THE DIXON MOVEMENT.
To the Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT

To the Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT:
DEAR SIR:-One point in your editorial
on "Is this the Work of Federation?'
in the issue of September 22nd calls for
a word of correction. Your statement
that Messrs. SCHNEIDER and Alcott are
engineering movement here under the
style of the Peoples Church" ito over
throw and disintegrate the Universalist
parish and found another organization
on its ruins" is wholly incorrect, and is
unjust toward the ministers named and
in view of the facts as to the Universal
list parish here, is unjust toward us.
For number OF years we have tried
by spasms, to keep alive Universalist
society in this city. We have undertaken
the work with number of different
ministers-some of them sent here by
the Convention Missionary board. Every
attempt has been failure-for almost
the years Of generation we have grown
steadily weaker; our last effort, began
about two years ago. ended as hopeless
and humiliating fizzle. To try any fur
Their would be folly. Before either Mr..
SCHNEIDER or Mr.. Alcott ever came to
Dixon the Universalist parish was dead
beyond any hope of resuscitation.
A member Of our society attended the
Liberal Congress last May. 1t occurred
to him that possibly an undenomination
al liberal movement may succeed here.
He consulted with several of the Con
gress leaders; and correspondence af-
ter the Congress resulted in Mr.. Schind-
ler's coming here to look the field over,
and hold preliminary meeting to
test the outlook. A favorable attend.
ance, as to numbers and enthusiasm,
was the result. Arrangements we're
made to hold services from June to Sep
TENDER to see what the enterprise will
result in. The first four meetings were
held in the Shuler Hall and the Court
House. 1t was Mr.. Schindler's judg
ment freely and openly expressedD that
to go into the Universalist edifice with
these meetings will be mistake. But
others felt differently. The church was
not being used; it is better place for
religious services than is the Court
House; the Universalists offered the use
of their house. and at regularly called
meeting of the Society and the Board of
Trustees a committee was appointed to
arrange the terms of its occupancy. We
deem it altogether better for our proper
ty that it is being occupied and cared
for. Every step in this movement has
been openly and regularly taken on both
sides, and neither Mr.. SCHNEIDER nor Mr..
Alcott can truthfully be charged with
any attempt to secure the use of our
property. II the enterprise succeeds
we shall all rejoice. AS to the purpose
OF the Congress, whether it is fedora
ton or a new denomination. we are
neither prepared to say. nor particularly
concerned. Only so the Liberal cause
makes Roadway here and elsewhere in
teaching the truth and promoting right
eousness. Being unable to succeed as
Universalist church there should be no
objection from the outside if we are able
to succeed as Peoples church.
Fraternally,

REV. E. E. HAMAND:-A common as
sertion among our sister denominations
is that Universalist assemblies are lack
ing in spiritual fervor. The Conference
last week was SO full of the Masters
spirit that one could not be present
without feeling its influence upon his
own life.

We have great reason to congratulate
ourselves as church over the success of
this Conference. 1t will live in the
memory for years. 1t gave all renewed
courage and hope. Its influence will be
felt for years to come. Any church that
can make such an occasion and rise to
the dignity of discussing the momentous
themes of the Conference with the abil-
ity and eloquence there displayed, and
that can vitalize it's life with such SER
vice of prayer as that which was held in
st. Paul's in the closing hour, has a
future of great usefulness and power as
one of the Christian forces of modern
society.

The Conference seemed to impress the
young men of our ministry with new
sense of the dignity and power OF our
Church. at was grand Conference
says one, "and it means new era for
u.s." This thought was expressed by
m my of the younger men; while the en-
tlusiasm generated by the grand meet
in rs and splendid utterances, led DIR.

UNlvERsALIsT 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.
II.
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 happiness.
III.
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
and profitable unto men.

Four Grent Pole ynulters.

II. II. Baxter, captain of the New York
Athletic club, who was polo vaulting
champion of the United States for four
years, beginning in 1888, thinks G. T..
Buckholtz the best man Mt the gamo in
tho country, although he does not hold the
record. A contest between the two experts
named and w. S. Rodcnbaugh, who made
the present record OF / feet 3-S inches
for pole vaulting for height, would DO a
memorable event. Rodcnbaugh was Amer
lean champion in 1890 and won the event
under the colors of the Athletic club of
the Schuylkill navy.
Pole vaulting for distance admits Of con-
siderable improvements, in Captain BnX-
tcr's opinion He thinks the pole should
carry I'M expert much farther than four
feet beyond the best running broad jump
The event is rarely included on pro-
grainme and good jumpers have consc-
qucntly given it little attention A. IL.
Green of Harvard has had monopoly OF
the record so far, but the existing figures
arc well within the capabilities of any per
scvcring athlete who has mastered tho art
of using the pole as an effective lever.
Green's best mark is 81 feet inches, and
it was placed on record last September in
Chicago. Baxter is thinking of again en-
tcring the lists this year. He has cleared
over IL feet when vaulting for height.
