We were informed by an agent of the
Convention that a certain minister,
receiving salary of $1,000 per year
had been utterly Indifferent to his
obligations. 1t is patent to all that
any one receiving even 5000 per year
can pay at least small part of this
debt of trust and confidence.
On questions of morality, financial
obligations and indebtedness, the
Trustees should take firm position,
and never depart from it, let the
pressure be whatever it may. Above
all things, in the present crisis, the
Convention should not contract an
other debt until the present is liqui-
dated. Ia this the Universalist
Church will bear out the action of
the Trustees. No DEBT.

the holy Christmastide in it's apparent

SHALL THE UEIVERSALIST MIS-
SION IN JAPAN BE SUSTAINED9

The Universalist Mission in Japan
has justified itself by the results
shown. The work of the missionaries
representing our Church in Japan has
been successful beyond the most san
guine expectations of the friends of
the Mission, and of all those who at
the outset contributed for its estab-
lishment
After nearly seven years of such
productive work, we have to meet the
question, whether or not our church
will continue to sustain the move
ment, SO auspiciously begun, and so
useful along the varied lines of it's
operations. Are we to falter at this
time, and 80 hold back contributions
as to compel severe retrenchment,
thus disheartening the missionaries
in Japan, and crippling the work they
now have we'll in hand? We trust
that there is no cause for alarm; but
we regret to learn that the pledges
and offerings already sent in by par
ishes and individuals, as a result of
the present canvass, show figures con-
siderably less than was anticipated;
and by no means sufficient to assure
the needed support.
1t is not too late to change these
figures. 1t only needs that every
friend of the Japan Mission shall
promptly make some contribution for
its support, and at once forward the
pledge or contribution-large or
small-to the Financial Secretary. 1t
only needs that parishes which have
taken no collection shall at once act,
that we rally together as people to
gives general and generous response
to this call, and thus make due pro-
vision for the carrying forward of the
Mission according to plans which
have already been approved. Shall
we not attend to this business at nce9

in our Christian houses of worship. l
believe the introduction of the Prayer
Book will aid our church greatly in
it's work. The Prayer Book calls for
an offering during the service and
this will be introduced at this time.
Self-support is one of the great prob
lens which we have to confront in
this land, and we believe this re-
quirement is step in the right direc'
ton.
THE CANVASS FOR THE JAPAN MISSION.
The last denominational papers
that reached us contained the call of
the Mission Board for funds for the
support of the Mission for the ensu-
ing year. Those of us who are in the
field and know the real needs of the
work as none at home can know them,
cannot help being anxious, for fear
that in the multiplicity of calls, due
emphasis shall not be given to this
important work. / would have the
needs and opportunities of our work
here published from the housetops,
blazened abroad, so that every fam
lily in our Zion must needs know of
the work and have pressing invita-
ton to give. would have one go up
and down in our churches telling the
story of our foreign missionary work.
would have one go, nothing doubt
ing, to all our people and ask them
to support generously this work to
which God has called us. would
have one go Throughout our land on
this mission fully believing that our
people would gladly give when once
the facts and the pressing needs of
the work were brought home to them.
The support of such an agent for six
months would be money we'll in
vested.
Brethren, let us never forget that
work like this, to languish now,
would shame ourselves, would dis
grace our church and would be a sad
set back to the Christian cause. |
hope this little appeal from me will
not be needed. l am sure it will not
be needed, if our people have had
this matter forcibly brought to them.
But, in any event, l will be pardoned
for my anxiety since the Mission and
it's work lies so close to my heart,
and it's future welfare is matter of
great moment to me. From across
the broad Pacific the Japan Univer-
salist Mission sends greeting to our
people, and prays that in answer to
the call, every man may do his duty.

MISSOURI NOTES.

The Young Peoples Union of the State
have adopted schedule of work for the
year which promises to be most success
full in concentrating their energies upon
the work to be done.
Each department of Union work is
allotted certain period, and in that
period, each Union in the State is ex.
pected to "boom" that particular branch
OF endeavor. For instance, from Thanks.
giving until Christmas, every Union was
expected to exert itself to secure SUBJ
scriptions for Onward" and from
Christmas till the first Sunday in Jan.
uary will be devoted to planning and
preparing for Young Peoples day. Such
a plan Of work gains in interest, because
all are working for the same thing at
the same time.
ASHLEY.
Rev. John Hughes, of Table Grove.
ILL.,, has been with our parish here re-
Gently. delivering a series of interesting
and helpful sermons. Three members
were added. Many othodox people came
out and listened with intense interest
to the explanations of our faith. One
evening sermon was delivered especi-
ally to the Young People, the theme
being "Amusements. Duties and Res.
possibilities" On Saturday evening,
December ID. the meetings were trans
ferred to Bowling Green, where the
Christian church was rendered for our
use Large and appreciative audiences
greeted the preacher.
We hope to arrange soon for regular
services in Bowling Green.

CHRISTMAS AND THE HISTORICAL
CHRIST.

THERE are four lines OF historical
evidence as we go back along the
track of the worlds history that meet
in the life of Christ, proving him to
be the founder of the Christian re-
ligion. The historical literature of
Christianity embodying Christian
thought and doctrine, Christian art,
in which the facts, faith, doctrines
and sentiments of the Christian re-
ligion incarnated in music, history,
architecture, sculpture, and painting;
Christian worship, which is peculiar
in its rites, ceremonies, sacraments,
forms and ritual; Christian institu-
tions, which are the established his
torical monuments of the religion of
Christ.
These all had their origin near the
same time, and in connection with
the same events. They can be traced
to the birth, life, teaching, suffer- ng,
death, and resurrection of Christ as
the series of events in which they had
their origin.
Christmas, instituted in commemo-
ration of the birth of Christ, is not
only religious but social institu-
ton. 1t is now part of the social
and domestic life of the people of
all Christian countries, as it is recog-
nized in the worship of all Christian
churches. Could this festival have
ever been instituted as memorial of
the birth of Christ and become a
permanent institution in the Chris
tian church and an annual festival
in Christian social life, if no such
child had ever been born and no such
man had ever lived? Could the
Fourth of July have been instituted
and kept as national festival in
commemoration of the adoption of
the Declaration of independence if
no such Declaration had ever been
adopted by our national congress?
1t is evident that these institutional
commemorative festivals not only
would not, but could not have been
instituted if the events they COM
memorate had never transpired.
This could not be unless a whole
community could be convinced that
a man that had never lived was born
on certain day, and that legal and
political instrument that had no ex-
istence, and never had, was adopted
by a great national legislature at
certain time, and that as the result
of its adoption nation was born and
a new republic came into existence.
The argument for the truth of histor-
ical facts and historical characters,
based upon the existence of commem-
crate institutions, is strengthened
when we remember that the man
whose birth we commemorate at our
Christmas festival was the author Of
a new revelation, the founder of
new religion, the teacher of new doc
trines, and originated a new move
ment in society that has continued
for nearly two thousand years with

CALLING A HALT.

The management of the affairs of
the General Convention is onerous on
the part of the Trustees. When men
without pecuniary reward take up
on themselves the management of
church interests, and do the best ac-
cording to their ability, they certain
ly should be dealt with leniently.
The Trustees of the General Conven-
ton cannot complain of adverse
criticism on their acts. But the time
has come to call halt, and to de-
mand retrenchment in the ex
penses.
A circular has recently been put out
entitled, Statement and Appeal"
In this statement is the acknowledge
ment of an accumulated deficit at
the end of the last year of $18,3S0,
with prospective deficit of an addi-
tional $1,000 for the current year.
We are then confronted with debt
of $4,000. 1t is also naively re-
marked that "the people who have
voted for the largest sums in Con-
vention have often been those who
contributed the smallest amounts
from their own parishes"
This leads to the following obser-
vations:
l. The Trustees of the Convention
should keep their expenses within
their receipts. Experience proves
that it is difficult matter to pay off
a debt. 1t will be recalled the great
difficulty in paying up former debt
of the Convention that amounted to
some $4,000. If it be urged that
certain interests will suffer if re-
trenchment is made, then let those
interests suffer. When our people
see this loss they will rally to the
rescue far quicker than they will to
meet a deficit, however laudable the
cause for which it was contracted.
2. There has been entirely too
much reliance on the Convention.
We built churches and fourished be-
fore the Convention had dollar of
invested funds. Now we see calls
for Convention aid where no such
calls should be made. Where people
want services they will have it, and
no earthly power can prevent it. In
too many places our people are poor
but proud" and they must have a
fine church built at the Convention
expense. Most of our parishes be-
gan in a small way, and by their own
devotion and self-sacrifice have made
themselves what they are today. We
need to be taught independence and
not dependence.
3. 1t is serious and unfortunate
fact that too many of our clergymen
who received Convention loans are
utterly Indifferent to their obliga-
tions. The unpaid amount is about
$4,000. Add this to the Theologi-
cal Scholarship Fund, we then would
have, of this permanent fund, in
round numbers 100000. This would
make our scholarship fund almost
self-sustaining. Every cent of these
repayments should go to this fund
