PERSONAL.

Rev.W. s. Goodell, of Michigan, hav
ing removed to Clarendon, Orleans Co,
N. Y, where he becomes pastor of the
Universalist church in that place, re-
quests all correspondents to address him
accordingly.
Mary Grace Garfield is in charge Of
the Literary bureau at the Atlanta Elk
position and will remain during the
month. Visitors are recommended to
visit the booth in the gallery Of the
Liberal Arts building. This enterprise
of the Y. p. G. U. was described in Mr..
McGlaufin's communication last week.
Mary Hartwell Catherwood leads an
ideally quiet life in Hoopeston, Ill. 1t
has taken her less than fifteen years to
build up the reputation she enjoys. Her
first appearance in literature was made
in 1881. She is said to bear marvellous
resem blance. both in appearance and
manner, to Jean Blewett, a Canadian
writer, who occupies about the same
position in the literature of her country
as Mrs .Catherwood does here. The CO.
incidence becomes more remarkable
when it is said that although the two
writer's have never met, each has
daughter nine years old named Pearl.
Mrs. Catherwood is devoted member
of our parish in Hoopestop and worker
in the Sunday school.
The Every Day Church, the parish
organ of DIR. Perin's Boston enterprise,
thus refers to the new Associate Organ
izer," Rev Florence E. Kollock whose
engagement for this branch Of the work
was noted last week: "The friends of
the Everyday Church will rejoice, we
feel sure, in the announcement that the
Rev. Florence E. Kollock, who is spend
ing the winter in Boston. has entered
into temporary arrangement to take
charge of the organizing phases of our
work, under the general name of Associ-
ate Organizer. She enters upon this
work only for seven or eight months, her
plans making it impossible to engage
for longer time, but it seems perhaps
providential that she could be enlisted
even temporarily, for besides being a
woman of attractive and winning per
sonality. she has had an experience in
Chicago that peculiarly fits her for I'M
dertaking such work as this, to cay moth
ing OF somewhat extended observation
in London, in which she had exception
al advantages for studying humanitarian
work. Whether, therefore, outside or
inside our church. among the friends of
our work everywhere, we bespeak for her
cordial welcome and hearty co opera.

We make these remarks to clear the
intellectual atmosphere. For it is
clear to any close observer that much
of the adverse criticism of the record
in our day is due to a "rationalistic"
tendency of thought. 1t begins with
philosophy, with theory of God
and the world, and then proceeds 10
warp the facts to suit the theory.
But if the records represent the
resurrection of Jesus as miraculous,
then confessedly it is exceptional.
Miracles are the exception, not the
law. So much of miracle, therefore,
as there is about the Saviour's resur-
rection, just SO much is exceptional
and not typical. Every considers
ton therefore goes to show that the
resurrection of Jesus was exceptional.
If he had any resurrection worth con-
sidering, it was an exceptional resur-
rection. This being established some
important things follow. In the first
place the notion so prevalent that the
resurrection of mankind in general
must be just like his is without
foundation. 1t is said, for instance
that if Jesus rose, or was re-invested
with his physical body, then all men
must rise in their physical bodies
and go to heaven in them. But if the
resurrection of Jesus was exceptional
then this notion is cut up by the
roots. None but fool would reason
in this way who sees clearly the
exceptionableness of the resurrection
of Jesus. For he would be trying to
make the law like the exception. The
exception proves the rule only mega
lively. 1t shows what the rule is
not; not what it is. So it would be
the most foolish thing imaginable to
attempt to show that the general res
direction is like that of Jesus, when
the latter is confessedly exceptional.
Jesus in his risen state of immortal
ity and higher life is sometimes made
type of the state of the risen dead,
but his resurrection is never made
the type of the general or universal
resurrection. s.. G.

CHURCH OF OUR FATHER, NORTH
CHICAGO.
Injured by Fire. Wednesday Morning,
Dec. 4.

On Tuesday night, December g. or to
be more accurate, Wednesday morning,
about 2 o'clock, the Church of Our
Father, 80 Hall street, in the North di
vision, occupied by our Universalist con-
gregation, was discovered by passing
cabman to be on fire. The alarm was
quickly given and engines were soon at
work and arrested the flames, but not
until the interior had been badly burned
and large portion of the pews and furn-
ishings we're destroyed.
The insurance on the building was
$1,000 and the parish carried an insur-
ance on the furniture of $1,000. This is
sufficient to cover the loss.
The congregation worshiped on Sun
day morning at the house of Mr.. F..
Yott, 1856 Barry avenue. which was
kindly rendered for the occasion. A
meeting was afterward held, and unan
imous and very decided expression was
developed, not to allow this misfortune
to interfere with the work of the parish.
1t was resolved to request the insur-
ance company to repair the building at
once. The property is mortgaged, but
the congregation expect to be able to
reduce the debt. and will have encour-
agement from all parties interested.
The congregation anticipate being in
their own church again at the beginning
of the year. The pastor, Rev. George
Jardine, is active and faithful to parish
interests and looks forward hopefully
to the future Of the church under his
care.
At the meeting on Sunday morning,
an expression of sympathy from Rev. 7.
G. Milsted and his congregation was
presented with an invitation to worship
with them next Sunday. The invitation
was thankfully accepted. 1t is believed
that the parish will soon recover from
the temporary embarrassment and be
prepared for vigorous work the coming
season.

suggestion will be adopted and inter
esting gatherings may be expected. The
plan of uniting the Universalist and
Unitarians with the Independents and
Liberals" of all grades in such meet
ings not having proved acceptable, it re-
mains to be seen what the results of
purely Inder endent association will be.
The new combination will have one de-
cided advantage-it will fly single
flag and be recognized under its true
colors. We hope the Independent ban
ner will float in the breeze regularly
every Monday. Those who speak will
have something to say that will interest
the public.

The Cleveland parish paper, Good
Tidings. has this sensible word to people
who co not attend the church service:
Let US stop worrying about inability
to do our share. there is no such thing,
and think more of doing what we can
do. A short purse is not bar to mem
bership in All Souls Church, neither
does it deny warm welcome to its con-
gregation. If you cannot give penny
to the church, you can give yourself, you
can give your presence at its services.
And do we reflect what that means? Do
we stop to think that the humblest of us
we have nothing else to give, we can
offer the evidence which our hahitual
presence attests of our living interest in
the welfare of the church and the work
it is doing for God and man. And if the
hundreds in this city who call them
selves Universalists would cast their lot
with us, where. it is needless to say, it
by right of duty and conscience ought to
be cast, we would be conquerors in both
spirit and achievement"
The preacher who makes a plain
subject difficult is not worthy of his
salt, says Christian Life, London, the
organ of the Unitarians. But the preach
or who makes difficult subject plain is
worthy of universal attention. We have
an illustration of the latter in the follow
ing paragraph:-The Incarnation" re.
marked the Rev. DIR, Horton recently,
sis not more mysterious than our own
birth. There is just as much mystery in
the fact that you are listening to me, as
in the fact that the Son of God became
flesh" The fact is, there is no mystery
here, without we have made up our
minds to make everything into mYs
terry.
Faith does not "wait for something
to turn up" it uses the strength God
gives as a means for turning something
up.

There is one admirable thing, remarks
the Boston Transcript, about all sthe
Christian Scientists, mental healers and
promulgators OF what some of them call
land sincerely believe to be) new
philosophy. 1t is that truth itself, be-
ing perennially young, every class of
mind in every age of the world can have
the pleasure of personal, original, indi-
uidual contact with these everlasting
principles. Very naturally many per-
sons think they have discovered un-
known principles. Sometimes they
erect church buildings with their own
names on them and in other ways get in
their own light. But no man or woman
of them all says anything that may not
be found in the oldest philosophers of
the Orient and in the teachings of the
founder of Christianity.

The Constitution of the United states.

Harper's Young People.
The original constitution of the United
states was written upon a long roll. that
was afterward cut up and put under glass
in i've oak frames two inches deep, and
fourteen by nineteen inches in size. In
four OF these frames are parchment sheets,
easily filling the space, on which are writ
ten the constitution of the United States.
In the fifth frame are the signatures, and
the resolution submitting ~ document to
the states for ratification. This is the
original OF our national constituton-the
only constitution our republic ever had.
Most states of the Union have had from
two TO half a dozen constitutions, and the
Empire state has recently changed its
constitution again.
The lines of the original constitution Of
the United States run across the sheet.
and the penmanship is very coarse The
preamble, which so many of you can re-
peat, is separated from the text by mar
row space. and there is no attempt at
fancy lettering in the opening words. as
there is in the articles OF confederation.
Many OF the signatures are the same as
are found at the bottom of the Declaration
Of Independence. The amendments, even
the very first one, do not form part OF this
original, but are written upon separate
rolls of parchment, and preserved in tin
tubes that stand in a corner Of closet.
The number of these tubes is greatly in
creased by those that contain the official
Publications by the states. The earlier CT
these notifications includes approval of he
constitution and OF earlier anendmeDtS.
Later amendments, such as the celebrated
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, adopted at later
dates. required separate ratificauons, ana
separate tubes.
