THE CHAPLAIN'S PRAYER

The Washington correspondent OF the
Minneapolis Journal who signs himself
"Van," recently set going the following
paragraph in regard to Chaplain H. n.
Couden of the House of Representa-
tives:
The chaplain of the present house has
evidently devoted 80 much time to the
study of things spiritual that a few
earthly facts have slipped out Of his
mind. He seems to be especially bazy
upon metallurgical science and evidently
has got some of the Scriptural para
graphs about sounding OF braes and
tinkling cymbals" little mixed up with
the original component parts of the
metals. In his opening prayer in the
house few days ago he gave thanks for
the copious harvests of the year past, the
fertile valleys and sparkling streams
and numerous other things, concluding
with thankfulness for the "hills full OF
BRASS" There are numberless places
where he might have located the brass
30 that the expression would not have
been inapplicable. 1t is seldom found 10
the hills, however.
This is intended to be smart" para
graph and is evidently designed to bring
the blind Universalst Chaplain into
contempt. 1t will lose whatever force it
originally had when it is understood
that from beginning to end the para
graph is without foundation in truth.
We have the best authority for saying
that Chaplain Couden never in any of
his prayers in the House alluded to "the
copious harvests Of the past year" al
though this would have been a proper
theme for national thanksgiving. nor has
he alluded to fertile valleys or the
sparkling streams" although these might
properly enough be remembered in
prayer; nor has he at any time referred
to "hills of brass" or even used the word
"brass" or INDUCED in any attempt to To-
cate "brass"-even in the composition of
reporter, where it is generally be-
lieved to exist in great abundance.
The entire paragraph is an invention,
whose only object beyond filling few
inches of space, would seem to be an
ignobe desire to expose Chaplain Cou-
den to the contempt of the readers of
the Minneapolis journal. The CORE
spondent might readily engage in better
business than this of placing the blind
chaplain, hero. orator, and patriot
thus falsely before the public. Shame
on the man who is guilty OF this out
rage!

hang each other in the name of re-
ligion; but there should have arisen
in all Christian souls a common
spiritual life that should secure their
graceful and happy agreement amid
whatever differences of thought.
1t is to be confessed that there is
more of a unifying sentiment abroad
than there was once; that there are
signs of new brotherhood of piety
and love; that we seem to have
reached the beginnings at least of a
better fellowship. 1t is to be con-
fessed that the modern sectarian
scowl is a great improvement on the
ancient fagot and guillotine; that the
present contemptuous silence and
GOODNESS of intercourse or the re-
proofs of tongue and pen are far in
advance of the old resorts to the am
phitheatre and the dungeon. Perhaps
Christians have approached as near to
the ideal unity as any of the once
sundered orders; as near as the politi-
clans, among whom there is much
wrangling still and, on the eve of inn
portant elections; as near as the doc
tors, who have their hostile schools
and refuse to meet each other across
their sectarian lines; as near as the
scientists, who divide off into crea-
tionists and evolutionists, or other
clans. On all these arenas there's yet
strife; and in this fact we see the
scope of the problems the race is at
tempting to solve. As the outer
world is not all surveyed yet, but
there are dark regions in Africa and
silent domains at the far north and
mysteries in the things all about us,
how much less should we expect to
have the inner kingdom completely
surveyed! But Christians will make
their most successful move toward
unity when they shall come to see
that religion is not chiefly in it's creed
or ceremony, but mainly in its spirit
uality, or group Of sentiments Look
ing away to God and reaching out to
man, sentiments resting on few
simple doctrines instilled into the
mind the existence and beauty of a
God, the reality of a soul and of a
Heaven, and the fact of rewards and
punishments.
The creed essential to piety is in
deed a short one; and when we of
every sect and name rise on these few
great and kindling thoughts to share
the spirit they foster, in other words,
to attain spirituality, then we shall
be one as never before, realizing the
new brotherhood of sentiment which
is assuredly coming to bless the
world.

RICH MAN AND LAZARUS.

JUDGING from the Investigations of
DR.. Adams, reported in one of his
letters in the Leader, it is not too late
to give the Universalist explanation
of such passages as the rich man and
Lazarus. But one is a little cha
grined when he turns to our own
Sunday School Helper for clear
presentation of that explanation and
finds kind of "mugwump" solu-
ton. We dislike to criticise the
Helper for we find so many good and
helpful things in it, and can so
cheerfully testify to its general
ability, but in this case its work is
very unsatisfactory. If an inquirer
should turn to these comments to
find out just what we think concern
ing this passage he would come
away very much mystitied. He
would have to be no ordinary genius
if he could obtain any clear idea
of the meaning we attach to this
Scripture.
The vicious principle underlying
the whole comment of the editor is
found in his treating the parable as
real history, and this, too, after ac
knowledging that it is a parable.
This is the evil principle against
which we have been fighting all our
days and here it crops out in one of
our own authoritative publications.
In the old days it was very common for
the enemy to admit that this story is
a parable and then proceed to treat
it as real history or just as though it
were statement of facts.
Now, if it be real history or state
ment of facts, if there were two men
who had just the experiences herein
described both in this world and in
the next, it does teach something
quite definite about the future life
and intimates pretty strongly the
endlessness of punishment, notwith-
standing the Helpers disclaimer.
If the wicked are in torments and
if great gulf is between them and
the righteous, so that they cannot be-
come righteous, the inference is that
they will always be wicked and there
fore always in torment. In state
ment of facts the great gulf means,
if it means anything, that the condi-
tons of both the good and bad are
fixed.
But the truth is that the story is a
parable, just as much so as that of
the Prodigal Son. The only pecu
liarity about it is that the imagery is
taken from the Greek notions of the
under world. Two men in this world
are described, to neither of which is
anything morally good or evil as
cribed, and are caused to die and one
of them is sent to the heather Tar
tarus in Hades; the other to Elysium,
between which rolled the river Styx,
the great gulf-and then an imagin-
airy conversation is gotten up be-
tween them, the whole object of
which is to show the stubborn unbe-
lief of the Pharisees or Jews.

THE COMING UNITY OF THE
SPIRIT.

The recognition of the spiritual
element in Christianity is bond of
union among all souls that share it.
AS touch of humanity makes all
the world akin, so does touch of
divinity; and over all the walls of
nation and sect the truly spiritual
souls pass and repass, and confess
themselves of common order. The
truly devout feel that all who enter
upon the inner experiences of religion
stand in common group-are shar-
ers of common sentiment. AS that
is the greatest thing connected with
our religion, greater than creeds and
forms because Of their bloom and
fruit; greater than works because the
inspiration to all the great victories
of service; so is it that common spirit
in which soul touches soul and
where there is neither Jew nor
Gentle, bond nor free, Calvinist
nor Arminian, Partialist nor Univer-
salist, but where all these become
one.
The battles of the churches have
not been fought in this atmosphere
of the spirit, but on some lower
plane; over now obsolete terms the
angry campaigns have been conduct
ed; around the brief isms of man, the
accepted truths of one generation to
become the acknowledged errors of
the next, have the din and dust of
sectarian warfare ragged. The ancient
dispute not as to whether God can
be at once just and merciful, but
whether he can be at the same time
three beings in one or only one being,
"a dispute that is now fast receding
from the religious arena; and great
and long strife falling out over the
word baptism, as to whether it in
wolves less water or more, and wheth-
er it is a mere sign or symbol of re-
generation or an act in which regen-
Grafton actually takes place, point
that led few years ago to the defec'
ton from the Episcopal church,
known as the Reformed Episcopal,
we may we'll admit that some meas
ure of this strife of debate belongs to
the development of truth and the pro-
gress of the creeds, but more of the
noble sentiment of religion would
have tempered the controversies and
FASTENED unity of thought, and espe-
cially engendered that ideal condi-
ton, on the very border of which we
have at length arrived, of unity of
spirit amid diversity of ideas and
usages.
This is all we may ask today, and
less than this is not worthy of the
nineteenth century, common spirit
of religion among all sects so strong
that it shall wholly set aside the
childish and barbarian enmities of
past era. We have indeed gotten along

LOMBARD SUNDAY.

NEXT Sunday, May IL, the name OF
Lombard University will be heard in
most of the pulpits of our church be-
tween Ohio and Colorado. A majority
of the pastors have signified their
purpose so to observe the day-or
some other nearby convenient Sun
day-and I am sure the chorus will
be almost universal. If any of our
friends have forgotten the existence
of the old school, or have fancied it
to be remote and alien interest,
next Sunday will go far to restore the
impression to clearness and to power
When our pastors speak out resolute
ly in behalf of "the only college un-
der liberal auspices west of Ohio" the
people cannot but experience new
enthusiasm for their own.
There are certain doubts which can
be and ought to be forever silenced
and satisfied by next Sundays full
minations,-such as whether local
necessities may not lawfully crowd
out Lombard's appeal; or, whether
the school has a possible future of
growth and influence; or, whether
Universalists are under any obligation
to patronize and edify their own in
situations when they are as good as
others. Let the ministering brethren
leave no room for uncertainty as to
their own loyalty and breadth and
hope touching these questions. Lom-
bard can be made whatever we choose
to make it, even one of the most pop
ular, best equipped, and strongest
seats of learning in the West. We
are able to do it. Let us now begin to
do it, not expecting instantaneous
success, but confident that patient
fidelity will at last accomplish it.
To create the greater Lombard"
two contributions will be essential,
one of money, the other OF students.
The Universalists of this Western
country are neither numerous nor
wealthy as compared with other sects;
but, then, we have only undertaken
to support single school in dozen
or more States, while the other sects
frequently have more than one in
each State. The Methodists, for ex-
ample, have five colleges in Illinois.
The task we have set ourselves is
not impracticable. We have means
enough and there are enough of us
to make Lombard second to none l
trust the pastors will elaborate this
feature, and that the people will give
it entry into their minds and hearts.
Universalists are not penurious more
than others. Let us persuade them
to honor their own faith by their do
nations.
Then, as to students. l, for one, am
not so sanguine as to hope, nor so ex-
acting as to demand, that all Univer-
salist youth in the West should be
educated at Lombard, or at some
Universalist schoo'. Were Lombard
confessedly the very best college in
the country there would still be spe-
cial reasons, in particular cases, which
would influence even loyal Universe
lists to send their children to other
more convenient schools. But | do
think that, other things being equal,
Universalists should patronize their
own institutions. | am sure that
Lombard is already strong and eff
Gent school; while in other respects,
such as expenses, moral atmosphere,
religious trend, it has positive advan-
tages. The pastors will doubtless

Peace Practicable.
(ChIistian Register.


There is superstition among people
that peace is not practicable thing. 1t
certainly is not in menagerie without
a sufficient number of cages and bars.
Neither is it practicable in low tribal
order of human society; but. as mankind
advances in social development, peace
should. and in fact does, become more
and more practicable. Slavery. which
was a relic Of barbarism. furnished the
cause for our Civil War; and, now that
slavery has been abolished, the chances
of our forty-six States living peaceably
together are greatly increased. If forty
six States from ocean to ocean may live
in peace and brotherhood without re-
strictive laws between them, there is
hope that great nations may not only be
at peace with themselves. but be at
peace with each other. Peace is not
only desirable. it is possible and practie-
able; but, to secure it. we shall have to
rise from narrow We've of patriotism to
broader views of human brotherhood
and relationship.
