absolute. Today, however, higher
type of manhood is knocking at the
door of this age for admission. We
have discovered that manhood be-
gins down low among physical fac
ulties and functions, and is built up
through the frame work and scaf-
folding of intellect to the highest al
titude of human nature. Mans ma
ture is three fold matter, mind and
spirit, and all are essential to the con-
stitution of man. Matter simply is
not man; mind is not man; spirit is
not man. The human triangle must
be complete. The three lines must
be equal, or the symmetry of the
whole is spoiled.
The speaker next discussed man
as he stands related to each of these
three departments of his being. Man
must respect his body and care for
it. He must cultivate his intellect
and acquire mental possessions. He
must develop soul and attend to the
education of the spirit.
There never was an hour in the
history of our nation when educated
conscience was more needed than it
is today; never an hour when the
ten commandments should be 80 su-
preme as at the present time; never
an hour when the higher ethics
should be taught more clearly and
impressively. Where shall we look
for our model, character complete
and symmetrical, manhood unde-
filed? To whom shall we point and
say: "Make him your model; take
that as your pattern!
Not in classic annals will the name
of such man be found. Not in leg
islative chambers does such char
acter appear. Not in the palaces of
kings, nor in the courts of emperors,
nor in the camps of heroes, did such
a life arise. In all human history
only one fully rounded, completely
symmetrical character appears. Only
one man completed what Heaven
gave him to do-what God intended
for him-the peasant reformer of
Galilee, the Christ of God. There
he stands; gaze at him; there is the
masterpiece. He was the incarnation
OF truth and righteousness. A char
acter to be complete, manhood, to
be supreme, must be crowned and
consecrated and glorified by union
with this perfect man, Christ Jesus.
Life that does not rise into the image
and fullness of Christ, whatever else
it may be, is failure.
So what is needed today is soul
culture. We need the love-type of
character presented by Jesus Christ;
the all-serving character given to the
world by him. The sweetness of the
Christian life with all it's liberty in
Jesus Christ is the one great remedy
for infidelity.
Religion, then, is man-building, and
all churches and all ministers and all
governments and all schools are places
for building men that shall be men
men who will fulfill the will of God in
every sphere of life. No matter what
church you are in, or whether you
are in any church at all, SO long as
you obey every law of God and live
in the faith and love of the Lord
Jesus Christ.

al Sermon at the Woodawn Convention, de.
llyered on Tuesday afternoon. by the Rev
Frank McAlpine, Of Peoria.l
MATT. vii. Il "By their fruits shall ye know
them"
Ito determine the best institu-
tions and laws, we have only to ex-
anime their fruits in the kind of man
hood they produce, and the perma-
nency and quality of their civiliza-
ton.
Judaism and Christianity seems to
prevail where there is the highest
order of manhood and civilization,
and the special points where they
differ from other religions, is in their
conception of God and mans relation
to him.
The conception of God as our
Father gives him the greatest work
ing, power for human elevation. The
thought of Christ as person is one
of the great working powers of our
Christian religion. To think of him
merely as beautiful ideal, worked
out in the sacred literature of the
New Testament, is to limit very
much the working power of the
Christ character, as it affects the
masses of humanity. The few are
thrilled by the beautiful ideal
wrought out Of human imagination
and genius, and presented to man in
pleasing literary form. But the
masses of men are thrilled and up.
lifted most when that ideal is identi-
fed with a real life. When we read
the beautiful character as it is per.
soni6ed in literature by the great
novelist we are helped, yet the fact
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-10-10

the garment of flesh and blood.
Whatever visions he may have had
reaching beyond the veil that covers
the eternal, we may never know till
we look from the summit of life where
he stood. But the key to his earthly
life and human helpfulness is found
in the one fact that he lived what he
taught. He tested in his own life
the rules of life that he gave to
others.
In the fact that he tested in his
own life the principles he laid down
for human guidance, he places in our
hands the key by which we are to
find and test all truth of the eternal
order. Bring your theories to the
test of actual life, and if they work
we'll, in actual practice they are eter-
nal truth. If they do not work well,
they are not Gods truth. The effect
upon life is the judgment hall where
all human theories are to be tried
and judged.
Then you bring your theories to the
bar of human life, and see how they
work, when actually lived.
While the personality of Christ,
and the life he lived, contain the real
working power of Christian truth, yet
the church is the instrument through
which this truth is to be held up for
the guidance of men. The church
may be wrong in it's Interpretation of
theological dogmas, but there is no
earthly organization 80 likely to be
right in teaching the essential truths
of life. The church is the working
harness of true religion, and while it
asks loyalty to the organization for
the purpose of advancing the fun
damentals of religion, it should per-
NIT wide margin for individual
growth and interpretations. Be
strong in the advocacy of the funda-
mentals, but liberal in the matter OF
individual opinions on matters OF
dogma.
As the three wise men referred to
in the opening chapters of Ben Hur,
dreamed that there is universal
truth, over reaching all sectional and
class forms or applications of truth,
SO it is the province Of our church to
build its religious temple in the
realm of the universal Our church
| is not the largest, but the vanguard is
always small. 1t goes forward to
blaze the way and bridge the streams
for the mighty advancing army.
The prophet Micah said of Bethle-
hem, though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah, yet out of
thee shall he come forth unto me
that is to be ruler in Israel" So the
facts of history say of the church of
our love, Though thou be little
among the thousands of human or
ganizations, yet out of thee has come
forth spirit and influence to broaden
human thought, to bind men into a
common brotherhood, to point the
world to common Father, to elimi-
nate the harsbness of theology and
strengthen its love. In short, out of
thee has gone forth spirit of pro-
phesy that is fast evangelizing the
theology of the world"

School teaching seems to be the most
popular of all the fields that are open
to college women. In 1890 there were
in the United States 735 women who
were professors in colleges and univer.
stiles.

GODDARD IS ON TWO PLATFORMS
Congressman Hartman Is Not Yet
Nominated.

Helena, Mont, Sept pa meeting Of
the silver wing and regular republican
state committees was held today. 1t was
agreed that the funds raIseu FOR the cam
paign and the speakers sent into the field
would be altogether for the state ticket.
This practically leaves Mckinley out CT
it. and leaves the regular nominee for
congress. O. +. Goddard. to do his own
vote-getting by himself. The republican
candidates for state offices are running
on two platforms. One indorses the ma
tlonal republican platform and the other
is In favor of l6 to l.
The popuist state central committee
also met in this city today. 1t decided
not to nominate Congressman Charles
s. Hartman for representative. lie is on
the silver republican ticket. In the flu
sion agreement between the democrats
and populsts the nomination for repre-
sentative was left to the mocrats. who
made no nomination, in Difference to the
candidacy of Hartman, who has worked
for silver most valiantly. The populist
committee today did not nominate Hart
man because the right TO do so lay with
the democrats.
