the Turks, has become to large ex-
tent, productive and beautiful. The
population, now 100000, has
doubled in the last twenty years. In
1877, there were hardly hundred
miles of carriage roads, and only five
miles of railway in the whole country.
Today, there are roads everywhere,
and hundreds of miles Of railway. In
1877, it was hardly possible for the
traveller to find bed outside
Athens; today, there are numerous
hotels, with all European convenien-
ces, in all the principal cities and
towns. But the true test and proof
of Greece's indomitable spirit of cul-
ture is her educational system. By
that she stands or falls. [ have
visited Greek schools throughout the
length and breadth of the land, from
the infant school kept by the peasant
in the open air, against sunny howell
wall, to the Arsakeion, or girls acad-
envy, and the noble university, with
2200 students, which now grace and
honor the city of Athene. Any one
who will do the same, and listen to
the records of the sacrifices made by
rich and poor for the sake of educa-
ton and culture, will not doubt for a
moment that Greece is amply able to
govern and civilize the lands now
marred and wasted by Turkish mis-
rule. The sums of money given by
rich Greeks for schools, and the hard
ships undergone by the children of
the poor in remote districts to avail
themselves of these, have no parallel
anywhere, save in the United States
and Scotland. Who dares assert of
such people that it is not capable of
ruling its ancient patrimony-the
first home of liberty--better than the
barbarous Turk or the despotic Rus
sian? There is but one just, benefi-
cent, and effective solution of the
Eastern Question, and that is the res
toration of the Greek Empire to
Greece, and the placing of a great
civilizing Power, such as neither
Turkey nor Russia can ever be, as
guardian of the bridge between
Europe and Asia.--Prof. Thomas
DAVIDSON, IN the Nag Forum.

UNIVERSALISM THE RELIGION OF
THE TESTAMENTS.
BY REV. GEORGE A sAHLIN.

ORTHODOXY makes finite man COM
NIT an infinite sin and then holds out
for his relief the proposition that man
can escape the eternal consequences
of this sin providing he has had the
opportunity of hearing or reading of
Christ, and having so heard or read,
subscribes to the creed outlined for
his salvation. In the dark ages
creed was law; INSCRIPTIONS rulers
seized upon it for political power and
made themselves the head of the
church. None of the great creeds
have been materially altered, even
though born in the dark ages and
despite continuous advance of all
other departments of knowledge. As
result the people are now far in
advance and relatively nearer the
kingdom of God. Inspiration and
truth are not explained by creeds.
All that men know about God is
already in the Bible, and no creed
can make it more plain. Men are
now beginning to understand the
Beatitudes which contain the uni
versal truth.
Universalism is the religion of the
New Testament, yet it is none the
less the religion also Of the Old. The
source of the inspiration of Moses
and Jesus was the same, but the later
revelation of God as being of love
is directly opposed to the earlier and
partial revelation of vengeance as
written by Moses. The inspiration
of Moses was limited by his capacity
to understand. He only obtained SO
much of the truth as he was capable
of receiving. He confidently ex-
pected to see the visible person of
God but this privilege was denied.
There is no error as to the inspira-
tion of Moses. The error lies in his
own misconception of the truths en-
trusted to his care.
The un-faith of Christendom is
shown by faith in creeds. The doc
trine of damnation is alien to the
spirit of God. He is as near the
Ethiopian as the Hebrew, as near the
Monaghan as the Caucasian. The
test of nearness to God is, How near
like him are youi When man stands
upon the summit of the Beatitudes,
God is very near to him.
Universalism is the religion of both
the Old and New Testaments because
both contain universal truths and
they show the purpose of God to be
Interchangeable from the beginning.
Christ said the spirit of truth is uni
versal and eternal, and that his spirit
would be with all. The laws of the
eternal are not local, but universal.
Gods truth can be interpreted by all
men, each in the measure of his own
understanding. There is no need to
be frightened by creed or revivalist. |
The Universalist Church is not the
only one by which Gods truth can
be understood. There are other in
strumentalities. Your nearness to
God depends on what you are. The
Mosaic code of vengeance waxed old
when Jesus came to make all things
new. When we understand the truth
we are in the spirit of the New Tes-
lament, which teaches us to work out
our own salvation. No man lives in
vain; no energy is misplaced. Hap
piness, love and righteous ness make

forgiveness.

The Old Testament does not make
Gods forgiveness conditional on man
forgiving man. This is the new word
Jesus taught man: "Forgive us our
trespasses as we have forgiven those
who have trespassed against u.s."
This teaches us that if the door is
shut against our brother, it is shut
against God. The "Son of Man"
came to show that the way to the Fa-
ther was by the way of humanity.
"If we love not our brother whom we
have seen, how can we love God whom
we have not SEEM" John declares
love for one another is the proof that
we love God. Jesus stands for man.
He mingled his blood with the race.
In him we see the solidarity of the
race, the unity of the sonship and the
universally of the divine Fatherhood.
Knowing how the Scribes limited that
which is universal, Jesus says to them,
"That ye may know that man hath
power on earth to forgive SIM" l, the
Son OF Man, said to the sick of palsy
thy sins are forgiven thee" That
there should be no mistake about this
most essential thing, humanity for
giving humanity, it is on record in
three Gospels. "Son of man" are

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Another Arbitration Treaty Agreed Upon
by Oiney and Pauncefote.

Washington. ian. 3O.-Sccretary Oh
ney and Sir .Iulian Pauncefote on Sat
urdnN signed the convention for the
definition by commission of so much
of the boundary line between Alaska
and the British possessions as Is
marked by the Hist meridian. The
treaty will be sent to the Senate to-
day.
The treaty provides n commission of
four members. The names are not Civ
Ell In the treaty but will be agreed on
hereafter. The commission will meet
under the terms of the treaty, in Lon
don or Washington
Its purpose Is to settle beyond doubt
the exact location of the meridian and
thus prevent the clashing between the
miners who have been attracted in
large numbers to the vicinity of the
boundary and the location of these two
countries. The meridian named, the
HIST west longitude, was not selected
as the boundary line by Secretary Oh
ney and Sir Julian Paunccfotc. but was
laid down as the line of division in the
treaty of ccssion by which Alaska was
passed Fly RUSSIA to the United States.
The difficulty has been to tell just
where the meridian actually runs, by
try ms central Alaska.
1t is said at the state department
that there is no reasonable chance for
friction or n radical difference among
the scientists who are to undertake
the work of laying down the meridian,
us this is mainly an astronomical cal
culntion. At set distances points will
he established by astronomical obser-
vations and these will be connected by
lines run by surveyors in the usual
manner, monuments will he erected
ana the boundary will be definitely
fixed. The work of the commission
will he final. for no appeal will be
from their decision.
The convention just signed does not.
however. settle the whole Alaskan
boundary question. which has been
pending for many years between the
United States and Great Britain. 1t
does provide for the settlement of
that portion relating to the northern
boundary, about half of the actual
boundary line between Alaska and the
British possessions and fortunately the
portions which demanded instant
treatment to remove the possibility
of dangerous friction. The south por-
tion of the line, however, remains to
he fixed, for it was only very INSULT
