DEATH OF DR.. w. e. MANLEY.

REV. w. E. MANLEY, DID,, of Denver,
Colo, died in that city on September
%, at the age of 81. He was veteran
among the veterans and in his day and
generation wrought splendid work for
the Universalist Church. He entered our
ministry in the State of New York at
an early age, but was not ordained until
he had preached some ten years. He
occupied various pastorates in that
State with honor to himself and the de-
nomination. In 1843 he removed from
Nunda, N. Y, and settled in Chicago,
becoming in that year the first pastor of
st. Paul's Church, then in the infancy
of its existence. He afterwards became
one of the editors of the New Covenant,
the predecessor, with the Star in the
West, of The UNIvERsALIsT.
DR.. Manley was an industrious writer
on theological topics and widely known
as contributor to the religious press
of the denomination. He was scholar
of excellent requirements, we'll versed
in the Hebrew and Greek of the Script
ures. His biblical Review" in five vol
umes, commentary on the Old Tesla
ment, after plan devised by himself.
is a monumental work and deserved
wider patronage than it has thus far
received. 1t was the intention OF the
author to continue his labors in this
field, extending bis commentary to the
New Testament, but the plan was never
carried out owing to the expense OF pub
location and his advancing years.
For the last seventeen years DIR. Man.
ley has lived with his daughter in Den
YER, and the church at large will be
pleased to know that everything was
done for his comfort in his old age. His
pastor, Rev. r. E. Sykes, writes that he
retained his interest in the church to
the last and when able, was always
present at the Sunday service. We
copy below the notice of his death in the
Denver Republican of September %,
which has only just reached US. We
shall avail ourselves of the earliest OPP
portunity to place before our readers
a more extended and particular account
of DR.. Manley's active and always in
dustrious career:

"One of the early founders of the Uni
versalist Church and one of the staunch-
est upholders of the tenets of that re-
ligious sect ceased his earthly labors
yesterday, September %. The death of
W. E. Manley, DID,, yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John L. Daley, No. 425 Broad
way, at the age of "a years, will attract
the attention of members of the Univer-
salist Church throughout the entire
country for to them DR.. Manley was
patriarch, historian of the church,
great thinker and profound expounder
of the faith. For nearly seventeen years
DIR. Manley lived in Denver, employing
his entire time in study and in writing
upon theological subjects, and in his
later years he seemed to be as enthusi
astic in his faith as he was in more Wig
orous years when he had to battle
against the clergy of other denomina-
tions in defense of his beliefs. During
the past three or four years several
articles from his pen have appeared in
The Arena, always upon UNCONVENTIONAL
subjects, and almost to the final decay
of physi cal and mental powers and his
taking off. after living far beyond the al
loted span of life, he was extremely busy
with his pen.
"Dr. Manley leaves vouminous auto
biography in manuscript and several
unpublished volumes of the Biblical
Review" five volumes of which work
we're published some years ago. This
was his life work, the exposition of the
Bible according to Universalist stan
dards. The published volumes cover
the Old Testament.
"This theologian was born of strongly
religious parents near Norwalk, Conn.
in 1872. As boy he was considered to
be the brightest member of large fam
lily and his parents decided to educate
him for the Presbyterian ministry. The
young man had strong reasons why he
should oppose the Presbyterian faith
with all its terrible views held in those
early days, and he forthwith entered up.
on close study of the Bible in order to
evolve for himself kindlier faith. After
several years he blossomed out Uni
versalist. to the disgrace Of his relatives
and friends. An uncle of his, a Presby.
terian minister, determined to win
the erring young student back to the
true faith, and for that purpose took up
his residence with the young man for a
whole year. That was great year of
religious debating, the young man pitted
against his elder uncle, and both stub
born religious students. Young Manley
won, and in 80 doing converted his Pres
byterian uncle to the Universalist faith.
besides his other labors DR.. Marley
was great linguist, pursuing his re-
searches into works written in Hebrew,
Greek and Latin. He even found time
to write some poetry and hymns. His
was busy life and one devoted to a
single purpose. from which he never
swerved"

MOrbidness in Christian Life
Cumberland Presbyterian.)

There is far too much of morbidness
in Christian life and thought. Men of
ten brood over trivialities till they be-
come magnified into threatening evils,
and ponder supposed injuries till they
seem metamorphosed into cruel wrongs.
Is it right thus to give sway to our
thoughts? Ruskin says truly, ut is
only by labor that thought can be made

TYPOGRAPHICAL ACCURACY.

The difficulty of insuring typograph-
ical accuracy in a book is illustrated
in the following story, which has been
going the rounds of the press. A
publisher once made up his mind to
publish a book that should have no
typographical errors whatever. He
had his proofs corrected by his own
proofreaders, until they sll assured
him that there were no longer any
errors in the text. Then he sent
proofs to the universities and to other
publishing houses, offering q prize of
several pounds sterling in cash for
every typographical mistake that
could be found. Hundreds of proofs
were sent out in this way, and many
skilled proofreaders examined the
pages in the hope of earning a prize.
A few errors were discovered.
Then, all the proof sheets having
been heard from, the publisher felt
assured that his book would appear
before the public an absolutely perfect
piece of composition. He had the
plates cast, the edition printed and
bound between expensive covers
because, as specimen of the printers
art, it was, Of course, unique in
literature and exceedingly valuable to
bibliophiles. The edition sold well,
and was spread all over the country.
The publisher was very much pleased
with himself for having done something
that had hitherto been considered an
impossibility. Then his pride had
fall, for, six or eight months later, he
received letter calling his attention
to an error in a certain line on a
certain page. Then came another
letter announcing the discovery of a
second error in this perfect book. Be-
fore the year was up four or five mis-
takes were found.

A SEVERE INITIATION.
Frank A Prebe Says he Was Branded
With a Red-Hot Iron in Joining an
Orangemen's Lodge.

Boston, Dec 2.-The Waltham brand
ing case, in which the officers of an Or
angemen's lodge are charged with an as
sault upon "a candidate for admittance
to the lodge, was on trial before Judge
Hardy in the Middlesex Superior Criminal
Court al Cambridge yesterday.
Frank A. Preble was the complainant,
and John G. Graham, George t. Nicker-
son, Edward O'Neill, Daniel Tracey and
Leander Weatherbee were the defend
ants. The case developed several sensa-
tional features.
Preble's recital Of the manner Of inita-
ton was graphic. lie and Edward Arch
decided to join the Orangemen, he said.
and they were notified to appear for ini-
tiation one evening last July. Arch went
in first, and afterward he himself entered
private ante-room off the main hall
He was accompanied by Tracey and an
Orangeman named Mabcy, who were his
guides, and was told that he must dis.
robe, lie did SO and, wearing only under
clothes and shoes entered the main hall.
At the door he was compelled to lneel
and say the Lords prayer during the reel
tai Of which his shoes were taken off. He
was blindfoldcd and marched around the
room in a circle His drawers had been
rolled up to his knees, leaving his legs
and feet bare and during the walk around
the hall he was continually felt the stings
of what he thought was a whip on his
bare legs He testified that a bag of
stones, weighing forty pounds was then
put on his shoulders, and that he was pull
ed to the floor, while some one sat on him
and jabbed him with pins or an ice-pick.'
He was not quite sure which it was, but
he thought that it was pins.
Preble then was made to go up a step
ladder. From this he fell into a sheet
and he was tossed into the air several
times. He crawled out Of the sheet and
stood in front OF the altar, and Graham
read something to him, but he did not
know what il was. as he was rather dazed
by the lively initiation.
Then two men held him and red-hot
iron was brought up against his breast,
lie struggled to get away but the two
men held him while he was branded
Then some one said: Hold UP your hands
and see if you can find a serpent" and
the imitation was over. Preble said he
was severely burned and injured.
On cross-examination PrebIe admit
ted that he had agreed not to
tell what was done to him, but
that was before he was branded
or tossed in blanket, and this
was more than he had bargained for. He
said he belonged to the Red Men, Pilgrim
Fathers and the A. F. A., but these or
CARNATIONS did not have such a severe
initiation as did the Orangemen.
Arthur S. Allen was the only witness
ha rol 4
he said, and when he endeavored to collect
it, Preble told him that he expected to
have some money as the result Of a suit
he was going to bring against some Or
angemen for abusing HIM.
The jury, after being out three hours,
failed to agree, and We're discharged 1t
is regarded as doubtful if the case will
be tried again

Notwithstanding frosts that threaten and
and the winds that whistle drear,
There's certain thrill OF pleasure IN
the present time of year
A indicative satisfaction which illuml-
mates the hour,
And brings us resignation as we view the
withered flower.
IT'S the quiet exultation that the foot
bah player feels
Whose ills are slight compared to those
the enemy reveals,
So we shun the melancholy which the
leaness boughs disclose,
And we hail the days of autumn, when

froze.
IT'S sad to see the flowers fade as they
are wont to do
We'd like TO keep them working night
and day the whole year through;
We miss the artless songsters who made
merry in the tree;
We long for the companionship Of butter
fly and bee.
But. in spite Of all our losses, there's a
bracing sense of joy
In our knowledge of our triumph over
creatures that annoy;
And we VOW that there is nothing, as we
settle for a doze,
