OUR LETTER CARRIERS.

Throughout the classified service of
our Postal Department there are no en-
ployes who work harder or more faith
fully than the letter carriers. = Drawing
the severe cold of the winters and dur
ing the hot days OF summer. ,they may
always be seen making their rounds of
delivery as regular as clock work. always
obliging cordial, ever ready to bestow
favor on anyone, or giving information
when desired. The high standard and
efficiency this particular branch of the
service has attained, is in large measure
due to the answering zeal and energy
of these public servants. The letter
carriers work is severe tax on his
constitution. and as he grows old very
fast in the service, he has no soft berth
to look for nor any promotion to ex-
pect. The allowance that is. paid to
him now by the Government, consider
ing the requirements demanded of him
has forced many good men to seek
other occupations, as there is no future
for them to look forward to. no pen
sion to expect, whenhe gets old and
gray. 1t is therefore only just when
he seeks to better his condition. There
is now a bill pending before Congress
known as II. R, 260. being similar to
the Senate Bill 305S. passed last sum-
mer by the Senate for the increase of
salaries OF the letter carriers. The bill
provides that the pay of letter carriers
in cities OF more than $4,000 population
for the first year of service shall be
$780, for the second year $500, for the
third year 81 900. for the fourth year and
thereafter $1,000. In cities under u.s.
600 population, the pay for the first year
shall he 5000. second year $500, for the
third year and thereafter $1,000. This
bill should become law. and we hope
that our representatives in Congress will
see their way clear and will take the
same speedy and favorable action on it,
as the Senate has done.

CARDINAL SATOLLPS MISSION.

SINCE the restoration of DIR. Edward
McGlynn to his priestly functions in
the Catholic church and his appoint
ment to a parish in the vicinity of
New York, the whilom aggressive
and turbulent ecclesiastic, who occu-
pied at one time SO conspicuous
place in public attention, has OBJ
served judicious silence. He has
been heard from only at rare inter
walls, apparently having relinquished
the anti-poverty and single tax cru
SADIE of which he and Henry George
were once leaders. In the February
number of the Forum, Father Nc
Glynn has noteworthy article en-
titled, 'The Results of Cardinal Sa-
tolli's Mission" in which he outlines
the mission of the Papal delegate
and describes its beneficent results
on the internal affairs of the Catholic
church in America. "Time and
again." says DR.. McGlynn, she has
lifted oppressive burdens from clergy
and people, righted wrongs, com
PEELED the tempering Of justice with
mercy, made judicial hearings acces-
sible and easy; and, by the happy
interposition of his authority and
by his tact and good offices, he
has been able to bring about rec
onciliations and compromises extra
judicially."
When it is remembered that Faith
er McGlynn was popularity supposed
to be sufferer from the rule of Arch
bishop Corrigan, and was restored to
the active work of the priesthood
only through the influence of Cardi-
nal Satolli, the following testimony
will be read with interest: HE (Sa-
tolli) has restored priests who had
been condemned by their bishops;
in some cases because he found that
they were innocent and in others be-
cause he found that they had already
been too severely punished" 1t will
probably never be known to which of
these classes Father McGlynn be-
longed in the estimate of the forgiv
ing Cardinal when the Ablegate's
mercy was extended to him.
The article in the Forum will serve
to enlighten the public as to the four
years mission of Satolli on many i'm
portant points. On one point in par
ticular the article will prove to many a
revelation, viz, the Cardinals attitude
on the relations of Catholics to the
public school question. SIN his first
address to the assembled archbish-
ops" says DIR. McGlynn, "Monsig-
neur Satolli forcibly reminded them of
the express prohibition by the Sever
eign Pontiff, through the Sacred Con-
gregation, of the exclusion (either by
act or threat from the Sacramento of
parents who might choose to send
their children to the public schools.

the recommendation passed by the
State Board and also by the Association,
urging the Sunday schools to take up an
Easter offering for the missionary ork.
This is an education of the young and
should be encouraged, and we hope each
Sunday-school will send their mite, and
at our May Meeting when the roll is
called not one school will be found that
has not contributed what they could.
Please give this your attention and
when our Chairman writes you, send
what you can we do not ask for large
amounts). A number of schools did take
up this collection last Easter. and re
port was made at our May Meeting. We
expect all to be in line in this work this
coming year, so we will have full re-
port. BELLE GIBSON, Secretary.

the spiritual perception of the gifted
Briton.
You are still more to be congratulated
that you did not. in the small spirit of
the sectarian, fall upon DR.. Watson for
daring to proclaim the larger truth
from Presbyterian pulpit. No epithets.
as hypocrite. coward. time-server, etc.,
are applied because having proclaimed
truth common enough among Universe
lists, are rarely found in the deiverance
OF those who love to be regarded as or
thodox.
DIR. Watson is not enjoined to quit
the Presbyterian fold or remain quiet.
1t is manifest that the writer of the ed.
itorial is more concerned in the pro-
clamation of the truth itself than in the
person or church who proclaims it. 1t is
not assumed that the Universalists have
a mortgage upon this great doctrine.
There is in the tone and spirit of the
editorial Joy that the truth itself is
being effectively disseminated even
though the voice that proclaims it may
have Presbyterian tone.
1t is this spirit which indicates the
true fellowship that unites all men
everywhere. who rejoice in the truth.
Most sincerely do congratulate you
upon your manifestation of this spirit.

GROWTH, PROGRESS, PERFECTION,

UN1vERsALIsM holds out to all its
believers the grand hope of per-
fected universe. Sin and all forms of
evil are not absolute and eternal;
they are temporal and in the final
end of the divine government are des-
tined to pass away. The New Testa-
ment words express the thought which
illumines every dark page of life and
history with the light from above.
Man was subjected to vanity and i'm
perfection not willingly, but by rea-
son of him who hath subjected the
same in hope; "for the creature shall
be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty
of the children of God" The path
is rugged for various wise purposes,
but its goal is growth, and finally
perfection.
II man were made perfect, his per-
lection were not at all to his credit.
But if he elects perfection as the
choice of his soul, and consecrates
himself to its attainment, then a
wreath of honor, a "well done, good
and faithful" awaits him. And vast
is the difference between an unmer-
tied crown, and one that is won by
courage and fidelity. Besides, there
is the joy of growth, and progress to-
ward the distant end of the perfect is
the prime felicity of life.
1t is because we are set in lowly
lot that we have the great privilege
such indeed it is-of moving upward
and passing from one new horizon to
another. Otherwise life would be
stale and unwelcome. If we have
overtaken our end we shall wither
like ripe leaves by the law of our
being; and good cheer will be no
part of our lot. 81 am suffocated
and lost said Margaret Fuller,
when | have not the bright feeling
of progression"
The soul soon discovers that the
seasons of greatest gladness are those
of greatest advancement, and that
with all lull comes loss of joy. And
thus will every soul be permitted to
exult in the credit and bliss of the
great salvation it has taken part in
winning; and this merit and delight
can be reached in no other way. Only
those jewels will be lustrous which
we win for our own crowns, and only
those lives happy that 10 the win

THE SUPERNATURAL IN HUMAN
HISTORY.

The origin of life Oh this globe was
supernatural. This we showed con-
clusively in a former article. We
now proceed to show that the origin
of the human soul was supernatural.
Here we are fort in having
very high scientific authority. John
Fiske says: "Whence came the soul, I'VE
no more know than we know whence
came the universe. The primal origin
of consciousness is hidden in the
depths of the bygone eternity. That
it cannot possibly be the product of
any cunning arrangement of material
particles is demonstrated beyond per-
adventure by what we know of the
correlation of physical forces. The
Platonic view of the soul as spirit
ual substance, which under certain
conditions becomes iucarnated in per-
ishable forms of matter, is doubtless
the view most consonant with the
present state of our knowledge"
The supernatural origin of the soul
is here positively asserted. 1t is not
of "the earth, earthy;" it is not the
product of any cunning arrangement
of material particles; it was not
evolved from anything that went be-
fore; it was a direct "effiuence from
Godhood." Admit, if you please, that
the first soul-germ was planted with
the very beginnings of animal life on
this planet, and that the human soul
as we now know it is an evolution
from tLat primitive germ, nevertheless
the origin Of that soul is supernatural,
for the germ was of God.
God planted the germ, and no mat
ter how many changes that germ
went through or in how many forms
it was incarnated before it became
man, its origin was and is supernatu-
raj. The doctrine of the old Book
that God created man in his own i'm
age is fundamental truth, no mat
ter what the process may have been.
No matter how long it took to incar-
nate the soul in human form divine,
when incarnated it was a child of
God. 1t came from God and is of
the very nature of God, an intelligent,
spiritual force. The origin of the
human soul, therefore, was supernat-
ural, and the evolutionary theory that
allows nothing from God since the be-
ginnings breaks down again, and the
supernst ural gets another sure foot

THE WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION.

The regular monthly session of the
Universalist Woman's Association was
held February 3rd. The annual report
not having been put in readiness for
the printer as was expected, and the
call for money in our missionary work
is so urgent. the Board decided to defer
the matter Of printing, and gave the
order for 500 to be paid to the State
Convention for missionary purposes.
We would ask all members that have
not paid their dues for 1897 to please re-
nit to our Treasurer as soon as they
can, that we may be able to accomplish
our part of the work in the State.
The Chairman on Sunday-schools,
Mrs. d. w. Richardson, will soon write
each superintendent as a reminder Of
