The Universalist Church occupies
substantially the same position. Our
loyal workers do not propose to be
merged" or in any way given over
to affiliations that will destroy, or
even impair, the identity Of their
church, or to relinquish their work
and Christian responsibilities to any
other organization. Our church
neither proposes to accept the advice
of DR.. Abbott and retire from the
field in favor of the liberal orthodox,
nor to make the Unitarians our resid-
uary legatees. We have our own
work to do, our own UNCONVENTIONAL
life and spirit to cherish, our yet I'M
fulfilled mission to accomplish, and
are we'll prepared to continue all our
instrumentalities on an independent
basis. We can adopt the words of
the Register, and say, in reply to DR..
Abbott, that the proposal to close our
doors sounds rather cool when it
comes from a source outside our
ranks and furthermore, that when
such a suggestion comes from the
inside, we must suspect that some
kind of hazy ideal has been playing
tricks with well-meaning mind"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-06-05
OUR UNIVERsALIST LIFE.

The Christian Register, the Boston
organ of Unitarianism, is moved to
the following righteous deliverance:
Our Unitarian Life.
From time to time there is talk of
merging" Unitarianism in som ething
else, of "ceasing to maintain separate ex-
istence as a denomination, since many
of the ideas for which Unitarians have
contended are being SO rapidly adopted
by the main body of the church. Such
talk does not appear to have reckoned
very accurately with existing conditions
How the churches. now banded together
within this fellowship, can be merged
in any other communion is not entirely
plain upon the face of things. Certainly
there is no sign that any other denomi
nation wants these churches or would
take them as a gift. could they be de-
livered over to such new affiliations.
"Ceasing to maintain separate exist
ence" means. for the present at least,
merely ceasing to exist. The proposal
to close the doors of this number of
Christian churches sounds rath Or cool
when it comes from source outside our
ranks. When it comes from the inside,
we must suspect that some kind of hazy
ideal has been playing tricks with
well-meaning mind.
Sometimes it happens that the
Universalist Church receives similar
suggestions TO those noted above, re-
fering to the Unitarian denomination.
DIR. Lyman Abbott's polite sugges-
ton that the Universalist Church has
fulfilled its mission and should now
go into retirement, is we'll known, and
has been widely repudiated by all
who have spoken for our church. We
also occasionally hear talk about
merging" the Universalist denomi-
nation with the Unitarian, or, at least,
adopting some plan of union by
which the work of the two churches
would be consolidated. 1t seems from
the above that the Unitarians repu-
date very vigorously the idea that
their Unitarian life can be merged
into that of any other denomination.

MORE WORDS OF APPEAL.

l. But few collections from parishes
for the General Convention have yet
been received. | would earnestly re-
quest pastors. treasurers of parishes,
committees, or other officers having re.
sponsibility in the matter. to hasten the
sending in of the annual contribu ton.
Do not wait to add to the amount already
secured, or to make up the entire sum
called for under the last apportionment,
but kindly remit the sum already in
hand; then. il more can be obtained. let
it come later, as an additional offering.
2. The books of my Office show
large number of Cent-a-Day pledges on
which payments are now due. Some
who sent such pledges in 1895 have
made no payment, although the pledges
have been running upwards of two years.
Other subscribers have paid for one
year-perhaps they did so soon after sub.
scribing-but they have sent no returns
for the second year. May l not venture
to urge those thus in arrears to remit
without further delay? l hardly need
to say that it would greatly relieve the
present financial situation, as related to
the General Convention, il all the
friends included in the two classes just
named should at once make payment
of the amounts due on their respective
pledges.
3. In connection with the foregoing
request, desire to call attention once
more to the conditions of the Cent-a.
Day pledges. The obligation is not
merely to accept box. and from time
to time make returns of it's contents,
but the agreement entered into by
signing pledge, unless specially limited,
binds the subscriber from the date of
the pledge until such time as request
for it's cancellation be sent to the Finan-
cial Secretary. There is no hardsh ip in
this. for any subscriber wishing to can
eel bis pledge may do so at any time by
making request therefore. and paying
whatever may be due at the time when
such request is made. The continuous.

The Rev. William HI. Noyss mas re-
signed as missionary in japan of the
American board, on the ground that he
is uncertain whether he believes some
OF the doctrines inculcated by the board.
1t was his avowal OF belief in probation
after death that brought about the ia

the board some years ago.
The Old South Church, of Boston,
according to the Congregationalist, is
prepared to establish valid claim to the
famous Bradford MS. The document
was taken from it's Prince Library, as
the writing on the fy-leaf and the rec.

The Old South Church does not desire
the custody of the volume, but naturally
wants its rights acknowledged.
An assignment by college is new
feature OF the prevailing financial dis
tress. The trustees of Coats College
for Women. founded by the late Jane

assignment May Oath. The liabilities
amount to $4,000. while the assets con-
sist chiefly of unpaid subscriptions to
the college. which it will be hard to
realize on. The college will be con-
tinued until the end of the present term
in June. when an effort will be made to
maintain it under different manage
ment.
Our brother OF the Universalist
Herald has had an experience with par.
ticular results. He explains: "Those
writing poetry for the Herald must fix
it up as they are willing for it to appear
in the paper. The editor is not much of
poet, and not willing to doctor up"
poetry that may be sent him. Our printer
has some aspirations in this direction,
and at his suggestion we undertook to
overhaul manuscript sent to our Office
for publication. Wewere under the i'm
preston that we did good job, but 10,
and behold! the original writer failed to
recognize the verses as his, and was
not favorably impressed by them. We
have decided not to attempt to overhaul
any more poetry"
Swami Vivekananda, the young
Brahmin who won much attention dur
ing the Fair at the worlds congress of
religions in this city. seems to be giving
poor return for all the courtesy he re-
ceived while here. He is particularly
vigorous in his attack on American
church women. assuring his Indian
friends that when a woman here has
failed by all manners of unlovely means
to catch husband she becomes IAN old
maid" and joins church, where she and
the priests" make terrible mess of
religion" The Brahmin then goes on
to insist that the congress of religions in
Chicago was fine thing for the oriental
religions and made Christia nifty ridic-
ulous claim. He further launches vic
iously at the missionaries sent by Eng
land to India. and has done all he can to
retard the spread of western ideas in his
native country. Vivekananda received
altogether too much attention when
he was visitor to the Exposition. Had
he been received on his merits alone he
would now be much more modest and
altogether less offensive.

Children's Day.
(JOurnal and Messenger

Children's Day is important in its re-
lations to the older people. No service
need be more drawing than this. Father
and mother always care for that in which
their boys and girls have part. Talk to
the young, and the old will listen. Give
the young something to do and the more
mature will be sure to be on hand when
the affair takes place. Let the fresh
young voices tell of the Lords work and
sing of it's joys, and the older hearts, cal
loused it may be by sin and the indiffer-
ence and the world, may yield as the
earth does at the springtime to the sun
shine and showers.

DIR. Halls First Pun.

Rev. DR.. John Hall, we believe. has

The Voice from Above.
(Zion's Herald.)
Listen to the voice from aboye-that is
always the safe, and the only safe rule
in character building Some one stands
above you, some one waits and watches
beyond you. The path has been traversed,
the pitfalls are known Always, and
clearly that voice comes calling from
speak falsely. Other voices have mislead,
but the voice of Christ and the voice of
the true man at his moral height are al
ways true.
An English Revivalist's Prayer,
christian Register.)
An English revivalist recently offered
this prayer: 20 Lord Jesus, bring these
dear souls before thy Father Say to
God that they are dear to you. Tell him
that you'll take as favor done to your
self any help that he gives to them" An
orthodox minister of Liverpool who heard
this prayer was properly shocked by such
an outbreak of polytheism But how is
the common mind to distinguish between
this language and the ordinary evangeli-
cal doctrine of mediatorship?
Reunion Among Presbyterians.
PRESBYTERIAN Banner.)
While we do not cherish any extraya
CANT hopes of the immediate reunion of
the Southern Presbyterian Church and
our own, greatly as we desire it, yet the
indications are decidedly in that direc-
tion. Ministers are passing from one of
these bodies to the other, intercourse be-
tween the ministers, elders, and private
members of the two denominations is be-
coming more frequent, and the ties of
Christian affection are becoming stronger
and stronger. This is especially mani
fest in what have been known as ''the
border States''
"UnaccIimated NervesD
NEW York Advocate.)
Sudden changes of work, society, resi-
dence, and climate are often a terrible
tax on vital force, and the more public
the situation, usually the greater the
strain Sir Frederick Bramwell, giving
evidence concerning dynamo engines in
certain part of London, used the phrase
placed above this note. The nerves of
the public are entitled to protection real
nuisances should be suppressed, whether
they affect sight, hearing or SMELL But
they will always remain much room for
self-protection. 1t is an art worth study
ing, to conserve nerves.

Electricity in Egypt.
(Advance.J

For thousands of years the Nile has en-
riched Egypt, but the cataracts of the
river have been regarded as an obstIuc-
tion of commerce, a hindrance in travel,
a detriment to the close union of Upper
and Lower Egypt. But Egypt, aroused
by English enterprise, has so far rubbed
the sand out of her eyes that she is be-
ginning to see great potentiality of wealth
in the cataracts of her ancient river
They may be used for generating electric
ity, and all the year round they could
draw cars, drive cotton mills, supply mo-
tive power for sugar factories and vari-
Gus other industries. Owing to the cost of
transportation, coal is very expensive liz
Upper Egypt, but Professor Forbes, who
has been making a study of the subject,
says that a vast amount of power is run
ming to waste in the catardcts of the Nile
which may be economically turned in the
direction of productive industry. The
next ten years may witness a great in
increase of the wealth of Egypt brought
about by the magic touch of electricity.

Crisis in Foreign Missions.
(The Watchman.)

There is general conviction among
Protestant Christians that the work of
foreign missions is approaching crisis
They do not believe in the doleful prophe-
cies of those who rejoice in the alleged
progressive decline of Christianity as a
token of new dispensation, but there is
an uncrystallized persuasion that unless
the church of Christ engages with great
err vigor and resources in this work,
though she may do as much as she has
opportunities now opening for the extern
sion of the kingdom of God. The peril is
that she may fail relatively, If not abso-
lutely.

The Bible in the Public Schools.
(Jswlsh Messenger.)

Reading the Bible in public school,
once declared unconstitutional in Ohio, has
now been similarly decided in Michigan.
1t is pity that some educational boards
leave no discretion to their principals.
There are so many chapters in the Bible
that even illiberal liberals will agree are
useful lessons for the young that it is
strange that so few principals limit to
these their daily readings And yet the
Western court decides that the reading of
one of David's psalms is interfering with
ones liberty of conscience, and the Bible
must be enjoined until the highest court
declares otherwise. Why is it that fairly
educated people look for points of dis
agreement instead of agreement

Although there are 250,000 Turkish troops in Thessaly and the Greek army has practically ceased to exist as war factor. there is one place in the con quered province which still flies the Christian flag and bids defiance to the Crescent This is the monastery at Meteora, in the northwest corner of Thessaly. Perched upon an almost in- accessible rock and defended by stout monks and we'll provisioned with fiocks oi goats and sheep on mountain past ures behind it, the place has so far resisted repeated assaults, and the blue and white banner still waves proudly in the breeze, and every morning and evening the monastery bell calls good Christians to matins or evensong. The Christians have long since fled and the solemn sound of tue bell serves but to exasperate the Mohammedan soldiers encamped in the valley. The monks have been repeatedly called from prayers to fight attacking Turks with guns and rocks, and they remain calmly confident of their ability to keep the Greek flag over their roof until, in the providence of God, the Turks withdraw from Tbessaly.

A BIG PROJECT.

The Detroit Copper company had en. gineers make survey to see if it was possible to Hume water from the head of Eagle creek into Morenci. The en- gineers reported it feasible, that the Hume would be fifty or sixty miles long and would cost about half a mil lion of dollars. The engineers are now at work making the final sur. Yey. This is great deal of money to
 spend for water, but water has always
 been an expensive luxury in Arizona.
 The company HOW gets its water by
 pumping it from the river. This is
 very expensive and the water is not very good, there being considerable alkali in it. This aiksli attacks the pumping machinery and the pipe line,
 making frequent renewals necessary. With the Hume the expense of the pumping station would be done away with, the company would get better water, and n larger supply, large power could be produced, thus saving money now spent for coal, and be- sides this there is an abundance of hmber at the headwaters of the Eagle which could be cut and sent down the Hume and thus furnish the company with mining timber much cheaper than it now is supplied. The Detroit company bas plenty of capital and is not afreid to spend money if it can see that it will be able to make small saving on each pound of copper produced. The company has enough ore in sight to keep its works running at an increased ontput for many long years, and saving of a cent a pound on the cost of producing the copper means great deal of money.-Lords- burg (N.

Secretary Gage has come to the con clusion that it will be n better plan to have entirely new designs made for the faces of the SI, S2 and S5 silver cer- tifcates than to carry out suggestion about changing the plates from which the present notes nre being printed. Ever since the certificates of these de- nominations were issued from the bureau of engraving and printing con- plaints have been made by banks and business people generally that the notes were not distinctive enough, but looked more like patent medicine ad. vertisements than United States treas- ury obligations.
