But we need not wait for that future
salvation; for God is especially the Saw
Jour of them that believe. just as soon
as we believe in him and begin to obey
him, according to the teaching and the
example of Christ, we begin to be saved
by him; we begin to be released from
the dreadful power of sin, and to have
in our hearts eternal life, the righteous
ness and peace and JOY which constitute
the heavenly kingdom. We may be in
his kingdom by having his kingdom in
us ON this side of the grave; and that is
what we all should strive for-not
merely to secure future salvation, a
far-away salvation sometime in eternity.
but to be saved here and now, to be de-
livered, as the apostle says. from this
present evil world" or, as the margin
has it, from this present evil age, FAC
cording to the will of our God and
Father" (Gal. Ia That was what
Paul labored for, that was what he
strove for nightly. He believed tt at
God was the Saviour OF all men and
that therefore all men would be finally
saved; but he wanted mankind to have
that present salvation which he him
self bad received through the Lord
Jesus Christ, and therefore it was that
he labored and strove.
That is why Universalis's labor and
strive. That is why they build churches
That is why they preach the Gospel.
That is why they support home missions
and send missionaries to the heather.
1t is because their hope is set on the
living God. who is the Saviour of all
men, specially of those that believe.
They want all men to believe Gods
goodness, to believe the love which he
hath to them, to believe the truth as it
is in His Son Jesus Christ, and SO be in
spired to love him in return, that they
may be saved from their sins and their
consequent miseries at the earliest pos
sible day.
Thank God that such labor is not in
vain in the Lord. Thank God that this
great human world. with its millions of
inhabitants, is rolling rapidly year by
year, out of the darkness of heathenism
and heathenish notions, into the light of
the knowledge of the glory OF God as it
shines in the face of his Son Jesus
Christ.

bring about their salvation. 1t is nee
essary means, but not sufficient one.
No one was ever yet saved by mere pun
isbment, aid no one ever will be. For
one cannot be truly saved until he gives
his heart to God, which is something
that punishment cannot force him to do.
Punishment may prevent him to a GER
tain extent from committing transgres
sions, especially wien he understands
that it is an evidence Of Gods love to
him. But punishment alone cannot re-
veal that or, at truth to him. 1t cannot
teach him that God loves him; and until
he knows that God loves him. he cannot
love God.

kind. That is what Universalists be-
lieve about Christ. They believe that
he is the Son OF God-not God, but the
Son of God in way which is past our
comprehension Matt. 11:27). They be-
lieve in his divine humanity, and that
by virtue thereof he is the very bright
ness of Gods glory and the express
image OF his person, so that in seeing
him we see the Father, just as in look
ing upon photograph we may be said
to see the original. In him we see a
reflex of Gods fatherly character; in
him we see Gods love revealed as no.
where else in all the universe; and in
him we also see an example of righteous
ness, of that perfect humanity which we
all must attain to before we can be fully
saved.
Thus it is that he saves us from the
sinfulness which curses us,-by reveal
ing Gods love to US, and SO inspiring us
to give our affection to him in return;
by giving US perfect example OF right
eousness; by his sympathy for US. for
we have not an high priest which cannot
be touched with the feeling of our in
firmities, but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin; and by
demonstrating for US the glorious truth
of Immortality, without which all our
labors would be but in vain. Thus he
becomes to us "the way, the truth. and
the life." Thus he draws us to himself.
and through himself to God the Father.
Thus he sheds abroad the Holy Spirit
in our hearts and transforms US by de-
grees into his own divine likeness.
Universalists believe in no other sal
walton. To them there is none other
name under heaven G ven among men
whereby we must be saved" than that of
Jesus Christ our Lord. The only way
to be saved is the Christian way, and
Universaliste believe in universal saliva
ton because they believe that finally, in
the course of ages, all mankind will find
that way and walk therein with Joy and
praise.

UNIVERSALISM EXPLAINED.
BY EDWIN C. swEETsER. D D.

BY EDWIN C. SWEETSER. d ID.
Universalism is great system of doc
trines, each of which is related to all of
the others. The doctrine that all men
will be finally saved is simply one of
these doctrines, and in order to be prop
erly understo d it must be taken in con-
nection with all of the rest of them. 1t
does not stand by itself, and cannot
stand by itself any more than single
part of the solar system, single planet
for example, could remain in it's place
and pursue it's true orbit if separated
from it's divinely ordered and natural
relation to the sun and to the other
planets.
Universalists, like st. Paul, have a
conception of God which necessitates a
belief in the salvation of all men, es-
pecially in the salvation of those who
believe in him as he has revealed him.
self to us in his Son Jesus Christ.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-12-19

Instead of believing that impenitent
sinners will be saved from the punish
ment which they deserve for their sins.
Universalists believe that no person who
disobeys the commandments of God can
escape from the penalty. They do not
believe in salvation from punishment,
either for impenitent sinners or for
those who are penitent. On the con-
trary they believe that whatsoever
man soweth, that shall he also reap"
and that whatsoever punishment any
peason deserves shall inevitably be
measured out to him without any dis
count or subtraction.
They believe that when person sins.
he becomes debtor, so to speak, to pay
the penalty of that sin, and that he can
not get release till he has paid the utter
most farthing. No man can break Gods
laws with impunity. No man can break
them and escape from the consequences.
1t would not be for the sinners good to
csc ape from the punishment which he
really deserves. For punishment, under
G DDS government, is not curse but
blessing to those who deserve it. 1t is
meant for their good. They not only de-
serve it, but they need it, and that is
why God sends it upon them. Not be-
! cause he hates them, but because he
loves them and desires to correct them.
that they may know what an evil and
bitter thing it is to forsake his ways,
and may take warning therefrom
not to sin any more (Jer. 2:19). Whom
the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom He re-
ceiyeth. Ii ye endure chastenirg, God
dealeth with you as with sons; for what
son is he whom the father chasteneth
not? Furthermore we have had fathers
of our flesh which corrected us. and we
gave them reverence; shall we not much
rather be in subsection to the Father of
spirits and live? For they verify for a
few days chastened us after their own
pleasure; but He for our profit that we
might be partakers of his holiness.
| Heb. II: 6, 7, 8. 10.) That is the Univer-
salist doctrine of punishment,-tha it is
an evidence not of Gods hatred, but Of
His love, for mankind, being one of the
met ans which He has lovingly appointed
to save them from the ways of Gin.
Let ii not be supposed that Universal
lists teach that there is no future pun
ishment. The Univ ersalist Church does
not hold to that theory. 1t believes in
future punishment just as it believes in
present punishment, for it believes that
Gods laws are forever the same.
AS to the nature of the future punish
ment which people must suffer who die
in their sins. the Universalist Church
does not venture to dogmatize. The
Bible says nothing in particular concern
ing it, but leaves US to suppose, what is
eminently reasonable, that it will be
for the most part the same kind of pun
ishment which sinners bring upon
themselves in the life that now is. viz:
the condemnation of their consciencee,
a consciousness of Gods displeasure.
the disapproval and reproof of their fell
lowmen who are righteous, and depri-
walton of those spiritual blessings and
pleasures which none but the righteous
can possibly know. Probably some of
these consequences will be greatly in
tensifed; but even in this world they are
sometimes so greyious as to drive men
to suicide.

The harbor committee was instructed
to request hearing before the harbor
commissioners at the next regular
meeting in reference to the memorial
which will be presented to the river
and harbor committee at the next ses-
sion of congress.
The committee on publication was in
structed to have published 5000 leaflets
which will contain map of the city,
with accompanying statistics for the
use of members of the chamber of COM
merce and merchants who wish to take
advantage of this method of bringing
the possibilities and advantages of the
city before the outside public.
A letter was read from President
Foulkrod of the Philadelphia Trades
league, referring to the term OF office
of the president of the United States.
The circular looks toward a movement
on the part of the united trades leagues
of the country to urge congress to so
amend the constitution of the United
States that the term of office be for
six years. President Foulkrod asks
two questions of the chamber-tirst,
do you think such a change advanta-
geous?" second, IF so, may we depend
upon your co-operation?" The mat
ter was referred to the executive COM
mittee.
B. j. Curtiss of Washington, D. G.,
was invited to address the chamber on
the 29th of December, or at his conven-
fence, on the philadelphia Museum"
The lecture will embrace all kinds of
manufactured goods. 1t is said by
many who have heard the lecture that
it is one of the most interesting talks
that has ever been delivered on the
subject.
The matter of new building was
brought up by III. c. Warren, who said
that perhaps some legislation would be
needed to further the scheme of erect
ing new structure.
President Ford said that it gratified
him to see that the subject had not
been allowed to die. The chamber GER
tainly needed a new building. The
charter of the chamber allows it to hold
$50 900 worth Of real estate. This would
probably not cover the cost of the
building contemplated.
1t was moved that a committee of
three be appointed to bring the matter
before the next general assembly. The
motion was amended by referring the
whole matter to the executive commit
tee to report at the next meeting.
Max Adler thought that the room
usually used by the chamber for it's
regular meetings was not just the place
to invite Mr. Curtiss to deliver his lee
ture. Tt was then voted that the sec
