WHAT UNIVERSALlSTS FORMERLY HAD
TO ENDURE.
InGood Tidings for November IL, B i.
Henry gave some extracts from a book
published by man who once passed as
a Universalst preacher, but who proved
to be a traitor to 1.-THE faith once de-
livered to the saints" The book was
loaned by an enemy of Universalism, to
a person who was in some danger of be-
ing attracted to All Souls church. The
extracts we give show what the pioneers
of our faith had to endure-as follows:
More than nine-tenths of the societies
formed are of an irreligious, profane and
ungodly character. Universalism is a
damnable heresy and ministry of lies.
Upon the ministers Of Universalism the
blood Of souls must rest; their hands
are stained with the crimson flood"
There meet at the Universalist (com
munion) table, the atheist, the deist. the
profane, the gambler, the drinker. and
the adulterer." "Universalism is min
istry of evil. Bad men love it; they call
it their own. 1t makes men bad, and
keeps them 80. No good results have
ever come from it. Alas. what might it
has to break down the best principles,
and hurl men from honor to disgrace!
It causes men to be rude, morose, I'M
civil, unkind and uncultivated. Its
touch is like the leprosy; none can med
die with it without injury. 1t removes
all restraint. The profane, the intemper-
ate, the licentious love this doctrine"
While at the present day such at
tacks upon our life-giving and soul.
purifying faith are not as frequent as
formerly, the same spirit of antagon.
ism and opposition to Universalism and
the Universalist Church still exists
Hence the necessity of continuing to
present our doctrines, in order that men
may be instructed therein, believe and
be saved"
