such drainage is absolutely essential

been appropriately defined as the art

Thirty-sixth Congress and reelected
for second term. He was again nomi-
mated for the fourth time but was de-
feated at the election. He was thus four
times candidate, was twice elected and
twice Ton the first and last occasion) de-
feated. During these four exciting
campaigns, Mr.. Gurley made splendid
record as campaigner. The contests
on his part were conducted with re-
markable vigor and are wildly remem-
bered by the old residents OF Cincinnati
as stirring and exciting campaigns.
Mr.. Gurley's career in Congress ex-
tended from December 5. 1859 to March
3, 1868. He soon became a marked man
in the House of Representatives and
proved himself again ready and effec-
tive debator, and stirring and magnetic
orator. 1t is not usually the case that a
member of Congress during his first
year achieves any particular distinction.
but from the beginning, Mr.. Gurley was
recognized as strong man we'll armed.
and he compelled attention and respect.
The Cincinnati Commercial in brief
review Of his political career says; "Mr.
Gurley's zeal on behalf of his constitu-
ents and his energy in advocacy of his
convictions were conspicuous" The
Evening Post" of New York remarks
that he "proved representative worthy
the Queen City of the West. His course
in Congress was straightforward, intel
ligent and fearless. His speeches were
always to the point and true to the
cause of freedom. 1t is again testi-
fed that His influence was marked and
excellent. He was popular With all par.
ties and generally acknowledged to be
one of the cleverest men in the house."
His career in Congress was associa-
ted with some of the most useful legisla-
ton of the time. He was chairman of the
Committee on Printing and to his efforts
was largely due the establishment of
the Printing Bureau of the government,
which has been found so successful and
economical in it's results. He was also
strong and earnest advocate of the
bill for the Louisville Canal, and the
bill establishing system of apprentice
ship for pilots. In the management of
these measures before Congress, he rem
dered valuable service.

the principle of right is always accom-
panied with evil consequences. 1t is
the ignorance or disregard of these
truths that has arraYed man against
his fellowmen with all the strength of
mind and body. and all the arts that
fraud and cunning could invent. IL
every one would endeavor to understand
the true relationship existing between
himself and his fellowmen; and could
learn also the duties and obligations
growing out of those relationships, and
then endeavor to discharge them hon.
estly in the sight of God. this world
would become new paradise. and the
evils that now affiict the individual and
the state would forever pass away. All
who act from principle and according
to the right, unswayed by any lower
motive, are thus helping the incoming
of the Kingdom of God among men.

Mr.. Gurley was warmly attached to
President Lincoln aud was firm friend
of his administration and an earnest ad-
vocate for vigorous prosecution of the
war for the Union. During the war
Mr.. Gurley was appointed by the War
Department for special military duty
in Cincinnati with the commission of
Colonel. We give likeness of him in
graph now in the possession of the edi-
tor of The UNIvERsALIsT.
1t was with the measure which re-
suited in the organization of the terri
tory of Arizona that Mr.. Gurley's con-
gressional service will be the longest
remembered. An editorial article in the
New York Evening Post says: "Mr. Cur
ley was ever deeply interested in the de-
velopment of the vast resources of the
West and was among the first to advo-
cate the organization of the territory of
Arizona. He may be said to be the IA
Their of the bill creating that territory,
and it is not likely that it would have
become law for some years to come but
for his untiring exertions. So thorough
ly had he familiarized himself with the
region constituting the far off district,
that on the passage Of the act, he was
by common consent selected for the post
of Governor of the territory"
President Lincoln ratified this "com-
mon consent" and duly appointed Mr..
Gurley to this important position. His
commission as Governor of the territory
received. Mr.. Gurley made immediate
preparations for the journey to Arizona.
For several weeks he was busy in the
preparations. assisted by the efficient
secretary of the territory, Richard G.
Mccormick. of Queens County, New
York, who had been appointed with him.
and he anticipated much pleasure in
the journey to the new territory.
During the summer he spent some
time in Chicago arranging his business
affairs, and also visited New York, and
spent few days at Newport and on
Long Island. Returning to Cincinnati,
he was stricken down with an illness
which resulted in his death, August 10,
1868. He had for some time been suffer-
ing from the formation of an abscess in
the abdomen. which had the fatal result
recorded. But few of his friends were
aware that his illness was dangerous,
and the sudden death of one who had
been so active and energetic in public
affairs was painful shock to the COM
munity. He passed away at his home
in Green Township, near Cincinnati,
sincerely mourned by all who knew
him.
Mr.. Gurley was man OF small bodily
frame AM apparently of little physical
strength. but he had an excellent con-
stitution and WAS capable of great en-
durance. II was less than fifty years
of age when he died, and few men Of
that age have performed so much ardu-
GUS labor. He was ready and eloquent

Vacation Among Ministers.
(The Interior.)
We may be altogether wrong. but to our
minds it is misfortune that the ministers
OF our various denominations all take
their vacations at the same time. Every
man who is serious worker needs a rest
and period of recreation, it matters not
whether his work be in the pulpit or out
OF it. Nevertheless few of our habits
and customs are so dependent upon con-
tinuity for their strength and power as
that of worship; and it cannot contribute
to the hold of religion upon the conscience
that public prayer and religious instruc
tion should be so largely suspended for
two months in the twelve.
