CHAPTER IL

Tom was decidedly uncomfortable
when he left the table. His discomfort
increased as the day on which Miss Mar
garet was to arrive drew nearer. He was
very nervous when he went to the station
with Sander to meet her. He had hoped
to meet her before it became necessary
to announce the engagement, but she
was delayed in her preparations, and 1t
was nearly Christmas when she reached
the city. All engagements must be an
nounced before the first day of Deem
Der or the bachelor was not relieved
from the necessity of paying the matri-
monial tax.
AS Tom paced back and forth in the
little waiting room he thought what a
notorious joker Sander was and won
dered at his own folly in trusting his
happiness for the next three years in the
hands of any one but himself. Suppose
Sander had INDUCED his passion for
playing practical jokes and arranged an
engagement between himself and an an
Gent specimen of humanity who would
gladly give up her right to pension for
the sake Of posing before the world as
the object of mans affections. Sander
had declared that she was stunning, but
with Sander that might mean anything
or nothing. He would have remembered
that at the time of his proposal had he
not been SO worried over his financial
affairs. If Daisy should prove to be
what the fellows called ian ugly back
number" how they would laugh at
him-the elegant Tom Wainwright,
who had always prided himself on be-
ing first il the estimation of every
young lady whom the other fellows
raved about
The train came shrieking into view,
and Tom felt the pressure Of Sanders
hand upon his arm. He walked with
him to the side of the day coach, arriv-
ing Just in time to see Sander help :
dy to alight and then press kiss upon
her cheek. She had come. Tom could
not doubt it, for he head hard Sander
call her Daisy. She had come, and she
was stunning carigature ON humanity.

TOO MUCH BOOTH.

The United States and the world gen.
orally is notified that the meeting be-
tween Bsllington Booth and Mrs. Booth.
Tucker has proved failure as far as
reconciliation is concerned, and that
Ballington is going ahead with his Vol
unteers, whatever happens.
1t may be safely said that this an
nouncement is sufficient. 1t determines
the question that the Booth family have
quarreled among themselves; that the
once powerful and united Salvation
Army has split in two, and that hence
forth there will be two organizations in
America, both devoted to the same work
and which. il not rivals cannot be
counted as allies.
AS to the future success of these or
CARNATIONS it may be that one condition
is indispensably necessary; there must
be entire devotion to the work in hand
and nothing else. In other words there
must be less Booth and more salvation.
The field is wide and there is room for
both in the way of doing good to mems
souls and bodies. but there is not room
for the rivalries and struggles for pre-
cedence Of family. The general work of
the Salvation Army was carried on in the
world before any member of the Booth
family was born and would still be pro-
secuted il there was not a member of
that family in existence. 1t is not we'll
to regard work which has been in
some form or manner continued for
nearly twenty centuries as dependent
upon the labors or exertions or guidance
of a single family.
If salvation is to be the end and aim
of the army or armies, then there should
be subsistence of individuals and indi.
vidual interests. The leaders must be
absorbed in the cause. There must be
less noise about General William Booth
and Ballington Booth and Herbert Booth
and Bramwell Booth and Maud Booth
and Mrs. Booth Tucker and all the other
Booths and their relatives by blood and
marriage. 1t is not we'll to fatigue or
disgust a world it is desired to save
Kansas City Star.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-25

pered with love and mercy, and we
feel that that justice will be just to
all mankind. We know very we'll if
our salvation depended upon our
selves we should fail; therefore we
are glad that it does not depend up
on ourselves. We are glad that we
have merciful High Priest, who is
interceding for us, and that we
should follow his example, and inter-
cede for others. So when Jesus as
the representative, or head of every
man died to sin, then in him all the
world of mankind died also to sin and
were made alive to righteousness.
But what was done in Christ must be
done in and through us, every man in
his own order.
We are commanded to love the
brethren, which some interpret as
love to Christians only; but we look
at it in different light. We believe
that it means love to all humanity,
and we believe that Jesus taught it.
So the apostle John says: eff any
man loveth not his brethren he abid-
eth in DEATH" which means he is yet
dead in sin; he is not yet saved be-
cause his spirit is not yet quickened
to a knowledge of all that life in
Christ implies. 1t shows at once
that the relationship of the human
family takes in the unconverted, as
we'll as the converted. Because if |
do not love my brethren, am dead
in sin, but you are no less my brother
than if l was converted. If this were
not so, no unconverted man ever
could be converted; because Christ
as the first would have no affinity for
sinful men; and the converted man
would have none for the unconverted,
no desire for his souls salvation, no
tender solicitude for him or his. IF
man knows and feels that you have
no sympathy for him, you can do him
no good if you preach to him forever.
1t is sympathy which wins and SYM
pathy which saves.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.

If you are in sympathy with the
Universalist Church and the work it
is trying to do, join some church.
1t will help you to publicly pledge
yourself at the altar to a life of clean
illness and honorable usefulness. 1t
will help you to have church home,
and to feel that in that home you are
not guest enjoying the hospitality
of others, but that you are part of
the home, and can yourself extend
its hospitality. 1t will help you, as
it always helps one to be in his own
place. 1t will help you by making
you feel the friendships that, in spite
of our theories of what ought to be,
are always a little closer in the
church. 1t will help the church by
adding your strength to its organiza-
ton. You NOW give presence and
money" But give yourself. The
church wants not only yours, but
you; and it wants you to be part of
itself. Sympathy is good, the same
as evidenced by money is better, (f
you have money to give) but the SYM
pathy that is made real by the gift of
yourself is best of all. Give yourself
to the church, 'sliving sacrifice, holy
and acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service" Sympathy
is not enough. Great things are ac-
complished in this world only by
organized, united men and women.
Join the church and strengthen it by
your added powers. 1t will help the
church to have its cause openly es-
poused. 1t will help it by encourag-
ing its members and its pastor. We
all like to work with successful under
takings. A church does its best work
when surrounded by the evidences of
growth and increasing usefulness. 1t
will help by helping to show to many
who are only waiting until the church
gives signs of unusual success before
they come to it, that things are NOV
ing and growing there. Your coming
will influence somebody else to come.
II you are Christian, i. g., if you be-
lieve in the leadership of Jesus Christ
and think that all men ought to fol-
low him, then openly ally yourself
with some Christian church.-Good
