THE LAYMAN AND WORK FOR
MISSIONS.
BY HENRY N. DODGE.

This subject is one dear to my
heart because | believe that the work
of the Lord is committed to the lay
men of the church quite as much as
to those more especially set apart for
the work of the ministry. am Pres
byterian enough to think that the or
dained minister is not a member of a
superior order set over the layman,
but, rather, one chosen out of the
laymen to represent and lead them.
Has not Christ "made us kings and
priests unto God?" And l am
enough of a Quaker to believe that
we shall all be lied of the spirit"
Would that someone filled with the
Spirit and with tongue like that of
the lanented Chaplin might go up
and down throughout our church to
encourage our laymen in their great
work, and urge them on to renewed
and larger efforts.
A Protestant church should be
strong in it's laity. Those are wise
words of the Rev. Mr.. Shinn wherein
he counsels the scattered laymen of
our church not to wait for the leader
ship of the ordained minister, where
believers are few, but to draw near to
each other and to organize for be-
ginning of the work, however simple
and unimportant it may seem to be;
so by their efforts, with divine help,
gathering strength for larger things
to come.
There are many things to which l
would like to call the attention of my
brother laymen of the Universalist
Church, but feel unable to set them
forth with becC ming strength and
clearness in an orderly and logical Sc
quence.
First of all let us have entire con-
secration to the work of Christ. In
Christ, God appears to us; in Christ,
God speaks to us. When we love
Christ and work for his cause, we love
God and are working for the up

young women will prove valuable
helps in the various churches and
stations by the establishment of
schools of their own and thus gain
an entrance into the lives of the little
ones and eventually strengthen the
church. l feel sure that this enter
prise is we'll worthy the support of
our people. 1t has at least this much
in its favor which no one will scarce
ly question, that it provides for the
inculcation of Christian truths at a
period of life when they will be
likely to have the greatest influence
upon the pupils. Moreover the
course of instruction is SO arranged
as to cover seven years. If the
pupils can be kept in the school
during this term of years they can
not help but receive good which shall
exert lasting influence on their
lives. Eventually it is hoped that
Bible school for women will be es-
tablished in which those who have
proved themselves worthy and inter
ested may receive special instruction
to fit them for evangelizing work.
This is regarded by our Japanese
co-worker as very important need.
In behalf Of these labors for the
women of Japan the workers in the
field look to our home church for
support and sympathy. The work is
more hopeful than it has ever been.
And our friends may rest assured
that with Miss Osborn at the head
the work among the women is in safe
hands.

building of his kingdom. Let us be
clear in this matter; God is not di-
vided, and we do not serve two Gods,
but we see God revealed in Christ
and we serve God best by following
his Son. The first thing, then, for us
all, is entire and absolute consecra-
ton to Christ, and through his name
we shall find power and victory; be-
cause we are following, not our own
way, but the divinely appointed way.
By absolute conservation | mean a
conservation of our entire being; SO
that business interests, social posi-
ton, political ambition, party ale

ready to be sacrificed, should they

readers the condition Of the woman's
work at present in Japan.
The work is in charge of Miss
Catherine Osborne. The work which
she has already accomplished and
the devotion and earnestness she has
shown in it has proved to us that no
mistake was made when she was
sent to the foreign field. Her ener-
gies are now engaged in kindergar-

tablished not long after she reached
Japan, and which has met with re-

WESTERN POETRY
And a Splendid Example.

To the Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT:
Some months ago l noticed in one of
your issues that Hon. Chas. A. Dana
had stated that no poetry was being
written in the West, or words to that
effect. 1t hardly seems probable that
he could have made this statement, as
in an address on Newspaper Making"
delivered last winter. he said that it had
been stated that the poetry of the pres
emit was not equal to that of the past,
and quoted as proof of the incorrectness
of this the following written by resi-
dent of Seattle, Wash.
This poem seems to me especially ap-
propriate for publication, especially the
last verses. after the impressive cere-
monies at Chicamauga recently. S.

HIGH TIDE AT GETTYSBURG.

A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky Shield
Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horsemen dashed
And from the heights the thunder pealed.
Then. at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchless infantry,
With Pickett leading grandly down,
To rush aga INST that roaring crown
OF ttose dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
cry across the tumult runs:
The voice that rang through Shiloh's woods
And Chickamauga's solitudes;
The fierce South cheering on her sons.
All. how the whitening tempest blew
Aga INST the front OF Pettigrewl
A kahmsin wind that scorched and slnged.
Like that Internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo
A Il Oasand fell where Kemper led;
A thousand died where Kemper bled;
In binding fame and strangling smoke,
The remnant through the batteries broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
