Bro. George II. Ashworth, of Ryder

THE USEFULNESS OF ORTHODOXY,

Our brother who is on guard in Ia
coma seems to congratulate himself
upon the "useful orthodox theology,
on endless punishment" because they
always have an apology for any of
their own household. This system
of theology is akin to what local
editor had on his mind-"I have a
thought that have thunk." So with
our self-constituted orthodox neigh
bors, when one of their dear house
hold passes over the dead line, they
all "have thunk" that God will by
some shook or crook" have compass
sion enough to save the soul of "us
four and no more"
AS Universalists, we will not object
to what may be in this case. But we
do object to the selfshness that this
theology produces on the minds and
hearts of those who cherish the per-
nicious system of endless punishment
To believe that God is kind and for
giving to us has no moral or spiritual
benefit upon hearts, when he is un-
kind and unforgiving to our neigh
bors. Such a theology is demoraliz-
ing and corrupts all who believe it.
The theory is not useful" to those
who believe that all of their kindred,
to the third or fourth generations,
are cared for by God. This is one of
the bells that this theology is keep
ing for our so-called orthodox neigh
bors, and out of which Universalism
is trying to deliver them. The theol-
ogy that perpetuates faith in the
endless punishment of some members
of somebody else's household, is the
worst system of unbelief, ever pro-
mulgated. For it continually debases
the true character of God. 1t is
strangely useless, not only to the
wicked, but all who roll it as
a sweet morsel of truth under their
tongues.
Our Waterman brother thinks that
it is a "blessed thing" that the or
thodox believe that their dear ones
are scared for" If not, a greater
number of them, would be ode
throned" of reason. Suppose we ad-
NIT this. Is the condition a greater
calamity, than for John Calvin in
burning Servitus, because he did not
believe in the absurd doctrine of the
trinity? Or hanging Quakers, in
good old orthodox times of our own
countryi The moral effect of hun
bred dethroned of reason would not
be as detrimental as it would be for
one to be burned at the stake.
The idea that Gods love is univer-
sal cuts no figure as truth with a
theology that has endless punish
ment for its foundation. The contro-
versy is not whether one becomes in
sane or one hundred. The theology
is a curse, and in no way is it bless
ing. JB.

GALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR GOOD

In recent conversation with a
friend allusion was made to the des-
Effectiveness of tornadoes, especially
at St. Louis. From frequent inter
views with persons, l have found ag-
nostics but seldom an atheist. l have
also found that agnosticism is not
confined to non church members.
These terrible cyclones bear heavily
on the faith of many religious people
and certainly call into exercise the
the prayer, increase our faith" In
WHAT The eternal goodness of the
Universal Father. l remember over
sixty years ago, when boy, of read
ing the following lines written in
terrible thunderstorm:
This awful God is ours.
Our Father and our love-"
The other part of the hymn showed
that the author believed in the dis
tinguishing love of God and that
what took the favorite to his father
and his love, sent the sinner to place
where earth's storms in comparison
are insignificant disturbances, there
ITO beat upon his naked soul
In one eternal storm"
My friend was not what some would
term thoughtless sinner. He was
of German extraction, was once a
Catholic, became dissatisfied and for
twenty years had attended Protestant
churches. He believed in God and
the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon
on the Mount. 1 asked him what he
thought as to tornadoes. He had
sometimes thought they were sent by
God as punishments, yet there were
things about them that did not look
that way.
The line of conversation was like
this: You believe in God and you be-
lieve in the teachings of Jesus. Does
he teach that such come to punish
expressly for wickedness? Hardly, l
said. On one occasion the self-right-
eous Pharisees asked if "those upon
whom the tower of Sloan fell were
not sinners above measure" Jesus
said they were not, neither were those
whose blood Plate mingled with their
sacrifices sinners above measure"
Then he plainly told these Pharisees,
that if they continued in their sedi-
tious, rebellious course in defying
and opposing the Roman power, they
all with their city would be involved in
destruction by the Romans. Jesus
always recognized the fact that all
events come by the way of law, and
that in the ultimate it is "just and
good" My friend admitted that on
general principles violations of both
physical and moral law brought retri-
button.
In our talk l gave my friend to
understand l believed in God as a
Father and mankind as sons and
brothers, and that though there was
severity when law was violated, it
would be worse for us, if there was
no severity. What appears to us
disastrous without any element that
we can see that goes to vindicate his
Fatherhood, must be attributed to
our ignorance of final results and a
lack of faith in the divine goodness.
The destructiveness of natures
forces operated by God have been
seized upon to create doubt in the
eternal goodness. Very lately a
young Presbyterian minister who is

The Encyclical as a whole is simply
one more weary reiterative assertion of
the claims of papal supremacy. and the
insistence that in order to secure read
mittance to the Roman communion the
Anglican bishops, the clergy and laity
must make a complete surrender to
every phase of Roman Catholic doctrine.
including the immaculate conception of
the Virgin Mary, papal supremacy, and
the infallibility of every official utter
ance of the Pope regarding faith and
morals: all this underlies the friendly
advances previously made to both the
Greek and Anglican churches. The
lion and the lamb may lie down to-
gether. but only with the lamb inside
the lion. To say that this is severere
buff to Mr.. Gladstone is to put it mildly.
