A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

AT this period in our career as a
church there are hopeful indications.
1t has been my good fortune to have
met thousands who are interested in
the work of the Universalist Church.
Because there may be honest differ
ences of opinions concerning our
ways and means, we should not draw
false conclusions. Although we are
now under the influence of individ
ualism to some extent, the ministers
and the people of our church are fast
learning that our larger success in
the future is to be based on improve
ments to answer the demands of the
coming days.
The heart of our people is in the
work for which the Universalist
Church stands. Although the finan-
cial results for our missionary enter
prises have not been all that we could
wish, we must look at the situation
philosophically, and study to get at
the key which will unlock the door to
our larger future. That key will yet
be found.
There are many people in our
church and out of it, unconsciously
waiting to be led by generalship
born out of the agitation that is now
going on. 1t is my opinion that in
very few years we will have policy
and a leadership which will mean
much greater visible church results.
There are many thousands of dol
lars in the pockets of our people
which will yet be consecrated to the
extension of the Universalist Church.
People of large and of small means
are yet to do more for our church
enterprises.
Our problem is the missionary
problem. go We into the whole world
and preach the Gospel" is for US.
If during these days of financial
depression each minister and active
layman will aim to awake deeper
practical interest in the foreign and
home work, which has already been
planted by our church, we will be
better prepared for the larger results
that will yet follow.
A feeling of personal responsibility
in this matter will help us to the end
we have in view.

Hosea Ballou I'd. The missionary
with his fine culture for the time
knew the constructive preacher and
scholar. They were on the same
shining heights.
The extreme sacrifices of the early
missionaries are no longer necessary.
there are railroads now, there are
organizations, the Church is in work
ing order. But still love is love, and
God is God, and no organization can
do Gods work unless it is alive with
the zeal and desire of consecrated
men and women.
To quicken the religious life so that
it shall be equal to the opportunity,
we come together in our conventions,
our young peoples rallies, the spec
ial meetings of our missionary organ
cations. To this end we approach
the home altar, we press to the altar
of the church, we pray nightly in
our closets. To the TRANSPORTED
heights of our perfect living faith,
voices of unrest, of doubt, of despair,
are calling for help. Shall we go
down to the valley with the word of
inspiration and the healing touch?
If we keep close to the mind of the
Master and answer by our fellowship
one with another his prayer,-"that
they all may be one, as thou Father
art in me and l in thee. that they all
may be one in s,"-this shall indeed
be the measureless privilege of the
Universalist Church.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
BY JANE L. PATTERSON.

The missionary spirit is the natural
outgrowth of our faith. If faith has
done its perfect work in the heart and
life of our people, the needs of our
missions will call for few reminders.
Our ministers will have small occasion
to reiterate the value of the Japan
movement, or the interest awakened
by DIR. Shinn.
What do we mean by the perfect
work of faith in the heart and life?
That entire and complete conversion
which submerges self in love of man
kind. God is love, and because he is
loye man lives, environed by the glory
and opportunity of this wondrous
world. We have embraced the relig-
ion of love and we are inadequate re-
representatives. of that religion unless
we too love, overflow in mercy, help
and bless.
How shall we gain this perfect work
of faith in the heart and life so that
our people shall see their great privi-
lege and hasten to bear the Gospel to
those in outer darkness,-so that they
shall be eager to consecrate body,
mind and estate to sacred uses, and
make the overflow of the pocketbook
a larger per cent. than the Hebrew
law required7 The inspiration of this
movement, latent or active, depends
upon our leaders. That word from
the pews spoken at the Portland Con

OUR MOTIVE FOR CHURCH EXTEN
SION.
BY REV. oHAs. S. MCPHERSON.

In seeking to determine the motive
of missionary work am certain that
we are seeking for something essen
tial, something that has a very vital
relation to this line of Christian eff
fort. Motive colors everything we
undertake to do. 1t and it alone de-
termines the moral quality of con-
duct. If we are to reach just de-
cision as to whether a person has
done a wrong-as to whether he has
committed a sin-we must discover
his motive.
Few churches live and become in
fuential for the spiritual unbuilding
of men which were born out of the
spirit of controversy. Many places
where once the believer in endless
punishment was soundly trounced
two or three times a week, and where
gathered large audiences to witness
those proceedings now have nothing
of ethical significance or spiritual
worth as result
Even where the organizations still
survive as results of such effort they
are usually weak and not spiritually
powerful. Neither polemics nor a
wish to see 1.-The other fellow"

PINGREE PLAN OF FOOD RELIEF.

Detroit, this summer, is again trying
the potato-patch plan, originated b.
Mr.. Pingree for the relief of the poor,
and Chicago has also something sim
liar in her vegetable gardens. In De.
troit, especially, the scheme has
worked well, and quite a number OF
families, which would have been q bur-
den upon the community, have been
assisted. during the last three years,
virtually to support themselves.
There are 1856 families, accustomed
before to rely le1gely upon charitable
societies for support, now working
these immature farms. They have
been gwen 4o9 acres OF land, a quarter
Of an acre each; 5000 bushels OF po-
tatoes, at twenty cents a bushel, and
seeds to the value Of So, 500. What
ever they raise is for their own use.
They are taught industry and self. re.
lance, and especially to provide for the
future. Heretofore, in the winter they
have depended solely upon begging,
while now they will have a considera-
bic store set by to keep them from
suffering. The 1886 families at work
represent. according to Mr.. P. H.
DwYer, the secretary of the board of
poor commissioners, about 10, 900 per-
spns, or about one-twenty-6fth Of the
entire population OF Detroit.
There are certain differences be-
tween the potato patches of Detroit
and the vegetable gardens Of Chicago,
the latter Of which number 149. First
Of all, the Detroit poor farmers are
mostly foreigners-Poles - while at
Chicago Americans constitute the lead
ing nationality, although foreign people
are considerably represented. The
Chicago system is carried on by volun-
tary private subscriptions, while in De-
troit the city council bears the expense.
10 ID stroit, the vegetables raised are
largely potatoes. while in Chicago
there is a generous variety. There is
said to be greater care in the c~ultiva-
tion of the Chicago gardens, and a
deeper interest is exhibited. How.
ever, the Chicago work, as yet, reaches
only 149 families, or 90S individuals,
Including children.
Detroit thinks the Investment she
has made a good one. Last year 100
lots were cultivated by 1900 families;
the work cost the city s2,4O0, an aver
age cost OF 81 AZ a lot. The total
product was estimated to be worth
$So,e98, giving SlS 23 worth of veg
etables as the average production of
each lot.
