FACTS TO REMEMBER.

1t is remarkable fact which is fill
ing the Evangelical camp with alarm,
that the results of the Universalist ex-
animation of the Scriptures are sus-
tanned by the best scholarship of the
present generation. The books of the
age, from the revised version of the
Scriptures to Archdeacon Farrar's
''Mercy and Judgment" concede point
after point claimed by Whittemore,
Ballou and Murray, the fathers of
American Universalism.
There is scarcely point essential to
the integrity of the Universalist in
depreciation of the Scriptures which has
not been quietly allowed by the most
able and eminent scholars and Biblical
critics of the day; and when so con-
sentative body Of men as the scholars
who revised the New Testament hest
tate to call 'gehenna' hell; when they
concede that the lend of the world"
may after all mean ''the contamination
of the age;" when they have felt con-
strained to soften the word damnation
to Judgment, and hell to ''hades'' or
to "sheol," one would almost think
that Hosea Ballou had had final re-
vision of their work.
1t is not only true that the latest
scholars of the church teach interpre-
tations of Scripture entirely in accord
ance with those on which Universalism
is supported, but also that the earliest
teachers of Christendom and those who
stood the nearest to the sources of
Christian doctrine, the immediate sue
cessors of the apostolic fathers, were in
many instances Universalists. The
study of early church history makes it
palmer every year that the belief in the
final restoration of the wicked, far
from being nineteenth century novel
ty, appears as a constant form of faith
for at least three centuries Of the ex-
istence of Christianity.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-26

loving service to Christ. And that
never was secured by the display of
the threat of endless perdition. We
grant that what Mr.. Beecher says, is
true, that ''love without law is mush. "
Universalism never asked anybody
to believe in nerveless, inane God,
who has not the force to punish, or the
will to chasten and discipline. Its
hand of warning and exortation always
is Though hand join in hand the
wicked shall not be unpublished" But
if love without law is "mush," law
without love is sand in the teeth, and
raises all the repugnance and the hatred
of our human nature. Man feels the
horrible doom of endless torture for the
sins Of a short life in the earth to be
unjust. And he never will be brought
to the eternal life by the threat of an
unjust fate.
Universalism teaches that there is
no salvation without repentance. And
teaching that all men must be saved
far from lulling men to sleep, it rouses
them to the most healthful moral activ-
ity.

CHURCH ENTERTAINMENTS.
Usage, Ia.

If one has talent for doing anything
that will earn money, and, having
earned it, gives it to the Lord quietly
and humbly-is not that better than
working spasmodically for season in
behalf of bazaar where people are
urged and cajoled into buying because
it is for the church %? If one has no
talent for the construction of articles for
the market, and must render service by
work along some other line, can not any
parish clergyman find more real divine
service for that person than by giving
her dozen tickets to sell, or dozen
names of people from whom to solicit
provisions, or asking her to stand for
hours in hot room, behind gayly dec
Grated booths, button-holing men and
women, whom she may or may not
know, to buy this or that d" for the
church -? There is much real work to
be done by both men and women who
can not of their financial ability give
much, but who are anxious to serve
their Lord in the strengthening Of his
church. There are families to be looked
after, children to be rescued from the
gutter, and interested in the Sunday
school, sick people to be read to, mis-
sionary boxes to be worked for, district
visiting, etc. Is there not in every
parish, almost, something needing at
tention that women could do without
calling in paid help? But this is not
pleasant work always, it is not readily
seen or appreciated of men, and, per-
haps, some think that it is too mean a
service to be of account in His sight.
But with all reverence think He would
bless as readily the woman scrubbing a
corner of His temple, as the woman
standing on step-ladder mailing sup
port for booth decorations. People
must be educated up to the point Of
giving, for the sake Of giving, and it is
slow process. Most of us have given
up the I" chance" and LOTTERY" ele-
ment in entertainments. 1t is only one
step further in the same direction to
give up the entertainment itself. In
the end it will involve no oss.-Beverley

OUR NORWEGIAN CONVERT, Rev.
Ole Bendixon, has been engaged in
holding Sunday services among his
countrymen in this city for the last
three Sundays. These services are in
the line of experiment, and are designed
to test the practicability of perma-
nent mission. 1t is too early as yet to
reach any definite conclusion, but we
may say that the interest in the SER
vices is growing, and that the meetings
held last Sunday were more encourag-
ing than on the two previous Sundays.
If a mission among the Norwegians
could be definitely planted and put
upon financial basis, no doubt it
would grow and in time develop into a
self-sustaining church. But the work
will require patience on the part of the
missionary and the people who give it
support. In all these missionary move
ments-especially among foreigners
two things are absolutely demanded :
First, money to meet the expenses and
secondly, patience to await develop
ments. Mr.. Bendixon is strong man,
we'll armed for his work, with practi-
cal gift and excellent common sense,
and is worthy of encouragement. We
trust that he will be well sustained in
the effort which he has now undertaken.

NOT AUTHORIZED.

In the proceedings of the Western
Unitarian Sunday-school Society, held
last week in connection with the ses-
sion of the Western Conference, as re-
ported in the Tribune, we read as fol-
lows:
The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones led the
discussion entitled "a Normal School
in Morals and Religion" In the course
of this he made the first public an
nouncement of a normal school soon to
be established here by the liberal church
societies. 1t is to be called 1.-The Alli-
ance Lectureship for Instruction in
M erals and Religion" The four Uni
tartan, three Universalist societies and
those of Prof. Swing, DR.. III. W. Thomas,
Prof. Salter and Rabbi Hirsch are in
terested in the movement. twill have
a board of directors, consisting of a
lady and a gentleman and the pastor
from each church.
In another city paper partial list of
lectures is given, and the name of the
pastor of the First Universalist church
(St. Paul's), is set down as one of the
lecturers. We understand from Mr..
Adams that he has not authorized the
use of his name in this connection; and
moreover, we doubt if any sufficient
consultation has been had with our
other city pastors to warrant the pub
LEGATION that the Universalist churches
are to unite in this new Lectureship.
The announcement, so far as relates to
the Universalist societies, is undoubt-
eddy premature.
We say this much without pre-judg-
ing in the least degree the proposed
organization, or intimating what the
decision will be when the matter is
duly considered by those interested, of
our own particular church. In mat
ter of such Importance as this, it is, on
many grounds, desirable to Ego Slow"
and certainly no one has any right to
commit another church to the move
ment unless there is distinct under
standing in the premises.

in upon them with their presence and
good wishes. After dinner many short
but impressive speeches were made. All
seemed to vie with each other in trying
to do honor to the good mother. Seldom
do people celebrate eightieth birthdays,
and more seldom do they celebrate a
birthday of one who is go worthy of the
best eulogy man can pronounce. Mother
Bishop has lived long life, but every
day has been one of peace and good will
toward every body.

prepared by her faith to apply this
scientific example in the illustration of
her own faith in the final moral har-
mony Of the intelligent creation of God.
Only believer in this profound truth
could recognize and apply the illustra-
ton with such beautiful and convinc-
ing emphasis.
The quotation which is made above
| occurs in an article in recent number
of the Neeo Princeton Review, written by
an Orthodox clergyman of fine literary
instincts and not of All illiberal spirit.
| We wonder if Rev. r. S. Mac Arthur
the recognized the significance
of the application which Miss Bremen
made of the scientific fact ?
1t has become possible in recent years
for Orthodox clergymen to present
Universalist conclusions in the form of
fine literary statements; that is, state
ments made in literary articles with no
special theological or dogmatic drift.
This is fine sample of kind of writ
ing which is growing very popular and
that is made one of the channels for
the dissemination of Universalist prin-
ciples and conclusions in form that
will not challenge public attention.
Universalists, however, are quick to
recognize this drift or tendency at the
present time; and can see what it
means and understand something Of its
full significance. Miss Bremer's appli-
cation of the scientific fact is clear
enough to all who understand Univer-
salism. We trust it is equally clear to
all who use the illustration.
