To our church in this State and the
varied denominations interests with
which he was connected, Mr.. Swans
death brings also deep sense OF loss,
which will be felt, even more keenly,
as the years come and go, and we
r, alize that his genial presence, fer
vent speech, and wise counssls are
with us no more forever. While we
bow with resignation to the will OF
the Father who has called home our
dear brother, we feel smitten by the
sudden bereavement and can hardly
be reconciled to the thought that ne
has gone away to return no more.
But it is sorrow that all must bear
as becometh Christians, who while
mourning the earthly dead, rejoice
in their blessed memories and are
sustained by immortal hope-even
the hope that entereth within the
veil,-the hope in which James Il.
Swan lived and died.

cultivate warm cordial relations. came

Nash then spoke of the deeper feeling
and said there never was a good cause
for which hard work was done that did
not succeed. A proof of this is seen in
the result of the labors of the apostles.
There are many more than twelve in this

come here with great expectations
and think we shall do something here.
Comparison shows that during the forty
years, progress has been made and pay
a need of praise to those who have up
held the institution during these long
years. Still we are made aware of new
spirit new tendency in the world of
to-day. Young people have enrolled
themselves in good causes, that have
sent thrills of new life through the
church and to some extent politics. So
here we have youth, young men on the
faculty and among the trustees upon
whom to rely. The field does not count.
Martin Luther did not inquire of the
field. There are millions of young peo-
pie who ought to be in school. We
ought to work among these. Five hun
dred students! Why not? The doc
tor then spoke of his warm personal at
tachment for the college. We have
here something to work for. May God
bless Lombard University! The address
was an able one, most pleasantly and
genially given, and was frequently in
terrupted with applause. OF the warmth
of the greeting there could be no doubt.
The following was then sung, the
words being by Professor Phillip G..
Wright.
Lombard. our fathers wrought
Out of their lives and thought,
Thy life and worth.
Faith in Gods fatherhooi,
Faith In mans brotherhood.
Faith in the coming good
Ha lowed thy BIRTH
So now with thankfulness,
Come we thy name to bless,
Flushed with youths wine.
Here friendships holy name,
Here dreams and visions came,
Souls in Promethean fame
Here glowed divine.
Lombard, thy herads we,
Speaking thy victory,
Go forth with might.
Strong in thy mission clear
Dispelling far and near
Darkness and doubt and fear
With God and light

AT the blessed Christmas tide,when
our thoughts turn joyously to the
anniversary which Christendom hon
ors above all events in its history,
and the spirit of the years happiest
time is abroad among us, great sor-
row falls upon our friends in this city
and casts into shadow the observance
of next week. In another place we
give the particulars of Mr.. Swans
sudden departure. The event is one
that touches all our hearts very close
ly. It is very sad and unexpected
bereavement, and removes a friend
and brother whom, to all earthly APP
pearance,'w could hardly spare. 1t
is peculiarly touching that he should
be removed from us at just this
time, when JOY and gladness is the
note of the hour, and when in the
church and home he loved so we'll,
and among the children who regarded
him with such tender affection, the
Christmas preparations were going
forward, in which he, as always, was
to be central and beloved figure.
Christmas in st. Paul's Church this
year, and in many of our homes, will
be a sadly chastened and subdued
anniversary amid the memories of
this touching bereavement.
Such man as James III. Swan is
rare possession of the Christian church,
and when he departs the loss is deep
ly mourned. The greatest consola-
ton that comes at such time is the
blessed memory he leaves b hind
him. 1t is the memory in this case of
a gracious personality; of man Of
rare charm of manner, with posi-
tive genius for religious friendship;
of one in whom the religion of the
Master found constant expression;
who was kind and tender hearted
and loving to all; whose Christianity
embraced all loyal followers of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and who exempli-
fed his Christian profession by
loyal devotion and unstinted service
to the church of his choice, and by
deeds of kindness and charity to all
along Hfe's rugged pathway.
When such man departs he leaves
indeed a blessed memory. 1t is
memory that will strengthen the
church that is bereaved by his loss
Such man as JAMES H. SWAN would
honor any church that held him in
membership. AS Universalists we
can point to him with a pardonable
pride and say, "There is the rich, ripe
fruitage of the personal character,
reared under the nurture and by
the inspiration of Christian Univer-
salism." We can proudly make him
a representative man, who answered
in his life to the noblest requirements
of the Christian religion. But the
present sorrow of his departure clouds
all these consoling considerations.
In his home, with wife and daughter
and grandchildren, sorrow sits an
unlimited guest. There is indeed des-
olation there for the dear presence of
the husband and father will be with
them no more forever. The church
also enters what the devout German
calls the Sanctuary of Sorrow" We
cannot think of st. Paul's Church
without the genial presence of James
H. Swan. He was so intimately asso-
ciated with it in all its departments
that we cannot now measure the ex-
tent of its loss.

NO RIGHT OF DOMAIN.
Important Supreme Court Decision AZ
fectinE Trolley Company Property.


Philadelphia, March 25.-The decision
of the supreme court expressed in the
opinion of Justice Williams in the case
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
against the Montgomery County Rail
way company, appealed from the com
mon pleas court of Montgomery couu-
ty which was delivered this morning,
is an exceedingly important one to troll
ley companies.
The gist of the opinion is that the
street railway act gave no right of
eminent domain, and that as the troll
ley lines are incorporated under that
act they have no power to construct
their road, where the taking of prop
erty is incident or necessary to it, with
out the consent Of the property owner.
The practical effect of the decisions
is to strike down about $50,GOO,O00 of
capital invested in trolley lines over the
state. and it will be necessary for the
projectors of trolley lines. possibly, to
go to the legislature for relief.
