A HOT CAMPAIGN.
The ColonePs Grand Coup Spoiled
by a Rustie's Match.

Il came within an ace of going to
Congress not very long SINCE" declared
the Colonel, who did not look as though
the slip had discouraged him or made
him reckless.
I was among the South Dakota
pioneers and favored with a political
following almost as large as it was
aggressive. After getting my assent,
which was to be had for the asking
some of my friends secured me a nomi-
nation to Congress. 1t was a close dis
trict, and my opponent was a rustler,
who made every lick count. We met
him all along the line, and gave him
as good as he sent. But our chief re-
lance was a damaging expose we in
tended making on the eve of election,
for he was a vulnerable citizen. and
very much alive to the fact. My home
organ did yeoman service, and had all
the copy with which to spring the
grand coup. The edition had to be out
two days before election in order to
reach the outer counties, for we had
poor mail service.
I was right there in the office to see
that the work was done on time. It
was as hot then as it ever gets in
South Dakota. That means that the
eavepipes melted, the shingles curled,
and the grass shriveled. In the office
was cannon stove, three feet in diam
eter and five feet tall. During the
warm weather it had not been in COM
mission and was stuffed full of papers
from breech to muzzle. 1t must have
held about wagonload of compressed
fuel. While we We're flying around like
a lot of molders running off a heat, a
long specimen of the region wandered
in, lit his pipe, and threw the uneon-
sumed match into the stove

About two years ago he went to Peru and

coast it is $50 miles. Port Mallenda, the
coast town, is about 500 miles south of

In a former article we have al
luded to Universities of opinion" ex-
listing among US at the time of the
adoption Of THE Winchester Pro-
fession," and have shown how these
diversities were made an objection to
Universalism by the early writer's
against our faith. What effect this
had on the Convention of 1903 and
what significance it gives to the
phraseology of the profession of
Faith" is manifest by the fact that
in the preamble to it the convention
set forth the fact that "some diver
sites of opinion exist" as one of the
reasons why they "think it expedient
to record and publish that Profess
sion of Belief which we agree in as
essential" And they plainly declare,

RECOMMENDATIONS BASED GN EX-
PERIENOE.
BY REV. t. s. GUTHRIE, D. D.

d. Years of experience has dem
onstrated to the writer, that no min
lister should dictate to his church or
any member thereof. We can recon-
mend in all things, but dictate in
none. The pastor may desire to
change the hour of his services or the
time of the meeting of the Sunday
school, and he may be right in his
judgment, having more thought on
the subject than anyone else; still
how easy it would be for him to con-
suit with the fraternity or recommend
such and such changes.
CD The pastor cannot afford to
decide any dispute that may arise
between members of his church.
If the pastor is presiding at an
business meeting and discussion
grows warm and in the vote there is
tie the pastor cannot afford to de-
eide, He needs to summons all his
strength, which he cannot do, in the
event that he is party to any di-
vision.
(3.) On the subject of amusements
great care should be used by the
minister. He should think twice
and speak once. But one thing is
true, he cannot afford to be partici-
pant. If he plays cards he uses the
gamblers tools, and if he dances, at
least one half of his congregation
will not approve, and in either case
he looses his ministerial dignity.
a. The minister has no business
to tell stories or use conundrums that
SAVIOR of indecency. No one should
be continued in the Universalist
ministry who uses profane or in
decent language.
o. 1t is customary at church fairs
to take chances on various articles,
the object of which is to increase the
church treasury, and that too on the
grounds that the end will justify the
means. Now, whatever may be the
faith of the clergyman on this point
he cannot afford to participate.
The church prides on their pastors
purity.
Co., Spiritualism lifts its head up in
most of our societies and none of us
knows how much truth or falsity it
may contain. 1t might be we'll for
us to take no part in its discussion, nor
visit seance or supposed seance,
as no possible good can come to us
through utilization Herewith. Uni
versalism unadulterated is good
enough for the writer of these few
lines.

" BIRTHSTONE CORNER" BOSTON.

The Outlook heaves a gentle sigh
over the probable passing of Park
Street church, in Boston, commonly
known as Birthstone Corner" This
church, which is situated at the
corner OF fremont and Park streets
got its cognomen from a sermon by
one of it's early pastors, Rev. DR.
Griffin, of whose oratory the epithet
Birthstone Corner" is a sufficient
reminder.
The church was erected in 1910, at
a cost of about $4,000, and with it's
fine spire and commanding situation
has been kind of landmark in Bos-
ton ever since, much as the "cor-
ner- bookstore" was to the literary
guild. The church was organized
by members of the Old South, which
few years ago narrowly escaped
the fate that now threatens the Park
Street church. 1t has had many
eminent divines as its pastors, in
GLIDING Rev. j. L. Withrow, DID,, of
this city, and has always been noted
for its missions and evangelical work.
The appreciation of land in this part
of the city is the factor at work against
Birthstone Corner" and if it is pre-
served it will be at a struggle to the
Bostonian heart.
The Bostonians are patriotic and
mindful of literary and historic asso-
tiations. and it is to be hoped this
old landmark will be preserved, for
however unpleasantly suggestive
Birthstone Corner" may be, it typi-
fies phase of New England relig-
ious thought inseparable from early
Boston history.
The Boston of to-day does not
take much interest in" birthstone" as
a religious adjunct, and on this ac-
count may be inclined to sacrifice
the old Park Street church. On the
other hand Boston religiously vene-
rates anything that is old, and if it
goes back to colonial days, it becomes
invaluable. Between these two con-
Hcting sentiments the Bostonian is
now rent, and the issue of the conflict
as regards birthstone Corner" is It
least doubtful.
In one sense the Park Street church
has long lost its earlier significance.
As regards dogma, the Bostonian is
much like the Englishman. Cardi-
nal Newman once said it took long
time to wind an Englishman up to
the level of dogma, and the same
may be said of the reverse process
as regards Bostonians. The Bosto-
Man, however, has at last descended
from level of dogma which now
seems to him as high as the spire of
Pard Street church. He now won
ders how he ever lived at that eleva.
ton and breathing that rarified at
mosphere. Religiously he has not
much in common with the founders
of Birthstone Corner" and this fact
may be bad for said corner. The
public, at least, will watch the out
come with interest.

and substitutes, to be in their turn
succeeded, mountaineering to any
thing more than needless discussion
and interference with the real inter-
ests of our church through an indefi-
mite length of time, otherwise result
less now and resultless always.
In future article we will consider
some of the positive statements of
the present Profession of Faith
which are and ought to be basal in
our belief, as also what we think are
mistaken and inconclusive objections
to its teachings.
