quite certain that it is justified by the

THE RlDGEVILLE SEMI=CENTEN-
NAL.

BY special invitation, wife and |
visited the old friends of our younger
years at Ridgeville and vicinity. Fifty
years ago the kidgevilIe church was or
ganized and an edifce erected which
with some remodelings they have occu-
pied to the present time. AS the semi
centennial approached they wisely re-
solved to hold service wherein the
Older ones might meet and exchange
congratulations. which, in some respect,
might impress upon the younger ones
what it cost to be Universalist fifty
years ago.
The weather was delightful and the
friends wisely resolved to hold the meet.
ings in beautiful grove near by. AS
the writer was the oldest ex-pastor liv-
ing it was decided to put him to the
front. At the early hour the services
began by a brief history of Universalism
in the old and new world and closed
with an exposition of Universalsm as
held by the fathers in this country and
the children at the present time. Then
came the feast of body prepared by the
ladies who know how to do such things.
After an hour and half of eating and
social chat. Bro. Riley, son of one of
the founders, gave brief history of the
Ridgeville church. Prof. w. III. Venable,
who was received into the membership
of the church by the writer in 1858, gave
the audience some "reminiscences of his
earlier days. which we're both instruc-
tive and entertaining. Rev. Mrs. Lolita
d. Crosley then gave very fine and
convincing sermon on Universaism.
Another sermon at night in the church
closed the meetings in which a large
congregation had participated. A hap
pier set of people seldom meet-every
body seemed to say, it is good to be here.
While most of those participating in
the organization have laid off the mortal,
memories were recalled which must
have stimulated the younger ones TO
buckle on the armor and work for the
cause so that the fifty years upon which
they have now entered will bring them
day by day nearer home than they have
ever been before. w. S. BACON.

mans love for God. How can man
love naturally at all if he does not
love his own Father? Who can pos
sibly have claim on his love if the
divine Father has not? To refuse
such claim is not only unnatural
and unreasonable, but immoral as
we'll.
Man should love his fellow men,
because thew are Gods children and
his own brethren. They have the
same origin, the same nature and
shall have the same destiny, united
in a common divine paternity. Being
one in the possession of common
personal, spiritual and moral nature,
they should be united in the bonds
of common brotherhood of affection,
sympathy and helpfulness. They
should keep the unity of the spirit in
the bonds of peace. They should
see eye to eye and face to face,-live
in concord and work in harmony.
This is the teaching of ethical Uni
versalism.

salvation on this truth, for that would

salvation on this truth, for that would
be the ism. So we might preach
Christ as universal saviour but we
could not therefore contend for uni
versal salvation.
We could proclaim the universally
of sin, but could teach nothing con-
corning the nature, origin or destiny
of sin.
We could teach the universally of
retribution, but not word about the
nature, object or end of retribution.
We might affirm the universally of
repentance, but we could not say
word about the nature, necessity or
certainty of repentance. Forgiveness,
too, might be taught as a universal
disposition of God, but not as a uni
versal experience of man; while
about universal salvation we could
say never a word, for that is of the
very heart of the 'ism." This because
to teach anything concerning these
TRUTHS anything resulting there
from, and necessitated thereby, is to
teach doctrine or theory of the uni
versals, which is to fall right into the
slough of the isn,,-the very thing
that is forbidden. What a thing
Universalism would be without the
ism! What useless string of af-
firmations! 1t would be string of
fish without any fish. 1t would be
the play Of Hamlet with Hamlet left
out. 1t would be another case of the
Swallow holes after the bank is
taken away" If there is anything
that is perfect inanity, purely sense
less vaporing, it is this cry for Univer-
salism with the 'ism" left out. S. c.

in his economy there will be no frag-
ments lost. The doctrine embodied by
Mr.. Meyers is beautiful and cheering
truth and gives hope for all Gods

we are pleased to know that an evangel-

dication of the drift of the new evapge-
lism, which has largely taken the place
of the hopeless doctrine taught by the
old revivalism.
The despatch of Secretary Olney to
Sir Julian Pauncefote, British Ambas
sador. referred to in the House of Com
mons debate last week. is considered
by many the most important document
in the arbitration correspondence be-
tween this country and Great Britain.
The despatch was devoted to discus
sion of proposals submitted by Lord
Salisbury for the settlement of the Ven
ezuelan boundary dispute-that a COM
mission of four persons be appointed by
the two Governments to ascertain GER
tain facts, and upon the basis of those
facts draw boundary line, (which, how
ever. is in no case to encroach upon the
bona fde settlements of either party"
Secretary Olney pointed out the improb-
ability of such commission determin
ing anything definite by which the res
pective Governments should be bound.
and further, the difficulty OF reconciling
the claims regarding "bona -fde settle
ments." The despatch concludes with
counter proposals, which Mr.. Balfour
said were regarded by the Foreign OF
fee as opening the way for an amicable
settlement of the difficulty"

1t our correspondent needs further
light on the salvation" that comes
as a consequence of obedience to the
direction of the Gospel, without
reference to this particular case, he
may, as we intimated in a former ar
ticle, while understanding the origi-
nal and primary reference of these
New Testament passages, find
parallel meaning in the spiritual
view which we may attach to them.
Say, then, that the sacred writer's had
in view the doctrine and precepts
concerning salvation in its gen.
eral sen e, or TIE principles included
in the Gospel designed to promote
righteousness. We know what the
result would be in the case of the
obedient disciple.
He would be saved from sin and
its evil consequences; he would be-
come an obedient child of God and
rejoice in the safety and blessing of
his personal salvation. Such an one
would escape" all the sufferings
which invariably follow course of
wickedness. Though no one can
avoid the punishment that his sins
have actually deserved, yet by being
mindful of the requirements of the
Gospel and obedient to its precepts
he would cease to deserve punish
ment and therefore avoid suffering
for it. And in regard to those who
pursue the opposite course, who do
despite to the claims of justice, and
evoke upon themselves it's righteous
demands, it may well be asked, and
not with reference to future beyond
the grave, "How can they escape who
neglect or ignore this great saliva
tion?" The facts that were brought
to view by the apostle, afford demon
stration strong as holy writ" that
there is no way to escape. ''The
word spoken by angels was ste adfast
and every transgression and disobe-
dience receive just recompense
or reward" And the same course of
divine administration, as the apostle
justly argues, which had been OBJ
served in previous ages, would be
observed in all coming time; and
hence the certainty and immutable
order of the divine administration,
that any and every man who neglects
the admonitions of wisdom must ex-
pect-as he certainly will be obliged
in fact-to reap the unhappy rewards
of his folly.
Thus in answer to the request
of our correspondent we renewedly
outline the primary significance of
these New Testament passages and
show wherein the salvation" con-
sists and what will result to the indi-
vidual believer who accepts and lives
by the requirements of the Gospel.
1t will be seen that we recognize no
way of escape" from the penalties of
violated law; that consequences of
the most serious nature will follow
all who set at naught the direct teach
ings of the Gospel; that now as in
the olden time, the privileges and
opportunities of the Gospel cannot
be ignored, or be lightly set aside,
without personal loss and suffering.
This is the plain teaching of the
Scriptures emphasized in human ex-
perience, and made painfully elo-
quent in the teachings of history
The injunctions of the sacred writer's
in reference to the coming desolations
of ancient Judea only embody the
principle and illustrate it for the
benefit of the coming Christian gen
erations.

THE Rev. B. f. Myers,
q Lesson from of London, is now
jeremiah. holding a series of
services of the evangelistic order at the
Moody church in this city and preach
ing some interesting sermons. On Mon
day evening his text was Jeremiah
XVIII. 4. 1.-The vessel that he made of
CLAW was marred in the hands of the
potter, so he made it again as it seemed
good to the potter" The evangelist told
the familiar story of Jeremiah being
directed by God to witness the work of
the potter, by the brook Kedron, molding
the clay according to his ideai into
vessel of artistic shape. When the pot
ter's task was nearly completed and the
ideal image almost realized, it was mar
red in the hands of the workman and
fell. Failure and disappointment result
ed. Then the potter began again and
wrought a perfect work. Here is the
application by the preacher of this old
biblical incident;
mo OcIoLlldh OApOStON " 500
the potter take fresh lump of clay, but
instead he picked up the scattered frag-
ments, placed them upon the wheel and
nodded perfect vessel. Then the in
spiration came to jeremiah. Why could
God not do SO with the fragments of
Israel? Why could he not take these
broken lives and make something beau
tiful?
"As the potter did with his clay, SO
God can and does do now. He has an
ideal, pattern, Jesus Christ. He molds
men after this. They have imperfec-
tions, they rebel and for time the plan
is thwarted. But God takes up these
fragments and again molds men into
perfect creations"
This is sound evangelical doctrine. 1t
is Universalism in spirit and statement.
Does the preacher believe it? II so, he
ia a Universalist. God is continually
molding men after the ideal pattern of
Jesus Christ. and his ultimate design of
a perfect creation will in due time be
realized. He permits no failure and is
never thwarted in his final design. Out
of the broken lives of earth he makes
beautiful creations for Immortality, and

that it is purely domestic affair in

important interest. AS Europe views
the affair. the Sultan can do as he pleases

port movement of domestic wool TO Eng
land and Belgium has been a noticeable
incident of the week
The sales at Boston for the week were
