UNIvERsALIsr PROFESSION OF FAITH.
ADOPTED 1903.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain a revelation of the
character of God and of the duty, interest and
final destination of mankind.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-12-01

We believe that there is one God, whose
nature is Love, revealed in one Lord Jesus
Christ, by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will
finally restore the whole family of mankind to
holiness and hannineSS.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-12-01

We believe that holiness and true happiness
are insepaTably connected, and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order, and
practice good works, for these things are good
and profitable unto men.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-12-01

more equitable basis Notwithstanding
the fact that every barrel of flour ex.
ported represents I bushels of wheat,
congress, at its last session. refused
this request. and passed a bill in which
many of these luXuries were placed on
even lower rate Of duty. The millers
further asked that the reciprocity
feature of the then existing tariff law
be allowed to remain in force. This
was also disregarded. and as result
Spain has abrogated her reciprocity
treaty with the United States as to
Cuba, and Brazil ha, given notice that
her treaty will be abrogated January
lst, next. To Cuba, the mills of this
country shipped last year nearly 900,-
600 bbls of flour, where scarcely any
had been shipped before the treaty was
effected. The amount shipped To Cuba
last year exceeded the amount shipped
the previous year 10y 10000 barrels.
To Brazil was exported 100000 bbls.,
an increase over the year before of
100000 bbls. Spain has already adj
vanced her tariff duty on our flour go
ing to Cuba from Sl.00 per barrel to
$4.75. or - cents higher than from any
other country. Brazil will restore her
old duty, which was equal to a prohi-
bition The mills have thus lost
market which would have taken this
year over 100000 bbls. of flour.
Figuring this at + bushels to the bar
rel. we find q loss to the American
farmer of q market for fully 9,000,000
bushels of wheat. Further than this,
the flour shipped to those markets was
all made from winter wheat, no spring
wheat flour going there. 1t is a well
known fact that neither of these coun-
tries have flour mills, So that a market
is absolutely lost to the winter wheat
farmer. for that much wheat. In the
face of these facts. is it any wonder
that wheat remains at the present low
price; Congressman should be COM
mitted to extend the markets for Amer
lean flour. That the surplus wheat we
have can be worked of best through
the mill i self evident from facts given
above. Therefore. ii seems a. if the
farmers should be with the miller on
such a proposition.

he COMMITTED SUICIDE +!
The Cause and Its Lesson.


WIN did he commit suicide2 Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
date danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge of such af-
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was o sad
one, but no worse than that Of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end, DO not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
ment. DR.. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol.
untary testimonials prove the virtues Of DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine.
Alonzo Barker, of Clinton, N. Y, writes: II
WIS so afflicted with extreme nervousness that
Twas on the verge of insanity. My hands trem-
bled so that could scarcely feed myself. I used
twelve bottles Of DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine,
and was cured. 1t is with pleasure recommend

headache until began. about four months ago,
TO use DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine and Pills,
