The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-03-09
A NOBLE LIBRARY.

A detailed account of all the books
prohibited by the Church would show
beyond question that Rome is at war
with the human mind, and that her
triumph would be the downfall of liter
allure and the prostration of science, and
would involve the world in thick dark
ness. Illustrious names are forbidden
at Rome which Europe will not willingly
let die. Her Index puts Rome in direct
antagonism with the great lights of the
civilized world. Among its condemned
authors we find the names most dis
tinguished in the several departments of
knowledge. Not only in theology, but
in the sciences, Rome here acknowledges
by her own lips, that the first men are
her adversaries. In general scholarship,
the writings Of the following men are
prohibited: Scaliger, Savonarola,
Fleury, Selden, Stephens. Scapula. OF
eminent historians there stands in the
Index. branded as heretical and false,
Guicciardini, Hallam, Burnet, Robert
son, Hume, Sismondi, Goldsmith, Mos
helm. and others. Among the philoso-
pliers prescribed are Bacon, Bentham,
Pascal, Malebranche. Ocean, Puffendorf,
Leibnitz. Descartes, Condorcet, Hobbies,
Fontenella. Hume, Locke, Kant. De-
tenders of Christianity have their rep.
resentatives in the Index in the persons
of Grotius, Addison, and Soame Jenyns.
Newton leads the astronomers. Swift
and Steele are among the martyrs OF
light literature; and the poets suffer in
the persons of Dante, Boccacio. La Fop-
tame, and Milton; while the wise and
holy men of the Congregation have
found heretical pravity in such grave
writer's as Baronius, Basnage, and Bull.
A noble library would that be which
should use as its catalogue the Index
Expurgatorius of Rome.

The special work of the w. G. A. is to
promote the growth of the Universalist
Church on missionary lines. This in
cludes educational and charitable work
from religious standpoint.
1t is not possible for the Ladies' Aids
to do all this and raise funds for current
expenses by church fairs, suppers and
entertainments. and also look after the
social affairs of the parish.
The Mission Circle has definite OBJ
ject of being as essential to church life
and growth as the Ladies' Aid. Their
lines of work do not conflict. for the
Circle devotes itself to the missionary
idea. and to cultivating this, to us. com
paratively new field.
Each Circle must eventually deter
mine for itself which of these lines of
work its members can best enter upon,
knowing its own environment better
than another. This circular is merely
designed to assist you, and offers sug-
gestions which each State or Mission
Circle President has full liberty to add
TO as she sees that there is room for still
another thing to be done. always keep
ing in view the missionary idea. Ones

grand work. They expose our cor
ruption and danger. They give much
uncomfortable medicine and Williams
have no lovers kisses for them. But
the malady is higher up. The foun-
tain head of the sin is way beyond.
We might as well send holy lot of
old ladies with tin dishes down south
to bail the Mississippi into the Gulf
OF Mexico, as to expect to cure our
political ills that way. AS fast as we
capture one rogue, twenty more are
ready to take his place, and the mis-
chief flows on like mighty torrent.
The muddy fountain of all our civil
pandemonium is the primaries, the
seats of nominations, and the ballot
box later on.
Now while the nation sinks deeper
and deeper in despair-when our judi
ciary and executors are more and
more rotten-when blood is shed and
life is taken oftener and oftener-
when worse and worse men are put in
Office, and more and more of them
when property and life are more and
more at hazard, when venality and the
love of gold has corrupted all the
seats of power and trust-when finan-
cial congestion in the few, saps and
sucks the blood of the many more
and more-and when we have no
remedy under Gods sumo blood
less, peaceful remedy, but the Ameri-
can ballot-then are men doing right
to let the ship sink? There are times
when apathy is crime. There are
times when inaction is murder. There
are times when silence is treason.
There are times when not to do is
conspiracy, times when the deserter
should be shot, not as coward mere
ly, but as coward and william who
betrays innocent blood.
Therefore, men and brethren, who
soever is manly among you-whoso-
ever is just, is patriotic-whosoeve is
lover of his race-whosoever dare
glory in this nation and loves liberty
and purity whosoever loves order
and hates anarchy-whosoever loves
the grand old flag of the American
Republic! let him fulfill the first
primary duty of an American citizen,
not now to shoulder his musket, but,
to handle the ballot As man and
patriot, Render unto Caesar the
things which are Caesars" Then,
then alone, will thy lips be pure
enough to sing.
my country, tits of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee singl"

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SIN.

| know there are men who think
we sinned in Adam,-that we were in
him as the oak is in the acorn,-and
that when he sinned we sinned.
There are others who say we were
represented by Adam; he was our
federal head; he sinned for us as
Congress sometimes sins for us.
Others say he sinned individually,
and the stream of his sin has flowed
down from him ever since through
all subsequent generations. But the
effect of these various theories is the
same. 1t is to get rid of the respon-
sibility of my own sin; it is to pass it
off ON to Adam. No; that you can
not do. There is not one of us here
today who would not be very glad to
get rid Of the responsibility of his own
personal, individual transgressions
and take all the responsibility o.
Adams personal, individual trans
erosion; not man who has not
done worse than eat an apple when
he was told that he must not. We
cannot throw the responsibility of
our transgressions back on our ances-
tors. Sin is personal; sin is individ-
ual; it is here; it is now; it is sin to-
day and yesterday and last week; it
is the sin of the animal that is in you
and in me, conquering the higher
nature that is in you and in me which
ought to conquer; and, by the grace
of God, can conquer.
So, l want to say one other word:
that as the responsibility of this sin
is something we cannot escape, so
the degradation of this sin is some
thing unspeakable. Oh, if we could
but realize what it is that is dragging
us down! If we could but realize
that in us are the remains of the pea
cock, the ape, the tiger, the serpent,
and the hog! If we could but realize
that these depths out of which we
have been dug are still readable by
us! If we could but realize that every
indulgence in appetite against the
higher judgment and the conscience
is going down into the swine, and
every sinuous track and every false
hood and lie in society or business is
going back to the serpent! If we
only realized that these things are in
us and are drawing us down, what a
different thing sin would seem to us
from what it does seem today Look
out on these mobs of which you have
been reading in your papers all this
last week. See what self will, and
passion and hate can be and are
when they utter themselves in visi-
BILE, tangible, gross forms. Can you
see it and not hide your head in your
hands and your face in your pillow,
and cry to God to be merciful to me,
a sinner' Can you see it and not see
in yourself some touch of the same
will; something of that same feverish
passion in your own conduct to your
neighbor; something of that same
hate which you know how to hide
and conceal because you are gentle
man; something of that same wrath
and bitterness which they know not
how to conceal, but show forth in
stone and in fist? Oh, if we did

they are chiefly valuable in war as af.

At the time of the Armada and until

the position of ships at night at sea.
Authentic intelligence from Hawaii
contradicts, as we were sure that it
would, the sensational falsehoods con-
corning the torture of suspects and the
severity of punishment to be inflicted
upon persons convicted of treason
against the republic. Not one has as
yet undergone the extreme penalty of
the law, and it is doubtful if any will
suffer death. Fines, Imprisonment, and
Punishment are likely to be the meas.

officers of the republic to severity that
they fain would avoid.

pressed her admiration for the evidences
OF intellect which she found there, and
even detected the smile that parts the
lips of the dead poet. A bust of Napoleon
Bonaparte was then given to her. After
passing her hands over it she recognized
the features of the great warrior, and
remarked that she supposed the bust
must have been done during the Emper-
ors years of victorious conquest, for the
expression was less anxious than in the
bust of Napoleon which she had seen a
day or two before!
The New York Sun calls for the cree
ton in New York of worthy statue to
our great novelist James Fenimore
Cooper, now dead forty-four years. The
Sun says: I'VE recalled in the Sun the
other day remark about him which
Thackeray once made to US, and we fully
agree with the author of The History
of Pendennis that the author of The
Last of the Mohicans' deserves higher
place in the realm of fiction than the
author of 'Waverley.' Yet Scott has a
monument in Edinburgh far grander
than any ever eI ected to any other au-
thor. The truer to nature and life the
statue of Cooper the more attractive it
would be. He was noble specimen of

Playing Cards.

Playing Cards.
Those who believe that there is
nothing new under the snn," may
credit the assertion that playing cards
were known among the Chinese, the
Hindoos, the Arabs and the Romans
long ago, but the only known fact is
that they were brought out in the
fourteenth century by Jacques Grigon-
neur, French painter residing in
Paris. 1t is said that they were made
for the amusement of the crazy King
Charles vi. The four kings we're
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles;
the four queens, Angine, Esther,
Judith and Pallas; the four knaves or
knights, Ogier the Dane, Lancelot,
La Hire and Hector de Garland.
Cards seem originally to have been to
England direct from Spain, having
probably been introduced into that
country by the Moors; the clubs. in
Spanish cards, not being trefoils as with
us, but cudgels-that is, bastos-the
spades or swords, espades. A fine
article of playing cards is issued by
the passenger department of the
