Two Styles OF Preaching.

"Souls are sometimes" says an
English writer of the Broad Church
school, "hopelessly repealed from
God and evangelical truth by an
angry insistence on the doctrine of
everlasting punishment" He en-
phasizes the fact, and illustrates the
Christian and anti Christian position
in the following words:
$50 and preach the Gospel, is our
marching order; let us not therefore
hurl damnation at the most obdurate.
Alas, it is so easy to cry, curse We
Meroz;' it is so hard to preach the
truth in love. The old myth teaches
that some of Cupid's arrows were
golden; others were leaden. The
former produced love; the latter
aversion. Thus by the arrows of our
unseemlY wrath we do infinite harm.
Heaven directed and Christ-dis-
posed, we may fire with sweet passion
the hearts of our hearers; on the
other hand, by theological dogm at
ism, we harden them into self-justifi-
cation and dislike of the Gospel"
There are many orthodox pulpits
in the land that still cleave to this
angry way of preaching the Gospel;
and there are also some of the no.
blest pulpits that are "heaven direct
ed and Christ disposed" in the other
way. Verify they have their reward
the latter and the nobler kind in
the larger and more holy influence
which they exert over the hearts of
their hearers, winning them by love
to the Gospel of love and salvation.

How can a thief restore more than he
stole? How could the overplus be a res.
toration?
IL. Sam. xii. 6. "He shall restore the
lamb four fold" How could one restore
to another that which he took not away?
or how could the latter have restored to
him that of which he was never before
in possession? Equally and in the same
sense man may be restored to holiness
and happiness, or have these restored to
him though he was never before in
possession of them, but only of primal
innocence.

hers, and all the fruits of the field since

FROM REV. EDGAR LEAVITT.

The Apostles Creed Amended for Our
Use.
AS various suggestions are being sent
in, l venture also to send in the follow
ing for consideration, to be added, il
thought best to our present creed.
ART. A. We believe that God, as the
moral governor of the universe, will be-
stow righteous and equitable rewards and
punishments upon ali mankind, either in
this life or in the life to come, according
to their several characters or deserts;
but that all punishment will be remedial
and consequently limited.
The Apostles Creed
The Apostles Creed ESQ called might
be acce ptable to many, modifying it as
follows:
l. After He descended into He'll"
[place of departed spirits.
2. After the word Judge" the word
[rulel, which is its true Scripture mean
ing Judge rulel the living and the
dead"
3. Before the word body" the word
spiritual the resurrection of the Esprit
uall body.
A. Make the last phrase read, in the
certainty of retribution and the final
holiness and happiness of all in the life
immortal" This would be at once Uni
versalism and apostolical.

Two September Conventions.


The official notices calling for the
annual meetings of two of the most
important conventions of our church
appear in our columns this week,
namely, Indiana and Illinois. The
Indiana Convention will meet in In
dianapolis, Wednesday, September
lst, and continue in session until the
following Friday afternoon. 1t will
be the semi-centennial of the organ
ization of this Convention, and will
undoubtedly be made an occasion of
considerable moment to the Univer-
salists of that state.
Nearly fifty years ago, a schism
took place among the Universalists
of Indiana on account of the ultra
rationalistic teaching and influence
of several of the leading spirits in
that state, and the consequence was
the organization of a new conven-
ton, planted from the beginning on
strictly Christian basis, which has
lived and prospered until, in a few
weeks, it will complete its half cen
fury of existence. The Convention
does not stop to review it's past his
tory, which is not without pregnant
lessons for organized Universalism in
all parts of the country, but presents
program in full sympathy with the
thought and purpose OF the church
at the present day. The Indiana
Universalists confidently anticipate
largely attended meeting and con-
vention of more than ordinary inter.
est and excellence.
1t ia to be hoped that the Univer-
salists of the state will be we'll repre-
sented at Indianapolis and that the
influence of the annual meeting will
be felt far and wide throughout our
neighboring state.
The Illinois Convention meets at
Earlville, Sept. 28, 90 and 30 The
Earlville church is now without a
pastor, but our industrious State
Missionary, Rev. j. S. Cook, has been
at work in the parish for some weeks
preparing the way for the Conven-
ton, and arranging for the resump-
ton of regular services by the parish.
A good work has been done by Mr..
Cook in both these directions and the
Earlville friends will be we'll pre-
pared to welcome and entertain the
annual meeting.
1t is none too early for our parish
officers and pastors to be looking
forward and preparing for their rep
resentation at Earlville. The official
notice of the Secretary gives impor-
tant hints as to the necessities of
the occasion, and we trust that the
appointment of delegates will be
made one of the early duties of the
Illinois parishes. The attention of
our pastors and clergymen generally
is directed to this coming state con-
vention, and their aid is invoked to
make the Earlville meeting a large
and influential occasion. All this is
preliminary to further reference in
these columns to this sixtieth an
nual meeting of the Illinois Univer-
salist Convention.

Our reward is not measured by the pay

rule holds. Some good people are spoil

languishes unless it renews its strength

DIR. Henley Thus Describes Rev. Edgar
Leayitts Article.
THE article by Rev. Edgar Leavitt,
of Tokyo, Japan, published in The
UNIvERsALIsT of July 10th, presents
the Winchester Profession OF Faith
in manner very satisfactory to all
persons who have given the sub
iect consideration from a candid
position. His explanations of the
various teachings of that venerable
document seem to me to answer all
of the objections that have been
urged against one of the most com
prehensive statements of doctrine
ever presente to the religious world,
and demonstrates that the portions
that have called out the most Sc
we're criticism are susceptible of in
terpretations that ought to be salts
factory to any genuine believer in
Bible Christianity.
1t makes our blood boil with indig-
nation when we read in some OF our
UNCONVENTIONAL papers strong denun-
Citations of statement of faith upon
which the Universalist Church was
founded and has prospered. A recent
writer in the Gospel Banner, in very
brief article, spoke of it at least twice
as the Winchester fetish" 1t is
just such talk that is weakening the
Universalist Church and preparing it
for that dissolution that DR.. Lyman
Abbott broadly hints awaitsit.
The great battle against partialism,
which has not yet ended, has been
fought by presentation of the positive
faith presented in the Winchester
Profession of Faith, and we have yet
to see any offer of a substitute which
would in any way arouse the intellect
and warm up the heart to an earnest
warfare against error. The Winches-
ter Profession of Faith presents the
foundation principles of Christianity
in brief yet comprehensive language,
such as any ordinary mind can COM
prehend, and its abandonment as a
test of ministerial fellowship would
greatly weaken our UNCONVENTIONAL
strength.
This contention for new creed is
not very encouraging to the mission
airy workers. They present the Win
chester Profession as a statement of
our theology in brief; but to be hon.
est, they must tell their hearers that
there is great dissatisfaction with it
because of its erroneous teachings.
pretty soon we will have something
better" Who can blame the Japan
ese, if they should say: eve will not
accept your present creed; we will
wait until you have something bet
ter"
We wish that everyone who ina
gines that he can see grave errors in
the Winchester Profession of Faith
would read Bro. Leavitt's article. We
think candid study of it's presenta-
ton will convince any one that we
have not the talent in the Universal
list Church to produce anything bet
ter. j. W. HENLEY.

Florence Nightingale has just en-
tered her seventy eighth year. She has
never recovered from the hardships she
endured during the Crimean war. Since
1855 she has rarely been totally free from
pain. She received her Christian name
from the town in which she was born
Florence, Italy. Her family name is not
Nightingale, but Shore, her father being
a Nottingham banker, who inherited the
estates of Peter Nightingale on condition
that he assume the name.

Black Bottle, and the Lord Christ. >,
Surely, no one could divine in advance
what such theme would finally be shown
to mean. Jesus Christ we know, Jenny
Lind we have heard of, the effects of
some black bottles we have seen, but we
feel like saying to the preacher, Who are
you to so couple together things sacred
and profane? Nothing is ever gained by
such juxtaposition in one topic of incon-
gruous elements. Such themes remind us
of ill-assorted images of iron, brass and
clay. There is no power of amalgamation,
no force of fusion, to such textual con-
glomerates. And it is grievous sin against
true astheticism, to say nothing of the
sanctities of the Gospel itself, to seek to
advertise sacred things in such a fiippant
and inconsequential fashion.

The supreme court of Michigan has de-
cided that regulation requiring teachers
in the public schools to read the Bible to
their pupils, is in conflict with the consti-
tuition of that state that the constitu-
tional provision protecting religious lib
erty forbds the taxation of the people for
the religious instruction of children or
for maintaining religious worship even in
the school room. The supreme court of
Wisconsin held the same while the SUI

in all acute forms of disease the
