PERITY.

BY REV. STEPHEN CRANE, D. D.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-06-15
CHURCH BUILDING IN THE WEST

The Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT
has an encouraging article on This
subject in the paper of June s. But
he fails to note in his article what is
recorded elsewhere in the same pa
per, that the Universalists of Spring
boro, Ohio, are about to begin the
erection of new church. This is of
especial interest to me, because the
pastor of the Springboro church, Rev.
VIM. B. Leinell, fifty years ago was on
every opportunity urging me to give
up the study of law and enter the
ministry. In less than a year from
that time preached in the Spring
boro church; SO that church is sacred
in my memory, as | have noreason to
believe that | should ever have be-
come minister had it not been for
the Springboro church, through its
devoted pastor.
rejoice now that that good people
are to have new and modern church
in which to worship and enjoy the
benefits of our religion. How many
have gone out from that old church
to carry the light and do the work of
the Gospel in the more than half cen.
tury of its existence! The Spring
boro people are not to be behind
others in church enterprise. 1t is
good to know that so many of the
old parishes are still loyal and faith
full. The children are honoring the
religion of their fathers and ENJOYING
it in peace little anticipated in the
olden time
Springboro is yet but a country
village, but it needs, and is going to
have, church for the times. 1t is
setting an example that may well be
followed in multitude of places all
over the country. Let the good
work go on and gladden. believing
hearts everywhere. G. S. WEAVER.

The Use of the Hump.

There are some men in this world who
can answer any question that is put to
them, and sometimes when they do not
really know what they are talking about,
they will give answers that are not at all
bad. One of these persons was once a
keeper of the London Zoo. He was pes
tered to death by the questions which
people asked, but he always gave an an
swer. On recent occasion country
man strolled in, and after looking cur
iously at the camel for few moments,
he turned to the keeper and said,
81 say, mister, what's he have hump
for?"
What does he have hump for?" re-
peated the keeper.
"Yes. What's the good of it?" asked
the visitor.
"Why-er lit makes camel of him,
of course" replied the keeper after SOM Q
hesitation. People wouldn't travel
miles to see him il he didn't have that
hump. Fact is. without it he might as
we'll be cow"
The stranger departed very wei salts

BY request of the Editor we will at
tempt little report OF our remarks
at the May meeting in St. PauPs
Church, Chicago. We cannot give
what we said: we can only give the
substance of what we said. Suppose
we have church, building for wor-
ship, a congregation and church or
ganization, etc. What are the condi-
tions of the prosperity of that church
We answer under three heads:
l. That the Gospel be preached
faithfully, earnestly, persistently and
all the time. There is tendency in
our day to preach the Gospel with
variations. The amateur plays the
melody with variations and sometimes
loses the melody in the variations. So
there is tendency to preach the
Gospel with variations, and so lose
the Gospel in the variations.
One of these variations is the High
er Criticism. 1t is an interesting and
fascinating study, and some ministers
are carried away with it, become alb
sorbed in it to the exclusion of every
thing else. Now preacher ought to
know about the higher criticism, un-
derstand the trend of critical investi-
cation and the conclusions reached,
but he ought to know some other
things too. He ought to know that
criticism is not the Gospel. 1t is all
about the letter; it does not touch
the spirit. 1t deals with the shell of
revelation, and the more you pound
on that shell the more noise you will
make and the less Gospel sense you
will have. would as soon think of
falling in love with lay figure in a
show window because of her dress, as
of falling in love with "Criticism"
and trying to preach it for the Cos
pei of Jesus Christ.
Another thing preacher ought to
know, and that is, that criticism
wont preach" The man who thinks
to make his church prosper by preach
ing the Higher Criticism is much like
the man who thought to put his horse
on shavings by putting green glasses
on his eyes. But the horse persisted
in starving Notwithstanding the sweet
delusion of the green goggles. So
the people will starve on criticism no

outer covering or bodies of books. In
former and ruder ages these precious
products of the brain sometimes suf-
fered like their ill-starred authors at
the stake: and it seems that another
kind of martyrdom exists even at the
present time in their ruthless treat
ment by many, as well as by mutila-
tion and neglect. Although those
grand old treasure houses, the mon
asteries and the European libraries,
have been their great Conservatives
and asylums, yet even there MSS.
and books have often greatly suffered
from damp and dust, while many
have been buried in the depths of the
sea. And yet there is another subtle
enemy to be mentioned, the book
worm, which has left its ruinous mark
on many a noble tome. Yet, with all
this array of persecution, suffering
and neglect, books merely make
their silent appeal to our sympathy,
and who with any sense of gratitude
can resist or disregard it? A good
book has as good claim upon our
protection and kindly treatment as
our trusty friend, and unless we are
contented to be counted with the
Goths and vandals of the past, it
should be ours tenderly and lovingly
to cherish and protect these gentle
teachers who instruct our ignorance,
and delight our imagination with
their magic spell.
1t has been we'll said that like
charity, pleasure begins at home. To
a man or woman with no sweet mem
ories of home, the world is. after all,
but battlefield or wilderness.
Some are too poor and some too rich
to have home. Lord Beaconsfield
describes duke who had many resi-
dences, and adds, HE had only one
misfortune, and it was a great one
he had no home" Sir Walter Scott
strikes chord which vibrates in
every heart, when, after returning
from the sights of the Continent. he
ordered his servant to wheel him
slowly through the rooms at Abbots-
ford, and then said, 81 have seen
much, but nothing like my ain home;
give me one turn more"

HARSH MEMORIAL HALL.

WE give above an engraving of the
Memorial Hall on East Knox St., Gales
burg. erected by the Phi Delta Theta
chapter of LOMBARD UNIVERSITY and
dedicated on Commencement week.
1t is named the "SAM d. HARSH Me.
MORTAL" in honor of that beloved young
man, the son of ex-senator Harsh. of
Creston, la. Mr.. Sam Harsh first sug-
gested the erection of the building in
1887, as chapter house for the college
fraternity and had accomplished good
deal of the preparatory work, when death
intervened and snatched him away. The
house now appropriately bears his hon
ored name.
The corner stone was laid during the
commencement last year and the build
ing has been completed at cost of
about $4,000, mainly through the hard
and faithful work of Alva r. Wing and
his associates of the college society.
The dedicatory exercises attracted a
large crowd and the program was success,
fully carried through. Mr.. Seth B.
Conger acted as president OF the day.
Prayer was offered by DIR. White. and
Mr.. j. r. Stanley gave the salutatory ad-
dress. The dedicatory address was given
by Rev. r. E. Olmstead, of Earlville, Ill.
Mr.. George B. Rogers spoke concerning
the benefit derived from the society and
the relation it bears to the University
addressing the Trustees and Faculty.
DIR. Staudish responded. speaking OF the

lege and making mention Of the noble

Gay morning went 1aJner ana mOsner
and the children and the stranger
who might be visiting the family.
Sunday visitors in those days went
to church and worshiped with the
family. Now they run the household
as soon as they get into it. If they
don't want to go to church (and they
seldom do) you must stay home and
wait on them. They are after big
dinner and you must stay home and
get it,
Well, in the old days all went to
church and I would have it SO now.
would rather my children would go
to church and not to Sunday school,
than to Sunday school and not to
church. But they ought to go to
both. Parents ought to bring their
children to church and then stay with
them to Sunday school. The Sun
day-school ought to be feeder for
the church. Children ought to be
familiarized with it's service and learn
to love it when young and then they
will remain with it when they grow
up. In all ways the church and its
service ought to be central in impor-
tance and all commanding. Every
] thing should be made to contribute
to this. When this is full and strong
the church is prosperous; when it is
thin and weak, it is not prosperous,
whatever else it may have.
3. Finally, there should be con-
tinuity of effort. Many Of our
churches are spasmodic in their re
ligious work. They run a little
while, then they stop little while;
then run a little while again and
SO on. Hence no progress. If they
hold their own they do well. They
plan to die. They exhaust all their
energies in getting ready to stop.
This is the evil of short pastorates.
It destroys the continuity of effort
I You cannot reap the same day you
SOW. 1t takes time to mature the
harvest. But the pastor today can
not plan work that it will take years
to accomplish. He is "h reling,' en-
gagged from year to year. Hence he
is no sooner in one place than he be-
gins to look out for another. This is
wrong you say. But how can he
help himself? There is no certainty
about his present position. He may
be out in a few months. He may
say something or he may not-and it
is just as hard not to say anything as
it is to say something and old Brown
is offended and cuts down his sub
scription and the leaders say, we can't
raise the salary without Brown, and
SO the preacher has to go and the
church is closed. That is the history
over and over again in many OF our
churches. How can they prosper?
God Almighty could not make such
churches prosper without miracle.
and he don't work miracles for such
churches.
Here then are our three conditions
of church prosperity, that the gospel
be preached faithfully, earnestly and
consistently, that the church and its
service be central and all important,
then 'stick" to the work.
