SPRING rs HERE!

The cold, bleak winter has passed.
The warm sunshine, the balmy
breezes and the April showers have
melted the SHOWS, opened the ice
bound streams, and warmed the cold
earth. This is indicated by the spring
grass, the swelling, bursting buds,
the opening flowers and the singing
birds. All nature is full of life, mo-
ton and music. The murmuring
streams, the babbling brooks, the
whispering winds make nature vocal
with the strange, sweet notes of
spring.
Nature is divine. The forces of ma
ture are divine. They are manifesto
tons of divine will. The thought in
nature is divine thought and reveals
the action of divine mind. Natural
science as study of the universe re-
veals Gods reason and divine laws of
order and beauty. Nature is reve-
lation of God. 1t is the material gar
ment in which he clothes himself
the physical mechanism through
which he works. The beauty of ma
ture reveals divine taste; it shows
Gods love of the beautiful.
God fills all nature in spring time
with motion, life, light, beauty, sun
shine and music.
1t is Gods revelation to man, and
is full of law, prophecy and promise.
1t appeals to mans reason, con-
science, hopes and fears. Its thought
instructs his intellect; its beauty cul-
tivates his taste; its sublimity awes
him into reverence; its goodness
awakens his gratitude; and its kind
ness enkindles his love.
Nature is the creation, God is the
creator. Nature is an effect of which
God is the cause. Nature is paint
ing; God is the artist. We see God
in nature as we see the cause revealed
in the effect, the artist revealed in the
picture, the giver revealed in his gift,
the divine Father revealed in his
work.
In spring nature begins her build
ing processes. The trees begin to
build buds, leaves, blossoms, flowers
and fruit. Birds begin to build their
nests, and fix up the homes in which
they can raise their young. The in
sects build and spin and weave; and
nearly all living things are building
for future use and enjoyment.
The instinct of hope appears to be
universal; and where reason and fore

A CHANCE TO LEARN A TRADE.

The tools to those who can use
them, and chance to learn how to
use them, should be the next great
movement in education. After boy
has acquired the rudiments of book
education, it is time to begin to teach
him some business by which he can
earn his daily bread throughout life.
He need not necessarily give up
his books, but for few years he
should combine book instruction with
manual training, as is done in the
so-called industrial continuation
schools of Germany. These schools
take youth when he first leaves the.
primary schools, and begin to teach
him trade or calling, at the same.
time continuing his study of books in
evening schools. The studies are the
same as with primary schools, but
carried further.
These schools are supported by the
government, like otherpublic schools,
and by the time youth is twenty
years of age he has acquired trade,
and has a good common school edu-
cation-far better than our boys who
leave school at thirteen or fourteen.
Our boys are then thrown on the
world, too many of them, to get their
living by their wits. There is abso-
lutely no chance for the majority of
them to learn a trade. The labor
unions control the matter, and they
say just how many apprentices may
be taken. and generally furnish the
boys themselves. The consequence is
that in 1880. of the persons engaged in
trades in Philadelphia. thirty per cent
were foreigners, in Boston forty per
cent, in New York fifty-six, in Chicago
sixty, and in Brooklyn sixty-nine per
cent. The proportion since the time
of that census would be much larger,
as at that time the restriction upon
apprentices had not been long in
force. Experience has abundantly
proven that the best thing you can
do for the average boy, is to teach
him trade. 1t is his surest defense
against poverty and vagabondage.
Why then do we not give him the OPP
portunity to learn one when Youngi

DEATH OF ARCHIBALD SMITH, OF
GLASGOW.

GALEsBURG. ILL.,, April s..
DO the Editor of THE UNIvERsAIIsT:
suppose you have the same sad news
that has come to me from Scotland. Our
friend. Mr.. ARCHIBALD SMITH, is no
more Of earth. He passed away on the
evening of April II at his home in Glas-
gov. His health had been failing for
some months. but after the middle of
last December the decline was rapid.
The skill of physicians was powerless to
prolong his useful life.
His was a singularly unworldly. pure
and Christlike character.
''None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise "
Among the multitude of his good
works which will cause his name to be
remembered with blessings, stand the
three splendid stone buildings which he
gave to the Orphan Homes of Scotland,
near Glasgow. Two of these bear the
names of our presidents: Washington"
and Lincoln and Garfield" These
buildings are the home and nightly
shelter of one hundred and fifty orphan
children. He also presented to the same
institution not long since a Gonzales
cent Home at the sea side.
He gave away books by the hundreds
and thousands to his friends and to H.
braries and societies. He had just given
a thousand volumes to the library of the
Orphan Homes and his last and char
aeteristic gift was Of large number of
volumes to the Young Mems Christian
Association of Lanark. His Christian
faith was absolute and his spiritual life
profound. The last days and hours
were, while attended with much weak
ness and pain. full of peace and trust.
The selfish, ''sordid, unloving and work.
a,day world can ill spare such man as
Archibald Smith. He was known either
personally or by reputation to some of
the readers of THE UNIvERsALIsT; and
this word is written for their sake. and
for the worlds sake-that others may be
moved to emulate a noble example.
AUGUSTA j. CHAPLIN.

sight are not present, instinct, hope
and love build for the future. Living
organisms enjoy the building and al
so enjoy the life for which the build
ing provides. The natural world is
designed and adapted to give enjoy
ment to its living population.
Spring is time of quickening and
resurrection. The dormant life of
nature begins to move. Apparently
dead shrubs, trees and plants are
quickened into new life and clothed
in new beauty. Bud, blossom, flower
and fruit mark the stages of the liv-
ing resurrection. New forms of life
and beauty spring up in field and
garden, forest and meadow. The
hills and valleys are clothed in ver-
dure, and bloom into new color and
fragrance. Nature puts on her beau
tiful garments and begins the work
of a new year. 1t is new life quick
ening the pulses of the old world, and
dressing nature in new garments. It
is life from the GOODNESS and death of
winter, that begins to pulse and throb
and work 10 all nature, giving us
new world. Old things pass away
and all things become new.
The summer comes with warm
glances and bright beams as fulfilling
the prophecy of spring. The seasons
observe natural and uniform order.
They are under the control of natural
law. Order is the law of reason, and
the ordained order of the seasons
shows as present and working in ma
ture rational mind. 1t is this rational
order, this law of constancy in the
seasons, which adapts the physical
environment of man to his nature and
wants. 1t is the ground of scientific
and practical provision and forecast
without which man would be helpless,
amidst the clashing forces and war
ring elements of the universe.
Nature is old, but ever new. The
same, but always different constant
in perpetual change unit in in
finite diversity and variety. Nature
is constant in universal change, be-
cause the God of nature, while immu-
table in principle, is ever varying the
forms in which he reveals himself.
Beauty of form reveals beauty in the
thought that produces the form, and
natural beauty reveals beauty in the
thought and character of God.
The unity of nature reveals the
unity of God, and the variety of ma
ture reveals his infnity. No two
things in the universe are precisely
alike. God never repeats himself, but
reveals new thought in everything
he makes. This boundless variety,
and endless diversity in nature shows
the infinite reserved force in the God
of the universe. Nature does not ex-
haust God. While he dwells in and
works through, he is above nature,
and in the infinitude of his being
vastly transcends all forms of force
and life which nature manifests to
the minds of men.
This reserved force is a rational
ground of faith, confidence, and
trust in God, at all times, on all &C.
casions, and under all circumstances.
He is God at hand and not afar off.
Ever willing, ready and able to bless.
Then we should look to him for help
in every time of need with the assur-
ance that he will not fail US.
