While the Greeks under Constantine
have proved that they are the prize re-
treaters, they certainly did at Domokos
demonstrate that they can fight with
skill and unexampled courage against
overwhelming numbers and under
grave disadvantages. That they with
stood the assaults of the Turkish army
an entire day at Domokos is, under all
circumstances, simply surprising.

TARIFF AND REVENUE.

a tariff that will yield more revenue
Our present tariff is not perfect, but it
is the greatest revenue producer since
the tariff of 1888. The revenue will be
less under the Dingley bill than it was

The blunderS of Legislatures are not
few nor of the excusable. In legisla-
ton there should be no such thing as
blundering, no matter how much Of
error of Judgment and unwisdom of
policy may prevail Two years ago
fornia passed an Act requiring all
rubbish, garbage, etc, gathered in cities
to be taken for disposal more than
half-mile from the exterior boundaries
in a cemetery" The intended word
was ''crematory,' but cemetery"
passed through all the examinations of
committees of both houses, the en-
crossing and enrolling clerks and the
Governors office without discovery.
Then when it had become a law another
Act had to be passed TO correct the
error. At the last session a Senator got
a bill through one reading that made
marriage a crime, when he intended
only to brace up the adultery law
The error was discovered. TO his
discontinue, by newspaper. Most
blunders Of this order are anus
ing. Some offend good taste, some
are examples of execrable gram
mar, some are notable as illustrative of
ignorance of the commonest essentials
of wise legislation. The Clarke road
law of the last session of our Legisla-
ture is an example. 1t went through
both houses and received the approval
of the Executive without anyone dis
covering that the bill provides for Dis
trict Boards and their successors, but
fails to provide for the election Of the
boards, thus leaving vacancies in Of
fees created, when the intention was
to have them filled by election reason
ably soon after the passage of the
law. 1t was clearly a blunder, an
oversight" is too mild a term. 1t
was a gross blunder to make the law
go into operation before it would be
possible TO hold first election for dis
trict officials, but this does not seem to
have dawned upon the lawmakers until
it was too late. But California is
not without company in this blunder-
ing work. In New Jersey this year a
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton went through the Legislature in
which the word provided" appears
when prohibited" was intended. This
has caused such legal complications
relative to gambling, which it was
sought to suppress, that the Governor
has been compelled to reconvene the
Legislature at great expense to have
the error corrected.

SUGGESTIONS ON CHURCH WORK.
BY MRS. E. E. sPAULDING.

We meet today as band Of or
ganized women, bearing the name
of THE Women's Universalist Asso-
citation" We are supposed to be
not only in sympathy with the prin-
ciples of the Universalist Church but
helpers in its lines ofwork.
To the honor of the Universalist
church let it be said that within its
borders woman has full freedom of
thought and action. If God has en-
dowed her with the ability to do
her brother does not say nay.
Now, can we this afternoon, sug-
gest any points which will be of as,
sistance to us in our lines of church
work?
For any individual or corporation
to work successfully two things must
be understood; First, what is the
object to be attained; second, what
are the means by which the efforts
can be made successful? To attempt
to answer these questions satisfac-
torily would occupy more time than
rightfully belongs to us. Hence we
will limit ourselves to two or three
points which to us appear sugges-
tive.
Under the present conditions of
society to maintain any work in any
line requires not only executive abili-
ty but financial aid. How to meet
the financial demands necessary to
maintain church, whether it be one
whose pastor receives mere pittance,
or one whose music alone costs
thousands of dollars, has often proved
to the church trustees a horrible
nightmare.
If churches could only realize that
our Lord is not exacting as to the
style of architecture, or the costliness
of the environments of his house of
worship many a needless sacrifice
and heart ache would be spared. If
added to this knowledge there was
the right appreciation OF benefits re-
ceived, and the responsibilities in
Cured by receiving those benefits,
we think it would go far toward
solving the problem of our church
finances.
To our mind no one can live in
town or country where the Gospel is
preached without becoming it's debt.
or. He may never cross the thresh-
hold of the sanctuary; he may never
place his foot on the consecrated
ground; he may always pass by on the
other side-in fine he may denounce
it in unmeasured terms, yet work

the rank and file of our ministers, or

cations which have no objections of

afavorite pastorto become dissatisfied.
And although my not being a cham
pion of "a purely ethical creed may
perhaps disqualify me to some ex-
tent, yet l confess l am unable to per
ceive the high ethical quality of the
action of a minister who assents to a
creed in order to obtain fellowship,
and then subverts or consents to the
subversion of that creed by the par
ish of which he is pastor.
And as the Winchester Profession
is at present constitutionally the
basis of our fellowship and our or
ganization, it would look as if par
ishes setting it aside, ipso facto, put
themselves out of fellowship, and sew
er themselves from the denomination,
and that such ministers and par
ishes are not legally entitled to seats
or to representation in our conven-
tions, state or general, and that
where this is permitted it may vitiate
the action taken by the conventions
and thus effect pro,erty interests. |
do not urge thisxss personal matter
merely, but as constitutional and
legal question which is at least
worthy of serious consideration. At
least they should not decide this
question of creed for us.
At all events we must consider the
present as most serious and highly
critical (no pun intended) time for
our church. We seem to stand at
the parting of the ways. In which
direction shall we proceed? What

"As ye SOW, so shall ye reap"
The social life of a church is a
strong factor in its becoming success
full. Form this age the church thought
has become much modified, and to
select a church home from loyalty to
its principles is, we fear, not so COM
mon as to consider it's social advan-
tages.
We have always admired the cour-
age and the loyalty to religious con-
victions which led man who, occupy
ing public position in town where
church preferences had much to do
with personal popularity, to exclaim,
IL will go to the Universalist church
if it meets in a barn and if it costs
me my position!"
Not many profess such heroism.
The spirit or desire for sympathy
and companionship is strong in hui
man nature. Hence the more gener-
GUS the sympathy. the more gracious
the courtesy, the stronger the social
influence, the greater will be the
power of the church to extend its
borders.
Recently we have had in Pasadena
an innovation in regard to the meet
ing of the Woman's League. We had
been accustomed to holding our
meetings in the church parlor, but a
few months ago it was suggested by
one of the members, who is always on
the alert to broaden the church inhu-
ence, that we should meet once a
month in the home of some one of
the members. The suggestion found
immediate favor and the result has
been very happy. A delightful So
cial afternoon has been enjoyed, mem
berships have increased and the
president has received more invita-
tions for the League than she can &C.
cept.
We wish that we were able to i'm
press upon the minds of the owners
OF beautiful homes, as well as those
of palmer ones, the power that they
possess to strengthen and to widen
the influence of their church, by op-
ening their doors and giving a hearty
welcome, not only to their especial
friends. but to the church and it's
friends. Then again, the stronger the
social influence, the more ready are
the youths and maidens to become
helpers, and without the young where
is the hope of the church,
To sum up these suggestions, per-
hitting the young to have some finan-
cial responsibility, training them in
to habits of systematic paying mot
calling it giving) for values received,
to consider work honorable, the dis
grace lying only in its ill perform
ance, cultivating the social spirit of
the church-there are points, which
can we not, as mothers of households
or members of our association, bring
to higher degree of development
and thus prove ourselves to be true
helpers?
