preceded the taking of a generous col.
lection for the Gum missionary relief
fund of the Universalist General con-
ventiOn. DR.. j. II. Tuttle, of Minneap-
oils. delivered an able discourse, based
on Psalms H., 10. "David," he said,
ways man after Gods heart. No fall
OF man is irreparabe. Man can rise.
Man risen is the David with heart
made clean. The Psalmist's prayer is a
| fit one for all. Cleanliness is natural
instinct, the law of our nature.
| We like clean hands and faces
and love clean hearts. Society
| is better than it appears on the surface.
| Police reports are small part of the
| doings of men. Evils come to the sur
! face and are reported, because they Gre
mon, and so remain unmentioned. Base
as men may be, they might have been
worse. Washington was as great at
Valley Forge as in victory. Man may
be as great in apparent defeat as in sue
cess. Man is not judged for what he
does so much as for what he desires to
| do. The inner, not the outer life,
| is the supreme test. Credit is
| given for good, though broken.
| resolutions; cleanliness is habit that
| becomes strong by cultivation, and the
| opposite is also true. But there is no
| soul so unclean that it cannot be made
clean. David's prayer finds expression
| in many forms-for reforms, relief for
the poor and suffering, for hospitals
| and asylums. This is sign of the up
ward tendency in morals and re-
ligion. The world is not growing
worse, but better" At the close
