The beautiful illustration which
we give this week is engraved from a
drawing by Mr.. Carl Hirschberg, of the
National Academy, of the tower of the
new stone Presbyterian church just
erected in Morristown, N. j.. on the site
of the old wooden church in which Rev.
Albert Barnes ministered previous to
his removal to Philadelphia. On this
tower are four clock dials to be illumin
ated at night. Leaning over each dial
are two symbolic figures of Night and
Day, cut in stone in high relief. The
opening of the church was an occasion
of general local interest. Morristown is
the home of that we'll known Universal
list, DIR. Henry N. Dodge, and his poem
was the Universalist contribution to
the services and hence it's appearance in
THE UN1vERsAL1sT. The theology OF
this Presbyterian pulpit has undergone
great changes since Albert Barnes time.
1t may be said that the theology Of the
pulpit has been rebuilt or as the pastor
put it in the opening sermon: 1--WE have
revised our building in anticipation of
the revision of the Presby church,
We are indebted to Dr. Dodge not only
for his beautiful poem. but also for the
engraving of the tower and are pleased
to reproduce both in The UNIvERsALIsT.

SWAN CREEK CON-, sRENCE.

The Y. P. G. y. Association held Its
regular fall session on the third Saturday
OF September at Swan Creek, III. We
are pleased to say that most Of the
Unions were represented and rendered
reports that were exceedingly interest
ing and encouraging. We regret the
fact. however, that some of the Unions
were not represented, although this may
be attributed to the confusion that arose
in regard to the time that the Conference
was to be held. We were all pleased to
note the spirit of earnestness and enthu-
siasm which was manifest in all our
meetings. Miss Ethel Tompkins present
ell in an able manner the subject "An
Ideal Report" Miss Berry presented the
subject San Ideal Conference" Her ar
gument was clear and forcible. Both
these subjects we're discoursed upon by
the delegates and many ideas brought
out that will be of much benefit to the
different Unions.
The officers elected were as follows:
President-Miss Margaret Titus.
Vice .President-M Lola Rodekin.
Secretary Eta Bliss.
Assistant Secretary-W. w. Slaugh.

The death of Professor Swing was
the theme in many of the city churches
on Sunday. Drs. Gunsaulus, Noble and
Bishop Fallows paid touching tribute to
his memory. The last time Professor
Swing attended religious services in a
church was four weeks ago last Sunday
at st. Paul's Universalist. In his ser
mon last Sunday morning DIR. Garfield
referred feelingly to the circumstance
and told of Prof. Swings love for that
church and sympathy in it's work. 1t
was a preparatory sermon for the com
munion service which followed. DR..
Garfield at first spoke Of the beautiful
communion service, then OF the natural
desire of all to be remembered after
death. Continuing he said: -Four weeks
ago today sitting in front of me in this
church was venerable man with face
not handsome, but beautiful. He joined
with us in our prayers and listened with
a responsive spirit to my sermon. When
the service was over he came to me and
laying his hand on my shoulder, said: II
love you. love this church and its
work. 1t is the only church / ever at
tend" That man was David Swing. OF
course / felt complimented by his ex-
preseions of love and sympathy in our
work. but had it not been for his death
the incident would have perhaps been
forgotten soon. This church is the more
sacred because that soul has worshiped
here"

weeks ago last Saturday, although by
his family and physicians he has
been known to have been a sick man
for many years. His wonderful vital
ity and his faith in his own power to
overcome bodily weakness have been
the factors which had 30 long enabled
him to keep up. His illness began with
chill, followed by profuse perspiration.
Extreme gastric pain set in, and jaun-
dice subsequently made it's appearance.
Monday he sank into comatose con-
dition and 30 far as is known never
recovered consciousness. Mond!..y; and
Tuesday there were indications OF pain
but the physicians think there was no
consciousness of it. At the last there
was not even the appearance of suffer
ing, the great divine sinking into his
last sleep as sweetly as child into its
mothers arms.

A CALIFORNIA ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. DIR. and Mrs. Conger are surprised
by their Pasadena Friends-Twentieth
Wedding Anniversary.

Rev. DIR. and Mrs. Conger are surprised
by their Pasadena Friends-Twentieth
Wedding Anniversary.
From the Pasadena Evening Star of
Sept %, we take the following account
of the way in which the Pasadena
friends surprised DR.. and Mrs. Conger
on the twentieth anniversary of their
marriage. The account is SO complete
as to render unnecessary saying any
thing more, except to tender the con-
gratuIations of THE UNIvERsXL1sT, and
to wish DR.. and Mrs. Conger many hap
Ply returns Of their anniversary, express
ing the hope that they may always find
themselves among friends as kind and
considerate as those who have celebrated
this twentieth anniversary in such an
unexpectedly pleasant manner:
Yesterday was the twentieth anniver-
sary Of the marriage of Rev. DIR. and
Mrs. E. L. Conger. They and few of
their intimate friends naturally had an
interest in the anniversary, bat that the
entire congregation of the Universalist
church. and a considerable section of
the general public besides, should feel
concerned to have the bride and groom
of twenty years ago pleasantly remem-

To help honor the day Rev. Florence
Kollock invited DIR. and Mrs. Conger to
dinner last evening and during their alb
sence mum erous ladies took possession
Of their house on Orange Grove avenue
and beautifully decorated it with roses.
Then they made large bell of white

the rooms and porch had been filled
with friends of the absent host and host

into their own home. The memories of
the wedding day had doubtless taken
them back some years, but they could
have hardly expected to be taken back
to the extent involved in this surprise.
After congratulations and explana-

Mrs. G. A. Quinby, president of the
Woman's Centenary Association, will at
tend the Michigan Convention at Char
lotte this week.
A full length portrait in oil of DIR. A.
B Hervey, for st. Lawrence University,
Is just being completed by Henry Harri
son. a portrait painter residing at Jersey
City, who has made st. Lawrence county
his summer residence. The artist has
studied and was graduated from the
Munich school of art, and has painted
the portraits of many dignitaries of this
country.
We regret to learn that Rev. DIR. Tuck
O. of Camden, O., has been confined to
his home for nearly six weeks with
broken limb. He is now able to get
around little with the help Of crutches.
He is anxious to return to his work, for
he is one Of our most industrious preach
ers and not to enioythe privileges of the
ministry is an additional hardship-even
worse to bear than the suffering caused
by the broken limb.
Rev. Lee S. M'Collester, OF Detroit,
gave lecture before the inmates of the
State prison at Jackson, on recent
evening. Last Sunday evening he
preached at Rochester at the starting of
the new movement of the Universalist
Church there. The church in Roches-
ter has been closed several years, but a
new board of Trustees has been selected
and they are trying to revive it. We
hope they will succeed.
DIR. Hanson had narrow escape on
Sunday evening of last week. Stepping
from the Wabash avenue cable on the
Madison street curve, he fell and struck
his head on the pavement. Fortunately
the force of the fall was broken by the
weight coming on his left shoulder. He
was taken up somewhat dazed and was
confined to his room until Wednesday.
He is again around, showing no injury
from the fall, but it was close call. Had
he fallen on his head with full weight
this paragraph would have given place
to a more serious record.

of God is to him but another name
for all that is beautiful in character,
wise in counsel, righteous in conduct,
noble in purpose and pure in love.
Hence the name Of God never comes
into mind without kindling worship
full emotions, and moving him to do
him honor. He will rebuke disloyal-
ty whenever shown, by an expressive
silence, if in no other way. He will
show his regard and reverence for
God by the word of bis lips and the
acts of his hands.
Religion, or loyalty will find ex-
preston in worship. Worship natur-
ally proceeds from love for the King
served, and from confidence in him.
This worship will be earnest, devout,
hearty, and there will be pleasure in
rendering it. The emotions that are
cherished in the heart will show them
selves in the outward manner, the ex-
preston of the countenance, and the
words of the lips.
It also manifests itself in resigna-
ton to the divine will, and in the ex-
ercise of sweet trust amidst the va
rious changes of life, and vicissitudes
of time. Loyalty accepts all things
that fall to the earthly lot, all the
providences of God, however irving
and affective, as ordered in wisdom,
and for the good of those who are ex-
ercised thereby. Religion shows its
excellence and power in no way bet
ter than in reconciliation to the di-
vine will, and resignation under the
trials, disappointments Affections that
come upon us here.
There is also advantage and profit
in religion. He whose heart is loyal
to God, will ever have pleasurable
emotions in exercise, proceeding di-
rectly from his loyalty. We are SO
constituted that the consciousness of
being loyal to God brings exceeding
peace. A glow of satisfaction, CT holy
love, dwells in the heart of him who
is truly loyal. The religious man is
happy within himself, and is not
compelled to seek for happiness from
without. When one is citizen of
the kingdom of God, and he enjoys
the conviction that its government is
administered for the good of the gov
erned, that the divine wisdom and
goodness will secure him every bless
ing he may really need, he has sense
of safety and protection, peace and
rest, which are above all price. He
finds that the benefits and blessings
of religion are many and great.
We have now seen that religion is
not trembling with awe before an
august being who has little interest
in us; it is not crying vociferously or
piteously to a being supposed to be
far away and unmindful of our wants,
but it is to be loyal to God, as the
good citizen is loyal to his country;
it is life of worship and obedience;
of love to God and love to man, man
Tested in piety and humanity, in rev.
erence, purity of life, and charity.

THE ELEMENTS OF SPIRITUAL
LIFE.

Man has been endowed with a
spiritual nature and has therefore
spiritual faculties, sustains spiritual
relations, and is possessed by spiritual
wants. He was created in Gods
spiritual image and moral likeness
in wisdom, righteousness and true
holiness. AS spiritual being man
should live a spiritual life. Mans
life should be shid with Christ in
God" The source and fountain of
his life should be divine. The life
that he lives in the flesh he should
live by the faith of the Son of God.
Christ is united to God by faith, and
man is united to Christ by faith and
through Christ he is one with the
Father and the Son. "God is in
Christ reconciling the world unto
himself" and through the Gospel of
reconciliation which he preached we
are justified by faith and have peace
with God. This is eternal or spiritual
life, to know the Father and Jesus
Christ whom he has sent. knowledge
is the condition of faith and love, and
these are the bonds of the souls union
with God and Christ. Spiritual
union whether between man and God
or between man and his fellow men
is impossible without these. This
union of the soul with God by faith
and love is necessary to all spiritual
life. It is by this that we live in him
and he in us.
To have spiritual or divine life-the
life of God-we must be born of God.
They who are born of God are the
sons of God, and to those who are
sons, God has given the spirit of his
Son. This divine spirit is the witness
of our divine relation of sonship to
God. The spirit of God beareth wit
ness with our spirits that we are the
children of God.
If we are the sons of God we have
derived our life from Him and it is
therefore spiritual and divine. 1t is
the life of God in the soul of man
that makes the man morally like
God in principle, conduct and char
acter. We are in unison with him
and in harmony with his law and gov
eminent. This is the source of our
obedience ard worship.
1t is from this source also we derive
our spiritual strength. We become
strong through his strength, wise in
his wisdom and good through his
goodness; for it is in him we live;
move and have our being. We are
united to Christ as the branch is
united to the vine. This is vital
union, and because of it we derive
our spiritual life from him as the
branch lives in the vine. This liv-
ing union with God, through faith
and love is the source of spiritual JOY.
There is enjoyment in all life, ami
NAL, mental, moral and spiritual; and
the higher the form of life, the richer
deeper and sweeter the joy. A life
of union and communion with God
a life consecrated to him and filled
with his life and his love, must bring
to man greater JOY than any other
form of life.
Every man should live the highest
life possible to his nature and facul-
ties. Every man should make the
most of himself and his opportuni-
ties. To do this there must be
growth, usefulness and enjoyment.
All these come of right action-of
noble living.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the

We believe that there is one God, whose

We believe that holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected, and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order, and
practice good works, for these things are good
