A REVOLUTIONARY HERO.

On Saturday, August 3, at the
pleasant town of Greenville, Ohio,
thousands of people, residents o. Ohio
and Indiana, gathered to celebrate
the centennial of General Anthony
Wayne's treaty of peace with the In
dams, Gov. Mckinley among others
making an address. "Mad Anthony
Wayne" as he was called on account
of his daring, came of Protestant Irish
stock and as a fighter did credit to
his ancestors, one of whom led body
of dragons at the battle of the
Boyne. Meeting at different times the
ablest generals of the British army
Gates, Carleton, Howe and Corn
wallis, during the seven years of rev.
dictionary struggle, he became to
Washington what Sheridan was to
Grant, "a thunderbolt of war;" ever
ready to be launched regardless of
numbers against the foe. Wayne
would have been thoroughly and de
ightfully at home in that wild charge
at Balaklava; and had he lived at
later day, might have been another
Sheridan turning the tide of battle
by the prestige of his bravery and
successful generalship. Though
Wayne won the title of Mad" on &C
count of his daring, and the Indians
called him Tornado" Washington
deemed him prudent general and
had the highest confidence in his gen.
ius for victory. 1t was early said of
Wayne in the Revolutionary war that
"where Wayne went there was fight
always; that was his business" And
if fighting must be done, and it must
be sometimes, the Wayne style of
general, the Ruperts, the Murats, and
the Sheridans are always in demand,
even though they rarely attain the
highest qualities of generalship.
1t is we'll that Ohio and Indiana
should thus remember this Revolt
tionary hero, near the site of old Fort
Recovery, and the celebration, though
perhaps having reference more direct
ly to the part Wayne took in winning
the West from the Indians, has
national Specification and interest.
No nation deserves to live that forgets
its heroes, or which in the day of
greater things, fails to give honor to
those who helped to lay the founda
tions of national greatness.

tntnK Lney 90. Iney are niSleu ny
terms. Total depravity does not
mean total depravity. 1.-THE symbol
has become the tomb of the idea"
Not only reason, but the Scriptures
contradict it. "God hath made man
upright, but he has sought out many
inventions" All the depravity that
attaches itself to his soul is acquired;
not natural. The child is more dis
posed to tell the truth than lie.
By mingling with evil companions,
he learns to lie and soon he acquires
the habit of using falsehood to
further his (supposed) personal in
terest. He is deluded, but he does
not know it, so he tells the lie when
he thinks he can gain an advantage.
No mother believes her child totally
depraved. The widow of an ortho-
dox clergyman was one day caressing
her little one in her lap, when
neighbor came in who knew what the
creed of her church was, and asked
her: "Do you believe that child is
totally depravedY mo, I DON'T
replied she Indignantly. She resent
ed the imputation. Yet her creed
required her to answer in the affirm
alive. The native affections of the
heart repudiate such doctrine.
All this is preliminary to answer
ing the question propounded in our
caption. Jesus was reformer. Man
was created in the divine image. That
image is stamped indelibly upon his
nature. Sin may mar, or mutilate,
bat cannot destroy it. Layer after
layer may cover it up, but cannot
hide it away SO that the word of
Jesus may not bring it out, remove
the sin, and make it the effective
agent in reforming the man. Jesus
labored to purify, heal, restore the
SOul, --uOC W CIcdIc III ANEW. AAo lew
heart" which the holy man asked
God to give him was set of new
m olives, new affections, new desires,
new purposes. These would replace
the old selfish, wicked motives that
prompted his acts, and give him
new character. Thenceforth his ac-
tions would be more pleasing to God,
more useful to men.
This is the Christian method of re-
deeming sinners. 1t is superior to
all man-made methods. All sinners
can and should follow it. All Chris
tians should use it for redeeming
their fellow men. Jesus was a re-
former. All his genuine followers are
reformers so far as they manifest his
spirit and use his methods. ISL.

AN INTERESTING CAREER ENDED.

Rev. JAMES III. ELKINs, Universalist
clergyman of Andover, NH, died re-
Gently at the age OF 70. Nearly forty
years ago he was we'll known in Vermont
as "Hervey Elkins," and the Christian
Repository, then edited by the late DR..
Eli Ballou, made the name familiar to
the Universalist denomination. His
early life was an interesting one, for at
the age of fourteen be became men,
Der of the Enfield IN. H. Society of
Shakers. where he remained fifteen
years. While a member of that COM
munity he fell in love with one of the
sisterhood. which was the cause of his
going back into the world. He finally
married the lady, and the union was
most happy one. Afterward he wrote a
hood entitled Fifteen Years in the
Senior Order of Shakers" which was an
exceedingly entertaining publication, re-
flecting very kindly upon the followers
of Ann Lee and their manner of living.
Removing to Glover, VT, he was induced
through the influence of Rev. George
Severance of that State, to prepare for
the Universalist ministry. He was or
dained at Hinesburg, VT, in 1857.
"Hervey Elkins" was unique charac-
ter, and man Of unusual mental power,
but he was not adapted to the passionate,
and some twenty five years ago he re-
tired from clerical labors and passed the
remainder of his life on the old home
stead in Andover where he was born.

DEATH OF MRS. MINER.

Christian Leader, August 1.-The sad
but hardly unlocked for tidings came to
us Saturday forenoon that at about the
hour of 4.30 the same morning, July q,
Mrs. Maria S. (Perley), widow of the
late Alonzo A. Miner. breathed her last.
A few days after the decease of her hus-
band she was stricken with paralysis,an
for hours was in semi.conscious and at
times wholly unconscious state. About
week later she rallied. the improvement
being so marked that hopes were enter
tanned of at least a partial recovery. But
relapse followed; then recuperation; then
again relapse. 1t became evident that
the gravest apprehensions were warrant
ed. Suddenly, at the hour named the
spirit took its fight.
The cause of Mrs. Miners decease can
easily be imagined; it is in the thought
of all who knew her intimately. The
blow that struck the husband was felt
at the time in only less degree by the
wife. Rev. Mr.. Robin said to us while
speaking of DR.. Miners departures: Mrs.
Miner is the only person in the house
that seems to have full self control.
There was no manifestation of feeling.
Her voice was clear and firm. She gave
directions for the funeral with a self
possession that half savored of indiffer-
ence." Neither then nor at the funeral
service did she manifest symptom of
grief. The truth is, she was stunnedl
Her physician expressed apprehensions
she needed the relief of copious tears;
but the bereavement was too great for
the relief of tears, and pent up nature
had vent in the shock that presaged
what was to come to pass death.
The secular papers make tender
mention of Mrs. Miners decease with
comments on her character and work.
We note the following in the Adver-
tiser of the following Monday:
Mrs. Maria S. Miner. widow of Rev. A.
A. Miner. D. D.. died at 4:30A. NJ. Satur-
day Of general debility, following the
great shock occasioned by the sudden
death of her husband about six weeks
ago. She was tenderly cared for in her
bereavement and illness by her sister,
Mrs Louise Swasey. and her nieces, Miss
Field and Miss Leona Field, but her
health has been SO delicate for some
time that her death was not unexpected.
Mrs. Miner, whose maiden name was
Perley, was native of Lempster, N. H.,
and was married to the late DIR. Miner
sixty years ago. They had no children.
She was helper to her husband in his
work. and kept in touch with the parish
by receiving all who wished to call upon
her each Monday afternoon and evening,
and this custom was kept up for forty
five years. She was also made the recip-
lent of many stories of both joy and sor-
row, was a sympathizer. in both. and
managed to call on each family in the
parish on an average twice a year, and
some OF them much oftener. She had
very large circle of friends, both outside
and in the parish. She was teacher in
the Sunday school all through this
lengthy period, dispenser of the chart
ties of the church, and was an active
member Of the Ladies' Charitable So
ciety of the Second Universalist Church,
though she would never consent to be
its president.

Wayside Notes.

1t is not by turning over libraries,
but by repeatedly perusing and intently
contemplating few great models, that
the mind is best disciplined Macaulay.
The British Weekly cites the late
Prof. Robertson Smith as having caus-
tically described the present generation
as one "indulgent beyond most others to
ignorance when it calls itself Philoso-
ply, and to blindness when it calls it
self Scientific Doubt"
An important truth is thus beauti-
fully set forth in the Outlook: "The
difference between bit of black carbon
and luminous lamp is in the electricity
which passes through the carbon. This
is religion-a divine current making
luminous common life. Bringing God
into every day life makes every day a
sacred day and every life divine life.'
The venerable John Ruskin was
asked recently whether parents ought
to leave fortunes to their children and
tersely replied: when they are strong
throw them out of the nest as the bird
does. But let the nest always be open
to them" 1t has been said Of Ruskin
that of late he has been losing his facul-
ties. On the other hand he seems to
have preserved them remarkably.
The most cultivated minds are usu-
ally the most patient, most clear, most
nationally progressive, most studious Of
accuracy in details, because not impa-
tiently shut up within them, as abso-

WAS JESUS A REFORMER?

A few weeks since heard a young
Baptist clergyman preach on the SUBJ
ject of regeneration and in the course
of his sermon he made the startling
assertion: "Jesus was in no sense a
reformer." He did not take the sin
ner and improve his condition, but
made a new man of him. He is not
like the tree growing up to maturity
and strength, or house repaired,
but a new tree or new house in
place of the old one. l was amazed,
and inquired in what did the identity
of the individual consist after the
process had been gone through with.
The preacher did not think of this,
but in accordance with his theological
bent sternly insisted upon killing off
"the old man" and replacing him
with "the new man." In other words,
he adhered literally to "the letter
which killeth," and rejected "the
spirit which maketh alive"
This is the old exploded doctrine of
total depravity which deprives man
of everything that is good and leaves
him helpless wretch unable to do
anything to effect his own salvation.
Not this alone, but no man can do
anything of himself to effect it. God
alone through Christ can save the
sinner. No human being can do it.
So he must wait Gods action, and if
this never comes, he is hopelessly
doomed. This, indeed, is sufficiently
dismal position. l felt when l left
the church where this doctrine had
been sounded in the ears of sinners,
that no one could feel much encour-
agement to live righteous, holy and
Christian life.
If man, the sinner, can not be re-
formed, what can we do with him?
If he is to be "made all over" he is
not the same being he was before.
He has lost his identity. He is liter
ally "a new creature" And, besides,
if he was created totally depraved
being, he can not be responsible for
any acts of sin that he commits. He
was made to do these acts. The ma
ture of being indicates the use for
which he is created. We expect the
horse will act out his horse-nature;
the dog, his dog nature; man, his
man nature. We have no reason for
thinking otherwise. So, if man is
created depraved, we must expect he
will do all the evil he can in the
world. He has no business to do
any good or obey any good laws.
His nature shows that he was not
made for this, but the opposite. Evil
he is and evil he must work all the
days of his life. He can not be held
responsible. He must act out his
natural bent of character and this is
inimical to all goodness. If such
being can sin, he can not be punished
with any consistency any more than
a horse can be punished for acting
like horse, or dog for acting like
a dog. He does what he was made
to do and this ends the matter.
This doctrine is too absurd torequire
argument to refute it. 1t is one of
those foolish things that have crept
into the Christian church and
wrought immense mischief there. No
one really believes it, though many

Richmond was in sackcloth and ashes
