See Genesis XIV. l6), ana
the people worthy to possess it were organ
lied and disciplined for its successful con-
quest (See Study, July 15). At each enroll
ment more than GOO, 600 men between the ages
of twenty and fifty were mustered. The CEN
sus would represent a population OF more
than two millions. The book is also called
sthe fourth book of Noses" from its place in
the Penta touch, collection of five books
of which Moses was the principal author.
CONTENTS.-The contents of the Book of
Numbers relates chiefly to the journey by the
Israelites from Mt. Sinai to the plains of
Moab by the Jordan, opposite Jericho, and
their sojourn in the wilderness, covering
period in their hi story of a little more than
thirty Eight years,-from the second month
of the second year after the exodus from
Egypt to after the death of Aaron on the first
day of the fifth month of the fortieth year,
from B. @. 1880 to 1852.

MANUALS OF FAITH AND DUTY

MANUALS OF FAITH AND DUTY.
The first of this series of books, d" The
Fatherhood Of God" by Rev. John Cole
man Adams, d. D., is having large sale.
Large numbers have been sold at the
recent Conventions. 1t can be ordered
directly of us or of our Field Agents, who
will be constantly supplied with copies.
Tcenty- fve cents will secure one of the
best, as well as cheapest books ever is-
sued by our church. One of our leading
laymen has ordered forty copies for dis
tributioD.
The following notice is from the Uni
tartan:
This Is the first of series of Manuals of
Faith and Duty" to be issued at intervals of
three or four months, by the Universalist
Publishing House Boston and Chieagol, for
the purpose of presenting in brief and rOpu-
lar form, the prominent teachings of the Uni
versalist body. Other subjects already an
nounced to follow this in the series are:
"Jesus the Christ" Revelation" " Retribu-
tion," THE Indwelling Christ" and "Heaven
and He'll"
This seems to us move IN the right direc-
ton, and one which other branches of the
liberal church may well copy. II has bee
the fashion in many quarters for some year
past, indeed ever since science came so prom
inently to occupy public attention, to decry
theology and philosophy as Improbable spec
ulation. The preparation of these manuals is
but one of many indications that there is
reaction beginning, which is destined to put
each of these great subjects once more in its
proper place, philosophy as the science OF
sciences, and theology as the philosophy of
philosophers. When that reaction has been
consummated, we shall have less of loose
thinking and talking upon many fundamen-
tai questions.
Mr.. Adams treatment of his theme, in this
first manual, seems to us admirable for the
purpose intended. The subject chosen he
justly regards as not only central in Christi
anity. but as pre-eminently the basis of liber-
al theology. In his treatment of the subject
he traces briefly the evolution of the thought
of Gods Fatherhood through the Hebrew and
Christian Scriptures, and the early Christian
Fathers, its transformations at the hands of St.
Augustine, and the movement now everywhere
clearly observable through Christendom away
