Of Deceased.
John II. Scott has got home
from Iowa Mrs. Scott is still in
Wisconsin, bnt is expected home
in few days.
Nv. Z. Robertson Of Lake Park,
Iowa, agent for the German Insur-
ance Company, made q business
trip through this town last week.
During the past two or three
weeks, quite number Of people
have been more or less indisposed.
It comes very much like a severe
cold, accompanied with a distress
ing cough. Quite small children
seem to suffer from it as much as
older people.
Once again, Death has thinned
our ranks, and this time his APP
proach was SO stealthy and his
stroke SO sudden and unsnspected
that friends stood aghast, paraly-
zed by the suddeness Of the shock.
On Saturday morning January 9Th
at about two o'clock, Mrs Mary
Ferrin, wife Of S. G. Ferrin, quiet
" passed away almost without a
struggle or q pang. For some.
years her health has not been
good, but Of late she has been bet
ter, she thought, than for a long
time. She retired in usual good
health, but sonnet time alter mid,

long she spoke to Mr. Ferfin to
come to her assistance, but he had
scarcely reached her side when
she fell back and breathed her
last. The funeral service was held
on Sunday at the NJ. ID. church in
this town, Rev. ". Webster, Of
Rushmore officiating. The con
course Of people who assembled to
pay the last tribute Of respect, was
evidence Of the esteem in which |
the deceased was held, and Of the
warm sympathy felt for the be-
reaved family On Monday the I
remains, accompanied by some
members Of the family, were taken
to Minneapolis where she was laid |
to rest beside her kindred who
went before Mrs. Ferrin was a
native Of Kentucky, but her par
ents moved to Illinois when she |
was but few months old; there
she lived until some years after
she was married. She came TO-
Minnesota IN very early day,
aud at the time Of the Indian mas
sacre in 81, was living on a farm
near New Ulm. They, like their
around them, had to
seek safety in fight. They left
everything behind them and took
refuge in the fort, where her hus-
oand and one child died. In the
.amily are still preserved some
'elics in the shape of broken fur
liture, smashed by the tomahawk !

1.-THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD"

This is a new Manual of Faith and
Duty, by Charles ElIwood Nash, d. D.,
the seventh in the order. And it is new
in several particulars; it is just written, it
is fresh with the latest religious thought,
it is in style as marked and peculiar as
any newborn creature and new made
thing. illustrating the wonderful possi-
bilities of our subtle English language,
it is new in the much it involves and in
the unity of wholeness of the Saviour's
work which it sets forth.
The subject Of it is SO old and common
that many are in danger Of putting it
aside as too ancient and worn for re-
hearsal. But they could scarcely make
greater mistake. Though the subject is
old this Manual is the freshest thing out.
1t treats the subject in such an all round
way, SO from the inside and the outside,
under SO many heads and relations, that
it involves a system of theology and an
ideal order of life. Pity those who fail
to read it.
But beyond this newest thing in the
Manual line, there are many things to
be said in favor of this set of booklets on
our Universalist theology. They cost
but little in cash, 25 cts each, and but
little in time to read them. If any one
is dull it is dullness soon over; if any
one is rich, like this last, it can be read
often and made perpetual feast. TAX
en- together they are broad in their
treatment Of theology; taken separately
they are definite and pointed. They are
outspoken and positive, but they abuse
nobody and controvert but little. They
are especially good for busy laymen who
want their theological reading boiled
down and crystallized. A whole library
can be had on one shelf few inches
long and yet the whole contest of the
ages will be in it. 1t will be literally
"much in little" Like Christ's Gospel
it will be an immense affair in a small
space. In the reading line this little
brace of books,"The Manuals of Faith
and Duty" ought to so characterize all
our Universalists as to be in all their
homes, badges Of the faith. The home
that is without them is lacking in i'm
portant particulars. A good stroke of
policy was it to prepare these hundred
page books of condensed theology for the
reading of an age that is in hurry to
get its work done. Let them adorn and
enrich all our homes.

hold their meetings every Sunday night

are very active in the work of the So

Table Groue.-Their membership list
shows sixty, but only about twenty at

Unions throughout the State.
Galesburg.- Y.P. G. U. reports
that one delegate will be sent to the
National Convention to be held in July.
SiCan Creek.-They sent delegate to
the Spoon River Association. At their
last business meeting they voted to have
a membership vow, which reads as fol

order, practice good works,be temperate,
avoid evil companions, support the Con-
stitution of our Union, and live daily so
as to set good example for my fellow
men,"
Girard.-This Y. P. G. U. is nearly
fifteen years old; they have not held
many devotional meetings lately, but
business meetings are held every two
weeks. II each member could feel an
individual responsibility they would not
lose interest, but it seems as if most of
their members want to be entertained
and that is where they make their mis-
take The main object of the Y. P. G. U.
is not entertainment. 1t leaves just
few to carry on all of the work.
EarluiHe.-They have organized
Post Office Mission and hope for good
results. They also contribute to the

ious problems, but this does not con-
stitute the essence of religion. We
believe in the supremacy of the human
reason in deciding truth or error in
religion, but we do not believe that
the human reason requires us to ig
more the highest religious needs OF
man in order to find a basis for re-
ligious fellowship. We believe in
moral character and work as the test
of mans worth, but we believe char
acter is the end and aim of religion,
the product of religious fellowship
rather than the sole basis of religious
fellowship. We cannot free ourselves
from the conviction that real religious
fellowship must have Theistic basis.
Moreover we believe that real relig-
ious sympathy and fellowship can
not exist unless there is to a greater
or less degree intellectual sympathy
and fellowship.

cur lay on one of the steps leading to-
the front door. That door was half
open. kept in position by bag of
feed.
Entering, found myself in pas
sageway with two doors, one to the.
right and the other to the left. n
knocked at the right, and scarce hear
ing reply, walked into a room where
a rough looking man in shirt sleeves
was eating his dinner, with an equally
rough looking crew of boys and
young men. The woman who ates
with them and waited on them gave
me chair. The man asked me some
questions, in reply to which I told
him l was on tramp, and had come
from N-H- since breakfast
where | had put up at the hotel.
WELL" he said, looking at my pack,
when l was young used to be ped,
ding on the road myself, but I never
had SO much cheek as to burst into a
private house as you have done.'~
Ihe house was double one. The,
hotel was at the other end. OF course
| lost no time in trying that end, but.
learned 20 my chagrin that the occu-
pants had given up hotel keeping,
and had taken in their sign, had had
their dinner, and would not furnish
ME with anything to eat There was
nothing for me to do but to try the
other half, where dinner was being
served. | did not try in vain. The
man had had his dinner and his Joke
and was in good humor. The woman
was willing to earn little money ,
and gave me an excellent meal. After
that L got on swimmingly with aln
parties. My rough man was a wood
chopper. I soon found that he was
a hunter, too, and a good fellow. We
talked on guns and rifles. He
brought his piece out to show me-
We passed very pleasant half hour
together, and parted the best of
| friends.
The improved health, the continued
change of scene, with the accompany
ing incidents of travel, all conduce
to state of mind which is like re-.
newal of its best powers. This state,
of mind is the crowning benefit of

UNITARIANISM IN JAPAN.
BY REV. I. W. CATE.
(In the Japanese Universallst.)

WHEN the Senshin Gakuin, the
school under the auspices of the Uni
tarians, was opened, we expressed re-
gret that it was not more distinctively
Christian. We did not doubt that
such a school would be useful and
would do work which needed to be
done, but we also felt that such work
could not be less effectively done if
the school had pronounced Chris
tian purpose. Moreover we thought
that as the Senshin Gakuin was the
only school belonging to the Unita-
rians there was all the more need
that it should represent their religi-
GUS position. At the time we made
the above criticism we did not believe
that the Senshin Gakuin justly rep
resented the purpose of Unitarians in
Japan. That is, we thought the Uni
tartan Mission, while supporting a
school not distinctively Christian
claimed to be itself distinctively
Christian.
We have discovered, however, that
we were mistaken in this view. From
a letter written to Mr. Nakanishi, by
Mr.. MacCauley, and published in the
"Shukyo," we learn not only that the
Unitarian Mission in Japan does not
claim to be distinctively Christian
but also that Unitarianism by its very
principles cannot justly claim to be
Christian. These principles as stated
by Mr.. MacCauley are as follows:
l. Free thought in the investiga-
tion of religious problems.
2. The supremacy of the human
reason in deciding truth or error in
religious doctrine.
3. Moral character and work as
testing the worth of men, and as
being the ultimate basis of church or
associated religious fellowship.
From these three principles alone
it is clear that Unitarianism cannot
be called justly religion, but is
rather method of studying religion.
A man may be Unitarian and still
not be religious at all. Among
Christians at least the fundamental
principle of religion consists in the
recognition of the relation between
God and man. But the three princi-
pies of Unitarianism do not recognize
