Rev. Abbie E. Danforth has served
faithfully as president for seven Year,
Mrs. R. N. John, her successor, is an
earnest and consecrated woman and will
vigorously carry on the work of this ex-
cellent auxiliary. The reduction OF
dues to State Alliance should result in
large additions to local organizations.
In the evening at 7:30 the Alliance
held general meeting in the opera hall
Mrs. Emma L. James read Scripture
Lesson, Rev Mr.. Wilson offered prayer.
Mrs. A. E. Danforth then read her re-
port as President, and as missionary,
which indicated hard and faithful work,
with some excellent results. Rev. Carl F.
Henry presented very interesting and
encouraging report in regard to Cleve-
land Mission, the child of the Alliance.
Mrs. Danforth also presented some facts
in regard to the Japan Mission. The
exercises we're enlivened by some excel.
lent singing by the Attica choir. 1t was

religion and for man; and, as a rule,
they are admirable types of we'll
rounded Christian manhood. But
yet one misses in the lives of many
OF them the apostolic fervor and
abandon which possessed a Paul of
Tarsus, Francis Xavier and Bish-
op Pattison. The average parson
expects to do his work within the
well-defned limitations of an organ
lied parish, which is virtually club
of the ninety and nine who are not
lost, and presumably need no repent
ance. He is "called" by this club to
minister to its needs. In his work he
may be, and generally is, faithful and
devoted; but the work he does is
routine work, nevertheless. Should
he, like Bayard, feel impelled to seek
for the sheep who have wandered
from the fold-the criminal, the VIC
ious and the vile-he would offend
many, perhaps a majority, in his
parish, who "hired" him, and who,
therefore, believe themselves entitled
to his services.
The truth of the matter is, the
Church today is becoming conscious of
a new and glorious era in its corporate
life, when brotherhood will mean
more than it has ever meant before.
But though it is vibrant with this new
thought, it has not yet been able to
adjust its old machinery so as to
make it responsive to the new force.
Through its guilds and sodalities,
and industrial and philanthropic
agencies of all kinds, it is earnestly
striving to show that it has message
of good news, a gospel of life and
hope for every creature. But its
efforts to reach those without the
pale are largely unavailing, except
here and there, SO long as it is
stretched on the procrustean bed of
outworn tradition and parochialism,
and feels compelled to contend for
the shibboleths of sect, rather than
for the faith once delivered to the
York Tribune.

1t must stand to the credit of the
higher critics that the changes, as to
the authorship of books and their
dates, are now generally accepted.
Bishop Colenso would live today I'M

orally agreed to, even the one for
which he was severely dealt with by
the bishops of those days for denying
the hare chewed its cud, as referred
to in Leviticus. To his rescue came
Professor Hitzig, who declared that
every zoologist knows that the hare
does not chew the cud. Probably there
are some, however, today believing
the good bishop is wrong and Levitt
Gus right. Minor matters have been
corrected and the influence of higher
criticism has been powerful for the
truth. 1t has, however, been carried
away with its triumphs. What the
Christian world has gained it can ill
afford to lose by the misguided judg-
ment of a few aspirants to make the
Bible nonentity. That it has place
and an influence in molding the high
or destiny of mankind is acknowl-
edged, and it cannot be simply con-
signed to a few critics, whose con-
illusions are often overzealous in
maintaining their own pet theories.

THE HIGH WATER MARX REACHED
IN CRITICISM.

THERE is ground for feeling that
the high-water mark of high criticism
has been reached, and the reaction
which has set in is not strong enough
to prophesy what may be the future
study OF the Bible. 1t is difficult to
see in what other waysthis book may
be criticised. There are measures of
ruth to be derived from the revela-
tions of archaeology, and the linguis-
tic evidence may still have its part
to play. But Notwithstanding these,
the so-called destructive criticism has
spent itself. Professor A. H. Sayce
has recently committed himself to
views that would go to prove he has
experienced change of heart, and
has broken away from former convic-
tions. A few others have so expressed
themselves. The Bible has been
picked-and picked to the bone
While many desirable changes in in
depreciation have been brought about,
and a reasonable exegesis of difficult
passages has been made evident, there
is something in the plea, going up
all around, of letting this book alone
for short time. Lately it has done
little for some minds, beyond melting
controversy. If it were possible to
be contented with the view that there

THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION

The Ministerial Association convened
on Monday evening, June l, and the an
nual sermon was delivered by Rev. Il.

There are many people or different

of Universalist truth without bearing

These addresses closed the sessions OF

THE YOUNG PEOPLES CHRISTIAN
HNT0N

Friday, June 5, came the annual meet
ing of the Y. P. G. u of the State. 1t
was success in all respects save in at
tendance of special delegates, and yet
that was quite respectable considering
that many members were still engaged
with school duties.
An excellent song service, led by Miss
Bertha John, of London, was followed
by devotional meeting led by W. @.
Couden, of Akron. The reports Of the
President, Miss Alberto d. CARRIER,
and Corresponding Secretary, Miss Mary
Andrews, we're reported with encourag-
ing words and interesting information.
Although the reports of local Unions
show some reduction in membership,
they also bring to light growth in all
that pertains to practical religious life.
A very interesting feature of the morn
ing session was the School of Methods.
conducted by Rev. Harry L. Garfield,
Secretary of the National Union. His
manner of presenting the objects of the
Union is we'll calculated to lead our
young people into clearer perception of
the obligations resting upon them in
their relations to their fellows. Mr..
Garfield received hearty greeting from
his old associates in the Buckeye State.
The afternoon session was a spirited
one despite the hot weather. The ques-
~ mol nf
the National Union was decided in favor
of annual meetings. A valuable paper
entitled Instructions to President,
Secretary and Treasurer of Local
Unions" was read, and will be published
in the Convention Circular. Rev. Carl
F. Henry. of Cleveland, was elected as
President for 1867, and delegates were
appointed for the national convention at
Jersey City in July.
AT the banquet gathering at the
Hotel Meyers, in the evening at $50,
about so places we're occupied at tie
table. After the repast the following
toasts we're presented ana responded
to by those whose names are given:
Harry L. Garfield, Possibilities of
Institutional Church Work 10 Ohio"
1.-Two Cents Week." Miss Edna A.
Rogers. of Margaretta. Jersey City,
&c." Miss Pearl Ramsey, Leroy. 1t was
a joyful occasion. The Alliance band
gave a serenade while the banquet was
in progress. The closing service was
held at opera hall. beginning at 8
o'clock. Another praise service was led
by Miss Bertha John. Address: Men in
Churches" by A. l. Spanton of Buchtel
College. A paper on GOOD Citizen
ship" by H. B. Briggs, of Cleveland,
was read by his pastor, Mr.. Henry.
Miss M. A. Bortle also read an original
poem.
The Y. p. G. U. of Ohio is constantly
growing in loyalty to the Universalist
Church and its doctrines. And this 10y
atty is based largely on the devotional
spirit which is constantly increasing.
Some of the discussions were earnest,
but without manifestation of ill-feeling.
All was done in the spirit of Christian
love. Thus ends the week of Conven-
tions in the Buckeye State.

People Were Allowed to Look.

The late Lord Bath was one of the
first territorial magnates in the south of
England to throw open his country seat
to the public. Visitors have been for
many years past free to walk where
they please about Longleat park-which
is extremely beautiful and 10 miles in
circumference-and to inspect the gar
dens and grounds, while boats are pro-
vided for them on the large lake, which
is a notable feature in the domain. The
interesting house, with its pictures, Ii
brary and art treasures of every descrip-
ton, has also been open to thousands of
visitors every year.
Longleat was built during the reign
of Elizabeth, and the house has never
been much altered in appearance, al
though all kinds of improvements have
been carried out. The late Lord Bath
built the stables, which are very fine
One prominent feature in the park is a

Buried by Torchlight.

Allerton hall was upward of four
centuries the property and residence Of
the buckingham family. 1t was the
largest and most ancient mansion in
Chapeltown, consisting of about 60
rooms, with gardens and pleasure
grounds. The buckingham family for
upward of 400 years were carried from
this hall by torchlight to be inferred in
the choir of st. Peters church in Leeds.
At the interment of any of the family
the great chandelier, consisting of SO
branches, was always lighted In the
year 17l6 Mr.. Robert Kitchingman died
May z, aged 100 years.
He ordered his body to be buried with
torchlights at chapel Allerton. He was
inferred on May l6, when 100 torches
were carried. The room where the body
was laid was hung with black, and a
velvet pail, with escutcheons, was born
by the chief gentry. The pallbearers had
all scarf, biscuits and sack the whole
company had gloves Fifty pounds were
given among the poor in the chapel yard
on the day of his interment. Mary, his
wife, died July %, l7l6, aged 81 years.
She was inferred precisely in the same
way.-Annals Of Yorkshire.

A prominent manicure, who has do
voted mary years TO the study OF the
subject. states, az the result OF his OBJ
servations, that the finger nails OF the
human suecies grow more rapidly In
children than in adults, and that the
growth is slowest with the aged. His
observations, however, do not stop at
this. for ne finds that both in childhood
and age they grow faster in summer
than in winter In one instance nail
that required 1879 days to renew in win
ter renewed in summer in exactly 116
DAYS. During both seasons the patient
upon whom this experiment was made
enjoyed normal health. The method OF
testing this growth was in each instance
the same. The nail was pared close and
slightly notched at the quick. Both
the right and left hands were studied,
with the result that he affirms that the
growth of the finger nails is more rapid
ON the right hand than on the left.
One popularity of the growth OF I'm
ger nails in addition to those stated,
is that the period of renewal differs pro-
portionately with the length OF the fin
gers. Thus it is more rapid in the mid
die fingers than any other. In the fin
gers ON either side of the middle finger
the period of renewal is about equal and
slower. 1t is even more slow in the lit
tie finger, and the slowest of all in the
thumb. Comparing the same fingers
with the different hands, the person
who discovered these curious phases OF
growth states that on an average the
nails on the left hand fingers require 80
days longer to renew than those OF the
right hand. In one particular, the
growth of the nails and hair and beard
is governed by the same law-that OF
