lief. They would exclude anything
but history from the home; and this
must be of the dull, matter-of fact
style, with no art of the illustrator
making its appeal to the soul through
the eye. Every first-class bit of food
for the imagination has become clas-
sic. Classical literature focused for
the imagination always has room for
any choice gem. An unframed teach
er or parent is safe when he turns to
the classics for material with which
to entertain children. Santa Claus
has furnished little people of all
climes with healthful inspiration for
the imagination; has hallowed the
pioneer days of winter, has bright
ened and heightened gift-receiving, by
delightfully."- disassociating gifts and
giving from the personality of the
donors. Mother Goose Melodies, al
though senseless as compared with
Santa Claus, have been an acceptable
prelude for infantile imagination.
The fables season it with whole
some character truths. Fairy tales,
mythologies and tales of chivalry,
when winnowed, inspire chivalric SEN
timents. Who that became acquaint-
ed early with Hawthorne's "Tangle-
wood tales" can estimate the service
they rendered him?
The character element in the pro-
cesses and habits of the imagination
should be early and largely consid-
cred. Some of the characters in the
plays of Shakespeare and the novels
of Dickens have such vivifying
effect that they are more real than
the historical personages of Gibbon
or Hume or Macaulay. Indeed, his
toric characters are real only through
the imagination. Everything that
appeals to the imagination ought at
reasonably early age to move on a
plane above mere sentiment It
should be attractive, from its pur-
pose, it's earnestness. And for this
reason, where shall we turn to any
book, ancient or modern, that can
compare as health-food for the inn
aginations of our children with the
Old and New Testament Scriptures?
| know they require the study of the
parents, and careful thought in the
selecting; but such lessons of faith
and courage and constancy, told in
such graphic language-language
which sings itself in the memory of
the generations found nowhere
| else.
'We search the world for truth, we Gull
The good, the pure the beautiful
From craven stone and written SCROLL
From the old fiower-fedS of the soul.
And, weary seekers of the blest,
We come back laden from our quest
To find that all the sages said,
Is in the book our mothers read"

most beautiful of themes. The great
souls of the world have thrilled with
the hope. In the times of our old
Hebrew prophets this thought of the
universal outpouring of Divine favor,
awakened in those ancient singers a
fountain of Joy which has expressed
itself in the most beautiful sentiments
of the Bible. Our modern poets have
uttered themselves best when they
have attempted to tell us the same
truth. Therefore study our doctrines
in their beauty and strength. In our
mind this is the only profitable and
true way to realize their spirit, and
did those who teach, appreciate this
fact there never would be heard the
complaint that our doctrines are not
interesting.
1t is to be regretted that many have
felt called upon to demolish other
creeds, thus creating spirit OF antag-
onism. Sometimes this may have
been necessary; but our doctrines
should have positive utterance. Moth
ing is ever gained by that kind of
teaching which has no regard for hu-
man feelings. We should desire con-
verts, and they are never made by
the theological sword. If we were
viewing some picture for the interest
which attaches to it, and then should
find another tenfo.d more piece of
art and beauty, we would be drawn
from the one to the other. I consider
it to be the same with any creed, and
especially with our doctrines. The
mind will turn to them as all Protes-
tant Christianity is sure todo, because
of their inherent beauty.
Our doctrines have often been
taught in this way and always sue
cessfully. They have been taught
negatively and successfully, but never
when words were poisoned. All our
destructive methods must have the
deep abiding love for man in mind;
and if our young people will learn
this Union may be made mission
center to attract young converts to
our cause. Jesus words were, 81 will
draw all men unto me-" Engaged in
this same work to bring souls into
the love of Christ we must also be
wise enough 'to draw" them.
1t would be very profitable for us
all to take course of study. We
have the Manuals of Faith and Duty
SO well prepared, and touching upon
all the main features of our teachings.
'Thayer's Theology of Universalism," !"
though old, will never cease to have a
charm. And there are the works of
Williamson, and others, and if our
young people are not demoralized by
the light reading of the day, rich
field may be found in the works of
Father Bailou. AS history, read
"Universaiism in America" and the
"Ancient History of Universalism." !"
These are few books we should
know something about, and there are
Others we may associate with to our
great profit.

CoUNT RUMFoRD, anTauthority in
dietetics, gives. the conclusion OF his
studies in form which may be thus
generalized: If the civilized man should
eat half as much and take twice the
time for it, he.would derive greater sat
isfaction and far more.benefit. We eat
too much; and we eat too much because
we eat too rapidly.E The enjoyment nat
ural to thorough mastication is missed
and we hurry on to get what we have
foolishly passed by. The result is,
stomach filed to discomfort and required
to do not only it's own proper duty but
that of the organs of mastication be-
sides.
We suspect that those preachers who
are driven to extremities, to their wits
end say, for novel and interesting themes
with which to "bold".. their congrega-
tions, might learn lesson from those
preachers whose-o unbroken theme
is religion, and whose congregations
hold themselves. There is probably. the
relation of cause and effect here. Con-
gregations fed on religion usually have
healthy habit of going to church and
giving to make the. church go. Congre
cations accustomed to the csprices of
caterers diet are likely to go only when
there is to be spread" and to give not
from principle but only on persuasion.
While everybody invokes harmony
almost every body does something to pro-
woke discord. Even where the spirit is
willing the intellect is sweak. Persons
wish to agree; but seeing things differ
emily they work to differentsends. The
friends of the Red Man, for,examp'e, are
still divided in opinion as to whether he
should have his lands allotted in sever
atty or hold them in common with the
other members Of stride. The Mo-
hawk conference declaredhin favor of
extending the Civil Service rules to the
Indian schools. But the Red Man, the
organ of the Indian Industrial School
at Carlisle, Pa, is sure that the Indian
administration has been much damaged
by the Civil Service rules And these
are but samples of the divided opinion
one finds who attends to the Indian
Question. The affairs of the savage and
the civilized incur the same fate.
William f. Gladstone bringing out
within the first year of his leisure a
translation of Horace, although he is
reputed to be nearly blind and is ap-
preaching his s5th birthday, is a spectacle
to excite admiration. His translation
may not attain rank as classic; but it
is sure to show the hand OF master.
What awakens the emotion, however, is
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-11-24

the thought of man of Gladstone's age
and history, SO lately carrying the great
burdens of empire, promptly occupying
his leisure with task for which only the
literary specialist can be prepared. 1t
is to him familiar and congenial employ
ment; and his absorption in it displays
him in that elevated and useful charac-
ter which belongs to the truly Grand
Old Man."
The Rev. w. B. Hale's facts" as to
the religious condition of the town Of
Middleboro, Mass, we're disputed by
better informed people in that village.
But he undertakes now to tell the tale
of the religious condition of a larger
town, Fall River. One can credit most
of his revelations without adopting his
conclusions. Indeed he furnishes many
evidences against his contention for the
Impotence of Churches in Manufac-
turing Town" The trouble with Mr..
Hale is not that he does not see and
vividly portray evils that exist; but he
is collecting and using facts to support
certain church theory of which he is
the advocate. His testimony may be
true, but his inferences are false.
The interest in the question, "Can
the Heather be Saved?' which a new
book discusses, is less intense than it
was half century since. Now the
opinion is common, if we may not say
general that God is not partialist, but
is likely to see to it that all his children
In all climes and ages, have fair
chance. The new discussion is signifi-
cant only as showing by what logic one
may reach conclusions wider than his
premises. II one cannot see his way to
take the Universalist position and there
by arrive at the Universalist conclusion
openly there can be no objection to his
beating about in the twilight in hope
that what appears to be coming night
may turn out to be morning.
