Religious Discussion.

1t is sometimes amusing to witness the
avidity with which several branches of
the church militant" in Texas rush
into these arenas of contest over what
is considered vital to true religion. To

OF plunging new-made converts into

Gently clean) for the remission of sins
seems farcical Notwithstanding the hon.
est intent. That this matter of INNER
sion, dipping or sprinkling forms the
larger portion Of subjects in religious
discussion gives one the key note to the
intellectual status of debaters in these
frequent contests. Vital points they are
considered, and as such attract the
crowd. Methodists and Complexities
harry each other over the respective
methods of sprinkling and immersion.
Baptists take up the gauntlet on this
ground Of attack, and the "once in grace
always in grace" question; and 80 the
battle wage on, much to the delectation
Of assembled hearers. When Universal
lists debate, as they occasionally do in
Texas, it is in the discussion of questions
relative to the vital interests of human
ity here and hereafter. In this way peo-
pie outside Of our denomination go out
to enjoy the spectacle of seeing Them

DOctrinaI Preaching.

Is it needful as STEADY diet" in our
denomination? Some say-No; while
others are inclined to think it not neces-
sary to go beyond the practical out
come of Universalism; excepting semi.
occasionally, when an exegetical dis
course may be tolerated. This mainly
in city pulpits-where so-called "ortho-
doxy" lit is claimed) is 80 diluted; and
moreover, favored with such pleasing
extracts of humanitarian eloquence that
our own pulpits need not discourse on
points of doctrine.
Others, who take an all. around view
OF the matter, say that doctrinal preach
ing is as necessary now as it has been.
That too many of those who attend our
churches are not informed respecting
its doctrines and never will be, unless
they are preached from Sunday to Sun
day in more direct form than is usual
in our large cities.
We observe with satisfaction that a
number OF our prominent city clergy
men make no uncertain sound on this
subject of doctrinal sermons. Distinc.
tive Universalism is not likely to die at
the hands of such pastors. They are
needed, and will be for many years to
come.

THE MISSION TO JAPAN.

HEALTH.
We are able to report good health
during the year for all members of the
Mission. except in the case Of Miss
Osborn, who suffered from serious ILL
ness during the summer. Her sickness,
however. coming in vacation hindered to
no great extent her usefulness in the
work, and she has happily recovered her
usual health.
THE GENERAL WORK.
We are unable to report any decided
gains in the work as a whole. Some
changes have been made among the pas
tors having charge of the outposts, and
new workers have been sent into the
field; but it is too early now to estimate
the results of the changes. The condi-
tions affecting Christian evangelization
remain practically the same as year
ago. Although the war has ceased no
appreciable change of attitude on the
part of the people in general toward
Christian teaching is discernable. Owing
to the continued smallness of the Mis-
sion force, the outposts have not been
visited, except in the case of Sendai. 1t
is proposed now, however. that Brother
Cate, previous to engaging in the regu-
lar school work, shall visit the stations
in his capacity as General Superintend-
dent, taking such time as is necessary
to learn thoroughly the condition and
needs of the outpost work. The arrival
of Brother Leavitt in December, 1884
and of Miss Osborne gave much-needed
strength to our working force.

Universalism VS.. spiritualism.

We speak of "Angelic Messengers of
being-in the language of the apostle
"encompassed with cloud of witness
ses" We comfort the mourners in times
OF bereavement,with the assurance that
their loved ones who have departed still
cherish affection for those left behind;
that they have only passed on a little
ways beyond this life, etc.
But do we actually realize that our
own faith, in its purity and entirety
embraces all that is true and good in
spiritualism? Above and beyond all
that is fraudulent. Elusive and delusive,
1.-THE results of deceit and ignorance)
surely there is the evidence of spiritual
communication and spiritual presence,
though it may be invisible to our NOR.
tai eyes. This, as Universalists, it seems
to US we are bound to accept as truth.
We claim, and justly, that all that is
good in any system of religion is, or
should be, embodied in Universalism.
Why any one, believing in the higher
truths of spiritualism, goes out from our
communion on that account. we cannot
understand. There is nothing in our
belief opposed to it; and as beautiful
and inspiring influence within our de.
nomination it is surely helpful and up
lifting. Foolish vagaries and imagina-
lions are not admissible on this ground.
The true philosophy of life and what we
call "death"-this includes the highest
and truest spiritualism.

BELIEVERS IN PRAYER.

Although Paul's prayer was denied
him, instead of his faith in prayer
being weakened, it was strengthened.
And so it has been all life through.
The strongest believers in prayer
have not been those to whom it has
seemed to bring a loaf in their want
or deliverance from some danger
No! the strongest believers in prayer
have been those who, although they
have asked score of outward gifts
in vain, have yet felt it's power as the
sweetener and strengthened of life

handling of the subject even by those

specting hell as a place of endless tor

thought that nowhere save in In
dia was there such an extensive
area Of rich soil only awaiting the

be transformed from desert to a
wide expanse of comfortable homes

strongly emphacised their anxiety
for the early completion of the
great work, ard on this account
they shortened their stay in our
valley, returning to New York to
put the finishing touches upon their
plans and let the contracts for the
prosecution Of building dams and
canals
The beginning of this work will
unloose in this valley steady
stream of money which would be
expended largely among our people
for labor, supplies, ETC., and the
completion of the work will add
some hundreds of thousands Of
population to our valley. When
we take INFO consideration the
1900 square miles contiguous to
Mesa, which would be at once re-
claimed and peopled by home
seekers, we can form some idea of
the colossal nature of the results
to follow the consummation Of this
enterprise. Mesa will in the not
long coming Of time witness the
completion of this great enterprise,
and when that time comes the
crown of the valley, the garden

The prosperity of American
industries depends upon higher
prices for silver bullion because
our competitors in foreign
markets are silver standard
countries. If the price of sill
yer goes up the prices of their
products, as measured in gold,
must 60 up too, and our ex-
ports will be able to command
a higher price and still un-
dersell them in the markets of
the world. But how can we
best elevate the price of silver
bullion? BY kicking it out and
discouraging it's use as money
as much as we can, or by ad-
hitting it to free coinage and
helping along it's restoration as
a money metal in the commerce
of the world? The gold hug
says that you can best raise it's
price by discourging it's use.
