THE NATURE OF OHRIST'S
COMING.

PARoUsIA, the word translated
coming, in the phrase coming of
Christ, or the Son of Man, means
something more than merely coming
from one place to another, as coming
from Boston TO Chicago for instance.
1t hardly implies, it certainly does
not necessitate any movement what
ever. One may possess a PdrOusia
without going anywhere. The word
literally means being present es-
pecially to aid or assist and might
be translated "helpful presence 3"
The New Version" uniformly gives
in the margin presence" as the true
meaning of the Greek. 1t occurs
only four times in the Gospels and
every time in the Oath of Matthew,
though it is found some twenty times
in the Epistles. What the disciples
inquired about therefore, was not
about any movement of the Saviour,
as his coming from heaven to earth,

THE CHICAGO DECLARATION.

The 'Boston Proposition, as amended
nd adopted at Chicago, reads as follows:
'sThat Article III, Section 1, of the Laws
of Organization for the Universalist
Church be amended by emitting the words,
of the Profession of Faith, and
THAT in the Constitution of the Gen
eral Convention a new article be inserted
after Article II. which shall read as fol-
lows: Article III. Greed and Conditions OF
Fellowship: l. The Profession of Faith
adopted by this body at its session at
Winchester, N. H., A. d. 1903, is as fol-
ows: Here the words of the Profession.
2. The conditions of fellowship in this
Convention shall be as follows:
/. 1.-THE acceptance of the essential
principles of the Universalist Faith, to-
wit: The Universal Fatherhood of God
The spiritual authority and leadership of
His Son Jesus Christ; The trustworthi-
ness of the Bible as containing a reevla-
ion from God; The certainty of retribu-
ion for sin; The final harmony of all souls
with God. The Winchester Profession is
commended as containing these principles,
but neither this nor any other precise orm
of words is required as a condition of fell
owship, provided always that the princi-
pies above stated be professed
II. THE acknowledgment of the au-
hority Of the General Convention and as
emit to its laws.
tThat Article III. as formerly numbered
in the Constitution be hereafter numbered
~. and that Section 2 therein be omitted,
and that the other sections and articles
be numbered accordingly"

of the Coming in the clouds OF
heaven with power and great glory"
How could this be said of a bodily
coming? In the light of Scripture
usage bow can any one imagine that
this means visible, bodily coming
in the clouds? If SO, then when
Isaiah says, Behold the Lord rideth
on swift cloud and shall come into
Egypt" he means that the Almighty
was going into Egypt literally riding,
in visible form, on swift CLOUD.
Evidently this is poetic imagery and
is not to be taken literally. So with
the words under consideration.
They are highly figurative and are
used to set forth the greatness and
glory of his spiritual presence. Christ
is doing here just what he had to do
all through his ministry. He is hold
ing the faith of his disciples in him
as the real Christ who was soon to
come ia his kingdom and yet leading
them out of their materialistic no
tons of that coming and kingdom
into the true spiritualistic conceptions
thereof. Christ did not teach and the
Gospels do not represent him asteach-
ing personal, visible re-appear-
ance" in that generation, but what
he did teach and what they represent
him as teaching, is spiritual pres
ence in his kingdom. With this in
depreciation the grave critical pro-
blem' vanishes into thin air.
In nature, therefore, the coming of
Christ was and is spiritual-his COM
ing to reign in the souls of men. But
we must not understand this as an
abstract coming, like the coming of
a truth of science. His coming is
always personal He comes as a
spiritual personality in his kingdom
and by the power of that personality
he,reigns. Not in bodily form, never
theless as real spiritual personality
he came in that generation, and SO
he has come ever since and so will he
continue to come, until he shall give
the kingdom back into the hands of
the Father that God may be all in
ALL" SC.

UNIVERsALIsT MISSION IN JAPAN

Japan Mission Canvass for 1898.
The Committee on Missions, under in
structions from the Board OF Trustees
of the Universalist General Convention.
make request for another annual contri-
button in support of our missionary
work in Japan. The Universalist church
ia sacredly committed to the mission in
Japan.
Success of the Work.
The work which has been done there
in behalf of our faith has Rbundantly
justified the movement entered upon in
1889. and prosecuted since that time with
a gratifying measure of sarneetness and
success. 1t has been shown that Uni
versalism can be successfully COM
mended to the Japanese people. We
have gained numerous converts, estab.
lished good number of parishes, organ
lied convention, and find the oppor-
tunities constantly multiplying for all
such endeavors as were contemplated by
the establishment of the mission.
The Work of the Last Year-Return of
Rev. Mr.. Cate.
The Mission has been we'll maintained
during the year which now draws TO q
close. Excellent work is being done,
and the outlook is promising. Rev. J..
w. Cate, at his own request. has re.
turned home, after eight years OF faith
full service. and the missionary force
now in japan consists Of Rev. O. e. Rice,
Rev. Edgar Lsavitt aud Miss Catherine
Osborn. 1t is hoped that before long
another missionary may take the place
of Mr.. Cate.
Important Native Assistance now Avail
able.
1t should be remembered, however,
that associated with the present Mis-
sionaries, and working under their gen.
eral supervision, are several japanese
teachers and preachers, we'll fitted for
work in the interest of our church.
Generous Contributions Sought.
We look for generous contributions,
that the efficiency of the Mission may
be maintained. and it's usefulness aug.
mented. Such contributions will be ap-
piled for the support Of the Missionaries
and their japanese assistants; and for
the prosecution of important outpost

We are moved to say that there is a
vast amount of Sabbath breaking in our
land; and Chautauqua assemblies and
camp meetings are not as careful as thev
should be in keeping themselves free from
the world, the flesh and the devil in pro
viding means to make Sunday feld-dav
for Sabbath breaking in their assemblies.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES SUNNY LIFE.
In his last days-he lived to be an old
man-Oliver Wendell Holmes said that he
owed debt of gratitude to the nurse of
his childhood, who studiously taught him
to ignore unpleasant incidents. If he
tubbed his toe or skinned his knee or
bumped his nose, his nurse would never
permit his mind to dwell upon the tempo
rary pain, but claimed his attention for
some pretty object or charming story or
happy "reminiscences To her, he said, he
was largely indebted for the sunshine of
long life. 1t is a lesson which is easily
mastered in childhood, but seldom to be
learned in middle-life, and never in old
age .-Churchman.

A MEMORIAL TO THE
UNIVERSALIST GENERAL CON-
VENTION,
In Session in Chicago, october aO-as. 1897
November l. 1897.

Universalist ministers from all sections
of the United States, having prayerfully
deliberated upon the state and needs of
the Church, having earnestly sought, in
particular, to find way for promoting
an increase of loyalty to our Church; for
securing a greater degree of unity and
continuity in the work of our several
parishes; for effecting the more expedi-
tious and more advantageous settlement
of unemployed ministers, and for the
creation and operation of an adequate
and necessary evangelism, have agreed
upon the following recommendations,
which are hereby offered as calculated to
achieve those desirable results:
I've recommend the immediate APP
pointment of General Field Secretary
whose duty it shall be to act as Chair
man of the Council of Administration
hereinafter described; to foster the ap-
pointment of state and district Superin-
tendents of Churches; to operate in the
field; to stimulate and supervise the
spiritual activities of the Churches, and
to do such further work as may be as
signed him by the Board of Trustees of
the General Convention consistently with
his specific duties as herein outlined.
2.-We recommend that the plan of
state superintendency of Churches by a
salaried superintendent, now employed
in several states, be formally Endorsed by
the General Convention, and that the
Board of Trustees be instructed to en-
courage the adoption of the plan where
practicable, in all states.
3.-We further recommend that the
said Superintendent shall, together with
the Field Secretary, be constituted a
Council of Administration, TO meet at
eular intervals, as often, at least, as
vice a year, for consultation touching
the work they are severally laboring to
accomplish, and for joint determination
Of harmonious and cooperative methods.
This Council shall also be charged with
power TO supervise, in the name of the
General Convention, pastoral relation, and
to extend fraternal counsel where needed,
with view to the promotion of pastoral
efficiency and continuity; shall labor to
Df OGufe lNe SAitdb1G StbtlcuELb OF pas
tors to the end that every parish may
have a pastor and every pastor a parish
and shall study to devise and put into
execution a general system Of evangelism
within and beyond the churches.
4.-Stnl further, we recommend that
hereafter any appropriations made by the
General Convention in aid Of the State
Conventions shall be applied directly to
the support of State Superintendents,
and not otherwise.
5.-In regions where single State Con-
vention may be financially unable to sus-
tain Superintendent, two or more states
shall be grouped into a District, aud ali
provisions adopted concerning the duties
and the support of State Superintendents
shall apply, in like manner, to the Su-
perintendents of Districts.
Some 20 ministers took part in the adj
option of this memorial.

Secretary of Minister'S Institute.

work. The Theological School at Tokyo
requires some additional meane. The
School for Girls in the same city, which
has already accomplished so much of
service. needs more ample equipment.
Additional aid is also required for the
support of Girls Schools in other cities.
as well as for the maintenance of preach
ing at various important stations.
Justification of Present Call.
The condition of the Mission is hope
full: its varied opportunities for useful
ness are increasing, and there is an
evident demand for our hearty sympa-
thy and aid. The Committee, therefore,
confidently ask for sufficient means to
carry forward the work during the year
now before us. There is an urgency of
need; and they solicit prompt and gen.
erous contributions from the parishes
and people of the Universalst church.
The Sum of 10000 Named.
We ask for a contribution OF $4,000,
which will provide ample support for the
mission for the year 1898, and allow
some margin for special gift to the
mission at Osaka, where Rev. II. Yoshi.
mura has been working, who is now
in this country, and is ready to fill en-
gsgements made for him by this COM
mittee in the interests of the mission.
A Renewal of Interest and of Gifts Desired
We trust that there may be a new
manifestation of interest and united
renewal of gifts in behalf of the enter
prise, to which we are most fully COM
mitted. We believe that our people,
with augmented faith ard conservation.
will provide generously for those who
represent Universalism in japan, and
that they will not grow weary in well
doing. The devoted missionaries in
Japan should receive our practical sym
patty, and be provided with the means
for an enlargement of their work, as
opportunities offer.
Special Recommendation as to the Taking
of Contributions.
1t is recommended and urged, as one
means of securing the desired result,
that, 80 far as practicable a special offer
ing be taken in all our churches on the
fourth Sunday in November, 1897. In
any case, however, where that day is not
convenient one for the presentation Of
the matter. let the nearest convenient
Sunday selected for the purpose. that
returns. as far as possible, may be made
before the end of the present year. The
trustees need to know what the produc.
tiveness of this canvass is likely to be
before the first Of January next. in order
that they make their appropriations
accordingly.
The Sending out of Blanks and the Max
ing of Returns.
The Financial Secretary. Rev. Henry
w. Rugg, Providence, r. L., will send q
supply of circulars and blanks to all
Universalist pastors and parishes, to be
used in obtaining contributions. All
returns should be made to him.

EDITORIAL.

THE call for another
announcer Oall Ior contribution from the
Japan. churches and individ-
uals in aid CT the Japan Mission appears
this week. We hope it will meet with
liberal response from those who have
the interests of this important mission
at heart. 1t should be understood that
there is no fund available for carrying
on the mission and that it depends on
the free.will offerings of the people for
it's support. Thus far the japan Mission
has been maintained by special contri'
buttons made for that particular pur-
pose by those who were friendly to the
enterprise. May the number be largely
increased the present year. The Mission,
moreover, is an enterprise OF the church
and has been several times endorsed by
the representatives of the denomination
in General Convention. tits, therefore,
entitled to the support of all loyal
churches and pastors irrespective OF in
dividual opinion. Here is an opportunity
for proving our new pledged loyalty to
the general body. What ehall the
harvest be?" We hope for an unequivo-
cal and satisfactory response from East
West and Midst. Let not the church
be disappointed in the result Of this first
appeal since the pledges and prayers of
the great Chicago Convention.
