THE OHIO CONVENTION.

Our Ohio friends are on hand very
promptly this year with notices of the
Convention which assemblies in Stry-
ker, Williams county, on the first week
in une.
We give again this week the invita-
ton of the Stryker parish, and COM
mend it to the attention of all who pro-
pose attending the Convention; and we
also publish notice touching the rail-
road arrangements. Concessions have
been made which may possibly result
in reduction of fare. The communi-
cation of the secretary gives particu-
lars, and we refer the reader to it for
full information.
1t is necessary for one hundred dele
gates and visitors to be present to
secure the reduced rates. 1t would
certainly seem as if this requirement
might be easily fulfilled. Let the act
i've parishes in the State see that they
are represented, and let visitors be on
hand in good numbers on the important
occasion.

his believers. Our personal response
to them will decide whether we are ac-
cepting the revelation which has come
to us of God in the Christ, in the way
in which the Gospel requires. This is
the necessity which is involved in obe-
dience and love; it is a personal matter
for each and all who would be true fol-
lowers of the Master. Such questions
come to each and all who seek by
personal holiness the true way Of sal
walton. We may say it is not acknowl-
edgment alone, but duty carried out
to its full requirement. 1t is not SEN
timent alone, but the practical appli-
cation Of the Gospel in its true power
and fullness, to those who logically re-
ceive the revelation.

DIR. MINERS FORTY YEARS.

The close of the fortieth consecutive
year Of the pastorate of Rev. DR.. A. A.
Miner over the Second Universalist soci-
ETY., Boston, was marked by reception
in his honor, held in the vestry of the
church on Columbus avenue, Thursday
evening, May 3. This was an event SO
unique, and the close of a period so i'm
portant in the history of the Universalist
denomination, that the members of this
historic parish determined to make its
celebration an event long to be remem-
bered. Accordingly committee was ap-
pointed to invite the Universalists in Bos-
ton and vicinity to cooperate with the
society in extending a reception to their
pastor. Invitations were sent out in
large numbers, and in response the spa
cious rooms of the vestry were thronged
with friends and well-wishers of the pop
ular preacher. Universalist clergymen
and laSmen prominent in the country
were present in large numbers. The
rooms had been tastetully decorated, and
to the strains Of pleasing music the guests
moved about, willing the time pleasantly
away with laughter, chat and mutual
congratulations. DR.. Miner was kept busy
shaking hands with the rapidly increas-
ing throng, and il was a remarkable fact
that of the 500 or more present he could

THE GRAND MISTAKE OF ORTHO.
D0XY.

There seems to be widespread pref
udice against the doctrine of the final
salvation of all men, arising out of an
impression, if not out of positive con-
viction, that such result necessarily
implies, or involves, inadequate or I'M
certain punishment, or the definite set
ting aside of divine penalty and that
therefore only easy-going people, who
have not much serious thought, and
who have loose notions of virtue, of
justice, of righteousness and of penalty,
can entertain and advocate such a the
ory. That, however, in our judgment,
is great mistake-a grievous misap-
prehension. On the contrary, none
are more clear and definite in their
thought, or more rigid in their convic-
tions, concerning these things. Those
who believe and advocate this theory of
divine purpose and human destiny, do
it upon the firm conviction that penalty
is inevitable for every sin, and upon the
actual offender-there is no escaping
justice by substitution. They believe
that the most strict, perfect and abso-
Lutte justice will be done, and that there
fore the Almighty will finally and in
evitably, through these agencies of his
severity, accompanied with other agen-
cies of his enlightening and redeeming
grace, subdue all souls to himself.
We believe in the immutable persist
ency of omnipotent power, and of in
finite justice and love, until the whole
intelligent universe is brought into SUBJ
lection, and under the sway, of perfect
obedience and absolute holiness. The
penalty of God, the justice of God, being
certain, make this result Inevitable,
and doubly inevitable, when we take
into account the nature of every attri-
butte, and the operation of all the man
fold, eternally enduring, and infinite
energies of Being of omnipotent
power, and of infinite wisdom and love,
whose absolute justice can never be full
filled or satisfied, merely by punish
ment, however severe, or however long
continued, but only be the perfect ODE
dience and perfect holiness to which
punishment leads, and in which all d.
vine penalty is designed sooner or later
to eliminate.
Without such result, an endless
punishment would not only be aimless
punishment, but it would be an infinite
injustice, an infinite cruelty, an infinite
abomination, and would reveal God as
a moral imbecile and fiend. J.G.

1.-THE NOTICES,

In this age of cheap printing, postal
cards, telephones, typewriters, and the
many devices to duplicate advertise
ments and circulate notices, it would
certainly seem as if there might be
some plan devised for relieving the
pulpit of the duty of reading the usual
string of notices on Sunday, and max
ing the minister a bulletin board for
the congregation. The matter strikes
an intelligent observer in the same way
and he prints his complaint in one Of
our city papers, as follows:
1t is Sunday morning and you think
you will 60 to church. The suggestion
is put into execution. The object of this
resolution is to hear good sermon, or,
if not essentially good, to be entertained.
Having selected the church which you
will attend, You present yourself to one
of the gentlemsnly ushers, who seats
you. The morning lesson is read, divine
assistance invoked, and the choir adds to
the interest. You are now ready for the
sermon, but the pulpiteer hesitstes and
then announces:
Sunday school will be held this after
noon at o'clock. At 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
Young mems prayer meeting Tuesday
evening at quarter to z. At quartz,
TOT.
The ladies OF the church will meet in
the parlors of the church next Wednes-
day afternoon at Q o'clock. (Hers follows
an exhortstion in behalf of the social
which is meritorious, OF course.)
A morning collection will be taken UP
for the benefit (here the benefit is named
in addition to the regular collection.
The synod Of the church will meet il
this house on Tuesday and Wednesday
Here you get history of this synod
and its object.)
Several other notices are read, and the
minister, tired out, gives you bis text and
| delivers his sermon.
Those notices are of interest to the com
municant, of course. But to the stranger
who is within the gates they are of nc
concern, and he is tired out by the time
the sermon is presented.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-12

THE BISHOPS of the church in their
annual address took ground against the
admission of the sisters, and assumed
that the question was not one which
the General Conference had the consti-
tutional right to determine. This was
taking for granted that which demand
ed proof. The contrary opinion was
advocated by number of delegates.
1t was broadly asserted on the floor
during the debate that the bishops had
no right to PREJUDICE the question in
this way; and it was cogently argued
that if the General Conference had
power to construe the constitution in
regard to the admission of local preach
ers, it had the right to construe the law
in regard to the eligibility of women.
The debate was interesting and vigor-
GUS and brought many advocates of the
women bravely to the front. The agi-
tation on this subject has but just be-
gun. 1t will continue until the Meth
odist church accords the right to wo-
men to voice and vote in its ecclesias-
tical councils. 1t is too late period in
what Victor Hugo calls 1.-The Woman's
Century to infer that the triumph Of
conservatives on this question shall
stand as the verdict of the church. 1t
will no doubt be reversed and women
admitted by the time of another quad
rennial conference. In the meantime
Francis Willard and her associates will
have still further opportunity to
educate the Methodists to the full
understanding of the amplitude of
character and life which men will at
tain when they and women live in the
same (MethodisD world"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-12

Miss FRANCES E. WILLARD in her
annual address at Nashville, Tenn,
said: "Under the curse man has two
worlds and woman only one; he ran
sacks the ages, spoils the climes', then
comes back to her world and finds her
waiting. Under the blessing man
and woman 60 hand in hand wherever
they are called to go at ALL" In the
same address it was also remarked
''In an age of force woman's greatest
grace was to cling; in this age of peace
she doesn't cling much, but is every
bit as tender and sweet as if she did.
She has strength and individuality, a
gentle seriousness. To meet the new
creation how grandly men themselves
are growing The world has never
yet known half the amplitude of char
acter and life to which men will attain
when they and women live in the same
world"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-05-12

THE ABOVE are glowing words which
will no doubt awaken a response in
many masculine mind and heart
among our readers. We quote them
as furnishing the philosophy and
soothing qualities which will be need
ed in view of the decision reached on
Monday, at the Methodist General Con-
ference in New York, when the vote
on the question of the admission of
women as lay delegates was acted on
and the proposition rejected by vote
of 173 to 249. Miss Willard was her.
self one of the excluded delegates. The
debate was continued several days only
to reach this adverse result. 1t would
seem as if the Methodists were still
under the curse;" they prefer their
own little world of the conference all to
themselves. "Man and woman" can
not at present, Ego hand in hand' into
the Methodist Conference; the Method
lists draw the line there, even if the
advanced churches elect women as del
egates to that august body.
