THE Outlook. New
Lenten services York;, remarks:
each year observance of Lent by Prot
sstant churches is becoming more gen.
eral. The sober sense of the people is
asserting itself, and insisting that some
thing so desirable as long period for
religious worship and teaching ought
not to be thwarted by the antipathy of
ultra Professionals which has no better
basis than that, to our fathers, such ser
vices appeared to be RI mish. The fact
is that Lent has all along been observed
by the largest proportion of Christen-
dom, and there is nothing in the custom
which tends toward Journalism or is hos
tile to purely spiritual type OF Chris
tianity."

UNlveRsALlsT PROFESSION OF FAITH.
ADOPTED 1903.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures Of the Old
and New Testaments contain revelation OF the
character of God. 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 happi'
ness.
We believe that holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected, and that believers
ought to be careful to maintain order, and practice
good works, for these things are good and profit
able unto men.

The recent departure
rfol. john otuarI from the scenes of
DiacAle' earth of the distin-
guished Scottish scholar, John Stuart
Blackie, at the advanced age of sc years
has naturally brought to attention his
distinguished services in the world of
scholarship, and many pleasing remin-
iscences of his unique personality, He
was an object of love and interest to his
fellow countrymen of the Northern
Kingdom, and hardly less interesting
and beloved in all quarters of the British
islands. He was a man of strong patriot
ism and unbounded enthusiasm for his
native Scotland, and scholar whose re-
nown had crossed the ocean and made
him we'll known in this country and in
fact all over the world. Among all the va
rious tributes to his memory which have
come under our eye, that of the Oban
Times is alone in its recognition of an
episode in his career which proved how
much alive the eminent scholar was to

of the suffering in Scotland. He warm
ly espoused the cause OF the tenantry in
the dispute between the Highland croft
ers and their landlords. He deplored,"
says the Times, the restriction of the
crofters' privilege by the enclosure of
lands to which they at one time had &C
cess, by the preservation of moors for
sporting purposes, and by other abridge-
ments of their freedom; and there was no
more eloquent or energetic advocate of
their claims and interests. The dead
Professor, in short, was a man Of works,
who believed with the poet that "he
prayeth best who loveth best" Where
ever the cause of his country was to be
served - even to the extent of Home
Rule-there surely was he to be found.
Scotland is certainly the poorer for his
loss; and the Highlanders have parted
with a warm friend and sympathizer in
parting with John Stuart Blackis." The

Professor was broad in his religious
views and in this country would be
ranked among the foremost of Evangeli-
cal liberals. There are many passages
in his writings which indicate that he
was believer in the Eternal Hope.

THE CHRISTIAN REGISTER AND
THE LIBERAL CONGRESS.

The Christian Register, the we'll
known Unitarian journal of Boston,
with all its hospitality for advanced
opinions and we'll defined sympathy
for Liberalism" does not hesitate to
pronounce against the Liberal Con-
gress movement in the West, and
recognizes in that movement the ini-
tial elements of new denomination.
The Register has evidently come to
the parting of the ways" with its
former Unitarian associate in this
city, which has cut loose from the
Unitarian denomination and under
the name of "The New Unity" flies
the flag of the Liberal Congress. In
notice of the change, the Register
of March IA, says:
OUR former consort, Unity, has under
taken a new experiment. 1t has en-
larged its physical proportions; it has
heightened its keel and increased its
tonnage. 1t is still registered as Unity;
but it carries New" pennant at the
mast; and is the flagship of another
fleet. All of which, dropping the nau-
tical metaphor, means that our contem-
porary has doubled it's size and it's price,
and has become the recognized weekly
organ of the American Liberal Congress.
N off oiol oppoupoap,apf ~ Dow Ii VIZ
Thomas, president of the Congress, to
this effect appears in the first number of
New Unity. In the present state of
business it is somewhat hazardous for a
journal to raise it's price. even if it in
creases its size as compensation; and
this step must be considered as an evil
dence of the courage of New Unity, and
it's faith in it's enterprise. 1t has at.
tempted task of great difficulty. that
OF uniting the independent churches in
the West into organic activity. 1t has
not been an easytask to unite Unitarians
in organic work; and it will be still more
difficult to unite independent churches,
each of which has constituted denom-
ination by itself. There can be no ques-
ton that organic union is what the in
dependent churches need; but we think
it would add much more to the strength
of liberal religion, to join their forces to
these of some of the existing liberal or
CARNATIONS. Nothing is less needed
than a new denomination.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-03-30

WHILE we admire, therefore, the cour-
age of Unity and it's managers, we must
express the fear that the Liberal Con-
gress will he diverted from the original
object proposed by it. At the outset it
sought to- represent federation of diff
ferent liberal religious organizations.
That was a grand idea, and there are
ways in which it could be realized. Each
one of the States which forms the Amer
lean Union is strengthened by it's union
with the other States. while the nation
is strengthened by the consolidation of
its parts. 1t would be great help to
each of the liberal religious bodies of
America, and Strengthening of the
liberal cause as whole, if some such re-
ligious federation could be achieved.
But now we fear that the Liberal Con
gress will become simply another new
denomination, with private purse and
private flag and an Independent mani
festo. Can new liberal denomination
be successful without diverting church
es from affiliations already established,
and what is gained by doing it? In the
work of educating and developing liber.
al religious sentiment the New Unity
has our warmest sympathy. The energy
and faith it represents cannot be I'M
fruitful, but an endeavor to create new
denomination would sacrifice rather
than promote it.
This is substantially the position
assumed by The UNIvERsALIsT from
the beginning of the Congress move
ment. 1t is also the position taken
by Rev. Mr.. Sunderland in "The Uni
tartan" before its removal to Boston,
which was commented upon in our
columns at the time and gave rise to
quite an extended exchange of
opinion. All the movements of the
Illinois branch of the Liberal Con.
gress since that time denote not sim

Churches. nndo,htoa,v Foot
that the observance of the Lenten season
is growing in all churches. In our own
church this is almost matter of dem
onstration. Lenten services are now
held in many of our churches without
exciting any particular remark. This
does not argue any tendency toward
Episcopacy, or any high church idea.
1t simply is evidence that the Lenten
season is regarded as favorable to reli.
gious and spiritual impressions and that
our pastors and churches use the op-
portunity thus afforded for deepening
the religious convictions and enforcing,
under the solemn suggestions of the
season, the spiritual lessons of the Chris
tian life, and the duties and privileges
of membership in the Christian church.

announced this week, the Universalist
Church is bereaved of an able and faith
full minister, where loss to earth will be
keenly felt and deeply mourned. A vet
eran in years, he falls in the harness, &C.
lively engaged to the very hour when
he was stricken with his last illness in
the work of new pastorate. He was a
man of rare natural endowments and al
ways popular in his parishes on account
of his kindly nature and unselfish devo-
ton to his friends and the church. He
possessed ready gift Of speech and
when aroused by his theme and the
occasion was very eloquent speaker.
His pastoral work was always very sat-
isfactory, and wherever he labored the
cause has prospered. Iowa will mourn
for Bro. Porter. and New York and
Pennsylvania where he spent the most of
his ministry, will be sorry to learn that
he has gone hence. His wife and family
will be tenderly remembered in their
sorrow.

to him about it they had the trouble
