ing of history, Guizot declares what
more ordinary mind readily discov-
ers, that "the ages of faith have been
the ages of life's greatness in spirit
and act" The soul has passed the
open gate, through which have swept
in upon man the inspirations that
have raised him to the highest alti-
tude, and borne him on to the hap
piest victories.
Man has scared on the wings of
faith, and in those rapt moments, he
has gained heroism, love and a
gladness not produced in any of his
lower moods. When we recall the
great ages, and the great names, we
find them encircled by the halo of
this faith in the spirit. On the con-
trary, materialism has no triumphs to
be proud of in all the annals of man
and it seems as incapable of sublime
inspirations as of the highest joy. The
victories of spirit are those which
crown and bless the entire round of
human existence, and happy is the
man who can trust the great realities
which they whisper to the soul.

TO THE UNIVERSALIST CLERGY.

The ministers of Boston, Mass. have
appointed a committee on the Creed,
with the idea of better preparing them.
selves to deal with the subject at the
next convention in general. That COM
mittee learns from individual reports
that our churches are not using the
Winchester Profession so generally as
might be supposed. In order to learn
the extent to which this is true, and be-
lieving that we may the better judge
what the people want when we know
what they have tried and found useful,
it is desired that our clergy generally
inform the committee on the following
points:
l. What creed is used in your parish
organization?
2. What creed or statement of princi-
pies is required as a condition of church
membership?
3. Does the old creed prevent people
from joining the church, or would it do
so if insisted upon as a condition of
membership
In case you use other than the old
creed will you kindly send us copy?

THE FAITH OF REV. B.. F. ROGERS
IN IMMORTALITY.

The following eloquent state
ment of the Christian faith in i'm
mortality is from the pen of the
Rev. B. F. Rogers, who has lately
gone from among US. The passage
occurs in his tract on Immortality
which he prepared for the press in
the first stages of his illness, and
published as his own testimony to
the great faith which he had preach
ed for SO many years. The words
come to us with an added solemnity
now that the dear Brother has gone
from among us to enjoy the full
fruition of his inspiring faith. The
passage was quoted by Rev. Mr..
Ralph in the funeral address which
is reported on our inside page, but
appears here in more prominent
position for attention:
eyes" he says, I'VE shall continue to
exist when this life's career is ended,
and exist forever. When the sun has
ceased to shine, and the stars grown
dim with age, we shall just have be-
gun the journey of life. And as we
move forward on that journey, new
varied and enlarged fields of thought
of glorious activity, of sweet expert
ences and marvellous victories shall
be continually open to us. And as
we explore these ever-expanding
fields of truth, and absorb their wis
dom, there shall come to the soul a
wonderful quickening and enlarge
meat of all its powers. AS the river
gains volume, force, majesty and
beauty, as it rolls onward toward the
sea, SO shall it be with human souls
as they move out on their destined
way of immortal life. They shall be-
come clearer in vision, broader in
comprehension, stronger to grasp
truth and to solve the mysteries of
the universe, and diviner in purity
and love, as the endless ages of eter-
nifty pass before them.
"All that philosophers ever con
jectured or poets dreamed of concern
ing the beauties and glories of the
future life shall be realized, and
much more. Paul says, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath
entered the heart of man the things
which God hath prepared for them
that love him. Love him at any
time, or in any place. In fact, if love
fills the soul now, if we live this life
grandly, as we ought, we shall begin
here to realize something of the joy
that await us in the future; for really
this life and the next are one, this
being the starting point in our i'm
mortal life, this world the vestibule to
the eternal world.
bright and beautiful future for
the human soull l love to dwell on
the picture which Christianity en-
courages us to draw of the Home Be-
yond.' To me it is a picture of mex
pressible splendor and beauty"

DIR. Abbott further finds that the
methods of scientific criticism which
he has unfolded in his lectures is the
same as that now pursued at Cam
bridge University, England, and at
Oxford, and in this country at Union
Theological Seminary, Yale Theology
cal School, the Theological Seminary
of the Free Church, the Episcopal
Divinity School at Philadelphia, at
Cambridge, Mass, at Auburn Pres
byterian Seminary, and at Chicago
Presbyterian Seminary.
We refer to these discourses mainly
to note the remarkable interest the
secular press betrays in such discus
sions, and the evident purpose to
manufacture a sensation by their
publication. Evidently the young
men who are furnishing this tele-
graphic pabulum to the public are
not students of Biblical lore, nor even
advanced pupils in the Sunday-school
classes, else they would not make
such an ado over these discourses. 1t
is possible that they consider they
are helping on the "disintegration of
the orthodoxies" by giving DR.. Abbott
and Mr.. Savage such prominence.
They are only laughed at in intelli-
gent circles of the religious world for
their pains. These views of the Old
Testament are already we'll under
stood, even in orthodox circles, and
are still better understood among
liberal Christians, and have been
matters of discussion for a genera
ton. The secular press, sup to date"
in it's own domain, is sadly behind the
times when it attempts to manufac-
ture sensation out of such discours-
es as those of Abbott and Savage
last Sunday.

THAT CRITICISM.

Bro. S. C's criticism in The UNIvER-
sALIsT of Feb. %. 1897. of my protest
against his treatment of those ministers
who reject the supernatural, merits a
very brief reioinder.
S. @. has my thanks for his crediting
me with an honest belief in God. though.
as he thinks, my faith is illogical while
l do not know it. But even il it is iIlog
ical. it still is real faith in God, and
there is. therefore. no cause for me and
the rapidly growing number of preach.
ers who reject the supernatural, to step
down and out.
According to S. C's logic, however.

The Universalist parishes in Mt
Pleasant, Iowa, and Wauponsee, ILL.,,
have adopted resolutions in regard to
the death of Rev. B. F. Rogers, he hav-
ing served these parishes as pastor and
is affectionately remembered for his per-
sonal virtues and his earnestness in all
Christian work. His generous nature,
broad charity. and his many good works,
are remembered in appropriate terms.
Other parishes which Bro. Rogers served
will doubtless adopt similar resolutions.
They cannot miss touching the same
chord, and this statement may answer
for all, as THE UNIvERsALIsT does not
publish obituary resolutions in full.
HE leaves for us all an example worthy
of our emulation as an earnest worker
in many fields Of usefulness. He shrank
from no danger when duty called. In
perils, in sufferings. in trials as in all his
labors. he was faithful. he was true.
The world has been the better for his
life. His memory is precious legacy
to all with whom he mingled"

Against this kind of logic and this prac-
tical application OF it, repeat my en-
phatic protest.
Bro. s. C.'s view Of the ground we
occupy is very different view from ours;
therefore his logic, for US, is without
effect. To say God is in the universe
and not outside, is not in substance to
affirm that the universe is God, nor any
thing like it; neither can any just logic
declare that the statement virtually de-
MES the divine existence. Yet, il beyond
all question it can be proved that there
is an outside to the universe, then we
must own that, in some unapprehensive
manner God may exist outside also. as
well as Within for there are no bounds
to his presence.
What seems to be the chief difficulty
with s. c., is his peculiar limitation of
the term, NATURE" with his insistence
that we shall abide by this limitation
and confine our employment of the word
exclusively to that which is produced,
because of it's radical derivation. = a
principle which. If applied in the use of
terms, would make utter confusion of
language,
We know. however, that the accepted
use of the word mature" justifies its ap-
plication to all essential relations-not
only thus, but also to the self consist

any violence of use, we may speak. as
we do, of the Infinite One who filleth all
in all. as the NATURAL of all naturals, in
asmuch as he is normally consistent
with himself and normally related to his
eternal proceeding, as cause to effect.
The intimation that the minister who
rejects the supernatural, ever gets so
far as to have nothing in his philosophy
but this proceeding" is UNJUST, because
he never gets so far" On the contrary,
he always has in his philosophy. God and
his proceeding, as constituting the in.

am led to infer, from s. C.'s words,
"the modern supernaturalist does not
hold the machine theory OF the uni
verse;" that, after all, whether he knows
it or not. he has virtually advanced to
our ground, while still Rejecting our
statements; because l can perceive no
ground for any self-consistent theory of
the universe anywhere between the
machine theory and the natural theory.
If this is the case, there no longer exists
any cause for controversy, except that
of our protest against the retention of
Technology that no longer applies. end
our insistence that the expression the
natural, ought now to take the place of
the old phrase. 1.-The natural and the su-

About Crete and Greece.
Independently

A. c. Evangelides writes: The condi-
tion of Crete today is one of poverty and
degradation. 1t cannot well be worse
With annexation to Greece and local self
government the island would soon be-
prosperous and self-supporting. That it
ought not to remain longer under the
rule of the Turk should be clear to any
dispassionate observer. The Greeks are
DESTROYS of seeing the crescent lowered.
In all her struggles Greece has had the
sympathy and material assistance of the
Cretans, and feeling of reciprocal friend
ship and good will exists between the two
peoples which is akin to that expressed
in the words-blood is thicker than water.
Civilization demands that Crete should
be freed from the Turks and annexed to
Greece. Since Greece has been liberated
from Turkish rule her progress has been
marvellous. Similar results would take
place in Crete, and the island under
Christian government and Christian in
fluences would soon become the garden
spot Of the Orient.

Defeat also has responsibilities: the re-

that remain; of winning after-victories in
spite of reverses; and, when nothing else
can be done, to die in a manly way, true
to the last. So died John the Baptist, and
Stephen, and other martyrs who burst
