~ DIR. ADAM CLARKE, the distin-

that the words, "the fire shall never be

the review of Professor Briggs's new
book, THE Messiah of the Gospels" by
Professor D. G. Marquis, D. D., of the
Mccormick Theological Seminary. DIR.
Marquis is an ultra conservative. No
man in the Church is truer representa-
tive of that sentiment. 1t is, therefore,
quite refreshing to find review of Pro-
lessor Briggs's book from such source
which is appreciative, and. on the whole,
commendatory. The article reads as if
the writer found himself in far clos

lessor than he was willing to &C.
knowledge. The fact is that in many
respects Professor Briggs is one of the
most conservative men in all our theo-
logical seminaries. He stands for lit erty,
and is. of course. an ardent disciple OF
the Higher Criticism. But when it
comes to his own theological views he is
in most respects conservative.

ton endured three years ago, because

Things went on in this spirit for some
months. gradually softening until l
supposed they had thought the mat
ter over and thought better of it, as
they were always ready to call upon me
for help, and accept my aid in all places.

nominations here, and not enough in
any one to sustain denominationsl

THE SOLDIERS MISSION OF JAPAN,

The following extract from recent
letter of Mr.. Cate from Japan may be of
interest to all interested in our Mission
there:
Perhaps | have not reported to you
that. previous to the arrival of Mr..
Leavitt, I took the responsibility of
sending Mr.. Magma for months work
among the soldiers at Hiroshima, the
present headquarters of the army in
Japan. He was enabled to gain admit
lance to the hospitals. and personally 10
distribute among the 5000 soldiers there
a thousand or more copies of our publ
cations, including "Discourses on the
Lords Prayer" 1.-The Superiority of
Christian Civilization, "The Universal
ist Catechism," together with "The
Greatest Thing in the World" Mr..
Hoshino's tract [one prepared in the di-
alect of the common peopleI, and our
paper. Much work is being done by
the Christians among the soldiers, and
the work will be greatly facilitated by
the permission recently granted by the
Government to do Christian work in the
garrisons and armies doing active SER
vice now in China. A movement is
also on foot to secure permission to send
foreign missionary. The Government
is distinctly favorable to the distribution
OF Christian literature among the SOL
diers; and the officers are instructed to
aid the workers as they can. The Bible
Society finds great difficulty in supply
ing the demands for Bibles and Tesla

ply the original idea of federation,
but new denomination, with, as the
Register puts it, ga private purse and
a private flag, and an independent
manifesto"
The Register, we are pleased to OBJ
serve, will not strike the Unitarian
colors to the non -sectarian and anti
UNCONVENTIONAL flag of the new Unity
Congress. The Unitarian denomina-
ton has too many valuable invest
ments in the West in the Unitarian
name to surrender at the demand of
this new organization of Liberals.
And what is true of the Unitarians is
equally true of the Universalist
Church in the West. 1t will not be
cajoled into any movement which,
even in the smallest possible degree,
will compromise the Universalist
name. 1t has its own organization,
and its own basis of work and faith,
and has no use for any new organi-
cation. The independent churches
may properly enough unite in the
Congress movement, for they have no
basis of organic union; but the Uni
versalist churches are part of the
organized and established Universal
list Church and owe it supreme and
undivided allegiance and service.
That allegiance will not be disturbed
to any great extent by the Liberal
Congress, or any of its supporters, in
this State or elsewhere. We could
wish that the Unitarian Church in the
West was in as strong position as
our own, to resist the disintegrating
and mischievous influence of The
New Unity and the Liberal Congress.

THE COUNTRY PARISH.

Yes: we do need more ministers pro.
vided that they will be builders and
take up with missionary places. 1t is
the crying need of our denomination
just now-especially in the West. Many
of our people in country places cannot
understand why they cannot have
pastor when they can pay as much
$500, 5000, $500 per year-as the Metho-
dist or Baptist or other denominations
in the same village. l do not know what
is to become of our small churches if the
young men entering into our ministry
are to be absorbed by our larger congre-
cations and cannot render service to the
smaller parishes We must have
change or we will lose ground all over.

1.-THE New Unity" fol-
special 70 the Nswlows in the track of
onlty' the old Unity" in one
particular which is not commendable-
indeed, we might say. it is clearly repre-
hensible. 1t prints, for example. certain
uncomplimentary remarks about the
Universalist denomination. generally
condemnatory of what is alleged to be
it's "narrowness" and "bigotry." which
invariably signifies that the Universal
list denomination does not follow the
lead of either the old or The New Unity,
or acknowledge the flag of the Liberal
Congress. So far it would only right
fully use a conceded privilege. But when
it prefaces these attacks or criticisms
by saying "a Universalist minister
writes, or "a Universalist minister says"
thus and SO, it is indulging in disreputa-
be journalism. and encouraging anony-
nous scribblers who have not the
courage to face their own convictions in
print, or whose personality would lend
no authority to their statements. We
have had many occasions in the last
decade to inform our readers what Uni
tartan ministers-out OF joint and other
wise-think of Unity; but have never
printed anything rejecting on that paper
or it's pet projects, unless the writer's
name could be given with his COM
munication. We advise The New Unity
TO stop this kind of anonymous stabbing
1t belongs to the Vendetta of journalism
and is entirely reprehensible. And as
that paper is now the official organ of
'the new denomination" it is more out
of place than before when it was simply
an individual concern.
