struggle men need faith. No one can
see his way far ahead. The competi-
ton of trade almost kills faith. Re-
ligion needs to be part of mans
furnishings in order to keep him true
to himself, and believing in human
ity. Business is soulless. Heart can
only go into it by each man being
true to do his part. It shall also give
health. Men die all around us from
worry. The reason is they think only
of business. Did they retire at times
for their meditative hour, or for work
away from trade, the strain on them
would be lessened. Men have re-
serves in the bank, but they use
every ounce of nerve power and then
when a strain comes they snap the
thread of body or brain.
Were to elaborate the relation of
the church to the business man, 1
should say that the church has been
at fault in two way: 1t has not been
practical enough for the man, and it
has made religion an effeminate ac-
complishment and not a manly edu-
cation. Men and religion need to
come together to make thereby bet
ter religion and better manhood.

THE LETTERS OF JAMES RUSSELL
LOWELL.
BY HATTIE TYING GR1swoLD.

The revelations which volume of
letters make of the real character of
a man are much fuller than that of
any biography written by another. 1t
is for this reason, perhaps, that we all
turn to the letters and journals of a
man, and skip the summing of his
qualities by biographer, as we do the
lines engraved on his tombstone.
A mans letters inevitably betray
him, even though written, as some
doubtless are, with an eye to the pub
lie. Literary men are proverbially
vain, and love to talk about them
selves. Lowell was no exception, but
he was not one of the kind of egotists
who could be described in the lam
guage of Ben Jonson as feeling that
at each step he took "his advanced
head knocked out star" His real
mDition was to be poet, and the
great dissatisfaction of his life seemed
to be that he could not devote his
entire time to the cultivation and ex-
ercise of his poetic gift. OF his pro.
he never had high opinion, and of
his labors in later life as diplomat
ist he was not proud. But he loved
his poems as frankly as did DIR.
Holmes, and might be imagined sit
ting under his elms and grooming the
verses of his friend
Il sometimes sit beneath a tree,
And read my own sweet songs.
Though nought they may to others be,
Each humble line prolongs
A tone that might have passed away
But for that scarce remembered lay.
l keep them like a lock or leaf,
That some dear girl has given;
Frail record of an hour as brief
AS sunset clouds in heaven,
But spreading purple twilight still
High over memory's shadowed hill. "

applied Christianity" The whole de-
nomination should be an object lesson
for that professor. Our religion is good
for use. The more there is of it the bet
ter for the world; and the better the
world is the more will there be of this
religion.
Prof. Henry Drummond's compare.
lively early death is loss to religion;
for though his contributions to scieLce
or to theology cannot be rated high, he
was teacher and writer of wide popu-
larity and wholesome influence. He was
a theorizer and rhetorician rather than
a thinker; but he had fine religious
spirit, an affinity for spiritual views Of
life and nature, and his style had a
charm to which only Gradgrinds we're
ineensible. His most famous book. INA.
tural Law in the Spiritual World" i'm
posed a wholly fanciful theory on null
titudes of minds by trick Of rhetoric,
of which the author was wholly uncon-
scious. He is said to have broken down
in his prime by the attempt to answer
the numerous and importunate calls that
came to him for service of pen and
tongue.
Dean Farrar makes, perhaps. as
good defense of the obscurities Of Rob-
ert Browning as can be made, and miti-
gates somewhat the censure passed on
the poet for writing so many lines and
stanzas that need an interpreter. But
he does not remove the obscurities.
They remain, an obstacle to the useful.
ness of the poets work and blemish
on his muse. None of his fame rests on
his 'obscurities. Rather had he not
written much more that is at once lucid
and strong, he had never recovered from
the disfavor into which his early man.
nerisms had brought him. He had, it
is true, style of his own, and when it
was full.grown. style Of sinewy
strength. In many places, even down
to the last, the style mastered the poet
instead of the poet mastering the style.
Have you not noticed that creeds
generally lack inspiration? They may
be exact, comprehensive. Hawless. but
they are dry. They stir no emotion,
sound no depths, satisfy no hunger. At
the best they are usually the product of
compromise and careful balancing of
more or less incongruous propositions.
They are done in cold blood and to or
der. But creed should come out of a
mood of exaltation and have in it the
momentum OF soul at full spring.
That is the charm of Ian Maclaren's
creed. 1t was struck out when he was
lifted to a great height Of Christian
vision. Get a seer, not mechanic, to
make your creed.
All the denominations, great and
small, are making unusual exertions to
maintain without serious impairment
their missions, home and foreign. Some
OF them have the great and timely re-
source of rich mans pockets. More of
them are compelled to CLEAN with great
or diligence than usual the fields of COM
mon or sparse productiveness We find
ourselves in numerous company and in
the best there is. in our missionary
straits. Such depression as exists and
has for some time existed must reach
all. Greater effort and more sacrifice
is the imperative demand. We must
not lag in this march. To hold our rela-
tive position means that we must not
make less effort than our neighbors.

wood was given up, as he could not
bear to return to it after he came back
from England, his old friends we're
gone to large extent; he saw many
things to deplore in public life, and
altogether his later years were rather
sad and colorless. Fame and honors
were small compensation to him for
what he had lost. For long time he
had felt with Stoddard:
There is joy for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts
And it never comes again.

UNIVERSALISM AGAINST ATHEISM
BY REV. U. s.. MILBURN.

By Universalism in this connection
we mean something broader than the
denomination bearing that name.
We mean the principle for which it
stands, the idea which it embodies,
the thought which it's name carries
with 1.-THE primal thought of the
denomination, its ideal of God.
This thought is placed in juxta-
position to atheism, and the affirma-
ton made that one or the other views
will ultimately be the recognized
belief of intelligent humanity. Athe-
ism says that the world and all
it contains is stupendous accident;
there is no ultimate origin or des-
tiny" Blind force, having nc order
| ly purpose, or obeying no law, pro-
duced all that we can know. There
is no forethought in creation; the
stellar world and systems of the
planets, 80 beautifully poised, are all
accident. The vast complexity of
life, vegetable and animal, including
man with his thoughts, loves, aspira-
tions, are but temporary combina-
tion of events, due to an accidental
drifting together of atoms by blind
force, destined to be as accidentally
dissolved at any time. Mind, with it's
purest thoughts, heart, with it's no.
blest loves, are but fanciful and ira.
tional chances with no permanency
whatever-a blank. This is atheism,
held by a few; it's rarity proof enough
of it's falsity.
The opposite of this is the Univer-
salist conception of theism. This
world and all it contains, its life,
thought and love, are not mere acci-
dents, but the work of an omnipo-
tent intelligence. There is an order
ly sequence of events, an expansion,
growth, upbuilding, following pre-
conceived and mature plan-the plan
of God, not only the "author and
finisher Of our faith," but the author
and finisher Of material and spiritual
phenomena. God is in the universe.
He works through what are called
natural laws. He manifests himself
through every new discovery of truth.
He is the source of all things, and
the goal toward which we, his off
spring, are travelling. We cannot get
away from him, nor be lost from him.
Our nature and destiny can never be
sundered from his nature and des-
tiny. Being infinitely good, his pur-
pose in the creation of man was the
very best and highest purpose, name
ly, mans eternal growth and happi.
ness.
Most emphatically the world is not
travelling toward atheism. The lat
est religious thinking, scientific in
vestigation and philosophic thought
strengthen rather than weaken the
belief in God. Atheism will never be
accepted. The ultimatum remains
Universalism-the idea that God,
working in the world and in the
hearts of men ceaselessly, can and
will, aye, must, bring humanity
though its trials, sorrows, pains i'm
perfections, and sins to a state of
felicity and bliss, worthy of him
whose rame is Love.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT 1. M. ATWOOD. ID.

THE most damaging criticism that can
be made of any religion is. that it fails
to produce a good effect on those who
come under it's influence. If it is not
capable of conducting to amendment OF
life in those whom it has discipled it
must be judged worthless. This. how
ever, is not the same thing as to say a
religion must show as.fruits great i'm
provement in the lives of it's adherents,
or that it must be able to affect for good
every one who espouses its principles
Something is to be allowed for defects in
the means of applying its principles. for
want of capacity and sincerity in those
who administer the religion, and allow
ance must be made also for the personal
EQUATION. The divinest institution must
be carried on by human instruments and
committed to human acceptance.
The greatest hindrance to the prac-
tical power of every sect. from the old
est to the youngest of them, is in the
comparatively meager influence which
it is observed to exert towards purifying
and exating the lives of it's followers.
Our experience, which has not been
email. does not furnish us with any ex-
ceptions to this rule. Its Calvinism or
Churchism may be high or low it's creed
may be long or short. it's theology may
be narrow or broad. its pretensions may
be large or little; but the weak point is
ever the same. 1t fulfils in only re-
mote and unsatisfactory degree it's pur-
pose to put genuine spiritual life into its
people and produce in them the fruit of
sound Christian character.
We are thinking especially OF our
own branch of the Christian vine. Uni
versalism means the triumph of every
thing true and good. AT the root it is
a philosophy Of universal amelioration.
As organized, it is an attempt to make
practical the doctrine of the kingdom
of heaven, taught by Jesus. A Univer-
salist is. by hypothesis. man who faces
the light on every subject and carries

thing which he cannot brook is an evil
drift, for the universe is to him one con-
tinuous forward movement to the goal
of good. What manner of persons ought
Universalists to be! Yet we must allow
that. as people, we jog along with the
crowd, aometimes fully abreast, some.
tirass close to the rear, never really in the
van of the Christian host. And that
host is, alas. not yet in sight of the prom
Used land.
The force of these reflections goes
to this one point, that spiritual power is
the fountain of all other kinds of effic.
iency in religion. A church is weak or
strong in proportion to the vitality and
genuineness of it's religion. 1t is not so
much a matter Of the soundness of it's
creed as it is of the depth and reality of |
its faith in its creed. A Universalist |
theory of religion is only then potent
when it is rule of action-which it will
be when it is believed from the heart"
DIR. Brooks, of blessed memory, sought
to exhibit "Universalism as a practical
power" This is what every minister
and every church should be seeking TO

would give their hearty support. Petit

THE PRICE OF AN ASSAULT.

Lawyer James F. Minturn made an APP
plication to Judge Hudspeth this morn
ing for a reduction of the damages allow
ed to Mrs. Mary Kelly of Hoboken for an
assault and battery committed upon her
by Michael Riccio. The ease was first
tried in the Hoboken District Court and
the plaintiff was awarded s20e. Judge
Paxton reduced this amount to 500, but
nevertheless Riccio appealed and the
case was tried several days ago in the
Common Pleas Court. The jury there
gave the same verdict.
Mr.. Minturn strongly intimated that
the jury in each of the trials was in
huenced by racial prejudice. the plaintiff
Lawyer Eailon objected to any change
in the verdict. The argument occupied
the attention of the Court for nearly
~thfee-quarters of an hour and decision
was reserved.
