capped at the last. The evil-doer needs
to be convinced Of the inexorable JUS
tice of God; that there is no escape
from the penalty of sin: that swiftly
upon the heels of every fransgression
follow the judge and the executioner {;
that there can be no peace for the evil
doer; that there is a moral law that
cannot be evaded and that the re-
sources of the Infinite are pledged to
the enforcement and vindication of
that law; and these truths Universal
ism teaches with emphasis and so is
useful as terror to evil-doers.
The teaching of Universalism as to
the degradation, loss and suffering
which are involved in sin, and the bless
edness which inevitably follows obe-
dience, is good for calling men to the
work of Salvation. If -.od intends
that sin shall be banished from his uni
verse, if he intends thab we shall be
brought to love goodness AID achieve it
in our characters, if, by lis very nat
ure, he is pledged to use his infinite
resources to accomplish that end, then
there is every reason why we should try
to work with God instead of vainly
seeking to work against him; every
reason why we should begin now, and
begin earnestly, the work of self con-
quest, the work of buildingup our lives
in those graces Of holy character that
constitute salvation. Because saliva
tion is matter of right cl aracter, and
such character will not he ours with
out our personal effort, the doctrine of
universal salvation is a call to univer-
sal effort. Its doctrine of the relen55-
less, pursuing love of God, which will
not let US go until we are brought to
choose and serve the right its idea of
the conditions that make the blessed
ness of heaven, here and Hereafter its
portrayal Of the exhaustless love of
God for his children, and It's teaching
that the divine love and human posi-
bilities were revealed in Christ, make
Universalism good for the work of sal
walton, and call upon the believers in
this faith to walk worthily as children
of the light.

cumstance5, in which he now sees
everywhere protecting hand. He looks
back on trials and disasters which he
found it hard to bear to disappoint-
ments which at the time appeared to
be intolerable Now the setting sun of
his life parts the clouds through which
it has travelled during the day, and
throws radiance of glory, beauty, and
blessing on the long succession of his
years. Strength has come to him
through this discipline. He has learned
to be patient, to be generous, to be self
forgetting. He feels himself more aud
more in the presence of a Heavenly
Father, whose hand has led him through
these varied scenes. What once looked
like the work of an evil destiny he now
finds to be the leading Of tender Prov
idence.
We often think, before experience
has taught us better, that prayer is only
contemplation, meditation; that the
only answer to prayer is the reaction
Of our own thoughts-that it is not
communion, but self communion. We
say that God will not change his laws
in answer to prayer, and having said
that We think the question settled.
Yes. He does not change his laws, but
may it not be one of his laws that those
who ask him sincerely and earnestly
for inward peace, light, strength, par
don, comfort shall receive it? Far
down in the mysterious depths of the
soul, below any distinct consciousness,
is the region where we are in commun-
ion with God. We hear no sound
there is no tempest, no earthquake, no
fire-but voice so low and sweet and
still, that we only know the peace that
comes, the strength that is given, the
comfort of the Holy Spirit shed abroad
in our hearts, and we say, Il was weak;
am strong"
The little child, in its childish grief
runs to its father and mother that it
may be folded in their arms. That is
enough. We go to our Heavenly Faith
er, and that is enough. Is an earthly
father nearer than he I? Is any mortal
tenderness so divinely tender as his
Shall We allow any little theories of
law and causation to come between lis
and that great source of peace? AS
the years roll on our trust in the Heav
emily Father continually increases, and
our faith in prayer grows till it be-
comes like that of Jesus, unwavering
and sure.-REv. J. FREEMAN CLARKE.

TEXAS.
THE STATE ASSOCIATION MEETING.

The fourth meeting Of the Texas Asso-
citation, and the second annual meeting
of that organization, convened at Hico,
April 20, and continued in session three
days. Rev. James Billings presided.
The services were held in the Christian
church. There were four clerical and
twenty-four lay delegates present. Waco,
Fort Worth, Hico, Meridian, China
Springs, Commanche, Cayote, Alexander
and Farmersville were represented.
A resolution was adopted for resolving
the Association into a State Convention
at its next annual meeting. The Asso-
citation adopted plan for Church Ex-
tension Fund, the interest of which shall
be appropriated semi annually for the
spread of our faith in Texas. 3775 was
raised in promises to pay" among the
delegates present. Notes for two.t thirds
of this amount were given, bearing ten
per cent. interest.
The Association adopted resolutions,

opposed to all wars; g. opposing capital
punishment.
The reports Of the preachers present
from various fields of labor, embracing
important sections of the State, showed
growing and increasing interest in
Universalism among the people.
The debate held in Collins county, in
February, between Rev, J. X. Street and
Rev. Mr.. Nelson, resulted in great
good to our cause in that section. Two
debates are to be held in the near future,
one between Rev. James Billings, State
Missionary, and Elder Z6chias, of the
Christian church; the other between Rev
j. K. Street and Elder w. A. Jerrel, of
the Baptist church.
The following named persons were
elected officers for the ensuing year:
President, Rev. James Billings, Hico;
Vice President, II. E. Conger, China
Springs; Secretary, Rev. j. K. Street,
Fort Worth; Treasurer, Captain O. Gar
ret, Hico; and an Executive Board of five
to cooperate with these officers. Rev.
James Billings was elected as the occe-
sional preacher for next year; the meet
ing to be held at Fort Worth. Mrs NJ q.
Billings preached the Occasional sermon,
and there were services and sermons by
Brs. Street, Billings and Mrs. Billings.
The Lords supper was administered on
Sunday afternoon.
The occasion was one OF the most en-
joysble. Mother Wheeler, of Waco, an
aged servant of the Lord, now in her
eighty second year, was present, and she
greatly enjoyed the services, it being
her first opportunity to hear our faith
preached for several years past She is
truly "a mother in Israel" The good
people of Hico opened their doors and
hearts and received the Association with
great cordiality. We confidently expect
much good to come of the meeting.

works, was printed in his own name in
1854. A second series of poems by Mr..

Washington, March IA majority Of
the house committee a.s commerce hay.
agreed to report favorably Mr.. Raynor's
bill to provide for the establishment Of o
postal telegraph. This bill, which ia
offered as q substitute for other bills in
regard to the regulation OF telegraph
companies, is said by. MIR. Baynor to
have the Endorsement of the knights OF
labor. Ii provides for the appointment
OF fourth assistant postmaster general
TO have charge OF postal felegsaphs and
to cause to be constructed telegraph
lines eonnecting oil cities and towns in
the United States having q population
OF 800 or more. The secretary OF war,
with the approval OF the president, ia to
purchase the right OF way, or il necessary
take 1T and let the price be fixed by the
court OF claims, The secretary is also
authorized upon the same terms to take
and use all machinery and appliances,
whether patented or not. but not in-
oluding telegraph lines owned by persons
and corporations. IS
For commercial messages the rates
fixed by the bill vary from 10 GEMS for
twenty words for distance OF five hun
dred miles to 80 cents for twenty for
distances over $500 miles with proper
tional increase for each additional ten
words or less. For press dispatches the
rates fixed by the bill are one third of q
cent per word for one thousand miles or
less, and one and one-halt cents per word
for over $500 miles, but the postmaster
general is authorized TO reduce these
rates TO meet competition.
Provision is made for telegraphio
money -orders, stamps and postal cards
and kilograms are made privileged COM
munioations in law to the extent that
private letters are, and all provisions of
low relating to the secretion OF dsstrue-
ton or to the receipt, transmission and
delivery OF mail ss letters are made ap-
plicable, so far as pertinent, to the tele.
graph. Nothing in the act shall be con.
strued to prevent individuals or corpora
items from operating telegraph tines. The
bill appropriates $1,000 900 for the pur-
poses mentioned therein for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1888.

on territories Mr.. Springer may be able
to smother this measure in the commit.
