Christian Advocate: When Bishop Key
was about to rob the North Texas Female
College Of Its inimitable president, some
one suggested that . million dollars Of
endowment might possibly repair the
damage. The good bishop, recognizing
his utter inability to make fair compen-
sstlon, moved to Sherman himself, and
became chaplain Of the college for lie.
Now, unless Bish op Hargrove can move
the Vanderbilt UniveIsity TO St. Louis,
we see no way for him TO make compen-

they would make a noise in the
The Resurrection of Christ.

We are in the habit of saying that,
while we are in this world we have a
body adapted to this world and that
when we depart from our present ex-
istence, we are supplied with bodies
suitable to the existence upon which
we enter.
This is sensible; but some of our
brethren seem to forget this, and in
consequence they think they must
deny some part of the record, relating
to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
They say the resurrection of Jesus
is the proof and example Of our res
direction; and if this is SO, then it
follows that he must have risen with
his spiritual body. The fact is over
looked, that he rose to this world; and
according to the foregoing reasoning,
he rose in his earthly body, which
was adapted to this form of existence.
Go with him to the end of the forty
days he was on earth with his apos-
ties, and you will find resurrection
that is proof and pattern of ours. He
leaves his earthly body, and takes the
spiritual. 1t is the resurrection that
takes him to the spiritual world and
is like ours when we make the same
change.
The expressions in the record that
seem to imply spiritual being are
due probably to the false education
and prejudice of the evangelists.

BRIEF COMMENTS.
Missionaries or Pastors?

Since our Church has sent out mis-
sionaries, and it is evident that we
could employ many more. if we had
them, my mind has naturally recalled
the mode of spreading the Gospel in
the times of the apostles. They had
their missionaries, but / do not find
that they, like us, had also their set
tied pastors. Neither we're such pas
tors mentioned, in the commission
given to the apostles, by Jesus, ut his
last interview with them, when he
left the world.
This is certainly very remarkable.
Evidently, all the mission Jesus gave
his apostles was that of missionaries.
$50 ye into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature" etc.
This, we learn, the apostles did most
faithfully, as We see by reading the
Acts of the apostles. And when a
sufficient number of per ons in any
city believed the message they had to
deliver, to form church, they organ
lied church, and appointed officers
overthem elders and dedcons; and over
several churches, bishop. The last
was an officer, and the highest officer
of the church; but he was not set
tied pastor; nor is such parsonage
alluded to.
l am thinking how fast our Gospel
would "run and be glorifed," if our
pastors were all to take the field as

HON. JOHN L. STEVENS.

Hon. JOHN L. STEVENS, ex-minister
to Hawaii, is among those called to the
great beyond since the last issue of
this paper. He died at Augusta, Me-,
Friday, February Sth, after a brief
ILLNESS of which the public was hardly
informed until the notice of his death
appeared.
The Universalist Church loses in
the death of Mr.. Stevens an eminent
member. The deceased statesman
and diplomat was born at Mt. Yer
non, Me-, August LIST, 1920. His an
cestors were English and came to
this country in the earliest days of
New England. He was educated in
the common schools. and studied for
two years at the Waterville Liberal
Institute and the Maine Wesleyan
Seminary. He began his public ca
reer as minister of the Universalist
Church having pursued his theologi-
ca, studies under the direction of the
Universalist minister of Hallowell,
Rev. Nathaniel Gunnison, ths father
of the present DIR. Almon Gunnison,
of Worcester, Mass. His first pasto-
raj settlement was with the UniveI-
salist society of New Sharon in 1845.
He afterward was settled at Exeter,
N. H., but after year or two re-
sumed his labors in Maine, first at
Norway, and later at Biddeford.
After ten years service in the pulpit,
he left the ministry on account ofthe
failure of his health, and in 1854,
when the late James G.. Blaine be-
came one of the owners of the Ken
nebec Journal, he was associated
with him in the editorship. He re-
NAMED the editor-in-ch thirteen
years, Mr.. Blaine having long before,
in 1857, left Augusta to become the
editor of the Portland Daily Adver-
tiser.
Mr.. Stevens assisted in the organi-
zation of the Republican party in
Maine, being a member of the first
Convention held in the State, and
served as Chairman of the State Re-
publican Committee from 1856 to
1860. He sat for five years in the
State Legislature, for three years as
a member of the Lower House and
for two years in the Senate.
Mr.. Stevens entered the diplomatic
service in 1870, and for over 20 years
thereafter was almost constantly en-
ployed abroad. In June, 1889, soon
after Mr.. Blaine became Secretary of
State, Mr.. Stevens was selected for
Minister to the Sandwich Islands,
and he resided there in that capacity
until the overthrow of the native
monarchy in the early part of 1898.
In the eventful scenes attending
the overthrow of the Queen and es-
Enlistment of the provisional gov
eminent of Hawaii, Mr.. Stevens took
a prominent part. His action was
quick and decisive. He raised the

of the most glorious Universalism.

by summoning midsummer conference
in Switzerland in behalf of Christian
unity. Several of these meetings have
been held. The Grindenwald confer

who look forward hopefully to reunion
of the Nonconformists and Church of
England people for missionary work.
DIR. Lunn is now in this city and
is pushing his enterprise with consider
able vigor. and at largely attended
meeting on Monday, he gave an interest

which does not at thu present time seem
to look beyond cooperative effort be-
tween all Evangelical Christians for
practical work. So far DR.. Lunn's work
is worthy of recognition and approval by
all who have the best interests of the
Christian Church at heart, and would
make it more useful in social and relig-
ious work.

fessions, and every church door swings
freely open to admit to the Utmost sane

is no more the thing it was while the
belief in the spiritual and governmental
supremacy of God, and the final saliva
walton of all souls, is speeding oil to
certain victory. To the modern reason
and moral sense and larger humanity,
Universalism comes out of the thick of
the conflict of ages as a blessed light
and divine revelation.

suggestive one. and although unique at

to the on-arrival of the French ocean
liner, La Gascogne, which on Monday
was nine days overdue. and the gravest
apprehensions were felt as to her safety.
The terrific storms on the North Atlantic
during the last fortnight had given rise
to serious fears as to the safety OF the
great vessel and her five hundred or
more passengers. With the recent fate
of the Elbe in mind, it was feared that
another ocean disaster had occurred.
Happily, these fears were dispelled on
Monday evening when La Gasccg 10

caused by some accident to the ma
