CANON WILBERFoRCE,
Adoltlon 10 tne an English clergyman,
Litany. who bears a name
honored in craftsmanship and religion,
is divine who does not hesitate to put
a thing strong when occasion requires
Preaching recently in London an advent
sermon the Canon suggested that new
clause be added to the Litany ''for the
benefit of people who are not ashamed
to denominate themselves as if they were
the only Christian community or party"
This is the prayer he recommends:
From all the paralyzing cant of hands
uplifted in church and arms hanging
down in work; from all the miserable
mummery of stately ceremonial and a
mean, self concentrated daily life; from
the CHASTITY contrast of perfectly ortho-
dox creed and thoroughly heathenish
heart, good Lord deliver us" This
prayer might well be adopted by church
es that do not use the "Litany."

NEW YoRK.-state News.-wi

NEW YORK.-State News.-With
the new year occurred the fifth ami
versary of the pastorate of Rev. V. E.
Tomlinson, at Hudson. On the evening
following, the event was celebrated by
pleasant gathering of the parish. Rev.
e. NJ Jarvis of the Canton Theological
School. preached at Fly Creek recently,
and a congregation of over $50 was pres
ent to hear the young man who left that
village for the theological school in 1893.
His friends speak very highly of his SER
mon, and prophesy that "the young man
will some day be among our best preach
rs."-The congregations at Mt. Vernon
are larger than year ago; the Sunday
school has increased and all the efforts
made this year have met with large and
encouraging success. The Pullman Me-
mortal Church at Albion is nearly com
pleted, and will be ready for dedication
this month.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-01-26

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the
character of God, and of the duty, interest and
final destination of mankind.
III.
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.
Ill.
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.

are infinite, and-he discharges them"
Under all his surface radicalism. the
Autocrat's faith was as sound as his

The new plan adopt
The New Plan. ed by our General
Convention for Missionary a1d Church
Extension purposes, now becoming wide
ly known as the "Cent-a-Day" is evident
ly beginning to take hold Of our people.
The pledges reported this week by the
Financial Secretary are largely in excess
of any previous week. The "Cent-a-Day'
helpers will doubtless be numbered by
thousands in few weeks.
Let no one fall into the mistake that
because this plan contemplates only a
cent a day from our people that it is
therefore a small scheme. 1t is very
large undertaking and, as we have al
ready observed, has wonderful possibil-
tiles. The great thing is to secure the
| pledpes: the collection of the amounts
will be attended to at headquarters.
The reports already at hand indicate
that the people are beginning to under
stand the system. Every parish in the
land may be represented by tens, if not
hundreds of Cent-a-Day givers, and the
plan is one that also appeals to the iso-
lated Universalsts throughout the coun-
try. In places where we have little
group of believers who are unable to
sustain preaching themselves, the Gent
a-Day" system adopted in their families,
and all contributing, would make OF it,
self handsome aggregate, and when we
consider our parishes and their congre'
cations, the field seems to be almost IL
imitable. We urge upon pastors and our
| leading men and women to not lose sight
of the "Cent-a Day" enterprise and push
it forward to its largest possibility of
success. Send for the pledge blanks to

A story Is told of Philadelphia hotel
keeper SAYS the New Orleans Picayune
Employed as a porter about the hotel was
an elderly man named Mike. who had been
an attache of the hotel for eight years
His most prominent feature, and one of
which he was very proud. was beard of
luXuriant growth. One day last week the
proprietor of the house was pacing the
lobby when Mike happened to pass. The
proprietor was in a very disagreed Bile
frame of mind and he stopped and looked
at Mike with an evil light in his eye. Come
here, YOU" he yelled at the porter How
long have you been here?' Nigh on TO
eight years. sor.' "Well. you've been here
long enough. You needn't come back to-
morrow. I'm tired of seeing you about"
The poor porter was thunder-struck. He
went to his friend. the day clerk, and told
him all abou it. 'What'u OF do?" he said
"Oi've a wolfe and family fur { support
an OF can't get another job" The clerk
thought for minute and then said sud
denly: Il have it. You so home and shave
off your beard and then go to the
boss and tell him YOU heard he needed a
porter" Mike followed the advice next day
and secured the situation becoming his
own successor. The proprietor has never
suspeced the trick.

4.No Fence, on ski,Inwnv.

The mo fence" law is in operation on
skidaway Island. The colored farmers
in that part of Chatham county found GU.
long ago that it was to their interest to
have a mo fence" law and so they
adopted It, They have had no cause to re-
greet their action, and they could not be in
duced to return to the old system Of
permitting cattle to run at large, thus
forcing farmers to fence in their crops.
They did not vote on the mo fence"
question, but they adopted the mo fence"
law by mutual agreement. They discov-
cred that it cost far more to fence in
their crops than it did to fence in their
! cattle, and very wisely they decided 10
fence in their cattle. The result is they
make plenty to eat for themselves from
their land and have an abundance Of
milk and butter from their COWS. The
action of the colored farmers at Skida-
way furnishes an argument in behalf cf
the mo fence" law that it is impossible
to answer.
The mo fence" law means employment
for many poor people in agricultural pur-

could do so without being put to the

men of means would open up large farms
on which great many people would find
employment.

that he draws it as regularly as he draws

From Abbeville CAD Exponent Dem.).

The Atlanta Constitution, in frenzy of
desperation, has invoked the aid of Sen
ator Jones, of Nevada, to sustain it in its
advocacy OF the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver. In response to the appeal
the senator who was formerly
a republican, now a populist sill
yer bonanza mine owner, has sup
piled the Constitution with a series of
letters TO bolster its views on the currency
question. Senator Jones, the Silver King,
is the high priest of the free silver cause,
and Nevada is the source from which the
doctrine sprung.
