Why I Am q UniYersalist.

Christianity is the religion taught by
Jesus. Undoubtedly we are Christians
because we we're born in a Christian
land; and so, many of US are Universal
lists because we we're born into that
faith. But there is that other reason
we believe that of all other Christian
sects, Universalism is the one which
most truly comprehends Jesus teach
ings.
"We believe that there is God who
is infinite in power, wisdom, justice and
love: that he is the Father of all men,
and since he desires that his children
shall overcome evil and become perfect,
he will aid them by his wisdom. love and
truth, to this object"
We believe that there is one God, and
that Jesus was his child, as we are the
children of Gods divine nature; for
Jesus repeatedly declared his depend
ence on the Father as the source of his
inspiration and the object of his wor-
ship. Our belief concerning Jesus is
based upon the Scriptures, which we
hold, contain a revelation of the char
acter Of God, and of the duty, interest
and final destination of mankind."-

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT I. NJ. ATWOOD, D. d.

TIE discovery in Egypt Of a9ocumeat
containing the Greek text OF eight
logia, or sayings of Jesus, not found in
the gospels, has, of course. excited keen
interest among New Testament scholars.
The two great religious papers of New
York, the Sun and the Journal. have had
the Greek text and Prof. j. Rendel Har-
ris's translation cabled to this country.
Only seven of the eight are decipher-
able. Four of these are parallel in SEN
timent with sayings of Jesus recorded
in the gospels. The remaining three are,
on the surface, Of different import from
anything hitherto attributed to our
Lord. The inference is that they are
either inventions or distortions; but
Prof. B. w. Bacon. of Yale. makes in the
Independent, an ingenious and learned
but not wholly convincing plea for their
genuineness. We shall watch the course
of inquiry and discussion as to these
logia with interest
John Wanamaker has learned some
things by defeat which escaped him in
success, and is much saner as a critic of
his partys performances than he was as
its stalwart defender and unstinted
financial supporter. When he reminds
US that the foes America has to fear are
not the Turk the Spaniard, the Briton,
but 'our own patient and heart tired
people, our own suffering much prom.
ised people. who, betrayed and dis
heartened, no longer have faith in their
party" he is true prophet uttering the
Lords message to leaders whose ears
appear to be. stuffed with sugar. 1t is
the fashion. to explain Mr. Wana-
makers position by saying he has
grievance. Yes, he has; and it is real
grievance. Some sixty millions of peo.
pie are partners with him in his discon.

our exchanges of the religious press. that

THE SECRET OF Mr.. M0ODY'S
POWER.
BY JACOB sTRAUB. DID.

The recent visit of the evangelist,
Moody, to Chicago, affords many
topics of valuable reflection for the
religious world. No man in America
is his equal in touching the religious
heart and marshalling the religious
public. Whether they are in agree
ment with him throughout in relig-
ious thought or not, they are in invol-
untary touch with him on the great
theme of religious awakening which
is bis central purpose, and the resolve
for a renewal of consecration is for
the time irresistible. How enduring
this may be is unnecessary to ask,
especially by such as see the necess
ity of constant renewal of the means
of grace in order to salvation. That

We take pleasure In calling attention
to the advertisement of the Winchester
Repeating Arms COMPANY, which ap.
pears in our issue today. This far
famed house has the reputation the
world over of u sking the best guns and
amunition on the market. They charge
no more for their goods than is asked
for far inferior makes by smaller man
ufacturers. Buy Winchester goods al
ways and you will have something that t
can be relied upon.
Lamar Sparks: John O. Stream, the
nursery agent, informs the Sparks that
more fruit trees were purchased last
and this year by the new settlers
under the Amity canal than had been
sold in the county during the previous
five years. This indicates that the new
comers have money and are not afraid
to risk it in growing orchards. Five
years ago fruit trees were scarce 10 the
county. but today there is scarcely q
farm without growing orchard OF
from one to twenty acres. The fruit
tree industry promises to become an
important one in this part of the valley
soon.

Whatever may be said about the pub

who do not fully understand the facts,
there is no denying the truth that his
paper and Almanac haye come to stay.
His splendid journal, Word AND WeRKs,
is now entering its tenth year largely
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until ii deserves the ma
tional reputation it Las attained. His
1897 Almanac is now ready and is by
far the finest and most beautiful he has
yet issued IL contains l0S pages, in
Gliding cover artistically printed in col
ors, and is filled from back to back with
Just what is wanted in every shop, office
and home IN America. One feature Of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of II

with explanatory chapters, which conid

from the other varied and splendid iea-

three miles east and located it on
Fifth stIest. 1t will be occupied by
Mr.. Berdoe and family.
OF course in country like this trees
should be set out every day at this

yides that the third Friday in April,
which is next Friday, be observed as

J. L. Wilson bns his ground worked
up in the best shape for new ground of
any We have seen. After breaking and
disking it he plowed It again with a
stirring pIow going two inchos deeper
than the first time. This will give him
plenty of loose dirt with which to level
up his ground for irrigation. Ho is
