THE DIVINE PURPOSE.
BY REV. CARL F. HENRY.
BENTON HARBoR. Mich.

The distinguishing doctrine of our
church is the belief that in the good
Fathers own time and way all evil
will be utterly destroyed, that "Christ
shall reign until he has put all enc
mics underneath his feet;" that "the
tabernacle of God is with men, and
he shall dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God him
self shall be with them, and be their
God, and he shall wipe away every
tear from their eyes; and death shall
be no more; neither shall there be
mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any
more," for these things shall have
passed away that God may be all in
all.
1t is this faith in the ultimate COM
plete triumph of love and holiness
that distinguishes our church from
the rest. Others believe in the
Fatherhood of God. and so do we,
though they decline to accept the
logical conclusion of that tenet, viz:
that God will treat all men in
fatherly manner; others profess to
believe in the universal brotherhood
of man, and so do we, though they
think that one brother can be happy
in heaven, while another is being
tortured in hell others believe in
the spiritual leadership of Jesus, and
so do we; their sacred book is our
sacred book. Concerning these mat
ters, though there is by no means a
uniformity of opinion, there are simi-
larities in doctrine and not a slight
degree of agreement.
But in our conception of the divine
purpose there is marked disagree
ment. They believe that evil will be
forever perpetuated, that pain and
sin will never end, that some enemies
of the Son of Man will not be put be-
meath his feet, that forever and for
ever there will be pestiferous moral
cesspool or some other kind of
plague spot where the wicked will
curse and shout blasphemies to the
brazen sky and tester in sin for all
eternity.
We believe that in the fullness of
time all the causes of human suffer
ing shall cease that the wise and
holy God has committed no blunders;
that he created no soul fer an etern-
ity of sin; that the scoffers and bias
phemers and drunkards and thieves
and murders will be brought to re-
pentarce and acceptance of the truth;
that the darkness of pain and sin
shall be dispelled by the Sun of
Righteousness, who has healing in
his wings, and that the glory of the
Lord shall cover the earth as the wa
ters cover the sea. We believe that
"in the Lord shall all the seed of Is
rael be justified and shall glory"
This is the characteristic doctrine Of
our church. On it we are organized
To this faith that Illuminated the
minds and swelled the hearts of our
fathers we owe our existence as a
church. For its general acceptance
we are set to labor. To what higher
purpose can we give our lives7 Oh,
blessed faith in the love and power
of the great God!-GOOd Iidings.

Is ORTHODOXY FALSE?
1t Must Be. if Universa1ism, a Religion
of Love, is True.-Unwarranted by
Bible Teachings
benton Harbor Palladium, March Is.

benton Harbor Palladium March 15.l
Rev. Geo. A. Sahlin preached the
concluding sermon of the doctrinal
series which has been in progress the
past few weeks, at the Universalist
church, Sunday evening, taking for
his subject: IF Universalism is
True, is Orthodoxy False?"
Mr.. Sahlin prefaced his lecture by
quoting from st. Paul: "For other
foundation can no man lay than that
which is laid in Jesus Christ and
the passages Immediately following.
He said in substance:
This foundation is one which each
man can build according to his in
dividual talents and understanding.
st. Paul says our work will be tried
and reyealed-revealed by fire. Some
orthodox people have taken this to
mean eternal punishment by fire, but
the apostle continuing says, eff the
works be evil the man shall suffer
loss but he himself shall be saved" !"
In communities as civilized as this,
little children have been told by or
thodox teachers that at least four
out of every five souls are doomed to
endless damnation; that God is the
creator of all these souls and yet he
permits four-fifths of them to suffer
eternally. This strange doctrine is
responsible for the Universalist
faith. The earlier Universalists ac-
cepted in part the Calvinist doctrine
of foreordination except they took the
position that God elected to save all
men instead of only small number
of them, certainly much more rea-
sonable proposition.
Not one of the doctrines of ortho-
doxy can be maintained by a
thorough, conscientious study of the
Bible. If you break but one link in
the chain of orthodox theology the
whole fabric falls to pieces. Men of
biblical learning are unanimous in
saying that the Bible does not de-
clare eternal punishment. Christen-
dom in the mass is not reading the
Bible. The epeople depend too much
on the supposed knowledge of their
teachers concerning it. The revised
version, which was compiled by the
leading Bible students of the world
to correct manifest errors in the King
James version is not accepted by
some creeds, who cling to the old
version, the version of error, crying,
"Let us have the old rather than the
new"
Such extreme conservatism finds a
counterpart in the Chinese empire;
for what is creed but Chinese wall
of exclusion around the intellects of
those that go within3 Upon what
did Jesus build? Upon the eternal
love of God which stands as the
eternal motive for all mems lives.
He died upon the cross that he might
espouse a truth that would lead all
men to righteousness. Those who
forget God are the ones to whom
the Gospel is directed and whom
Jesus came to save.
We read in history of a heathen
image containing fire within, in whose
arms little children were sacrificed.
We all instinctively say the religion
that permits such sacrifice is terrible,
yet how much better than this hea-
then image does the creed make its
God when it admits that he desired
to save all and is able to save, yet
knowingly permits the greater num-
ber to go away into everlasting pun

THE OOMFoRTINGs OF GOD.*

in the tax budget for next year. The
legislature Of 1895 passed a law allow
ing the city councils of cities of not
less than 100000 or more than 165, 900
to fix the salaries of city officers as
soon as the terms Of the present In
cumbents of the offices had expired.
Under this law the council reduced
the salaries of all the heads Of de-
partments from 20 to to 10 per cent.
Those affected by the reduction were
the city clerk city engineer, members
of the board Of public works, city
treasurer, chief of police, judges and
clerks of the municipal court, city at
torney and three assistants. The su-
preme court having affirmed the de-
cision Of Judge Willis, who held in the
Bowe case that the law was unconSt1-
tutional by reason Of it's being special
legislation, those of the city officers
affected by the reduction resolution
can, if they desire, get back pay at
the rate allowed them by the charter.
It was stated yesterday by one of the
city officials that, perhaps, none OF the
city officials would have the nerve to
ask for refund at the old rate. This,
however, is mere conjecture and very
improbable. City Comptroller McCar-
dy, asked about the amount due the
city officer who suffered by the reduc-
ton, said about $4,000 would be requir-
ed to pay the difference and this
amount would probably be placed in
the tax budget for next year. 1t was
not necessary, he said, for the city Of
ficers to draw differences in salaries
unless they felt like it.

The supreme court also renders a de-
cision in which it untangles many Of
the difficulties in which the Northern
Trust company, of Minneapolis. has
become involved. In 1896, G. E. Max
well, who, as receiver of a corporation,
had deposited funds with the trust
company, brought suit to have the as
sets of the trust company sequestered
for the benefit Of the creditors. w. N.

a third receiver, entered a protest
against allowing Carroll to conduct the
proceedings for the enforcement of the
double liability on the ground that, as
a stakeholder in the trust company, he
was an improper person to bring such
an action. The decision Of the lower
court is affirmed.

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
IN THE SUIT OF a. e.
BOWIE.
SALARY REDUCTION IN 1895
OF THE SPECIAL LEGISLA-
TION CLAUSE.
WILL OFFICIALS GRAB 1T ALL.
One Of Them Thinks the Fraternity
VIII BE Too Modest to Claim
Back Pay.

The supreme court yesterday decided
that ex-Assistant City Attorney Bowe
is entitled to his salary at the rate of
$1,000 a year during his time Of service,
the 1895 law authorizing st. PauPs city
council to fix salaries being knocked
out
The decision, by Justice Canty, is
applied only to this office, however,
and, in the opinion, it. is expressly
stated that the law is not unconsti-
tutional simply because st. Paul hap
pens to be the only city in that class,
but because it is an alleged general
law, passed on special legislation and
liable to become special in it's effect,
and then it would be unconstitutional,
and it is held that a law which is liza
BILE to become unconstitutional is so
at the time it is passed A law can
not be held constitutional today and
unconstitutional tomorrow, or at some
future time. 1t is stated that the act
is not complete in itself, but refers to
the st. Paul charter, a special law,
for limitation upon the powers of the
city council That charter fixes the
salary at $1,000, while the attempt was
to reduce it to 1,0S0. The court ex-
pressly states that it is not called
upon to consider whether the" law is
void, as a whole or in part, as applied
to the other offices. The office of sec
ond assistant city attorney is not of
the law, wherein other offices are
enumerated. The syllabus of the de-
cision says: -ts So
First-Held, as applied to the Office of sec
ond assistant attorney of st. Paul. chapter
242, Laws of 1895, is special legislation, and
is unconstitutional and void by reason of it's
being based partly special legislation so
as to render it special in its operation and
effect; and it gave the common council Of
St. Paul no authority to reduce the salary
attached to that Office below the amount fixed
by the city council.
Second-The plaintiff accepted that office
after the city council had so attempted to
reduce the salary of the same and received
his salary at the rate to which it was so at
tempted to be reduced.
Held, he is not thereby estopped from
claiming the balance of the salary as fixed
by the charter. The order of the district
court awarding Mr.. Bowe pay at the rate
of 81 200 per year Is affirmed.
The decision means that from SIS, 900
to $4,000 additional will have to be
placed in the city officers salaries fund

BARBARA JOYCE WINS.
Her Street Railway Damage Verdict
Held Not Excessive.

Held Not EXcessiVe.
The court affirms the verdict which
awarded BarbaraJoyce damages in the
sum of $1,000 for injuries sustained by
falling from the trailer of Como car.
1t was claimed by the plaintiff that
she boarded the car while it was
standing still at Tenth and Wabasha
streets. She was the last one of
crowd to step onto the platform, and
as she did So she asked the conductor
if that was a Rice street car. He re-
piled that it was a Como car, and she
says she attempted to step off, when
the conductor gave the motorman the
bell, and the car started, throwing her
to the pavement.
The court states that there is con-
siderable evidence to show that the
woman stepped aboard the car, after
it had started, but it is not conclusive
The verdict for 1000 is also stated to
be large, but not so excessive as to call
for interference, on the part of the SUI
preme court, and the order of the
lower court. denying a new trial, Is
affirmed. -

presence of the jury. There had been
altogether too much promise and too
little performance.
Mr. Anderson-The defense will see
before the state finishes that every
promise made will be fulfilled.
In a statement made to the court,
after objection by defendant Mr. An
derson stated that he would show that
Hazel M. Bicllel never had an account
at the bank that she drew checks in
large amounts on the bank, payable to
different persons, and that these were
the items which the witness said
Bickel told him to have charged on the
debit slips.
Mr.. Anderson continued identifying
the checks of Hazel NJ. Bickel, after
the noon recess, through Witness Helm
lein. Mr. Butler took exception to eX-
hibits' identification, and was over
ruled by the court. There were TWEEN
ty-six of the Hazel NJ. Bickel checks
produced by the state, the amounts
running as high as $135.
After the state reached its eighty
seventh exhibit, which was memo
randum slip upon which the amounts
of the defendants checks were entered
MI Butler again interposed his objeC
ton to the witness testifying concern
ing the transferring of the totals from
the memorandum slip to the debit Slip
in the cash drawer.
The county attorney explained that
there were three things that entered
into the transaction. First, the checks
that the defendant drew and which
were paid; second, the memorandum
slips upon which the totals of the
checks were entered, and the debit
slip in the cash drawer to which the
totals were transferred. The state con-
tended that it was not necessary to
offer all these checks and slips in evil
dence before the witness could be
questioned concerning them.
Mr.. Butler insisted that the witness
could not identify the memorandum
slips showing the checks paid, nor tell
the dates on which they were paid, and
therefore was not a competent wit
ness.
Mr.. HeinIein, in answer to the coun-
ty attorney, said that he had no recOl-
lection of making out any memoran-
dunn slip containing that particular
amount other than that slip shown to
him. On ss-eXamination, Mr.. Helm
lein admitted that until the slips were
shown to him in. the trial he did not
remember having made out those slips,
that is as to the figures and amounts.
The witness, according to his best
Judgment, transferred the total from
the memorandum slip to the debit slip.
AS the checks came in he pinned them
to the memorandum slip.
The state continued questioning the
witness concerning exhibits So, SO, 80,
81 and go, which consisted of memo
randum slips. and debit and credit
slips. Mr. Butler reiterating his OBJ
jections to the testimony, on the
ground that the witness was not COM
petent to testify concerning the same.
At O'Clock court adjourned until 10
a. M next Monday, with Mr.. Heinlein
still on the stand.

by which they were to form corpora
ton Nevins, as his share of the capt.
tai, was to put in several inventions
on which he held patents, against $5,OOO
in cash held by Finn, and they were
to assume control of the corporation.
Nevins was to have 100000 of the
stock and Finn $150,000.
The supreme court holds that the dis
crepancy between the par value OF the
stock and the amount paid for it was
so great as to warrant the assumption
of fraud.
The CHIEF justice in deciding this
case makes some interesting rulings
with regard to watered stock. 1t is:

charged in favor of creditor who became
such after the stock was issued, with the diff
ference between the par value of the stock
and the amount paid the corporation therefor,

itor's claims.
g. Section 3415, General Statutes 1894. con-
strued and held that it does not authorize
