THE PROFESSION OF FAITH.
We sometimes think il our doctors Of
Theology" were to spend less time in
trying to create dissatisfaction with the
time-honored Winchester Profession of
Faith, and use more diligence in educa-
eating their people to love more intense
ly their church. and if they were to work
more diligently to interest them in plans
intended to widen and increase the in
huence of the Universalist Church, we
are quite sure the principles of our
faith would spread more rapidly. We
became acquainted with the Profession
of Faith when quite young and its state
ments Of truth we're deeply impressed
upon our mind, and although many
years passed before Providence opened
the way for our open avowal Of it's teach
ings. they were largely advantageous in
many ways. The criticisms upon its
defects can be as we'll urged against the
Bible. We have read carefully all sub
stitutes that have been offered, and in
none have we discovered any statement
that we would be willing to accept as
our theological platform. The time
wasted in using theological microscopes
in the endeavor to discover traces OF
Trinitarian doctrines could be more
proftably employed in arousing interest
in our Japan and home mission work.
"Signs of the times" indicate that at the
coming session of the General Conven-
ton at Chicago. the substitute" now
under consideration will be rejected by
large majority.
Then il a resolution could be adopted
that no further discussion would he had
until the end of the twentieth century.
we are satisfied that the Universalist
Church would be stronger and more in
fiuential.
MISSIONARY WORK.
Rev. Henrietta G. Moore. although
now in the lecture field for the promo
ton of equal suffrage under the auspices
of the National Association, never at
tempts to "hide her colors" in regard to
religious opinions, and in every place
she visits she leaves good impression
in regard to Universalism. We find the
following in the Woman's Standard, for
June, in the report of Suffrage Con-
vention held in the Baptist church at
Ames, Iowa.
ION Wednesday evening Rev. Henrietta
G. Moore, of Springfield, Ohio, gave an
able and eloquent lecture, interspersed
with wit, poetry, sound logic and common
sense, and it was an intellectual treat.
Her subject was the ''Need of Women in
Government. Miss Moore's personality
is co-mingling of Christian zeal and
charming womanliness. -
