A committee of the Senate has reported
fayorably the immigration bill which
was vetoed by President Cleveland and
will urge its passage The report con-
tains some late and interesting data as
to the illiteracy of the class of immi-
grants which has increased in such large
proportion during the last few years. 1t
shows that the proportion of the immi-

the reports of various consuls abroad are
given, in which they show that the large

A Golden Wedding After Death.

A remarkable ceremony took place
recently at Marylebone Church, London,
the celebration of the golden wedding
of Robert Browning, the poet, and Eliza
beth Barrett Browning, his gifted wife,
both of whom long since went to their
last resting places. The event would
have been unique in the case of any
man and woman; but it was of deeper
significance on account of the high po-
sition that Mr.. and Mrs. Browning occu-
pied in the realm of English literature.
The invitation to the ceremony took
the form of fac-simile of the entry in
the parish register of Marylebone Of the
marriage of the happy pair on Septem-
Der II. 1916. while on the back of it were
portraits of Mr.. and Mrs. Browning
verses from their works, and picture of
the church. On the invitation card was
also printed passage from the life of
the poet, showing that, on each succeed
ing visit to London with his devoted
wife, he commemorated his fortunate
union by visiting the church in which
the marriage was solemnized and kiss

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION The Church in Jerusa-
lem, under the new born impulse of
brotherhood, attempted to continue the
voluntary communism which had been
practiced by Jesus and the Twelve. The
system failed, and our lesson tells us how
its failure began.
% V. 1880. ALL THINGS IN Com
MoN.-The spirit of fraternity was re-
vived by the first victory of the NAME OF
CHRIST, over the Sanhedrim. An Eden
state of the church followed. The at
tempt to equally share in the common
worldly fortune of the church was 1st,
voluntary I'd, limited, the members
Withholding from the common fund at
will; 3D., not adapted to general practice
because (a) it fails to develop CHRISTIAN
INDIVIDUALITY, and (b) because it invites
assault of all the numerous progeny Of
Ananias. The story of Barnabas is told
as contrast to the story of Ananias.
ca V. 1-2 The SIN OF ANANIAs.-
He was envious of Barnabas. He hoped i,
by selling his lands and giving a portion
tending to give all, to become famed for
generosity. His wife Sapphire approved
his scheme. He may have expected also
to gain his livelihood thereafter from the
common fund. --Ananias sinned, not in
Withholding part of his property, but in
falsely pretending to give all. He was
double minded. He gave or pretended to
give to be seen of men.
49, V. 3-12. The JUDGMENT ON An
ANIAs.-When he appeared before the
church with what he falsely declared to
be the full price of his estate, he was
known by the apostles to be lying hypo-
critic. Peter showed Ananias to himself.
The shock to the sinners spirit became
fatal bodily sickness. He had no longer
courage to live.-His wife, because she
shared her husbands sin, shared his
terrible judgment
The community of the Jerusalem
church is, let it be observed, in sharp
distinction from all attempts at commune
ty of property by force. To GIVE, is
Christian to oovET is immoral,
The communal principle, which
those early Christians tried to exemplify,
is now largely embodied in our common
law. The rich and strong are rightly
COMPELLED, in some degree, to bear the
burdens of the poor and weak.
The impulse of fraternity needs to
be again revived in the church; the prin-
ciple of common interest should more fully
pervade business. We are all of one
family.
Strive in the spirit of your life, to
be Barnabas, not an Ananias. Be hon
est be utterly unselfish in your generosity
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-01-30

Where there is light there will
also be shadow. Where God builds a
church. the devil builds at its side a
chapel. Where the divine husbandman
sowed good seed, the enemy afterwards
sowed tares. There was traitor among
the disciples of Jesus; a hypocrite in the
bosom of the primitive church. Such a
form. sincerity and hypocrisy side by
side. the visible church at all times as
eumes. And since both good and evil
men are at all times to be found in the
visible church. God has caused record
Of good and evil example to be made; the
former to edify. the latter to warn u.s.

risy did not thrive in the infant church

Monument to Wesley.

The Methodists of England have come
to the conclusion that worthie- monu-
ment than that which now marks the
resting place of John Wesley should be
erected over his tomb in the graveyard
behind the historic chapel where he
preached. It is almost amusing to learn
that, having so decided. the question Of
how to raise the necessary funds gave
them not the slightest difficulty. it hav-
ing been solved by directing the Rev.
William j. Brown. the clergy man now
in charge of the Wesley chapel. to visit
the United States and Canada and OBJ
tain subscriptions for the requisite
amount. Doubtless America both can
and will supply the money, but it is just
little queer that an English denomina-
ton so strong and rich should ask aid in
a matter in which their direct interest
is much greater than that of their West
ern brothers. 1t isn't problem of
much consequence. however. and Mr..
Brown will have pleasant as we'll as
successful trip. The tomb in which
Wesley now lies was erected more than
fifty years ago at the expense of minis
tiers of the Wesleyan church. In 1890,
the centenary of Wesley's death, the
building of more substantial monu-
ment was one of the objects contemplated
by the commemorative gathering. The
sum of e15,S0O was then raised. but all
this, with $4,000 more, has been ex-
pended in restoring the old chapel

Mrs. Grswold's story is well adapted for
home reading and Sunday-school libraries.
The scene of he story is laid in Wisconsin
early in the. 4O's, and it traces the history of
young girl, from childhood to womanhood un-
folding the steps of her intellectual develop
ment, and her growth into a noble character.
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young. and will be es-
peciay interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In" Waiting on Destiny the author provides
for gill readers a wel-wriiten and healthful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure ana elevating,
