One has reason to dread a paper or
an grafton, when the first sign hung
out is a dictionary definition, but
feel obliged to begin this article with
that dry as dust, old as-the- world,
and much more tiresome preliminary.
Before i get through, it may appear
that the sweetest and most palatable
part of the repast, the dictionary de-
finition, has been set on at the be-
ginning, as New Hampshire people
give us pie as first course at break
fast.
"Express,-to force out by pres

er, receptacle or vessel containing
it, and avenues through which it may
be sent We will take it for granted
that every minister has the motive
power in some degree, and we know
that as long as he is sin the flesh"
there is some kind of a receptacle
in which that motive power abides.
The value of his work depends
very much upon this receptacle or
"vessel of clay" and upon this also
are dependent those avenues"
through which his motive soul-power
is to flow, in order to touch, with
comfort, courage, warning or bless.

list of the synonyms of the word
receptacle" l find some curious
terms that seem to describe so aptly
the bodies of some ministers that |
quote them. Should any of these
"coats fit" ] feel sure you will be
willing to put them on-some other
minister! The word "hole" describe:
well that body which seems to be a
hiding place for the soul, which oc

Rev. +. P. Rosselot. in the Quarterly
Review of the United Brethren, says:
There has always been and always will
be. tendency to crystalline thought;
and every creed has been an attempt in
this direction-an attempt to settle for
all time and people the religious ques-
tions of the mind. This is no more true
of the religious teacher than it is of the
teacher of science and philosophy.
1t is not truth that changes, but men;
not facts, but opinions. 1t may be hard
to tolerate some fanatics, it may be diff
cult to see sometimes where men belong,
but we are in world of growth and de-
velopment, and we must do or die.
In the November Arena is very in
teresting article by Rev. DIR. Manley,
in which he reviews the words "sheol,"
"hades," "tartarus." and "gehenna,"
which in the old version of the Bible
were often translated "hell," says the
Cleveland parish paper. For years DR..
Manley has given the subject vast
amount of study and investigation. His
mother died raving maniac because of
her belief in hell; and he has felt it to
be sacred duty to proclaim the truth
that neither in the Hebrew nor the
Greek Bibles, from which our English
Bible is translated. is there any word
meaning hell, nor any word which could
properly be given the meaning Of our
English word hell. In this he agrees
with the celebrated Archbishop Farrar.

Alonzo Ames Miner. The tributes
called forth by his decease, in their
number and the variety of characters

in the history of our Church. In the
number of particulars which combined
in DIR. Miners character and work, he

saying that he is the greatest man our

NOVEL THEORY ABOUT MISSIONS.

Under this caption the Tribune
of this city comments upon recent
utterance of Rev. DIR. Blagden who
has just made an interesting contri-
button to the literature OF Missions
involving some peculiar ideas. The
Tribune quotes DIR. Blagden as saying
that foreign missions have not been
altogether a failure but that in COM
parison with what they might have
accomplished "they have been and
still are most emphatic and deplor-
able failure" The reason is that the
missionaries do not believe in and
preach a personal devil with a per-
sonal home, where he handles sinners
unpleasantly for unending periods
of time. They do not preach
The one and only and old time gospel
of Jesus crucified. to save from death
and hell, and the lake of fire, and etern-
al burnings, where the smoke of their
torment ascendeth up for ever and ever,
and from everlasting punishment in
eternal doom, and the bottomless pit.
and perdition. In fact, they preach and
teach anything and everything except
ing these words and warnings of AL
mighty God, with but very few excep-
tions.
DR.. Blagden recalls the fact that
one of the missionaries to China wrote
that the day before the massacre by
the "vegetarians" they were very
happy, preparing for nice little pic
mic on the following day. 'If those
missionaries" says the doctor, "had
believed what t1e Bible teaches about
the devil being a satanic person and
spirit, then they would have been SO
impressed with their tremendous mis-
sion and the dangers of the situation
that instead of getting ready for a
picnic they would have been down on
their knees praying and making prep
arations for holding pentecostal
prayer meetings" He thinks that
had that been done there probably
would have been no massacre.
The doctor says that if missions
are to be success then missiona-
ries-
Must be taught to shun and dread and
flee from the so called Higher Crit
cism," and Liberal Teachings" and
Broad Views" as they would indeed
from satan himself; because all of these
are the DEVILS instruments for deceiving
and misleading. seducing and damning
unstable souls
Unfortunately for DR.. Blagden's
peace of mind, it is not likely that
his advice will be adopted and mis-
sionaries sent out who will make a
speciality of soaring the heather into
Christianity by portraying to them
vindictive and vivacious devil who
rules over hot and waterless domain.
1t would be interesting to try the ex-
pertinent and see what effect the
birthstone treatment would have on
Chinese, Hindoos, and Africans, but
the world has drifted away from a
personal devil and a lake of burning
fire, and it is impossible to find many
who believe in them and therefore
could preach them forcibly.

SCRIPTURE.

(From Daily Praise and Prayer.')
SCRIPTURE
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee
into good land, land of brooks and
water, of fountains and depths that
spring out of valleys and hills; land of
wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig
trees, and pomegranatee; land of oil,
olive, and honey; land wherein thou
shalt eat bread without scarceness,
thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a
land whose stones are iron, and out of
whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
When thou hast eaten and art full,
then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God
for the good land which he hath given
thee.
HYMN,
In pleasant lands have fallen the lines
That bound our goodly hi rtage;
And, safe ben cath our sheltering vines,
Our youth is blest, and soothed our age.
What thanks o God, to thee are due,
That thou didst plant our fathers here.
And watch and guard them as they grew
vineyard to the planter dear!
The tolls they bore our ease have wrought:
Tney sowed in tears,-in joy we reap;
The birthright they so dearly bought,
Wen guard till we with them shall sleep.
Thy kindness to our fathers shown,
In veal and woe, through all the past,
Their grateful sons. o God shall own.
While here their name and race shall last.
PRAYER.
FATHER, we thank thee for the Joy of
lfe and the fair world in which we live;
for the fragrance and beauty of the
spring. the genial warmth and rich fruit
age of the summer, and the bountiful
harvests that crown the year. We thank
thee that our lines have fallen in pleas
ant places, and for all the heritage of
good into which we have been born. We
bless thee for every good institution:
for schools and churches; for that liberty
wherewith thou makest all men free.
We thank thee for the excellent example
of the faithful ones who have gone before
us; and we pray that we may be worthy
of our high privilege, and do our part
faithfully and well, to leave the world
better than we found it, better for our
having lived in it. AMEN.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation of the
character of Cod 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 prac-
tice good works, for these things are good and
profitable unto men.
