Maine Central Memorial Day Excursions


The Maine Central has arranged for an
excursion to Fabyans, taking in all
points in the White Mountains, on Memo
rial day, Monday May 81, selling tickets
at S1.50 the round trip.
The trip through the Crawford Notch
at this season of the year is very interest
ing as the foliage is not dense enough to
hide the cataracts, which are very bea uti.
full on account of the recent rains.
The trip affords an exceptional opportu-
nifty for amateur photographers for wheel
men who can go to Fabyans and have
ample time to ride down through Craw-
ford Notch to Bartlett and take the train
at that station, and also for those who
wish to spend the day among the trout
brooks of Cornish, Brownfeld, Fryeburg,
Crawfords and Fabyans.

are no miracles. However strange
may be the phenomena, if there be
no revelation, they are not miracles.
If there is no baptism of the spirit,
no matter how much water is used
there is no baptism. So if there is
no revelation, no voice of God speak
ing directly to the soul of man, no
matter what the phenomenon may be,
it is not miraculous. Whatever may
be the wonders of "Christian Sci
ence" or faith healing, for instance,
they are not miracles, for they are
not the signs of any new revelation
from God. Whatever good may be
done in the name of the "science'
the science" itself is senseless
drivel. Making due allowance for
all the humbug- and without doubt
it is an immense quantity-spiritual
ism furnishes some strange phenom
ena but they are not miracles, for they
are not signs of any new light from
God. Spiritualism has been in exis-
tence for some half century and yet
not one new truth has it ever taught
the world. Not single revelation
has it made concerning God or the
"great beyond" Any claim it's phe-
nomena may make to the miraculous
therefore is discounted. They are
not miracles whatever else they may
be. For miracles are the signs of
revelation; they are the voice of
God in the outer world, answering
to the voice of God in the
world within. The unity of both
worlds, the unity of all, is in God.
Hence, when he would teach his
children a new truth he makes
signs to them in the world without,
as we'll as speaks to them in the
world within, that they may both
hear and see the light from above
and learn and know what their
Father has to teach.

ROCHESTER, AND DIR. BARRow.-The
famous Rochester one day met DR..
Barrow in the park, and being deter
mined. as he said, to put down the rusty
piece of divinity, accosted him by tax
ing off his hat, and with a profound
bow, exclaimed: Doctor. am yours
to my shoe-tie." The Doctor. preceiv-
ing his aim. returned the salute with
equal ceremony: MY lord. am yours
to the ground" His lordship then made
a deeper salaam. and said: Doctor |
am yours to the centre" Barrow re-
piled, my lord, l am yours to the an
tipodes,' on which Rochester made an
other attempt by exclaiming. II am
yours to the lowest pit" There, my
lord, leave you," replied Barrow.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT L. Nj. ATWOOD, d. D.

BIsHop JOHN P. NEwMAN's memory
may be defective, but he tells US that
fifty years ago he pre- ched circuit OF
four churches often walking the whole
distance, for salary of 800. Here is
new road to the bishopric. Ambitious
young ministers should take note. NOT
by plan or by pelf, neither by favor nor
by calls, is the way Of promotion. On
foot. and literally across lots, and almost
at his own charges, lies the path to the
mitre. Come to think of it, a minister
who could hold himself together and
proclaim his message effectively under
such conditions, would prove his title
clear to the top place. Achievement
under difficulty, rather than any grace
that resides in difficulty, is what stamps
man with the seal of usefulness and
gives him the certificate of promotion.
The Convention Circular of Ohio
makes vigorous defense of the policy
of expending more money in holding
Y.P. G. U. Convention than is applied
directly to mission work in our whole
church. The contention is made that
it is worth whatever it costs. May be.
But if it cost less it would be worth
Just as much. We notice that our abiest
and wisest contemporaries in other de-
nominations are making the same crltl-
cism of the Christian Endeavor Con-
ventions. and the Epworth League
gatherings, and the great Baptist as
sembly of young people, that we have
made of our Y. P. @. U. Conventions.
They absorb too much energy and money
and make too much stir for the results
they bring to pass. There is something
in these criticisms, brethren. You would
better accept the fact and help plan i'm
provements than sneer at economy.
The less money we waste the more money
we shall be able to get from economists,
who, we have observed, are the persons
that have something to give besides en-
thusiasm.
The decay and the nearly total dis
appearance OF the missionary spirit
from the Hindu sect known as the
Brahmo-Somaj, which thirty years ago
was instinct with contagious life. is ex-
planned by the antagonism between the
chief tenet of the society and the mis-.
sionary idea. mo one man, and no one
book" is the Brah mo Somaj watchword.
The idea is. that truth is manifold and
religion universal; so that an enlight-
ened soul is bound to hold all varieties
OF knowledge and faith as equally i'm
portant and valuable. To subscribe to
anyone is to narrow the scope of life.
The natural effect of such principle is
to make its professor Indifferent to the
fortunes of any faith. Whereas the
very heart of missionary effort is the
feeling that a particular faith is true
and supremely good and should there
fore be extended TO esrth's remotest
bound.
The New York Sun has initiated an
earnest but "too late" newspaper dis
cussion, by showing that more than
nine-tenths of all the revenue taken iu
at all the custom houses in the United
States. is consumed by the pension list
alone. Ninety six per cent of the in
ternal revenue goes for pensions. This
is startling. especially when taken 10

JUSTICE TO UNITARIANS.
To the Editor of THE UNIvERsALrsT:
Ill


II strikes me that DR.. Sweetser in
his article on "Ought we to Affiliate
with the Unitarians," published in
The UN1vERsALIsT of August 2Sth,
has not done Justice to our Unitarian
brethren. For one | should exceed
ingly dislike to have them think that
this article represents the point of
view of the majority of the Univer-
salist clergy. Will you, therefore,
kindly permit a word in reply.
DR.. Sweetser argues that the Uni
tartan body is not Christian, that it
belongs outside the Christian fold
and hence we should not affiliate
with it. Even were his assumption
true, it would not follow that Uni
versalists have not much in common
with Unitarians and may not often
work together; nor that these bodies
may not live in friendly relations.
But it seems like misapprehending
and misinterpretation of the Unita-
rian position to refuse this body the
title of Christian, and a very great
straining of the facts to put them
outside the fellowship of Christians.
There are undoubtedly those among
Unitarians who do not call them
selves Christians in the sense of be-
lieving that Jesus Christ is absolute
authority in all matters of faith and
religion; many who do not believe
that the principles of religion and
of ethics originated with Jesus nor
are dependent upon his words; many,
therefore, who refuse to call him
Lord. Many Unitarians prefer to
base their religious faith directly
on their heritage as children of God
rather than on any special revelation
or on the founder of any special re-
ligion, be it Christianity or Bud
dhism. They stand upon the princi-
Piles of universal religion. But this
is not to say that they are not in
tensely loyal to the great principles
of conduct and worship which Jesus
laid down; certainly many of this
class are. Many of the most radical
Unitarians are eminently Christian,
if we may call him Christian who
possesses the spirit of Christ and fol-
lows the way of life he lived. 1t
seems to me that this is altogether
the best test of what constitutes
Christian and is the test which Jesus
himself laid down. Whether such
man may choose to call himself
Christian or not in the theological
sense, cannot understand how any
Christian can regard him in any
other light than that of a loyal
brother, and will not be glad to be
in his company and to strive with
him for the Christ-like life.
However one may regard this, it is
clear that the main body of Unita-
rians consider themselves as a Chris
tian body and rejoice to own that
name. The American Unitarian AS
sociation, the main missionary body
of this denomination states its OBJ
iect to be "to diffuse the knowledge
and promote the interests of pure
Christianity" The National Confer
ence of Unitarians states in its con-

THE SQUIRREL BOUNTY,

BY reference To an article elsewhere in
this issue. it will be seen that the
County Attorney has been investigating
the squirrel bounty paid out last year,
and that suit against the County Conn
missioners is likely to result,
The trouble seems to come from the
fact that the Board granted the requost
OF their petitioners two days before. the
bounty bill became a law, and. We be-
iieve, was passed by the Commissioners
in good faith and with the best Of In.
tentions. The bounty paid out in these
two days would likely amount to the
enormous sum Of $40, while had the
