HOW CHRIST HELPS US.

AS many have supposed and still
teach, Christ has not come merely to
tell us that we are lost and perishing
sinners, needing Gods help and mercy.
He could not stop here and his mis-
sion of love be fulfilled. There is a
divine work to be wrought in the souls
of men, and so he comes with help from
Gods himself that help, the sym
pathy of God flowing out even unto the
death of the cross. But while he comes
with the encouraging word and the
healing touch, with spiritual force to
work upon the religious nature for its
redemption and culture, he by no
means purposes to do all while we do
nothing, lift us up out of an igno-
rant, lost and sinful condition as dead
and inert masses of matter, rather than
as living, cooperating men. He would,
on the contrary, awaken the slumber-
ing powers of the soul, and set them to
work for its amelioration, or for an en-
trance upon new and blessed life.
The great secret of bringing forth
much fruit, or, in other words, of all
advance in grace and holiness, is, &C
cording to the profound teaching Of our
Lord himself, constant keeping open
land if possible, enlarging) the avenues

CHICAGO MINISTER'S MEETING

The April meeting of the ministers
of Chicago and vicinity was held Mon
day, and was unusually full and inter-
esting. Fourteen we're present, as follows:
Members: Messrs. Adams, Alcott. Brig
ham, Chaplin, Oonklin, Cantwell, Hanson,
Nickerson, Ralph, Small, Slade. Web
ster. Visitors: Rev. Mr.. Bendixon
and Mr.. Charles Caverly.
The devotional exercises were conduct
ed by DIR. Hanson, and Mr.. Adams ad-
dressed the meeting on Sermon Topics"
giving conversational talk instead of a
regularly prepared paper. sermon I'll
Ties" he remarked, "are seldom import
ant, but the topic of sermon was. of
course the heart thereof" A sermon was
distinguished from an essay or lecture
and was defined as discourse which has
the ethical idea pre- eminent with refer
ence to the moving OF conscience and the
will. The ethical aim is paramount.
1t was urged that ministers should ar.
range subjects in series for subsequent
treatment, and the advice was given to
keep as many subjects on hand as posi-
BILE. They will come convenient at fu-
ture time. An earnest word was spoken
in favor of expository preaching, out not
the skeletonizsd preaching which some
times goes under that name; rather an
illuminated and clearly distinguished
treatment of the principles laid down in
the Scriptures. 1t was recommended
that ministers keep watch of the papers
and make a note Of the topics advertised
therein. Many illustrations were given
of the advantages Of wide and copious
order Of preparation for pulpit discourse.
A brief discussion followed, several of
the points made by the speaker being
extended and approved in the remarks
by the brethren. Rev. Mr.. Bendixon
who has just come into our ministry
from among the Norwegian Methodists,
made an address, in which he outlined
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-04-21

WE ARE asked for an explanation of
the term 'Morisonianism" which oc-
CURED in Mrs. Soule's article of fort
night ago, entitled 'Can Orthodox Min
listers Preach the Gospel ?'' "Mor-
risonianism" is the popular designation
of the opinions of Rev. James Morrison,
the minister of an Anti-Secession con-
gregation in Kilmarnock, Scotland,
concerning faith, the work of the spirit
in salvation, and the extent of the
atonement. His opinions on these
points were regarded by the Supreme
Court of his church as anti Calvinistic
and heretical. He was, therefore, de-
posed from the ministry in 1871. With
several who sympathized with his
views he founded in 1843, an asso-
gelical Union" The churches of this
denomination are mainly confined to
| Scotland, but their views have gradual
ly assumed an aggressively anti Calvin
istic form, and find many sympathizers
among the Congregationalists. "Mor-
risonianism'' may be termed halfway
station between Calvinism and Armin-
ianism. The ministers of this sect
are eligible for the pastoral charge of
Congregational churches in England,
and for some time negotiations have
been in progress for amalgamation with
the Congregational Union of Scotland.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-04-21

of the soul toward him. If vine
branch is to sprout and throw out new
shoots, the tube by which it communi-
Gates with the stock must adhere tight
ly to the stem, and be well open for
passage of the sap; or if the cold, in
sensible heart is to put forth the ener-
gies of spiritual life, and the dark heart
to be illuminated by the fair colors of
spiritual grace, the door Of communi-
cation between it and Christ must be
thrown wide open, that their life and
light which are in him may circulate
freely through its chambers, and pene-
trate every corner.
We all understand, of course, that
when Christ does any thing for man,
as when he enters into his heart by
means of his words of eternal life, or
when he feeds his hunger, and clothes
the nakedness of his soul, and fills it
with the spirit of God, it is because
the man exercises faith in him, for
faith is an act of self-surrender, an
opening of the mind, sentiment of
devout and unyielding trust. And as
we first consciously enter into fellow
ship with Christ by faith, so there is
no other way to abide in him than by
repeated exercises of the same senti-
ment. We are to confide in him with
an ever-tightening grasp of attachment
that as he has wrought out for us our
reconciliation to God, so he will work
in us every gracious disposition, be il
repentance, or faith itself, or humility
or hope, or love, which is necessary fol-
the perfection of the Christian char.
acter. Were there no promise to this
end, could it be question whether he
would form in US those tempers and
frames of mind which are essential tt
make us like himself, and therefore
like God ? If the soul has the least
dawning of desire to be holy, much
more, if tits bent on being holy, so far as
its power goes; still more, if it is reach
ing out with intense desire after eterna
life, with great longing for spiritua
freedom, it cannot be otherwise thar
that the Incarnate Love will meet thai
desire, that longing, that striving, ant
visit the soul with power.

THE UNION OF CHRIST AND HIS
BELIEVERS.

The leading of men to Christ is the
great intent of the Christian ministry.
Of this instrumentality it may be said,
that first in the line of it's employment
is the leading of men believingly to
Christ, who only is the source of re-
ligious vitality, through abiding faith
in whom, as the vine, they become liv-
ing and fruitful branches. Apart from
him, as he himself teaches, there can
be no spiritual life, and therefore no
growth; just as there can be no life nor
growth in branch severed from the
vine. United to him, feeding on him
as plants feed on the sunshine and the
atmosphere, the consequence is eternal
life. 1t is now as at the first: 1.-THE
heart wanted heart-life demanded
life." The world had lived long
enough on written promises; the cold
parchment was becoming colder day by
day. There was an aching at the heart
of society-a great unrest-an exciting
wonder. The divine call therefore that
came to men had a peculiar charm
| about it in so far as it demanded at
tachment to visible person. Not a
creed but life babe them "follow."
The world to-day is waiting for voice
crying in the wilderness that men are
to be saved, not by theology, but by
Christ. The church must go back to
Christ's own living and mighty way of
talking to craving and aching hearts,.
Throughout his ministry the exalta-
ton of himself was the most conspicu-
Gus feature "Follow me, come
unto me,"-"he that believeth in me-"
che that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me-"
this is the personal strain from
beginning to end, and it is the only
strain adapted to the capture and re-
demption of the world.
1t is the living, loving Christ men
want, rather than some doctrine con-
corning him. They need to have his
life brought into contact with their
lives-to hold face to face converse
with him-to receive of his fullness,
and to follow him in all faithful and
holy service.
In thus asserting the necessity of
union with the divine Son of MANA
union so vital as that he may be said
to dwell in us and we in him, lit is not
intended to deny, or in the least to
question, the spiritual power and eff
cacy of his Gospel. This Gospel, in
these days, is Christ living with us,
speaking to US, in divine contact with
us. 1t is his voice and touch,
and therefore called by an Apos-
tie the power Of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth. That it
is full of blessed help we know. It
reveals our possibilities, shows us the
heavenly way, lifts US out of any fallen
condition; if we have faith, feeds and
satisfies the hunger of heart and soul,
and makes all our burdens light. That
it is spirit and life, inspiration and
strength, armor and victory, is every
where proven and illustrated. To-day,
as always, it is Christ bearing our
griefs and carrying our sorrows, and
showing us how to triumph over
human infrmity in every dark and
trying hour.

ONE OF OUR Chicago Presbyterian
pastors declares the Sunday papers "the
Sunday sewers for Saturdays scandals. y
There is too much ground for believing
that the Sunday papers not only avail
themselves of Saturdays scandals, but
also work up the scandals of all the
week for the delectation of their Sun
day readers. A reform in the matter is
imperative if the Sunday papers are to
be welcomed into reputable houses.

MR.. BISBEE'S LEAFLET.

The twelve page leaaet, advertised
elsewhere in our columns, entitled "What
is Universalism ? The Question Ans
wered," is the work Of Rev. Frederick A.
Bisbee, the able young pastor of the
Church Of the Restoration in Philadelphia.
1t is leaaet of twelve pages and very
compact and satisfactory statement OF
the faith OF our church on the principle
points OF inquiry, such as Salvation"
the Mature and Work of Christ" spun
ishment," forgiveness" etc.
The circulation OF Mr.. Bisbee's lesflet
will do great good in every locality. It
is fact, of which we should never lose
sight that Universalism, as a system Of
faith, is not even now generally under
stood in the Christian communities Of
our land. There is no city in the coun-
try, no matter how long our pulpits
have proclaimed the doctrine of Gods
unfsiling grace, but where much gross
ignorance exists in relation to the teach
ings of our church. No better work can
be done for our faith than to secure a
general circulation Of such concise docu-
ments as this of the pastor of our Phila-
delphis church.
We annex few paragraphs from this
pamphlet that our readers may under
stand the way in which the writer treats
his chosen topics
God
Denying the doctrine Of the Trinity as
unscriptural, unre asonsble and useless,
Universalism affirms its belief in one God,
whose nature is love personal being of
infinite perfection, who has created man
in love, and sustains toward him all that
personal interest that is indicated by
Fatherhood.
AS revealed in the Scriptures. God is
shown to be all-wise, all powerful, and
all-loving. Reason confirms this revel-
alton by saying that anything less can
not be God, and in this perfection of be-
ing is the guarantee of the goodness of
his purpose, the wisdom of his plans and
the assurance OF success.
Man.
Universalism holds that man is Gods
child, and therefore partakes Of Gods
Dature, and that this truth is universal,
though that nature, in many, may be
deeply hidden by sin, yet it is never en-
