A Now Crre For Gout.

A curious sign "a the vsletudinari.
an tendencies of the age is seen In
the fact that alleged remedies for
various ailments have nowadays
partially superseded the miscellane'
GUS grumbles which used to form
the staple of the extra correspond
ence employed to fill gaping news
paper columns. The imaginative
wag can hardly be expected to resist
the temptation thus afforded for the
exercise OF his peculiar gifts. But
when it comes to the story, gravely
told the other day by q correspond
ent of daily newspaper, Of an
amateur apiarist who is in the habit
of provoking his bees to sting him
"as a cure for the gout," it seems
almost time to suggest a return to
the attacks upon water companies,
German bands, local vestries and
other assorted nuisances which were
formerly relied upon when parlia-
ment was up and news at a premium.
It is only a step, and short one,
from the gout curing bees to the
miraculous snakes which have long
been recognized as Indispensable
properties of every transatlantic
journal with a reputation for men

Daniel webster's Last Days.

An aged husbandman at Marsh

has given some one very interest

as an agriculturist and incidentally
drawn a touching picture Of his
farewell to the acres and the posses
sions he loved SO we'll. Webster,
according to this ancient, loved
every tree and flower on the place.
He knew all the stock and could tell
the name of every animal upon the
farm. He was an enthusiastic
breeder and was a fine Judge Of
everything pertaining to farm life
and live stock, although he never
made financial SUCCESS Of them.
When the end came, and every one,
including himself, realized that be
had but a few days more to live, he
ordered the relator of this incident
to drive up to the farmhouse all the
stock two by two, and there he re-
viewed them, passing his hand loy.

and patting their tanks affection

MRS. LUCY s. MoGLAUFLIN.

The UNIvERsALIsT of last week con-
tanned the announcement of the sudden
death of Mrs. W. II. McGlaufin, at
Atlanta, Ca, who passed on TO the
higher life. Sunday Sept. 10. A friend
and parishioner pays tribute to her
beloved memory as follows:
Mrs. McGlaufiin's work in the South
as the wife of our missionary is well
known. A most noble character looking
always on the bright side, of steady
persistence where others were discour-
aged gentle, affable and always lady
like-these are few of the many admir-
able qualities she brought into her life
work.
I'm every department of our church
has the power, for good, of her precept
and example been felt. Superintendent
in the Sunday School. of the primary
der artment, she won the hearts of the
children SO that they were ever ready
to do her bidding.
I'm the mission Circle guiding and
directing with wisdom and such gentle
mesa of manner as to inspire all within
her influence to do the best that was in
them. At the church service with such
qaiet dignity, ever ready to greet
stranger and friend with winning smile
ano kindly word. Never failing in the
Y. P. @. U. to speak words of encourage.
ment, pointing always to the ways of
life which are brightest, and best and
truest.
"In her social and home life che was
genial and kind, always thoughtful for
others. making many friends wherever
she went. None speak of her but in
words of tenderest regard and praise.
Our church has sustained loss it
will deeply feel. But the influence o,
her life will abide, inspiring to greater
effort, to renewed conservation, that
those things may be brought to pass for
which she lived and worked. We can
truly say that hers was a life we'll spent,
blessing to all with whom she came in
contact, prophecy of the life to come"
A brief notice of the funeral service at
Atlanta will be found on the fifth page.
Again we tender to DIR. McGlauflin a
deep sympathy in his affection. We
pray for the divine comfort to dwell
with him richly and may it abide with
healing power.

MRS. GEORGE B MARSH.

My first meeting with Mrs. Marsh was
at the session of the General Conven-
ton in 1877 at Chicago, when she was
fret elected Trustee and | secretary. |
bad heard her voice in the convention.
when one of our best women objected
10 the record of her name by the use of
her husbands. Mrs. Marsh pleasantly
said. II prefer to bear my husbands
name, because what have done for the
church I did by his favor" 1t was sig
niticant of her conjugul attitude, which
an intimacy with her home life for
number of years only served to verify.
And her esteem and trust were war
ranted by their object. l never knew
more congenial mates, or a happier
home, until dense cloud of adversely
overwhelmed it. And then it involved
no mutual distrust. Together husband
and wife bravely stemmed the torrent
of woes, until the life Of the husband
heavier than the widow could bear and
had much to do with her own decease.
At the close of the session to which |
have referred, Mre. Marsh invited the
newIy-elected Trustees to her hoepitable
home for lunch; and there began an Off
cial acquaintance which endured for
more than twelve years, and person al
friendship which was ended only by her
decease. So long as che lived in Chi
cage, Mrs. Marsh's house, at her most
cordial invitation, was my home when
called there on official or personal Jour.
neye; and l recall many kindnesses at
her hands.
Mrs. Marsh, as Trustee of the con-
vention, was ever faithful to the duty.
At meetings of the Board, she freely and
intelligently took part in the considera
ton and discussion of the business COM
ing before it, and promptly attended to
the committee work assigned to her.
She was not always in the majority.
which can be said of all OF US; but acted
Independently upon her own Judgment.
She prizes her trusteeship, her col
leagues priced her companionship, and
she fulfilled her duties in the love OF her
church, with faith in the love of God,
and with hope in the triumph of the
Gospel for worlds salvation.

ton was looking forward to his com

of feeling such as no other people
ever felt when anticipating a coming

4. How was this kingdom to be
established 1t was to be established
by the Messiah, but how by the
Messiah9 Evidently not by doing
and teaching the truth for it was
not kingdom of the truth. Their
Messiah was to be an earthly prince:
therefore, he would use earthly
means to establish kingdom. His
kingdom was OF this world, therefore,
would his servants fight. He would
use physical force and great power
would be given him from above to
subdue his enemies and bring all
things under his rule. Suchis some
thing of the Jewish idea of the king
dom of God. 1t was to be worldly
kingdom established on the earth by
the Messiah at his coming. Seeing
what this kingdom was in the thought
of the Jew, we shall be able to see
more clearly what it was in the
thought of Jesus. SC.

probably represent the facts.

PROBABLY represent the facts.
We understand that the above fig
ures are not decisive as representing
the comparative spirit of liberality.
Perhaps they do notdo justice to our
orthodox brethren, but they are the
best obtainable and show all that
statistics can. At least they suffici-
emily disprove the charge that only
"the hide-bound orthodox with be-
leving sense of hell" will give to
support the church. All we use them
for is to disprove that charge, and to
show that the liberal church in re-
ligion is not niggardly in giving. OF
course it is true that only he who be.
lieves in cause will give much to
support it. But liberals believe
much. "The liberal deviseth liberal
things"

THE PROFESSION OF FAITH.
Ill.


The first article of the Winchester
Profession sets forth, as we said last
week, a more rational view of the
Scriptures than was then generally
entertained. detained for the sacred
collection that it contained a message
or messages from God: not that its
every word of history, biography,
chronicles, is revelation, each word
of equal value with every other. 1t
needs no change now, whatever
theory may be entertained in regard
to receiving the Bible as literature.
1t is not only the best statement that
could have been made in 1903: it is
the best that has been made since
or that possibly can be made. No
substitute that has been proposed in
the last twenty years can compare
with it, least of all can the absence
of allusion to the Bible as an author
ity in religion, by the Meriden creed,
take its place.
1t is absurd, to say the least, to

for the reason that it dealt in Script
ural phraseology, to which Unitar-

clergy as to the liberality in money
gifts of the Unitarians and Univer-
salists in contrast with the orthodox
denominations, groups some statis
tics which are interesting and &C.
companies them with reflections
which are worthy of record. We
quote from his sermon delivered two
weeks ago:
Some of the statistics collected
with reference to the alleged mig
gardliness of liberal churches, are
here given for the benefit of the
truth. No attempt to give them a
turn in favor of liberalism" has been
made. They are taken from the year
books of the several denominations.
They may not state the real facts.
Scarcely any statistics do. Nothing
is shown as to the wealth of the
donors, so no judgment can be
formed of the relative sacrifice and
zeal they represent. The orthodox
sects so far as statistics can be OBJ
tanned, are here compared with the
Universalist church, because the
Unitarian denomination publishes no
systematic statistics. Could the fig
ures of the giving in the Unitarian
body be obtained they would I'M
doubtedly show much higher aver
age than in the Universalist church,
as the former embraces on the aver
age much Weather class than the
latter church. The Universalist fol-
lowing is mainly in the country and
small towns, and represents but few
people of great wealth. 1t has no
Rockefeller to swell it's average of
gifts by his great donations. The
average wealth of its members is very
likely greater than that of the Metho-
dist and Baptist churches; but is not
olarge as that of the Congregational
or Presbyterian denomination.
The Methodist church does not
publish any statistical summary of
its expenses and benevolences; but
allowing the largest latitude for its
gifts to missions, education, etc, the
average is not one dollar per mem
Der, while in the Universalist denomi-
nation it is $2,16 per member, by the
several year books for 1896.
Comparing the presbyterian and
Universalist churches the average in
1896, is as follows, per II ember:
