the BOst0nians.


Boston, Mass, Aug. 21.-Mr. John T,
sullivan will run as an independent
candidate for mayor of Boston tbis fan
with the ayowed intention, if not him
self elected, of defeating Mayor Josiah
quincy, who will be the regular Demo
cratic candidate for reelection.
Mayor Quincy recently refused to
snake hands with John L. Sullivan at
Oarsman Ten Eyck's reception, in
Fanueil hall, and committed what NAV
prove to be political mistake. Sui
llvans amazement at the slight grad
uaiiy changed to anger, and he has be-
come vindictiye. At first, after think
ing the matter over, he was inclined to
content himself with supporting an
anti-octopus nominee, like Mr.. Ward
ner Or Judge Slanker Now he has
crossed the rubicon and put his foot
through the bridge timbers. John L.
Sullivan will ask the support of his
fellow citizens at the polls.

Washington, Aug. 21--A statement

eign trade of Japan during the past.
In the supply CT machinery, rails, nails

of opium. A doctor was called last
night, and left the man better, and the
explanation is that the drug brought
on heart disease.

ishment? Can orthodoxy be true
when it strives to maintain such a
doctrine as that? No wonder that
the heathen refuse to accept it. Did
the divine architect make a mistake ?
Will he turn over his kingdom to the
prince of hell? No, there is no su-
preme power that contends with the
infinite for your soul or mine.
Many persons belonging to ortho-
dox churches do not, cannot believe
the creeds, so it is necessary in order
to strengthen this waning belief in
what they conceive to be the funda-
mental principles, to now and then
employ some wandering preacher
with no responsibility, no local ties to
hinder, to revive the creed features
of these orthodox beliefs. The grow
iug belief, even among members of
these churches, is that the Christ vic
torious is becoming ruler of mems
minds.
There exists a universal hope for
peace on earth. Why not also have
like hope for universal peace in
eternity? Religion is the power that
inspires kindly deeds. If the old
and new conflict then the old must
go. What protest there would be
if only one religion were allowed.
Heaven, Salvation and Christianity
are not things of the mass or con-
crete, but are spontaneous spirit of
love. There is only one power, the
spirit of the truth of God; all human
agencies are ways and means to this
end. AS the mariner sometimes
strikes shoals and meets with disas-
ter in spite of carefully prepared
charts, so will the man go wrong
who tries to map out the mind of the
eternal
In conclusion Mr.. Sahlin said he
disliked to make an absolute answer
to the query, 'Is Orthodoxy False?"
because such an answer might not be
considered authoritative, but to his
mind it was false, and in earnest
words he pledged himself to renewed
efforts against cruel doctrine, which
he said on the one hand damns men
eternally and on the other teaches
that God in his wisdom has so COM
manded and thus allows his childre L
to perish.

we ourselves are comforted of God"
The 'tribulations" of the comfort
ers are great. The Apostle suffered
and all who have had his love for all
mankind, in every age since, have
suffered. Even the narrow creeds
that men have written have been a
tribulation to them who have never
thought of salvation for any less than
the whole human race. The very
comfort of God is that, Gin Christ
shall all be made alive" and that the
final result must be victory over sin
and death. These great comforters
of God have never dreamed of defeat.
Preaching the Gospel to the poor,
healing the broken hearted, op-
ening the eyes of the blind, deliver
ing the captives, has been, and is,
their divine work, without fear of
failure or thought that one prison
door should be left unopened, or one
broken heart unhealed, in all the uni
verse of God. Such love of Christ
that was in them, and that thrills and
throbs in all the noblest Christian
heroes today, forbade and forbids all
doubt of complete and universal sal
vation. This is the comfort of God
the "God of all comfort" The very
nature of love is the ground of hope
and the foundation of trust-trust as
large and grand as love itself. Love
grows by suffering, infinitely expands.
How noble it becomes bearing the
Cross! How God like in tenderness!
How divine in strength! Its cry today
in all the churches is, "enlarge your
creeds to the bounds of Christ's love-"
And SO shall love cry, and pray, and
work, and suffer, until the infinite Joy
is reached, and every tear in this uni
verse is wiped away. The heart of
heaven would break with hell beside
it forever! Christianity would die
but for this comfort of God. "Now
may the God of comfort give you all
joy and peace in believing" Com
fort, ye, comfort ye my people, saith
your God"

Kindness is precious oil that makes
the crushing wheels of care eeem lighter.
Eugene Field.
The blossoms of spriog are the proph-
cts of autumn. So joyful service in
youth promises rich fruitage in after
years.
Existence comes to feel to many of us
like great river which is always flowing
with unbroken force downward to the
sea. 1t never stops. 1t is always push
ing its waters outward. 1t gives the sea
no chance to flow up into it. So is the
ever energetic life of one whose sole idea
is to exert influence to make himself
felt in some result. How often the river
must long to pause! How often it must
become aware that its impetuous rush
is loosing for il the richness Of the great.
deep sea! How often the busy life Of
man becomes aware that somewhere
round it there is richness which it does
not get because it opens outward only,
and not inward! How often it desires to
pause and grow receptive. and take in
to itself the richness which it now is
keeping out!-PhiIIips Brooks.

" UNIVERSALISM AGAINST IT
SELF"

THIS is the title OF a book that our
religious opposers use in all their op-
position to Universalism. 1t consti-
tutes their Theological Digest"
and text oook to prove the dogma of
endless punishment. They prove
from this book that God has an in
finite attribute of vengeance, which
is at war in the mind of God against
his mercy, goodness and love. That
Gods wrath is clamoring for the end
less ruin and torment of souls, while
his love, goodness and mercy are con-
tinually pleading for more divine
grace for the sinner.
The sequence of this warning ele-
ment in Gods makeup, this theology
proves that God is divided against
himself. Jesus taught, that "a house
divided against itself cannot stand" !"
The position taken by our enemies
does not initiate against the truth of
Universalism in the least; yet it fur
nishes an atheistic argument that
there is no God. If the conditions
are true that our opposers draw from
this book they have but one landing,
that is atheism.
A prominent Baptist minister in
writing to the Baptist papers in
Texas, says that debates are good;"
and in referring to particular one,
which he held with a Universalist,
"that it will be warning to those
who array themselves against the
Bible, as held and advocated by the
Baptists." How did this man advo-
cate the Bible? In his efforts to dis
prove Universalism, he assumed that
God has an attribute of vengeance
which is arrayed against his nature
of love. From the argument he Of
fered, one would suppose that God
was controlled and governed by a
malignant spirit of vengeance. In
this debate we were warned" not to
be arrayed against the Bible as held
and advocated by the Baptists. For
this ''great effort of his life," his
brethren congratulated him. In a
matter of fact, for what was this con
graduation? 1t was, as his brethren
supposed, that their minister had
proven the endless punishment of
large portion of the human family.
That he had succeeded in proving
that the Universal holiness and hap
piness of all souls is false. What
sublime item of theology for con-
graduation! What divine thoughts
of inspiration must have been awak-
ened in the hearts of the brethren Of
this Baptist minister! What kind of
a kingdom are such brethren in?
How near are they to a God of love,
goodness and mercy?-James Bill
tngs, IN Herald.

DUTY AND LOVE.

IT was Jesus who summoned Love
to meet the severe demands of Faith,
and welded for the first time the
ideas of Passion and Righteousness.
Hitherto Righteousness had been
spotless and admirable, but cold as
ice; Passion had been sweet and
strong, but unchastened and wanton.
Jesus suddenly identifies Righteous
ness with himself, and has brought it
to pass that no man can love him
without loving Righteousness. Jesus
clothes himself with the command
ments, and each is transfgured into
a grace. He illustrates his decalogue
in the washing of feet, and ccmpels
his disciples to follow his example.
"lf /, then, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet, ye ought also
to wash one another's feet" By one
felicitous stroke he makes Love and
Law synonymous, and Duty, which
had always been respect able now, be-
comes lovely. 1t is a person, not a
dogma, which invites my faith;
person, not a code, which asks for
obedience. Jesus stands in the way
of every selfshness; he leads in the
path of every sacrifice; he is crucified
in every act of sin; he is glorified in
every act of holiness.-ReU. John
Watson, an The Mind of the Master

DIR. ATWOOD CRITICISED.

In the Christmas number of The
UNIvERsALIsr DIR. Atwood says: IF
the calculators who tell us that 3,100
persons own fourth -sevenths of all the
wealth of the United States are to be
believed" If they are not to be believed,
pay no attention to them, Doctor; life is
too short to reply to lies.
He continues: can exact division
would give every person about $1,000.
AS at present invested the income of
our wealth and our labor would give
every person about $780," or 81 900 to
each family of five. Now. let US hear
the Doctors argument: Suppose di.
vision to be actually made and each one
to have his Sl,00O" or $1,000 per family.
what effect would that have on the in.
conner" 1t would decrease the income
of the 81 900 millionaires from 100000
to 81 100000 year down to $1,000 to Sl0.-
900 a year, for we believe these men are
just common clay. and could not COM
mand greater pay than common mon in
business. While the incomes of the TO-
100000 families would be materially in.
creased. say to an average of $1,000
each.
1 wonder that the Doctor, who has
certainly given the distribution OF
wealth some thought, and who is devot-
ing his life to the education of men for
the highest and holiest calling on earth,
to be the true disciples of Him who was
so poor that "he had not where to lay his
head" cannot realize what the increased
income would mean to tens Of thousands,
