OUR NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY.

JlOnal DlrLnuay anniversary suggesJs re-
flections.
We are all Americans. We love our
country and respect its flag; we cherish
it's memories, and have hope for it's
future. We believe in popular institu-
tions and would perpetuate their free.
dom.
We differ among ourselves concerning
measures and policies, and this is both
natural and right, for it is from friction
of mind upon mind that the best ways
are found. Progress comes through in-
terchaDge Of thought and work, and the
world grows as fast as men enlarge the
fields Of their intellectual and CONNER
cial intercourse.
Our development as people and our
growth as a nation have been wonderful.
They have no parallel in history. So
fast have we grown, and so rapidly have
we moved, that we have overlooked some
evils which have become rooted in our
political system. We have IS million
people and more than half of them are
without homes Of their own, though our
more than million square miles Of ter
ritory did not cost us more than cents
an acre. This condition has come about
not because of bad government or be-
cause our laws are less wise than those
Of other peoples, but because the land
system of the world is essentially and
fundamentally wrong.
Our methods of taxation are vicious
and destructive, but they are not the re-
sulb of new devices freshly set up by bad
men to despoil the people; they are but
the continuation Of old and bad systems
that have descended to us from the past
Our political condition is not good; the
social atmosphere is not pure; the people
are in large measure troubled about the
future; but these things have become
apparent through the failure of old ma
chiuery to properly perform the work
which is required now. We have out
grown the customs OF the old regime, we
need new devices for convenience, new
methods for carrying on the added work
which our marvellous growth has made
necessary.
But, except in individual cases, there
is no good reason for despair. God reigns
and we are not without hope. We have
a great country, populated by a mighty
people. We have the power to do as we
choose, and when we come to think and
act together we will choose to do the
best thing possible. We have or may
have within easy reach everything essen
tial to self-help as nation. No other
people have as much to use or are as we'll
as we for prompt and efficient
handling Of what they have with which |
to help themselves forward and upward. |
We have everything needful for as
grand q future for us as that of our
fathers was for them. But like them,
we must take hold Of what we have and |
improve, invent and re.Create as we 60 |
As fast as the people learn what is wrong
they will seek and apply the best reme-
dies proposed, and as we help ourselves
God will be with us.

one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine

HOW MANY PHILADELPHIANS ARE
GOING TO HELLH
BY REV. FREDERICK A. BIsBEE.

AT the Universalist Church of the
Restoration, Philadelphia, Rev. Fred
erick A. Bisbee, the pastor, began Sun
day evening, January 3. a series of
sermons on the general subject of
"Applied Theology" the topic for
that evening being, "How Many
Philadelphia People are going to
Hell7"-rather a startling topic for
the sedate men and women of the
Quaker city. The text was Hebrews
xii. 8. 10, The Press gave a report
which we transfer to our columns:
"The object of this series of SER
MONS" said Mr.. Bisbee, sis to test
certain conspicuous doctrines of the
Christian church by local and per.
sonal application. These doctrines,
if at all, must be universally true; if
they apply to the heather in Africa,
who do not conform to the conditions
established, they must be equally
true to every person in this city who
does not meet those conditions, no

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT 1. M. ATWOOD, D. D.

The American Journal of Theology
has appeared. The hole of the pit whence
it is digged is the University of Chicago.
1t has a somewhat formidable appear
ance, with it's big page, wide margins,
large type, thick paper and its 28S pages.
The editors are not announced, but they
speak of themselves in the plural and
there is evidence of many hands in the
production of the journal. The aim of
this publication is to occupy the entire
field of theological study. ITO the pages
of the American Journal of Theology
writer's upon all theological subjects and
of every school of theological opinion
will receive welcome" This COM
prehensive program is to be subject,
however, to one limitation: "That every
writer shall make, at least in some meas
ure, real contribution to theological
knowledge"
We like the plan and we like the
style and spirit of the Introductory mum
ber. In the long, but only partially
complete, list of contributors we note
the pames of representatives OF many
schools, if not of every school, OF theo-
logical opinion. There are six depart
ments to the Journal, the largest, occu-
pying about one half of the whole num-
ber of pages. being filed with contrib
uted articles. In this department and in
that given to Critical Notes we surmise
that the wide welcome" of the prospec-
tus will be illustrated. To the first num-
Der, Prof. Brue, of Glasgow. Prof. Greg
ory, of Leipzig, Prof. Briggs of Union
Seminary, New York. Prof. Menzico, OF
st. Andrews. Prof. Sunday, OF Oxford.
President Strong, of Rochester, DR..
Ward of the Independent. President
Harper, of Chicago. Prof. McGiffert of
Union and Prof. Gould of the Episcopal
Divinity School. Phila 1elphia, contribute
special articles.
We are glad to have the full and au
thorized text OF the critical and able pa
per of Mr.. Dillingham; on our church
polity. We have read it with care and
find measure of cogency in it's sharp
and categorical arraignment OF the pol
ity of the Universalist denomination.
But after conceding all the weight that
a knowledge of the facts and OF our his
tory authorizes to this vigorous indict-
ment, we feel more than ever that the
verdict should be, mot proven" A diff
ferent cause could be assigned for the
evil complained of in every case. And
the one common and recurrent cause Of
the whole list OF disorders named, is
want of good sense and religious feeling
for which. unhappily, no polity, actual
or conceivable. is remedy.
This is not to say that under the
polity we have and in entire accord with
its theory. we might not bring to bear in
a more direct aud effective way the
power of personal and official influence.
Supervision is good or an evil thing
according as it is wise and helpful or
meddlesome and exacting. The chief
objection to supervision by board is,
that it is liable to become merely cleri-
cal or to be conducted by vote. Res
possibility is thus taken from persons
and placed on corporate authority; and
counsel is given by rules rather than by

ishment that will endure until the
improvement is brought about. 1t
stands for the success of God and
goodness, for the final salvation of
every child of God. Orthodoxy says,
if it is consistent, that at least two
thirds of the population of this city
will go to hell, while Universalism
says that ultimately every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess, and
every soul, being purified by the
righteous punishment of God, shall
come home at last, and then only shall
there be heaven, because it is COM
plete, and God is all in ALL"

The Parish Loyalists.
(Christian RegisteF.)

If the pastor is discouraged by the stay
at-homes and the Indifferent, his heart is
strengthened and rejoiced by the loyalists
in his parish. They are the men and
women who are always there. They are
a part of the regular upholstery of the
church. They are more gratefully famil-
lar to him than the church clock, the
poor posts, the organ, the chandeliers, or
any other material objects to which min
listers are apt to address themselves, and
which become very conspicuous when a
congregation is small. These loyalists
never have the Sunday morning sickness.
If they ale i'll at all on that day, their
sickness has probably begun sometime
the previous week.
