SOME DIFFERENCE YET.

Rev. Henry r. Rose, of the Uni
versalist church in Auburn, Me-, ad-
dressed this letter to the editor of
the Outlook, where it appears in the
issue of August TO- 1t is a word in
season, and makes several good
points:
In your editorial July 2O) on the Con-
vention of Universalist Young People,
held in Boston contemporaneously with
the Convention of the Young Peoples
Society for Christian Endeavor. you use
language which is likely to mislead. You
say: I'VE doubt very much whether, if
any one who did not know the names of
the two Conventions were to go from one
to the other, he would be able to distin-
guish the orthodox from the Universal
list. The distinction would probably be
no more apparent when the lines OF work
were studied. The difference is largely
nominal" You are right in saying that
the Universalist young people are trying
zealously to do do the same work that
engages the hearts of the Y P. S. G. Els
namely, making this better and hap
pier world. The emphasis of Universal
ism has always been on practical right
eousnsss. But you are truly astray in
saying that the difference between there
two organizations sis largely nominal"
The difference, theologically, is radical
unless orthodoxy has shifted its fun
damental ground. The Universalist
young people, in common with their sen.
iors, believe that God is Universal Fa-
Their, who intends and will succeed in
developing every human being that ever
lived, so that all will be holy and happy.

THE CONVENTIONS.

Manford's Magazine for July con-
tains the following words in season
touching our coming Conventions:
The days are rapidly approaching
when Conventions of Universalists
will be the general order. Even now
in some of the States, the annual
gatherings have been held and others
are announced and will be things of
the past ere the autumn months ar
rive.
These Conventions are very impor-
tant features of our denominational
life and success. To many scattered
believers these annual gatherings are
the only time in the year when any of
the "glad tidings of great JOY" be-
come audible. To all attendants,
Conventions should be profitable for
doctrine, for correction of errors, for
growth of the truth, and for vigorous
Christian work. They who assemble
in the light of the fatherhood of God
and the needs of humanity should re-
turn to their homes benefited by the
interchange of thought and feeling;
strengthened by the Spirit, and car
rying gifts of added religious life to
those who wait their coming. But
there are Conventions and Conven-
tions, just as there are delegates.
Some Conventions assemble for a
purpose, do their work, and ere a
year has gone, show good results;
others assemble, talk a great deal
about matters of no consequence,
glorify Universalism or individuals,
fritter the time away, then relapse in
to silence for year and accomplish
nothing.
In years that have gone there has
been altogether too much glorifca-
ton Of Universalism for the good of
the church, and some of that DISPOSE
ton still exists. To tell how super
ior it is to orthodoxy is to build no
abiding euperstructure of religious
truth. The great thinking religious
world cares very little for such asser-
tons. They do not indicate strength;
they constitute no proof of superior
ity. The world judges by accom-
plished results in religion as in every
thing else. Wherever Universalism
shows these results, it thrives. Con-
ventions can do much in this direc-
ton by solidifying the opinions of
their members into positive forces,
but churches must be careful to send
delegates with Opinions and will"
if they wish to be benefited by the
gatherings, or really desire to aid on
the cause.
Our Conventions, as whole, have
been of the greatest service to our
denomination and should be fully at
tended. They call together isolated
individuals and the representatives
OF churches widely scattered, develop
a common bond of union, and create
warmth, enthusiasm and earnest de-
termination to work together for the
truth. There are myriads of Univer-
salists who need to be stirred, awak-
ened and reused into activity. Our
churches need the strength which
these individuals represent, as the
church universal needs the combined
strength of the organizations which
are scattered here and there through
out city and country.
All who are interested in the sue
cess of the principles of Universal
ism and desire to see them grow in
strength and power should be inter
ested in the success of our State
Conventions. They are the natural
sources of religious activity, and
practically tell the story of success or

EDITORIAL.

If all Universalists
A Good Example, were possessed of the
mental honesty and determination of
character of young lady who recently
joined our church at Sharpsville, Pa,
our church statistics would present
different appearance. Her name is Miss
Adeline q. Whigham, and her home is in
Camden, Pa, some Us miles from
Sharpsville, which is the nearest point
where Universalist minister is located.
The young lady had the usual invita-
tions to join the orthodox churches with
"no questions asked" but preferring to
stand up and be counted, she went to
Sharpsville, remained over Sunday with
friends and visited with our church
there, returning during the week to be-
gin again her regular attendance at
Christian worship. There must be good
material in that family, and we hope
that if General Missionary Shinn passes
through the lake region again he will
give them a call.

THE Albany Evening
Rapid Growth of journal comments on
Church Membership the DIGEST of the
church census returns of 1890, recently
issued by the Interior Department, in an
interesting manner. From these returns
it appears that in the ten years between
1880 and 1890, the total membership of
the Protestant churches in this country
had increased from 9,263, 1874 to ID, 1885,
1868, an increase, be it noted. of over AZ
per cent. These returns, the Journal
remarks, should be highly encouraging,
especially to persons who have been i'm
pressed with the contention that the
world was becoming materialistic, skep-
tical, and getting away from the moor
ings of Christianity" When we give
ear to the pessimistic utterances of those
at the present time who claim that
Christianity is losing ground and that
the materialistic and skeptical philoso-
phy-so called-is advancing, it is we'll
to remember that similar claims have
been made in all generations, and that
Christianity has outlived all the doleful
prophecies of the past and was never
more likely than at present to achieve
the conquest of the world. The nine
teenth century has seen wonderful
changefor the better in all that pertains
to moral and spiritual interests in both
the Old World and the New. Those who
take gloomy views Of the future of
Christianity, need to understand some
thing of the condition of affairs at the
beginning of this century and then they
would recognize how far the world has
advanced.

motion, there was gush.' For our part,
we have rarely seen meeting with as
little gush as in this meeting. To use
that word would be a stupid and sense
less caricature. The really descriptive
word, is enthusiasm, which is always no.

annals of the world is the triumph OF
enthusiasm; while Bulwer Lytton de-
clares that enthusiasm is the genius Of
sincerity, and truth accomplishes no
victories without it. He makes fatal
mistake who confuses enthusiasm with
sentimental effervescence, and mistakes
the one for the other.
