and formed some opinion of the test
which would be applied to them. Some
thought they would be asked as to their
religious faith or ecclesiastical demon
nation. But Christ had in one of his
last utterances told his disciples how
men and women would be judged at the
last day: II was a-hungered and we gave
me meat. / was thirsty and ye gave me
drink" This was the test which was to
be applied to him and to them. And
how were they going to stand it? The
answer TO thisquestion would determine
whether men were to follow Christ or re
iect him by rejecting the service of their
felowmen. Mr.. Stead, despite his sensa-
tioual methods, strikes home with many
important truths which are to be re-
membered in this day and generation.

THE TRUTH AND THE RECORD.

In these days of criticism it may
be helpful to come to clear under
standing of the relation of the Record
to the Truth of Christianity. Evident
ly they are not identical. The truth
of the Bible is one thing and the re-
cord of this truth, the account given
of it in the Bible, quite another.
They may be intimately related, but
they are not one and the same thing.
Take the truth of Christianity for
instance. A religion known as Chris
tianity is in the world This is one
of the clearest of all facts. This re-
ligion had founder. 1t is a person
al religion. 1t did not originate in a
general cultus; it came out of the
life and teachings of one man. That
man was Jesus Christ. He lived and
taught and died in Judea. These
are facts which cannot be disputed.
Now we have in the New Tesla
mont what purports to be an account
of the life, teachings, doings and
sufferings of this Jesus, the Christ.
In it we have record more or less
minute of what he taught, did and
suffered. His teachings, doings and
sufferings are the facts of which the
New Testament is the professed rec
ord. Evidently then, the record is
not the facts. The facts are one thing
and the New Testament account of
the facts another. The facts consti-
tute the foundation of the religion
and the New Testament gives us an
account of this foundation, tells us
upon what facts our religion rests. 1t
does not create the religion,-it re-
cords its beginnings, gives an account
of its creation. The record does not
create the facts; the facts created the
record. They existed and were a
reality in the worlds history before
they were recorded. The facts Great
ed the church and the church made
record of the facts.
Suppose now that the record is
faulty. Suppose it can be shown that

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

President Cleveland last week issued
his annual proclamation as follows:
By the President of the United States
of America proclamation:
The American people should gratefully
render Thanksgiving and praise to the
Supreme Ruler of the universe, who has
watched over them with kindness and
fostering care during the year that has
passed; they should also with humility
and faith supplicate the Father of all
mercies for continued blessings accord
ing to their needs, and they should by
deeds of charity seek the favor of the
giVer of every good and perfect gift.
Therefore, |, Grover Cleveland, Presi.
dent of the United States, do hereby APP
point and set apart Thursday, the Doth
day of November, instant, as a day of
Thanksgiving and prayer to be kept and
observed by all the people of the land.
On that day let our ordinary work and
business be suspended and let us meet
in our accustomed places of worship and
give thanks to Almighty God for our
preservation as nation, for our immun-
ity from disease and pestilence for the
harvests that have rewarded our hus-
bandry, for renewal of national prosper
ity, and for every advance in virtue and
intelligence that has marked our growth
as people.
And with our anksgiving let us
pray that these blessings may be null
tiplied unto us, that our national con-
science may be quickened to better
recognition of the power and goodness
of God, and that in our national life we
may clearer see and closer follow the
path of righteousness.
And in our places of worship and
praise. as we'll as in the happy reunions
of kindred and friends on that day, let
us invoke divine approval by generously
remembering the poor and needy.
Surely he who has given us comfort and
plenty will look upon our relief of the
destitute and our ministrations OF char
ity as the work of hearts truly grateful
and as proof of the sincerity of our
thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States which have caused to be
hereto affixed.
Done at the City of Washington the
31st day of October, in the year of our
Lord eighteen hundred and ninety four
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and nineteenth.

1.-THE EVANGEL" TRANSFERRED TO
1.-THE UNIVERSALIST."

The acceptance of the call to Japan
and early removal to his new field,
obliges Rev. Edgar Leavitt to relinquish
charge of 1.-THE Evangel," monthly ex-
ponent of Universalism which he has
published for several years with consid-
cradle success at Santa Cruz. Cal,
Mr.. Leavitt has transferred the list of
his subscribers to The UNIvERsALIsT
and by arrangement with the Publishing
House, our paper will be forwarded to all
subscribers who have paid in advance
for The Evangel until they receive an
equivalent for the numbers due them.
The Publishing House will deal literally
by The Evangel subscribers and we hope
that many of them may become perma-
nent subscribers of THE UNIvERsALIsT.
Mr. Leavitt announces the transfer in
the Fl lal number of The Evangel in the
following manner:
CHE UNIvERsALIsT' is the name of
our paper published in Chicago. It is
large eight page paper, and one of the
best papers published by any denomina-
ton. II is under the able editorship of
Rev. j. S. Cantwell, DID,, and contains
every week large variety of interesting
matter.
"We have made arrangements by
which The UNIvERsALIsT will be sent to
fill out the unexpired subscriptions of
The Evangel. sending as many times to
each subscriber as there are numbers of
The Evangel still due. Thus all will
have their full moneys worth and have
an opportunity to become acquainted
with this excellent paper We hope it
may result in many Of you becoming
permanent subscribers to it. and espec-
tally so as we shall write for it occasion
ally, and it will be the chief means by
which we shall be able to communicate
with many of you. We wish all of you
Do not put it off an account of hard
times, for you need the paper and if
you cannot send on the full subscription
price. send 80 cents or a dollar or more.
DIT Ulne, DIS you eau. Dul. IL possible,
keep paid up in advance. 1t will be
easier for you, will not cost any more.
and we know from experience as editor
of The Evangel how much more agreea,
BILE it is to have subscriptions always
paid up"
This arrangement will begin with the
present issue of THE UNIvERsALIsT. In
addition to supplying the paper to those
who have paid for The Evangel in ad-
vance, several issues of THE UNIVERSAL
IsT will be mailed to all who have been
at any time subscribers to the California
paper. In this way all the friends of Mr..
Leavitt who have contributed to the
support of The Evangel will understand
the new arrangement.
THE UNIvERsALIsT has already con
siderable constituency in California. At
the beginning of another year that con-
stituency is likely to have large in
crease. With the co operation of our
Evangel friends the paper may expect to
become a permanent visitor to many
new homes on the Pacific slope.

THE VALUE OF FORGETTING.

1t is great blessing that the fail
ures and faults of our past lives can
be in great measure forgotten. The
Bible repeatedly assures us that if we
repent of, and forsake our sins, God
forgives and forgets them. He puts
them behind him, remembering them
no more; they are put as far from us
as the east is from the west; they
are drowned in the depths of the sea.
What can be the meaning of these ex-
pressions, but that he regards us as
if these sins had never beeni
They no longer affect our relations
to God. They are never again to
come into remembrance or account.
God forgets them; buries them in
eternal oblivion, from which they
shall never rise up to confront and
condemn us. Now, if God does not
remember them, then why should Wet
Do not set up grave-stone over
them. Let the dead past bury its
dead" There are too many who use
up the best energies of their lives in
brooding over sins long ago repented
of, long ago forgiven. They have
never fully received the great truth
of Gods forgiving and forgetting,
and in their own minds are still bear
ing burdens which God would long
ago have lifted off their shoulders.
We may we'll and safely forget what
God remembers no more forever"
Forgetting is one of the chief condi-
tions of the best progress. We must
very often "forget things that are be-
hind"
This does not mean that we are to
break entirely with the past, or light
ly to esteem it's lessons or experiences.
The lessons which the past has
taught us should be gathered up and

''IF Christ Came to London?" The
words have familiar sound. Mr.. w.
Il. Stead is following up his Chicago
campaign in the very place where he
should have begun it. After having dis
cussed the question, "If Christ came to
Chicago?" the irrepressible reformer now
applies the same problem to London.
The Woman's Signal contains full re-
port of his meeting in the great metrop-
oils in which he discussed, under his
sensational topic, Christs attitude to-
ward the social problems of the day.
The Signal remarks: at is evident that
this modern reformer was we'll in touch
with his audience, and with that clever
audacity which makes him the despair
and admiration of society, he had pre-
pared dramatic moment for the open
ing of his conference" The special SEN
sation of the hour was the appearance as
chairman of the meeting of Mr.. James
Branch, the foreman of the jury which
had condemned Mr.. Stead to prison. 1t
was brilliant coup which the house ap-
preciated. Mr.. Stead proceeded to un
fold his ideas in regard to what Christ
would do if he came to London in much
the same way that he discussed the ques.
ton in Chicago. His address was strong
ly Christian and humanitarian, but of
course, extravagant and sensational in
characteristic degree.

The appreciative notice of Bro.
Swan, of Chicago written by DR.. j, HI.
Tuttle, of Minneapolis, for the Sunday
School Helper, which we reproduce this
week, was accompanied in that periodi-
cal by fine half tone engraving of our
we'll known Chicago brother. The like
ness is excellent and does credit to the
artist of the Helper. The article is one
of series of Notable Sunday school
Workers which the Helper is publish
ing. This is a new feature and one
which must add to the popularity of our
Sunday school journal among it's readers.
The Helper, under the editorial care of
/ Dr. Stafford, shows steady improvement.
1T was never more valuable than it is at
present to all Sunday school workers.
The international Lessons are inter-
preted in its pages from the standpoint
of the Universalist Church and the best
results of modern scholarship enrich
its pages. The Helper is helper. All
who would serve the interests of our
Sunday schools should study the Inter
national Lessons under it's guidance.

"MANFORD'S MAGAZINE"

Manfords Magazine for October
comes to us under a new management.
The long continued ill health of Rev. T.
ii. Tabor, the editor and publisher, has
made some change imperative and as
consequence, he has sold the Magazine
to his eldest son, J. B. Tabor, who in
tends to continue the publication. The
Magazine will continue as it has always
done, to advocate the principles of Uni
versalism, and the interests of the Uni
versalist church.
The new proprietor has established
his headquarters at No. 80 Randolph
street and is already busily engaged in
laying plans for the future. May he re-
alize large success.
