likely to receive the benefit of this
revival of business.
OF course no one expects that gold
or silver or greenbacks will now be
had for the picking up. Every one
is not to become rich at once, but
with the revival of trade and indus
try, thousands of heretofore idle men
will have the opportunity of once
more receiving employment and
earning comfortable living. Capt.
tai, always the first to detect danger
to financial interests, has been reas-
sured, and that mysterious thing
called confidence has displaced dis
trust In the business world.
A New York paper gives a list of
mills, factories, shops, and business
enterprises of various kinds which
have reopened or increased their
force of workmen since the election,
the grand total of men who have
thus secured employment being over
10000.
Without vouching for the accuracy
of these or similar reports of renewed
industrial and commercial activities
there seems to be no doubt that a gen.
eral business revival began almost as
soon as the election was over. Peo-
pie are carrying back their boarded
gold to the banks, the wheels of
silent factories are beginning to turn,
smoke is pouring out of chimney
stacks in greater vol hoe, and the
welcome din of industry is replacing
the silence and apathy of enforced
idleness. New furnaces are being
lighted, contracts for buildings are
being let, money is once more to be
h I'd on easy terms, and that subtle
and indefnable thing called conf
dence once more prevails in the bust
ness world
For these reassuring symptoms of
recovery of financial health and the
coming dawn of prosperity every one
will be devoutly thankful. The strain
has been long and trying one and
the entire country, irrespective of
politics, is thankful it is at last at an
end. Now let every one get down to
work and hasten the glad steps of
Prosperity until she has called at
every home in this broad land.

DISTRICT UNION AT WOODLAND.

The District Union of the Y. P. G. U.
held session at Woodlawn on Sunday
evening. The roll call revealed the atten-
dance as follows: 80 Woodlawn; IS Engle.
wood; IA Oak Park; 10 Church of the
Redeemer; 5 st. Paul's; Blue Island.
Miss Keenley. of the Church of the Re-
deemer, read brief paper on the topic
of the evening. "What can We Give to the
World?" and Mr.. Pierce, of the Seamens'
Bethel. made short address explaining
that benevolent work and soliciting CO.
operation. 1t was decided to make con-
tributions for the Thanksgiving dinner
at the Bethel and to give during the sea-
son entertainments on the Bethel boat.
Mr.. Kendall. of Oak Park, presided DUR
ing the evening and brief addresses we're
made by several of the members. The
choir, under direction of Prof. Straub.
rendered some fine music. Miss Carrie
Straub. daughter of Rev. DR.. Straub,
gave fine flute solo. The meeting was
one of the most interesting of the season
and the members and visitors filed the
chapel and constituted very apprecia-
tive audience.

much of the cri me which we find in
highly civilized communities. Mans
whole nature is not developed in
harmony. The moral unity of hui
man nature, life and character is not
preserved, but destroyed by much OF
our modern culture.
The prevalent theory of the func-
ton of education has something to do
with this. The true function of edu-
cation is not only scholarship, as is
generally supposed, but manhood as
we'll. It is not only the attainment
of knowledge but the development of
character that should be sought in
education. In it we should seek to
make men pure and strong, as we'll
as wise. We should not be satisfied
with imparting ideas, but seek to de-
velope principles in men. In other
words all true education aims at max
ing not only wiser, but better, hap
pier, and more useful.
Specialism in culture will not and
cannot do this. A knowledge of
mathematics will not cause men to
speak the truth. To understand
physics does not teach benevolence,
justice, equity and honesty. A wise
head does not always make pure
heart, or noble life. A strong man
does not guarantee strong will, and
righteous conduct. If it did we
would not see in the prisons OF
Europe and America hundreds OF
graduates from colleges and univer-
stiles. Education should seek to de-
velop wise, pure, strong, righteous,
useful men and women. W.T..

BETTER TIMES COMING.

WITH the SHOWS of November and
the Presidents Thanksgiving Proc
lamation comes this year a general
business revival following the long
period of strain, doubt, and suspense
in the business world consequent up
on the panic of '93 and the agitation
of great national issue in the cam
paign Just closed. In Philadelphia,
during the last fortnight, 100000
workingmen, heretofore idle, went to
work at good wages. From every man
ufacturing center comes the cheer
full sound of turning wheels and the
busy hum of industry. There is a
renewed confidence in the business
world shown in increased activity
in every department of trade. Debts
that have been standing for months
and even years have been promptly
paid off in many cases and city
collectors report that their arduous
work has been greatly lightened by
the settlement of the financial ques-
ton in the election of last week.
In one sphere of business activity
alone, that of building, millions of
dollars are already unlocked in this
CITY, and another Western city has,
it is said, six million dollars which
will at once be put into building
and various enterprises. The city of
Baltimore alone, according to Mr.. AL
exander Brown, a reliable banker of
that city, has at least sixteen millions
of dollars that will go at once into
various enterprises, six millions to be
expended in Maryland alone and the
remainder in other States in further
ance of Baltimore's trade and COM
merce.
The same state of affairs exists in
almost every great city of the United
States. Vast sums of capital, with
drawn from trade and business dur
ing the last year or two, are awaiting
investment, and now that confidence
is once more restored in the business
world, it will find its way swiftly back
into the channels of trade. Not only
this, but millions of money with
drawn from this country during the
last year or two, are ready to flow
back seeking profitable investment.
One sum of between forty and sixty
millions it is reported will be in
vested by English capitalists in
mining interests in the West, so
that every part of the country is

his privilege and duty also to place
thecrown upon the brow of her success
sor, and as to ecclesiastical preroga-
tives, half dozen canonries and dean
cries, beside about 1873 livings, are at
his disposal, while his voice and coun-
sci are of great weight in selecting
bishops, though their nomination to
Office lies with the Premier, owing to
the close relation of church and state
in England.
To understand what relation the
See and Archbishopric of Canterbury
sustain to the Anglican church and
to England itself, glance at the
history of Canterbury is necessary,
and our contributor, Mr.. Henry T.
King, supplies this want in the in

RESPONSES TO JAPAN MISSION
CALL.

But few returns have been received
in response to the call for contributions
to support the Japan Mission during the
coming year. Evidently. the day desig-
mated, Nov. s, was not generally observed
in the way of directing attention to the
Japan Mission, and for soliciting con-
tributions to support the same during
the year 1897. No doubt there were
good and sufficient reasons for post
ponement of the appeal in a majority of
cases. 1t is very important. however.
that the matter should be passed upon
at an early date. The Trustees OF the
General Convention need to know be-
fore the close OF the present year what
is the aggregate of subscriptions for
1897. l venture to urge prompt action
on the part of pastors and parishes, and
of all friends of the Mission. that we may
know what is to be the productiveness
of this recent appeal. SO that action may
be taken accordingly.
In this connection, l may state that
reports from several parishes where &C.
ton was taken on the second Sunday in
November. show returns averaging well
with those of one year ago. A number
of faithful friends of the Mission have
also signified their purpose of continued
personal support, and some new help is
promised, by those who have come to see
very clearly the Importance OF the japan
Mission, and to realize that our church
is in honor bound to its support. One
contribution, just now assured, is for
$4,000, to be invested in permanent
fund, the income of which is to be avail
able for the Japan Mission. The de-
voted brother who promises this sum,
has before given generously to Home
Missions. He has the purpose to help
in both lines of missionary effort. l
think we may we'll be encouraged by
this assurance of a gift which will be-
come, no doubt, the nucleus of fund
that will grow. and by means of which
we shall have a constant source OF in
come in our efforts to do mission work
in distant lands.
In the course of few weeks, def
mite acknowledgment will be made.
through THE UNIvERsALIsT, OF all pledges
and gifts received for the japan Mission
under the call for 1897. May | ask that
these returns shall be sent in at the
earliest possible moment?

THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF
CANTERBURY.

DIR. TEMPLE, Bishop of London, and
now promoted to the primacy of the
Anglican church, was born Nov. 20,
1921 and has had the usual career of
most of his recent predecessors,
namely an Oxford education, and
distinguished success in ecclesiastical
ambition, achieving the high honor of
being made Bishop of London, from
which, like four of his immediate
predecessors, he is now transferred to
the See of Canterbury. Like DR..
Benson, his predecessor, DIR. Temple
was an Oxford double first, and like
him was also head master of Rugby,
England's famous public school.
Like most head masters of Rugby,
DR.. Temple had taken orders, and on
the nomination of Mr.. Gladstone in
1868 became Bishop of Exeter and
in 1885 was appointed Bishop of
London.
The new Archbishop lacks some of
the graces of his predecessor, who
was an ideal ecclesiastical dignitary,
doing every thing unexceptionably,
whether making an impromptu adj
dress in unimpeachable Latin at Ok
ford, deciding great ecclesiastical
trial, as in the case of the Bishop of
Lincoln, or writing an analysis of the
latest papal bull on Anglican orders,
confuting it paragraph by paragraph,
and showing it to be historically
valueless. But that DIR. Temple has
abilities far beyond the ordinary is
amply shown by his ecclesiastical
preferments. Both at Exeter and
London he was known as a hard
working Bishop and was especially
Jealous in the temperance cause. In
a memorial sermon for Archbishop
Benson, preached by DR.. Parker in
London, London's eloquent preacher
referred to the new Archbishop as
zone of the wits of Europe, an undis-
covered Sydney Smith" an estimate
which reveals at least one and a very
pleasant side to the new Primate of
England. His effective aid last
spring to the Government on the Ed
ucation Bill may have commended
him to Premier Salisbury as a suit
able person to be made first peer of
the realm, though, as has already
been stated, his position as Bishop
of London placed him in the direct
line of preferment Dr. Temple, as
author of the first essay in the famous
"Essays and Reviews" back in the
sixties, incurred the opposition of the
conservative portion of the English
clergy, but the noise of that contro-
versy died away years ag o and though
its effects are still easily discernible
in the Anglican church today, there
has been such an advance in the
English Church toward liberalism in
recent years that DIR. Temples part
in that advance is no longer so con-
spiouous as it was thirty years ago.
Now at the ripe age of seventy
five he enters upon his new duties, it
may be presumed, with less of the
aggressiveness of former years and
more of the conservatism that comes
with age. The Archbishop enjoys
an income of $4,000 year, has two
palaces, and on all state occasions
has precedence of all except mem
bers of the royal family. In the case
of the death of the Queen it will be

begun a new campaign against sin. In
the series of revival meetings at Cooper
Union. New York, which the famous
Evangelist is now conducting in con-
nection with Ira D. Sankey. "the sweet
singer" with whom Mr.. Moody has so
long been associated, the revivalist is
said to show all his old time fervor, sim.
plicity and directness.
Mr.. Moody evidently does not think
New York ministers are like the old New
England Puritans whom an old lady
described to Emerson as having to hold
on hard to the huckleberry bush to
avoid being translated. He is particu'
larly incisive in his condemnation of the
gospel of negatives, and also of the
too worldly minister. of whom heSsays:
81 like to see a minister, in the world
but | don't like to see the world in
minister" a saying which again recalls
Emerson in his remark. "The clergy
man who would live in city may have
piety, but he must have taste"
Mr.. Moody has outlined big cam
paign in warning against negatives and iu
arraigning ministers themselves. But
then Mr.. Moody is big man and has
both the courage and the language Of
his convictions. One of the results Of
his effective work is that money is con-
stantly flowing in to him from liberal
hearted Christian people from all over
the world. He handles, it is said. and
pays out as much as $4,000 week in
works of charity, his latest donation be-
ing the sum 100000 received from a
banker OF New London, Connecticut. the

direction of Mr.. Moody in mis- education

tration of what zeal and earnestness

ton can accomplish, once the whole man

the pulpit of the Peoples Church and
seek a needed change of rest and scene.
He is announced as proposing tour
through the West and South in behalf

all concerned and that DR.. Thomas may
soon return to the platform of the Peo-

come the work with which his name has
been so long and honorably associated.
