Churches in Relation to Missionary
Work" Rev. Miss Fleming read the last
annual Report of the Illinois Universal
list Women's Association; and Mrs. M. r.
M. Wallace, president OF that organiza-
tion, was introduced and explained it's
methods OF work. Sixteen memberships
were then taken by ladies present. Sun
day evening an address was given by
President N. White. of Lombard Uni
versity, upon christianity and Modern
CRITICISM" and by Prof. J. @. Lee upon
"Christianity and Humanity" During
this Association, action was taken with a
view to local missionary work under the
supervision Of the President, Rev. Geo.
b. Stocking, OF Peoria, and collection
OF Sl5.42 was taken to begin the work.
The time for the annual meeting was
fixed as the third Saturday in May and
the Sunday following. The next meet
ing will be held at Macomb. Resolu
hons OF respect were passed in tribute to
the memory of Rev. DR.. W. Fl. Ryder,
Rev. DIR. W. 8. BaIch, Rev. d. P. Bum
and Mrs. M. W. Conger. An earnest
resolution in support of the cause OF tenn
perance was adopted, and the generous
hospitality with which they had been en-
tertained was courteously acknowledged
by the visiting delegates.

OUR FIELD AGENTS.

Mr.. 3. 8. Williams is now in the South.
ern part OF Ohio, engaged in extending
the circulation of The UNIvERsAIIsT and
collecting back dues on the paper. He
will also take orders for books and attend
generally to any business for the West
ern Branch. Mr.. Williams has had quite
marked success in his mission to Ohio.
We trust that our friends will continue
to receive him cordially and give all as
sistance possible to his important mission.
Rev. j. W. McMaster, who is one of
the Field Agents of this paper, spent
few days last week in Chicago, and at
tended services at st. Paul's on Sunday.
May IL. he is also doing good work
and Is prudent and successful agent.
Friends of the Western Branch will, of
course, aid him all that is possible, and
thus help the paper and all concerned
MIR. McMaster is at present at work in
Illinois, and we are glad to say is we'll re-
ceived by the brethren.
These Field Agents are doing a very
important work for our cause, and are, il
the best sense of the term, missionaries
of our Gospel. Let them have a hearty
and encouraging support from preachers
and laymen.

grave, or wherever it has found a rest
ing place. Cremation merely hastens
the processes of nature. From the time
the body dies, and life becomes extinct,
the various gases and elements Of
which it is composed begin to do their
work namely, to reduce it to the small
est possible dimensions. Fire only
hastens the consummation the COM
bustion of the grave is just as steady
and sure in the end. Mgr. Preston
seems to have overlooked this fact in
rearing objections to the doctrine of
cremation.
The resurrection of the fleshly body
is one Of the old Jewish and Pagan no
tions incorporated into Christianity,
which is destined to pass away,-in-
deed has already partially disappeared.
'There is natural body and there is a
spiritual body" We have no evidence
from reason or from Scripture that the
natural body will ever be raised from
the dead. 1t is a material substance,
"of the earth earthly" and its useful
ness ends when the soul forsakes it
and death results.

IF A BODY of Universalist ministers,
discussing fanaticism, brought to the
surface the charges against the Method
ist Church, which appeared in the
Methodist Minister'S meeting on Mon
day, they would be accused of all sorts
of unfriendliness to the church thus
criticised. 1t is reported that at the
meeting, Rev. Mr.. Westergren, in ex-
planning Tor attempting to explain) the
difference between fanaticism and the
holiness movement, gave it as his opin-
ion that most of these SO. called holiness
movements, faith cure, and similar theo-
ries, are the direct outgrowth of fanati-
cism. Rev. j. l.. Foster remarked that
fanatics were running riot in nearly all
the suburban and outlying churches.
He had man arise in one of his prayer
meetings recently, and announce with
great vehemence, that he believed GER
tain woman to be the L ord Jesus Christ,
and urging that they all fall down and
worship her. Rev. j. Arnold volun-
teered the statement that he was pastor
of a church for one year which was
made up wholly Of holiness fanatics.
In their meetings they would go wild,
and shout, sing, pray, faint, yell, froth
at the mouth, or writhe on the floor in
paroxysms. They proclaimed their
sinless perfection on the streets and
everywhere, and were guilty of the
most audacious fanaticism. One year
satisfied him. The church afterward
fell to quarreling among themselves
and disbanded. This is not an agreeable
picture for Methodist pastors to draw
of their own communion, but they are
in good position to know the exact
facts, and no doubt the case is just as
bad as represented.

SPOON RIVER ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of the Spoon Riv-
er Association was held on Saturday and
Sunday, May 10 and 20, in the Universal
ist church at Avon. The pleasant wealth
or, the floral decoration of the church,
and the hospitality of the Avon people,
made the external conditions all that
could be desired, while the devout and
earnest spirit that prevailed made the
meetings edifying to all. On Saturday
Rev. Anna E. Fleming read carefully
compiled report on the state of the par
ishes at Swan Creek, Suez, Henderson,
Peoria, Galesburg, Macomb and Avon.
The total number of church mem bers in
these parishes is $685. and there have been
sixtythree accessions during the past
year. Br. G. A. Garst, of the Lombard
Divinity School, gave practical and
sensible address on Intemperanee and
its Suppression" Rev. Geo. B. Stock
ing spoke upon 1.-THE Sunday school
Work, its Greatness and Responsibility"
with the wisdom of successful experience
in this work. The Occasional Sermon,
on the theme, " Incentives to Higher Liv-
ing" from Psalm Xxi. 1, was delivered
Saturday evening by Rev. George Crum.
A large audience listened to the stirring
discourse.
On Sunday, the church was filled at
each session of the Association. Miss E.
L. Shaffer, of Lombard, lead the morn
ing conference. Rev. Geo. b. Stocking
preached from II. Cor. j. 7. Subject,
"The Law of Suffering" 1t was treated
with wide-reaching illustration and i'm
pressive thought. Rev. A. E. Fleming
received two ladies into the membership
of the Avon church, and also dedicated
the young son of one of them. The COM
munion was administered by the State
superintendent, Rev. L. w. Brigham.
On Sunday afternoon Rev. Geo. Crum
gave an address on "Revivals Of Reli-
gion in the Universalist Church" Rev.
L. w. Brigham spoke of the "Duty of

THE Inter Ocean says: The fact that
in the Methodist National Conference
Miss Frances E. Willard on Saturday
last received large vote for the position
of editor of the Christian Advocate of
New York is quite significant. That paper
is the most important one of the demon
nation. 1t has for some years been ably
edited by the Rev. DIR. Buckley, who was
reelected. The votes cast for Miss Willard
were SO cast in spite of the fact that she.
was not only not candidate, but had
telegraphed that she could not accept the
position. The vote was a well deserved
compliment to Miss Willard, and, without
any special knowledge of the motives of
those who voted for her, we infer it was
intended as something of a rebuke to DIR.
Buckley, who was one of the most persist
ent opponents to the admission of wo-
men as delegates to the conference. Miss
Willard was one of the delegates asking
admission which DIR. Buckley and other
conservatives succeeded in keeping out.
1t is easy to see what a severe but quiet
rebuke to the reverend Doctor these
votes cast for Miss Willard were. 1t was
more than one-fourth Of the Conference
saying, "The woman you closed the
doors upon is able and worthy to occupy
the editorial chair you have long and
ably filed" 1t is evident the movement
in favor of women as delegates to the
National Conference viii be heard from
in the future.

THE ELECTION of DIR. John 2. New
man as bishop is one of the surprises
of the Methodist General Conference.
Only few years ago he was conduc-
ting an independent movement in New
York, and it was generally understood
that he would not decline call to the
important pulpit then vacant by the
death of the eloquent Chaplin. Since
his return to the Methodist fold he has
been very popular, and has made friends
enough to give him a place on the
Methodist bench of bishops. Mug
wumpery in the Methodist church is
not attended, it seems, with any disas-
trous consequences. 1t is in the line
of promotion. In politics it is NOR g
serious offense.

ham brief course in Pastoral Work, be-
fore the Divinity School, last week."
Rev. M. d. Shutter, of Minneapolis,
has his vacation this month. He preached

The Los Angeles Tribune pays tribute
as follows: "Rev. Mr.. Conger, pastor of
the Universalist church, is one of the
most gifted divines on this coast. He
has been but short time in Pasadena,
but has obtained a strong hold on the
affections of his people,"
Miss Annie Leonard, of Pigeon Cove
daughter of the late Rev. Henry Q. Leon
ard-died Friday, May IL, after a short
illness, of pneumonia, at the age of 38
years. Adds the Cape Ann Advertiser:
"She was most estimsble lady, being
much beloved by all who knew her."
Mr.. Arthur Straub and Mr.. and Mrs.
8. W. Straub recently gave piano-forte
and song recital in the opera.house at
Hoopeston, Ill. That StrRub family is
a very popular musical combination. See

= MAY IS, of this year, died in Chris,
tiania, Norway, Professor Pontus Vik-
ner, the renowned Swedish philosopher,
at fifty-one years of age. Pontus Vik-
ner was a Universalist in faith, and
one of the noblest men that ever walked
the earth. Among the many who
mourn the early loss of the departed
thinker is our missionary to the Swedes,
Rev. August Dellgren, in Minneap-
oils, MINI. In a speech delivered at
the Young Peoples Missionary AS
ISOLATION in Galesburg, Ill, and printed
in THE UNIvERsALIsT in the spring
of 1885, Br. Dellgren, in words of the
deepest affection, mentions Pontus
Vikner, and states that it was through
his writings he received the better view
OF God and the world.

isters' meeting to put forward Rev. j.
P. Brushingham for an address, June
IS, before that body, on the Gladstone
Ingersoll controversy. Mr.. Brushing
ham is the pastor who is under serious
criminal charges, and who, after the
jury disagreed on the first trial, will
have to stand trial again this fall. 1t
might seem to people, who even dimly
recognize the proprieties, that man
whose reputation is so badly damaged
should be kept in the background at
least until the courts have decided on
his case. Such indifference to public
sentiment is not profitable in body
that is challenging the saloonists of the
city for offenses also against public
sentiment.

not be surprised at the news of his
death at any hour. 1t is sincerely
hoped that this brave soldier, who made
such gallant record during the war,
and who has been so true and faithful
to all his duties in war and peace, will
be spared. 1t is little that the country
can do now to mitigate the sorrow of
his family, but the overwhelming SYM
pathy of all sections go out to the brave
sufferer who is making a good fight for
life. 1t was reported on Monday that
bill would be introduced into the
House, on Tuesday, to make Sheridan
the General of the Army. If this plan
is carried through, it will show that
Republics are not ungrateful.

THE CHRIST AND MIRACLES.

In the discussion of the question of
the miracles of the New Testament
which is now coming forward from the
side of naturalism, and also independ
emily from the side Of hristianity, a
variety of opinions is presented. 1t is
widely recognized by believer and nom
believer alike, that what is termed
1.-THE miraculous" although the word
itself is perhaps unfortunately chosen,
is bound up indissolubly with the
authority and history of the Christian
revelation. 1t is therefore a subject
which is receiving constant attention
from those who would strengthen the
Christian faith; and also from those
who seek to undermine its authority.
The old view of what is named "the
miraculous, that it is contrary to
nature and antagonistic thereunto,-is
undoubtedly passing, if not already
past. The new view does not permit
the miraculous to pass under this
characterization. The theologian is
entirely behind the age who plants
himself on the position which was as
sumed when Hume and other deists
wrote against the miracles; who repre-
sents that the events recorded in the
New Testament, and which we style
miracles, are not also natural" in their
highest relations. The miracles are
no longer weighted down with the
heavy burdens which an irrational
theology once imposed upon them, ar
raging them as against natural law,
and representing them as opposed to
the order of the Divine Providence as
manifested in this world and through
the fundamentally of those laws by
which we recognize divine presence
and care in creation. 1t is as in harmony
with nature in its highest relations,
and as part of the divine order of the
universe, as yet not fully unfolded and
understood, that the supernatural is
now made to rest on its strongest
foundation. Miracles" says New
man, "while they are exceptions to the
laws of one system, may coincide with
those of another" Miracles are styled
supernatural. If they are thus CLASH
fed to distinguish their spiritual orr
gin from the ordinary sequences of
material history-otherwise natural
events-the distinction is convenient.
But with reference to our apprehension
of them, while they may be regarded as
battling the analysis of reason in its
present stage of enlightenment, they
may be of a class of phenomena of
possible apprehension where more is
known of Gods ways. 1t is this view
of miracle, which has now largely taken
the place of the old and indefensible
view, that they were events which
were contrary to natural law, which is
now generally defended by Christian
scholars.
1t is also clearly seen, and the fact
brought to attention more closely than
ever before in recent discussions,
that the revelation of God in Jesus
Christ involves in itself a recognition
of divine element in human affairs,
moving, operating and developing
finally in the production, under unique
conditions and amid environments
which cannot be accounted for by any |
purely natural hypothesis, of divine |
man who is Himself the greatest mir
acle of the ages. More and more are
men coming to understand that the
highest miracle of Christianity is the
production Of THE CHRIST. Before this

IT is ANNIVERSARY WEEK in Boston
We know it by the rain.

The ABLE EDITOR of the Free Church
Monthly, of Scotland, takes gloomy
view of the condition of religious life
in that country. He says: "a cold
blast is at present blowing over the
country which it will require all the
life and warmth we have or can get to
withstand" Scotland has seen the
time when the creeds emitted hot
blast, and when its preachers uncapped
the fires of hell for the warmth of their
congregations. 1t is not so any longer.
No wonder that change has come over
the spiritual climate.

illness, which was first reported on
Thursday of last week, assumed very
dangerous form on Saturday. He is
suffering from disease of the heart, and
several times last week was very near
death. Skillful medical attendance
and the prompt administration of pow

On Sunday he was not expected to live
twenty-four hours. Monday morning
also he was so low that the report of his
death was sent over the wires. Mon
