THE IDEAL RECORD BOOK.

In very short time the New Year
will begin. Are you ready for it in your
Sunday school? Are you prepared to
keep correct record Of your school? The
Ideal Sunday School Secretary's Report
book will help you more than you ever
imagine. Hear what Methodist who
has seen it says: "Our minister and our
Secretary both compliment Mr.. Grier
very highly on getting up such COM
plete book for Sunday school work. They
both say it is the most complete thing
they have ever seen and wish him great
success in disposing Of lots of them.
They will speak of it and recommend it
wherever they can. They had just
bought book for this purpose only two
weeks before. They have abandoned
that and commenced with this book last
Sunday morning.
Price 81 90; express 10 cents. For sale

ings of the lectures for the general good.
The heads of all sociological institu-
tions and movements, and officers of the
various labor organizations and trades
unions will be furnished with limited
number of tickets. DIR. Ryder's founda-
ton, however, provides for the publica-
ton of these lectures and their free dis
tribution.
DR.. Garfield, President of the Board Of
Trust which has the management of the
bequest, announced the Inauguration OF
the Lectureship on Monday of this week
and said:
1.-THE public may be inclined to believe
that we have been slow in the Inaugural
ton of the lectureship, but will see from
the investment we have made of the fund
that the accumulation of interest was
necessarily slow, but unquestionably
safe. With the amounts that will accrue
in future years added to that which will
not be used this year, it is cafe to say
that these lectures will be an annual
event. The amount of money on hand
naturally limits us in the scope of the
lectureship. as far as actual attendance
is concerned, but there will be published
an edition reporting in full the entire
course, which will be freely distributed
where they will do the most good"

sinews and skin, and behold they
live and breathe. So too, the parable
of the trees as related by lothian the
king in Judges: "The trees went
forth to anoint king over them" and
the trees said one after another,
"Come thou and reign over u.s."
How life like the parable of the
rich man and Lazarus as applied by
Jesus to illustrate the relation of the
Jews and Gentiles to the kingdom OF
God. So, too, we remark the extrava-
gance of the Orientals in the use, SO
constantly, of the metaphors inserted
in the language of Jesus to the apos-
ties: II am the vine" Il am the living
bread" II am the door" of the sheep
fold; the eucharistic bread, his
"body," and the wine, his "blood."
The apostle calls sin taskmaster,
Romans vi. %, who pays wages to his
workmen, and as he tells rs, "the
wages of sin is DEATH" This is a re-
markably bold metaphor, of the true
Oriental type. The Old Testament
calls God monarch who has the
sterness of the Asiatic despot, while
the New Testament calls him "a con-
suming fire." both partaking of Orien-
til extravaganza. The Bible is full
of such figures, obviously violating
plain, matter of fact statements. yet
expressing great and important
truths.
Now it will not do to interpret these
figures in strict accordance with
grammatical rules or the laws of rhet-
oric, as we would interpret plain,
unadorned statements of abstract or
philosophical principles. Such Ian
guage is not to be taken literally. If
we do thus apply it we use "the letter
that killeth" and not "the spirit that
giveth life." We certainly shall fall
into egregious blunders. Yet some
commentators and readers of the
Bible do this. They have only" the dry,
prosaic" spirit and cannot or do not
enter into the poetical spirit of the
write 8 of the Bible. Hence the
theological difficulties" which they
encounter. A logical frame of mind
is not enough, "a consecrated taste"
is essential. We shall do we'll to heed
this in our attempts to understand
writings that are SO highly fgurative
and abound in extravaganza metaphors
and bold hyperboles. isl.

OUR JAPAN MISSION.

In answer to numerous inquiries, /
desire to make brief statement as to
the progress Of the canvass in behalf of
our japan Mission, and to supplement
such statement with another earnest
word of appeal
The canvass has been attended by a
considerable measure of success. Uni
versalist churches, having pastors, are
for the most part already registered as
having made offerings to the mission
fund for 1896. There was a quite gen.
eral response to the request that the
Japan interest should be presented on
All Souls Sunday, and contributions
sought. In some localities where it was
not practicable or convenient to present
the matter on the date named, the sub
ject has since been considered, and in
not few instances gratifying responses
obtained. Individual members of the
church in different portions of the coun-
try have sent in contributions, thus in
suring results which are of an encour-
aging character.
The sum now assured is about 81 900,
and it is confidently expected that the
entire amount of $4,000 will be obtained
within comparatively brief period.
1t is my intention to print in our de.
nominational papers, at an early date,
a full exhibit of the contributions and
pledges received. The list will be ar
ranged to show these offerings as they
stand to the credit OF parishes in the
different States.
My word of present appeal is, that
pastors and people-all who are inter
ested in the Japan movement and who
would support the Universalist mission
aries now in the field should contribute
without delay if they have not already
made an offering.
With these augmented gifts. shall
be able to make a gratifying report of
the results of the canvass at an early
day; and we shall together rejoice in the
figures that are shown. giving the aesur-
ance that the work will be carried for
ward during the ensuing year according
to the plans already approved.

THE NORFOLK MISSION.
RI, Dec. Il. 1895.

This is at once recognized as the
Mission in charge of Rev. Joseph Jor-
dan. who was introduced to our people
at the Washington Convention two years
ago. A recent communication from him
says:
Our school and Young Peoples Union
as we'll as our regular services in Nor
folk are we'll attended. We have quite
number of strangers every Sunday
night at our preaching services. We
have both white and colored people.
We have from twenty five to thirty and
sometimes thirty -five young people at
our Union meetings on Sunday nights.
They meet at half-past six. and cloee at
half-past seven o'clock. Then our reg
ular service begins, and we hold it until
half-past eight or nine o'clock. Our
day school is overrun; and we have to
turn some off to have seating room for
others.
"In Suffolk our school is going on
quite well indeed. We have about
twenty five children in regular attend
ance. We have also Young Peoples
Christian Union there"
The General Convention appeals TO
the sympathies of the faithful for means
to sustain this useful mission. G D.

While residing in the West division of

While residing in the West division Of
the city. in 1861, he responded to Lin
coins call for volunteers, becoming the
Lieutenant of his company. Twenty
two members of the Church of the Re-
deemer followed him to the field. He
returned two years later on account Of
i'll health, and resumed business life with
his old partner, Charles B. White. The
late Amos G. Throop, then connected
with the Church of the Redeemer. and
Mr.. Swan were like twin brothers in
their affection for each other; and for
Rev. j. H. futile, his old West Side
pastor, he cherished very tender feelings
and recollections. 1t is sadly pleasant
to know that DIR. Tuttle will be present
to assist in the funeral rites over his
dear friend.
The funeral will be held in st. Paul's
Church, Thirtieth street and Prairie
avenue, Tuesday afternoon at o'clock.
The interment will be at Oakwoods.
where only Monday of last week Mr..
Swan selected lot for the last resting
place of himself and family-an incident
suggesting wildly premonition Of the
event which has now come with such
startling suddeness.
Charles B. White, his former partner,
said on Sunday evening: James II.
Swan was one of natures noblemen
whom I will always cherish in kind re-
membrance after twenty-five years as
sociation with him in business. He was
honest, generous and an ideal gentle
man. His death is loss to Chicago"
Rev. DIR. Garfield, pastor of st. Paul's
Church. remarked to reporter of the
Inter Ocean: "Mr. Swan was one of the
most popular members of my congrega
ton. He was true Christian and we
all loved him. He was the best all-around
layman l ever knew. He could preach as
we'll as pray, and his Christianity was
not theoretic. He lived along the lines
of true religious teachings, such as
Christ established. He will be missed
and mourned by community"
