Sc MORE LIGHT.1
Editor Democratic Press


Without desiring to take any part
in the controversy now agitating the
readers OF your paper as to the com.
parative merits of Orthodox and Uni
versalist preaching, 1 wish to remark
briefly upon two passag IS in the protest
of the Ortb Odox clergymeD, which
created in my mind so much surprise,
that 1 write, hoping to bs enlighto ed
on the points involved.
The first passage reads: 1.-The dis
tinguishing fundamental principle in
our theology is salvation from sin by
such faith in Jesus as brings obedi-
ence to His word and spirit" Is it
possible that orthodoxy has so changed
that its fundamental principles can be
embodied in this statement? For
twenty-five years | was member OF
an orthodox church, but never once
heard its distinguishing principle for
mulated in that way. Is it not rather
Salvation from sin through accep'
tance of Jesus death and atenement
on the Cross, which alone satisfies
for the sins of the worId?' Many
Unitarians and Universalists can sub
scribe freely to the statement as giver
by the clergymen.
My second remark is upon the fol
lowing passage: "The only flaming
sword that has ever been put at the
the gate of Heaven is thiss Except ;
man be born again he cannot see thu
Kingdom of God But this SAVIOR
er. All teachers of liberal religion
insist that man must be horn az all
that is, converted from love of sil
to love of righteousness-mus feel tn
renewing power of change of pur
pose, before he can see the Kingdom
of God, either in this life or the life +
come. Most truly it was Jesus VIII
made this condition. 1t was He ala
who said "Ths Kingdom of God
within YOU" Instead of this simple
clear, and grand utterance, did not tn
clergymea mean, Except man be
lieve that Jesus is God, and relies o.
the atoning merits of His blood, h
cannot see the Kingdom of God d?
That we can all recognise as orthodoxy
Fairness of statement is an essentis
in all controversy; and before it ca
be decided whether the distinguishin
principles of orthodoxy can bear th
criticism of advancing civilization,
is best to know exactly what they are

WE had supposed the merits of the
Dow Law were mainly in its regula-
ton of the sale of malt and spirituous
liquors as a beverage-neither intoler-
antly restrictive or loosely licensing
in its powers and application. In
amending it so as to make a uniform
tax Qicense) of $3.50 upon its sale, a
great deal was said by the friends of
the amendment in regard to the in
creased revenue 1t would bring into
our depleted State Treasury. Profess
edly the authors and friends of the
measure regard the traffic in intoxica.
ting liquors unqualifiedly an evil.
What new light has dawned upon
them, that they now advocate it as q
measure and means of revenue? Has
there been a Temodeling of the moral
code of ethiss, whereby an act or avO-
cation inherently wrong may be IL
censed solely as means of relieving
US of our financial stress? Is this its
chief merit, that of increasing the
revenue2 Or are its regulative powers
and virtues to be understood as rela
ting not to the sale, but to the reve
nue., derived thereby of liquors Un
doubted!y the amendment is expert
mental, in sscertaining whether al
additional tribute shall be levied upol
the traffic, to lubricate the tinancia
machinery of our State Government
and should it prove inadequate, w
