THE DEVILS ADVOCATE.

The Journal and Messenger, the
Baptist newspaper of Cincinnati, ac-
cepts with an unexpected degree Of
complacency, the title of DEVILS Ad-
vocate which The UNIvERsALIsT re-
Gently conferred upon it, in recogni-
ton of its zeal in behalf of the satan
ic teaching that God is not the uni
versal Father and that the devil IS the
father of the unsancti6ed members of
the human family. 1t remarks that
it is willing to be called Devils Ad-
vocate if it can prevent the growth
of an error more seductive and des-
tructive than any in vogue at the pres
ent time"
Our contemporary may rest assured
that its willingness to serve his Satan
ic Majesty s interest in this matter and
to stand as his representative, will not
avail in the direction specified. The
blessed truth of the divine Father
hood-God regnant in love over all
his children-the Father, infinitely
fatherly, now and forever-wilI stand
despite all that the Devils Advocate
can say against it. The Journal and
Messenger is engaged in the most
ignoble work that can employ human
energy-the effort to rob the Divine
Father of the vast majority of his hui
man family by ascribing their parent
age to the Evil One.
1t is an offense against God to thus
attempt to sunder his family and
remand his children as bastards OF
the devil. The DEVILS Advocate in
the Roman church, protesting against
canonization of the saints, and re-
facilitating the evil done by the can
didate in life, is justly deemed an
ignoble Office. But it was respect
able beside this work of the Devils
Advocate of Cincinnati, and the Jour
nal and Messenger ought to be
ashamed of having such work in
hand, instead of complacently accept
ing the title, in the futile hope of
arresting the faith of the Divine Fa-
therhood as it sweeps toward its
ultimate triumph in the Christianity
of Jesus Christ.

RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this

State should use their influence to pre-

this State, of any minister who is in any
way given to the practices set forth in

all matters pertaining to the religious
life and be it further
Resolved. That our preachers, Sun

should devote more time and effort to

people in the Bible as the authoritative
text book in religion; and that they
should make it clear to all with whom
they come in contact that no kind of

THE LOGIC OF UNIVERsALIsM.

UNIvERsALIsM, as system of truth
revealed by God and received by men,
is certainly grounded in reason and
has basis in logic. In other words
it is a rational system. 1t makes it's
appeal to mans rational nature. The
reasoning faculties of man can see
the grounds of its truth. The divine
nature, attributes and projections
demand the salvation of all men as
means to satisfy the claims of God.
How could infinite benevolence, jus.
tice, holiness and mercy be satisfied
while sin and suffering existed under
the divine government and in VIOLA
ton of the divine law These perfec-
tions in their very nature are opposed
to the existence of sin and suffering
and are pledged to their final and
ultimate destruction. The existence
of sin in opposition to the divine ma
ture, in violation of the divine law,
in rebellion against the divine govern
ment, and in contravention of divine
holiness, mercy and love as an eternal
fact, is improbable if God is infinite
and is the infinite and universal SOW
ereign. If God reigns the result of his
administration must be the destruc.
ton of all sin, and the final salvation
of all sinners.

DEATH OF SAMUEL II. BUGBEE.

We are panied to announce the death
at North Attleborough, Mass, on Mon
day, September 7, of Mr.. Samuel H.
Bugbee, well-known and much beloved
citizen, who for more than forty years
had been associated with the First
Universalist Church, the major part of
that time the Superintendent of the
Sunday school. Mr.. Rugbee was the
chairman Of the parish committee in
1881, when the Editor of THE UNIvER-
sALIsT moved to North Attleborough
from Cincinnati, and his sterling friend.
ship was the Joy and comfort OF the
pastor during his three years. stay in
that town. Mr.. Bugbee was a Univer-
salist in whom there was no guile-a
devout and intelligent believer in our
religious faith, and Christian gentle
man in all the walks of life. He leaves
widow. whose pre- eminent comfor t
now is found in the Gospel hope of i'm.
mortality and the precious memory of
the companion who has now gone from
these earthly scenes.
North Attleborough will sorely miss
this good citizen and faithful friend and
neigbbor and our church in that place,
this beloved and useful member. The
death of such man as Mr.. Bugbee
leaves great sorrow in many hearts and
vacancy in social life which is always
difficult to fill. The world becomes
lonesome to the bereaved friends, but
Heaven nearer and more attractive by
his removal thence. Amid the heavy
sorrow caused by Mr.. Bugbee's death,
we are thankful to the good Father for
the privilege Of his precious friendship
and for having known and loved him
for SO many years. We sorrow for the
death Of our friend, but rejoice in the
strength of our comforting faith that all
partings are but for a season and that
the blessed ones who are dead to earth
are alive and with God forever. J.s.o.

The Worship of the Devil,
(Church Standard, Epis.l

The worship of the devil is becoming
a feature in France and is, of course. set
down by the Roman bishops and clergy
as the introduction of the free-masons.
The worship is of the most grossly bias
phemous and indecent description, one
part of it being travesty Of the mass,
during which hosts consecrated by some
priest and surreptitiously obtained by
some pretending COMMUNICATE. are
treated with the most hideous profanity.
One of the publications of this order Of
devil.worshippers is its Priere du DiabLe
which Pope Leo has answered by his

THE GOLDEN RULE-P0sITIVE AND
NEGATIVE.

That remarkable and very observ-
ing visitor from what was once known
as the Middle Kingdom" the Chi
nese Viceroy, Ii Hung Chang, in his
address at the reception of the New
York ministers who called to thank
him for his protection of the Mission
aries in China, gave expression to
some observations on the Golden
Rule of Christianity, which are COM
mented upon and amplifed in an
article in the Philadelphia Ledger,
which we quote below. Earl Lii
this is the Viceroy's proper title
pointed out what has been often
noted, the similarity between the
Golden Rule and the precept in Con-
fucius, but he was candid enough to
note the essential difference between
the positive declaration of Christian
ity and the negative form in which
Confucius couched his injunction.
Christianity says, in the person of
Jesus Christ, whatsoever ye would
that others should do unto you, do
We even SO to them" Confucius said:
"Do not do unto others what you
would not have others do unto you"
The Ledger comments as follows,
giving a wide range to the thought
suggested by the similarity and yet
absolute difference between the two
maxims and their results in civiliza-
ton.

largely devoted to the report, addresses
and documents of the Indiana Conven-

the proceedings Of the State Convention
and its auxiliaries, the Woman's Asso-

at the session. The Convention uses
this issue as State Missionary docu

the Convention to thus circulate it's

RECENTLY we placed
Lord Tennyson on before our readers
lmmortanty' the remarks Of the
late Lord Tennyson on the enormities of
the Calvinistic faith in which he had
been reared. His op' Mons on Immortal
ity and Free Will are also worthy of rec
ord in these columns. "Lushington
used to say to me-" Tennyson remarked
in the conversations reported by Wilfred
Ward, "that if there were no other world
this world would be all the more valua-
BILE. I, on the contrary, feel that it is
only the light shed on our earth from
another world which gives it any value.
The thought of working for the human
race is not incentive enough to virtue if
man is not immortal. The whole race
will be extinct. probably, in few thous
and years. All the greatest aspirations
are without meaning if man be not i'm
mortal. Religious belief is necessary to
give life any meaning or value. A man
without religious aspirations is only half
man." In the same conversation
speaking of Free Will, Tennyson said:
MAN is free, but only free in certain
narrow limits. His character and his
acquired habits limit his freedom. They
are like the cage OF bird. The bird
can hop at will from one perch to an
other, and to the floor Of the cage, but
not beyond it's bars" This is an excel
lent illustration OF the views on Free
Will usually held among Universalists.

The method Is simple { enough. If has

corona is. Probably most of them
agree that it is an envelope of very thin
matter surrounding the sun, and shining
