REVIVAL MEETINGS DESCRIBED.
BY MARK HoLRoYD.

A series of revival meetings have
just closed in this town (Gloversville,
N. W under the management of
Evangelist Cell. Six churches were
united in the movement-two Meth
odist Episcopal, one Presbyterian,
one Lutheran, one Congregational,
and one Baptist. A chief feature of
the meetings was one central meeting
in the largest building and for those
who could not be accommodated in
this, the Baptist and Presbyterians
alternately opened their doors for
overflow meetings so that two build
ings were constantly crowded to ex-
cess. The evangelist would occupy
about thirty minutes in the overflow
meeting, then come to the central au-
ditorium and give the same talk
there. The reader can thus see an
effect would be produced, when for
eighteen nights about 1900 people
were closely packed together. They
give the number of converts at twelve
hundred.
The congregation was divided into
groups with leader for each. After
his talk, which was quite melodra-
matte and sometimes bordering on
the ludicrous each group would have
it's prayer meeting conducted by the
leader, who requested all in the group
to bend the knee and engage in low.
audible prayer. Such as the follow.
ing then took place: A minister said
to one man, "You believe in Christ
don't you7" "Of course l do" was
the reply. "You know you are sin
ner, do you not3" "Of course am
sinner" ''If you think SO why don't

THE EVERYDAY CHRIST.
BY p. F. LUCAS.

This is an era of new methods and
new ideas. The high system of edu-
cation that prevails, the competition
that is found in all lines of business,
the aggressive action and fertility of
mind to grasp the advantages of the
situation, developed in the young
men and women of this generation,
stimulate the desire to grasp the
problems of life in the most econom
ical manner.
This spirit of progress has found
its way into the Christian church and
the cause of Christ is being advanced
more rapidly and effect ually than
ever before, because of this growing
desire to do things better than we
have been taught.
The religion of today is not SO
much matter of form as it has been;
it is not something that must be kept
apart from every day life; only to be
used like the "best parlor" on certain
defined occasions; it is not a dark
solemn cloud that one should carry
through life with fear and trembling;
it is not cloak to throw over and
obscure us that we may commune
with God.
We today find our eyes opened to
the truth, and have learned that the
pure religion of Christ, untainted by
human doctrine and dogma, is a Joy
and pleasure; something to make us
happy, whose diffused light will il
lumine our whole lives if we will only
not let it. That it is a power for good
only on one day of the week but on
seven; something that will make labor
lighter, pain easier to bear, joy holier,
life sweeter.
We are beginning to see Christ's
teachings in different light. Though
his teachings have always been the
same, they have been interpreted in
a narrow sense. He has always
taught that the Gospel was for all of
us; that it was something practical to
live by and work with, yet many have
been blind to the light.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-03-16

The line that separated the church
from the people is becoming rapidly
indistinct. The people are finding
out that these teachings of the Mas.
ter cover every path in life; that they
are not only sufficient for the church
and home, but by entering into each
ones occupation, and diffusing them
selves through every transaction,
make what ever they come in contact
with purer, sweeter, holier.
1t is our duty as well as our pleas
ure, being brothers in Christ, to take
him with us every where, on the farm,
in the store, in the office, at the home,
or wherever we may be, make him
our companion, his words our watch
word, and his life a straight line,
which with Gods help we must par
allel as near as possible, and fulfill
the mission that he has designed for
us.

FUTURE PUNISHMENT.

1t seems hard for some people to
distinguish between the doctrine of
future punishment and that of end
less punishment. Universalists most
emphatically believe in the former
and most emphatically disbelieve the
latter.
1t is only when future punishment
is made endless in duration that the
Universalist parts company with his
Orthodox friends.
The Universalist can see nothing
in the demands of justice, equity, ex-
pediency or the freedom of mans will
that makes endlessness of future
punishment necessary. While on the
other hand he sees how justice is
defeated, equity made for ever
myth, expediency annihilated. and
free will made to be the greatest curse
God could have given his children,
instead of the greatest blessing.
Besides, love, mercy, gentleness,
forgiveness, long suffering, patience
the cardinal virtues of the Son.
who reveals the character of the
Father, all call for future punish
ment which shall correct, cure, in
struct, and finally lead forth a puri-
fed humanity, in whom love and
justice shall find their full satisfac-
ton.
There can be no other successful
issue of things. An infinite punish
ment is out of all proportion to the
sins of which man is guilty. Prove
to me that man can sin forever, Tin
finitely,) and you have disproved
moral ruler of the Universe. Prove to
me that one sinner, one enemy of
God, can stand out against the
Fathers will and you have proven all
those texts which tell of "all power
in heaven and earth" bestowed upon
the Son, who "shall reign until all
enemies are put under his feet" that
"God may be all in all" mere rhetor-
ical phrases that in no way express
the limited powers of the Father and
the Son who are impotent to dnaw
one soul from out the vortex of sin
and wretchedness. = Rec. b. j. Fell.

gives me the right to take the ranch
But cannot turn him and his family
out into the world with nothing
The world is full of these noble deeds.
And to put this spirit into man is the
work of the church. Not to DESTROY
life but to save life. Not to beat
manhood down, but to build it up.
Not to make men run political parties,
but to put this better, broader, help
fu. life into men who run parties and
make laws is the function of the
church.
The church cannot run the frater-
mites and clubs and benefit associa
tions, and it is not in competition with
all these. But its highest and noblest
function is to carry more abundant
spirit into the fraternities and orders
and business life, and thus furnish
men-true men-who love their fell
lows, and who will put the Christ life
into all these organizations.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT I. M. ATWOOD, D. D.

THE letter of DR.. Depew explains in a
most persuasive way the relation of the
New York Central railroad and some
other corporations, to the subject of re-
duced rates Of fare for clergymen. Mr..
Depew exempts the clergy at once and
unanimously from the charge of misus-
ing the privilege. They do not barter
their ride rights But certain other sly
fellows, who were never ordained nor
even intend to be, have stolen the livery
of clergymen to get ride on. Moreover,
some roads have willfully and wickedly
connived at the iniquity, furnishing
clerical rate tickets to "scalpers" and
the general public. So in their perplex-
ity over the abuse the Central and some
other roads decided to let clergymen
ride on full fare tickets.
DIR. Depew adds! 1.-The ministerial
ticket was issued at reduced rate, not
as an act of charity, as some alleged. but
because It was believed that the clergy
and the church performed an essential
service which was felt throughout the
vast employment of these corporations.
whether that is sound business rea-
son we leave to business men. Clergy
men travel quite generally on errands
for which they receive little or nothing.
That is, they serve the public. Again,
they often go to considerable distances
to supply" and if they pay the regular
fare the railroad gets all they earn. 1t
seems clear that their case deserves con-
sideration; whether at the hands of the
railroads or not is another question.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie tells in the
March Forum what kind of tariff he
would make if he were dictator. 1t re-
minds me very much of the ample and
benevolent program sketched by the
clown in the circus, in the event of his
becoming chief magistrate. Many things
Mr.. Carnegie would do strike one as
consummations devoutly to be wished.
But we are not able to master the princi-
pie on which he proposes to raise large
amount of revenue on a small amount
OF "luxuries consumed by the rich" The
silks, china, laces, muslins, hats, cloaks.
etc.. which Mr.. Carnegie imagines are
imported for the rich only, are in COM
mon use, or their American equivalents,
by millions Of the American people; the
whole importation is less than the reve-
nue. he would expect to raise from them:
and any increase in the duties on them
would raise at once the price of the
whole volume of equivalent or closely

account of his blue eyes. once pistol
burglar, was taken up" for murder,
they sent word to our College, and I
went to try to comfort Lizzie, his in
tended bride. The day before he
was hanged, the ''prison philanthro-
pist, " as good old Mr.. Thomas Wright
was called, took me to see Blue Jim
in the condemned CELL Jim asked
me to pray for him and Lizzie, but |
could only sob-we all wept-even
the warder on guard broke down.
In kind of whisper, Jim explained
that it was not murder but an acci-
dent, and really the other mans fault,
only he could not prove it; and he
then told me of hiding place where
l should find his silver watch and
some gold, his ''real own," he said,
which I was to give with his dying
love to Lizzie. He also said, "Tell
all tn young 'uns to go to tn Sunday
School; tell 'em that Blue Jim says
So" The next morning all the gang
and the Roughs went to see Jim, not
out of curiosity but in sympathy, and
when he appeared on the scaffold un-
der the moose, subdued murmur
went over the crowd; it was," God
bless poor Jiml" In the hush which
followed all those thousands hoard
the smack of the rope when Jim fell
through the drop, most of them clos
ing their eyes a moment. Lizzie al
most died of grief. and some people
said it made an old man of me, for in
my boyish way loved poor Jim.
Young men, stick to your Sunday
school. Never go boating or picnic
pleasuring on the Lords Day, for
harm is sure to come of it. am sat-
isfied that money spent in selfish
pleasure or earned in pandering to it
on the Lords Day has blight upon
it; such conduct is sin against man
kind. The young man who keeps
the Sabbath and humbly kneels be-
fore God every day in prayer to be
guided in right ways will become
perhaps not the richest or strongest,
but certainly one of the brightest and
bravest men that lives.

A French savant has recently
figured that it takes ESQ pounds of
lead to kill a man in modern battle,
and that for every soldier left on a
field 800 shots were fred" writes
Colonel James McChesney, a re-
tired army officer. "In the old
days when men fought with sword
and battle-axe the fatalities were
much greater. When two warriors
met in hand-to-hand conflict in those
heroic days they were never parted
until one or the other fell dead or
wounded.
Strange as it appears, the many
inventions of death dealing ma
chinery have greatly lessened the
danger of warfare, though it is not
a game to be played with impunity.

powerful explosives are going to

The next European war OF maSnl-

Calculation will do more toward
winning a fight than brute force,
and the aim of each side will be
rather to paralyze the enemy than
to kill him.

munications, to starve him, to dis
organize his forces, to drive him to

Draws Sharp Line-Resolution and
Committee-six New Members
Thanking Ladies.

Fifty-three members attended
the business meeting Of Company
d Wednesday night, called by J.
l.. Torbert, Lieutenant command
ing. Six new names were proposed
which will increase the roll to
eighty-seven members. The first
important business transacted was
the adoption of the following:
Resoi0ed, That all those who
were not members in good standing
of some military Company, or of
the Citizens Guard, or of the police
force prior to January 6, 1895, be
not retained in Government EN-
ploy.
Sergeants Dat and McInerny,
Corporals Effinger and Burnette
and Private L. M. johnson were
appointed to confer with like COM
mittees from the other companies
and armed organizations, and de-
wise ways and means for carrying
out the spirit of this resolution.
AS result of discussion on this
resolution the conclusion was
reached that no employee of the
Government was excusable for not
being a member of the militia or
the police of the country. 1t was
thought insufficient that such a
person volunteered on Monday,
after the result OF the rebellion was
practically settled.
At the close vote of thanks was
extended Mesdames Dexter, Along,
w. c. Wilder and J. Y. Lewis, the
Misses Perry and other ladies who
contributed so kindly to the Com
pany's comfort during the late cam
paign.

THE REAR WALL FALLS.
PART OF THE OPERA HOUSE RUIN
CRASHES INTO ARIoN HALL.
Damage to the Wooden Structure-Un.
occupied at the Time-Other Walls
Weakened.

The rear wall of the opera house,
left standing after the late fire, fell
with great crash this morning
and smashed part of Arion Hail
into kindling wood. Arion Hall is
twenty feet from the opera house.
1t is a wooden structure with cor
rugated iron roof. The main hall
is on the mauka end, or toward
King street. The force of the wind
sent the dismembered wall of the
opera house outward upon Arion
Hall. About one-fourth of the
building is crushed. The damage
is perhaps $500.
Arion Hall was occupied by Miss
Carney's private school. Twelve
pupils were taught here. Wisely
Miss Carney has not taken her
school into the building since the
opera house fire. A dancing school
occupied the hall once each week.
1t was also used as a Mormon
church.
Absence of the rear wall leaves
the side walls in a weak condition
and liable to tumble at any mo-
ment.

BOTH ARE KNOWN HERE.
TWO OF THE MEN LOST WITH THE
STEAMER MoNsARRAT.
Captain Blackburn and Williams, the
Carpenter-The Visit of the Steel
Tramp to This Port.

1t is now positively known here
that the steamer Monsarrat is lost.
The ship is we'll known all over the
Pacific. She gained especial no.
toriety by "black birding" trip to
the islands of the south. 1t was
on that voyage that she touched at
this port. The Monsarrat then had
as passenger the old king of one
of the Caroline group. He had
been to the coast on political mis-
sion. The old fellow wanted to deed
his domain to the United States. He
could get no attention. On return
ing home he found the British
colors waving over his kingdom
and soon became reconciled.
One of the Monsarrat's sailors on
this voyage was a reporter for a
San Francisco paper. On return
ing to the coast he published an
account of the abduction of natives
for use on plantations in South
America. The story was
a good and made a
great sensation. There was an
inquiry, and some people interested
in the expedition were OH the ner-
vous seat for long time.
Captain Blackburn went down
with the Monsarratt. He had
quite a number Of acquaintance
here. Blackburn was man OF
pleasant address and reckless dispo-
sition. He would prefer any time
an undertaking with hazard in it.
The captain and his friends said
that his business was not at all
brutal; that he really did good
turn for the idle natives.
Another man still better known
in Honolulu is believed to have
been lost with the steamer. This
was a Mr.. Williams. He was tor
a long time with the Oahu Railway
Company here, then mate on the
w. G. Irwin, and next carpenter
on the tramp steamer. Williams
married native girl here.
The Monsarrat was a collier al
the time she succumbed to WIND
and wave.
