mer, or inferno with another name.
In Jesus Christ the forces of heaven
are concentered, and the amazing
feature of his life is that, while he
was perfect himself and needed not
to weep for his own acts, he was made
wretched and distressed by the un-
virtuous lives of others. He lived and
even died because of his tender
solicitude for a wayward world. So
also the chief characteristic of Gods
action is his concern for human wei
fare. That affection which causes
him to create men is a perfect
guarantee of their salvation. And
man himself, the image OF God, finite
and imperfect as he may be, can in no
wise bind his sympathies that they
go not into the sphere of the unsaved.
The reason that the earth today
suffers from the cankerous presence
of those who choose darkness rather
than light, is that it is yet imperfect
in its concern for the brother astray.
Inmates of the darkened sphere are
there because of the circumstances of
several generations over which they
have no control, and of themselves
are unable to break the chain that
binds them. They shall be distress
to themselves and to the world, a
plague, until this fundamental char
acteristic of heaven has taken posses
sion on earth. There is hope, aye,
surety, for all, as long as heaven rests
on this foundation. The heat from
this center shall burn all barriers
away.
Men have also failed of being suf-
ficiently impressed by that second
and no less important law of God,
that right is right and wrong is
wrong This law is the very foun-
dation of all life and everywhere per-
vades the universe. 1t has power in
itself to sift the evil from men, de-
throne Satan, the personification of
evil, and to shake the very walls Of
hell. 1t makes impossible the doc
trine of total depravity, for who low
ing wrong and acting in it. can make
its awful consequences less or have
life under its downpour of fire? 1t
macs Satan cast out Satan it
throne and kingdom are abolished.
1t reaches the domain of the damned
and with its excessive heat consumes
the fame already there, offering the
only way of escape, until the place
exists no more. 1t makes everlasting
punishment impossible, for in ODE
dience to it alone do Gods creatures
find comfort and delight"

THE MISSOURI CONVENTION.

THE Thirtieth Annual Session of the
Missouri Universalist Convention was
held at Ashley, Pike Co., Oct. 14-17.
1897. The place of meeting was the
comfortable little church recently
bought. repaired and re-dedicated by
the Church of the Redeemer. our brave
little band of believers in the famous
old county at Pike. The first session
was opened by Rev. John Hughes. of
Table Grove. ILL.,, who is pastor of this
church. About forty delegates had as
sembled and at 1870 song service was
enjoyed closed by an earnest prayer by
Mr.. Hughes for divine guidance aud
aid in the work to be done.
Miss Ora B. Crow gave most pleas
ing address of welcome. In it she
stated that Univerealism was first
preached in Ashley in 1851, by Rev. E.
Manford, who took for his text the
sublime declaration, God is Love-"
The children and grandchildren of those
who listened to Manford on that occa.
sion and believed he taught the true
doctrine of salvation, were glad to vel.

modest, but dear, church home.
President Littlefield being absent. the
secretary. Mrs. Martin. made brief re-
spouse, and read tie presidents letter
of sincere regret, that matters beyond
his control made it impossible to attend
meeting to which be had looked for
ward for months. After brief inter-
mission, during which the delegates be-
came acquainted, Mr.. Hughes took his
place in the pulpit and preached help
full sermon on Growth.

The Secretary's report was then read.
1t showed that while there had been
less of definite work accomplished dui :
ing the year just closed Than usual, still
there had been steady growth in all
the parishes in the state. There had
been season of recuperation, before
undertaking the great work of aiding
the Kansas City parish to build a
church. Ten parishes were reported
where regular services were held. The
bond of unity that had enabled the con-
vention to do so valuable work was
never more perfect. Isolated believers
had stood true and given generously to
advance the cause they loved. About
three hundred dollars had passed
through the hands of the secretary.
The report of the treasurer. DIR. h.
GIllaspy, formerly Of LaPIata, now Of
Nevada, Mo, was then read and with
the Secretary's report passed into the
hands of the committee on auditing.

DR.. Shinn was promptly called to the
front and gave q few words of greeting
to Missouri Universalists from whom he
had been absent an entire year.

Hull House is situated at the cor
ner of Polk and Halstead streets, in
the nineteenth ward-one of the
worst districts Of Chicago. Its in
habitants are chiefly foreigners.
Irish, Bohemian Scandinaviaus, Rus.
slams, Germans, and Italians, ne
groes and various other nationalities.
This district includes, on the one
hand, class of criminals the most
openly fragrant and vicious in the
world, and, on the other, the poorest
and perhaps the most degraded class
in Chicago. There are eighty one sa-
looms within a few blocks, besides
other places where liquor is sold.
In the midst of this human sahara
stands Hull House, veritable oasis
of social, intellectual, moral and
spiritual life. The house was built
in 1856 by q. j. Hull. 1t stood then
apart in its grove of oak trees one of

TIE BIG GUN ARREST

State Game Detectives Smart and
Miller on Monday evening arrested a
man by the name of Williams living
at Hogg Point, on the Gunpowder
River, about mile and a half below
the railroad bridge, charged with
having big gun" in his possession.
The ducking law, which was prepared
by the attorneys of the rich ducklng
clubs who have taken up nearly all OF
the best shooting shores on both
rivers, prohibits any one from having
one of these big guns in his posses
sion. Many of the poorer people have
made living by killing ducks for
market, in this manner, and while we
do not countenance the violation of
any law, yet we do feel that the poor
have rights as well as the rich, and in
this case all citizens with few excep-
tions will sympathise with this man
and consider the detectives were en-
tirely too over-zealous in enforcing
the law as there was no positive proof
of any violation of the gun clubs edicts
outside of having the gun i'll his
possession.
