HERE AND THFRE.

One of the most eccentric church
spire is that of the parish church Of
Chesterfield, England, with its curious
spire 228 feet high, and sixty four feet
off the perpendicular. Whichever way
the observer looks at this curious spire
it appears to bulge out in that direction
Among arctic explorers, often over
looked, is Lord Dufferin, who more than
80 years ago was in the northern seas in
the Foam. At Reykjavik, the capital OF
Iceland he made the acquaintance OF
Prince Napoleon, who was also yachting
off the coast of Iceland. Lord Dufferin
pushed up to the dangerous seas off the
island of Spitzbergen.
In France some novel benefit socie
ties have been started under the title La
Fourmie-'the aut." The society is for
the purpose of enabling workingman's
family to secure small payment on his
death, but the novelty is that the longer
the man lives the less the family re-
ceives. The beneficiary pays 81 month
and if he dies before he is thirty eight
his heirs get 81 600; 5000 if he dies be-
fore forty. and so on, the sum becoming
$500 if he is near so when death over
takes him. This rather puts premium
on early extinction.

RELIGIOUS ENJOYMENT.

MAN was created for and adapted
to enjoyment. In his vital organism,
physical constitution, and spiritual
personality there is wonderful pro-
vision for his happiness. In a nor
NAL and healthy condition enjoyment
is inseparable from the possession
and use of his bodily organs, and
his mental, moral, social, and relig-
ious faculties. Life itself is often
the source of exquisite enjoyment.
To exercise the limbs, walk, talk,
breathe, eat, drink, and sleep are all
pleasurable exercises. These organs
were made to be used, and these ap-
petites were given to be satisfied;
and in this use and satisfaction there
is much real enjoyment.
God is good and the universe exists
not only for our use, but for our hap
piness. Pleasure comes to us through
the vision of the eye and the hearing
of the ear. Odors and flavors as we'll
as forms, colors and music are
sources of enjoyment.
There is much happiness in know
ing, believing, loving, speaking and
living in the truth. This satisfies
the intellect, the reason and the con-
science. To do right, discharge duty,
meet obligation, resist temptation,
overcome evil and live for God and
humanity, brings the greatest happi-
ness as satisfying mans highest ma
ture.
In the exercise of the sympathies,
the play of the affections, the sense
of gratitude, the consciousness of
loving and being loved, the conf
dence we have in man and the faith
we have in God, benevolence to man,
and conservation to God, we find the
richest, sweetest, deepest, purest hap
piness. This is religious enjoyment.
1t springs from mans highest nature,
grows out of the use of his noblest
faculties, and is the outcome of his
divinest relations. In union and com
munion with God man finds the
highest exercise of his faculties,
reaches the largest usefulness and at
tains the greatest happiness possible
to his nature.
The Bible speaks of mans religious
enjoyments in most glowing terms.
David says speaking of God: "In
thy presence is fullness of JOY and at
thy right hand are pleasures forever
more" Solomon says, speaking of

"FIXED LIMITATIONS"

A writer in the New York Observer
(Presbyterian) remarks: 1.-THE hope
of the world is in the fixed limitations
which God has set to the powers OF
darkness" He further says in ex-
PLANTATION of the remark: "This is
why Christ Jesus cannot be arrested
in the extension Of his great king
DOM"
This is the statement of great
and vital truth in the economy Of
Christianity which Universalism in
clrnates in its theology, ooastitut-
ing it the characteristic and disting-
uishing truth of our system of faith.
Universalism believes in "hxed limi-
tations" of the powers of darkness
not as Calvinism teaches, by the fore
ordination of elect souls and allowing
the non-elect to pass out of the hands
and loving care of God, but in a limi-
tation of the powers of evil which
guards securely the final destiny of
all souls, and makes the victory of
Christ forever secure.
The fixed limitations" of Calvin
ism presupposes an arbitrary line be-
tween the elect and the non elect and
contemplates the "arrest of Christ's
kingdom" to the eternal disadvan-
tage of myriads who are excluded
from its scheme of salvation.
The fixed limitations" of Univer-
salism, on the contrary, are those
which are taught in Holy Scripture,
and conceived in the divine mind;
and they forever defeat the power of
darkness, rendering evil of no avail
in the conflict with God Under Uni
versalism the dominion of evil is for
ever and effectively limited; it can
have no ultimate triumph; and the
"fxed limitations" which it includes
are those which determine the end of
evil and it's complete overthrow and
defeat. Evil and sin are finite in
their nature and are not allowed
permanent existence under the divine
government. The final victory of
Christ and the extension of his divine
kingdom, contemplates the end of
sin and final destruction of all the
powers of evil. The fixed limita-
tions" which God has set to the do
minion of evil, is sufficiently compre-
hensive to include all things antago.
nistic to the kingdom of his Son, and
in the final triumph of Christ and his
victory over the enemies of the world,
the divine purpose in the creation,
reservation and salvation of man
will be ultimately and grandly es-
tablished.

DEATH OF ROSCOE SYLVESTER

Christian Leader, dug. 13.-Pain-
fully sad we're the emotions that came
to US on Monday morning, as we en-
tered the Publishing House. 1t was in
deed sad surprise to hear that Mr..
Sylvester was stricken with heart fail
ure in his Somerville home. and sudden.
ly fell lifeless. He and his wife had
planned to leave that day for Harps we'll,
Me, where they were hoping to get
strength and pleasure from the tonic sea
breezes. Mr.. Sylvester had neatly
trimmed his lawn preparatory to this
visit Eastward, had put away the lawn
mower, and was reaching for some arti-
Gle which he desired to take with them
on the journey, and the tired heart,
unable to keep the rudy life stream
flowing, suddenly ceased to beat.
On Saturday, just before leaving The
Leader" office we expressed the hope
that he would have pleasant vacation.
"We shall go to my brothers." said he,
'and l think we shall have an enjoyable
time" Having finished Saturdays work
at the office. we took him by the hand
and said. Good bye, till we meet again"
How little could either suppose that this
was to be our last earthly meeting! How
pleasant is the assurance that there is
no wide chasm between the other world
and this. With spirit-hands we can
touch that bright and glorious world.
The blessed fellowship we had inter
changed with one who has gone out of
the body, can it be ended at the sepul-
chre? Through the shadow of death a
radiant form comes to cheer us with it's
presence. 1t is friendship immortalized
1t is the soul that communed with us
few hours ago through a M aterial body,
again communing with US; but this time
it's friendly thoughts pour into our minds
through freer avenues,-through the
spiritual body that God pleases to give
it.
A lady who had lost her husband said
81 feel now as il l lived 10 two worlds"
Cannot the wife in whose affection 30
many Of US sympathize. feel that she,
too, dwells in the blissful realm yonder
while still abiding here on earthY
All who knew Mr.. Sylvester will bear
testimony to his incorruptible integrity
and the purity of his life. For more
than twenty five years he has made our
UNCONVENTIONAL literature speak and
work through the effective instrument
tally of types. How splendidly this
long service certifies to his answering
fidelity. his moral worth. Character is
jewel that glows brighter and brighter
as the years pass on. More and more
we prize tn possessor OF it. Our affec-
tion for him ever deepens.

wisdom or religion: GAIL her ways are
ways of pleasantness and all her
paths are peace"
Christ says: II give unto you my
Joy that your joy may be full" Paul
says: "The kingdom of God con-
sists not in meat and drink, but in
righteousness, peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost"
There is in believing peace: being
justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ"
"By this faith we have access to his
grace wherein we stand and rejoice in
hope of the glory of God" We joy
in tribulation also, knowing that
tribulation worketh patience, and
patience experience, and experience
hope, and hope maketh not ashamed,
because we have the love of God
shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us"
This divinely inspired teaching
shows us that with Christian exper-
fence comes religious and spiritual
joy."We joy in Cod" says the Apos-
tie "by whom we have now received
this atonement." 1t is our privilege
as the children of God to rejoice with
Joy unspeakable and full of glory.
This JOY does not come to us so
much as a reward for Christian con-
duct, as it does as the natural fruit
age of the Christian life. 1t is part
of the harvest from our spiritual SOW
ing; and results as naturally from a
Christian life as the harvest follows
tn seed time.
We should not make the attain
ment of religious joy the great con-
soling motive in Christian life. We
should seek to love the Christian
life, because it is rational, wise, and
right to do 80; because it is for the
glory of God, and the good of man
to live in this way.
God and man have claims upon us
that can only be met and satisfied in
this way. Such life is in harmony
with the divine nature, character and
law; with the nature of man, and the
peace, purity, prosperity, and happi-
ness of society. 1t is in these facts
we should find the logic and philos-
ophy, the reason and the motive, for
the Christian life. Such life fills
the heart and the home, the family
and society with purity, love, joy and
peace. 1t is the browning glory of
men and women in personal, domes-
tic and social life. 1t meets the de-
mands of the reason, the conscience
and the heart; and lifts men and wo-
men to a higher plane of thought,
feeling and action.
