1.-THE AMERICAN ITALY"

WHEN DR.. Hanson became interest
ed in Southern California, and de-
cided to make his winter home in that
enhancing region, and moreover be-
gan those interesting descriptive let
tiers in The UNIvERsALIsT some three
years ago, we inferred that, some
time or other, book would be the re-
suit. 1.-THE American Italy" now be-
fore us, confirms that inference 10 an
exceedingly beautiful and sumptous
manner. The versatile Doctor is again
the maker of book, and this time
one not devoted to theological mat
tiers, but to an elaborate and finely
wrought description of that paradise
of America, in which his favored lot
has now been cast for several winters.
The American Italy," as he names
his book, is from the press of the W. B.
Conkey Company of this city, and is
a beautiful specimen of Typography,
with over an hundred of photo en-
cravings executed in the finest style
of that rapidly developing art.
1t is an oblong volume of nearly
300 pages, giving not only the ordin-
airy statistical information about
Southern California, but a captivating
poetical portrayal of the scenic won
ders, the delightful climate, golden
sunshine, and the flowers and fruits
of the marvellous region. 1t is also a
work embodying large mount of
historical information, the cream of
many volumes, all wrought into one
pleasing fabric, and made agreeable
to the reader by the authors we'll
known power of descriptive writing.
The mountains and villas, the cities
and islands, the sequestered valleys,
and the long stretch of sea coast, are
here described with skill and inter
est, the whole making one of the most
attractive volumes heretofore written
on this interesting and beautiful por-
ton of our country.
The readers of The UNIvERsALIsT
will be particularly interested 10 this
volume, not only on account of the
articles published, but also from the
fact that the volume contains elabor-
ate descriptions of Pasadena, River
side, San Diego, and other places in
the State where our churches are es
tablished, and also from the fact that
among the hundred illustrations, we
have engravings of the authors win
ter cottage in Pasadena, and the
beautiful home of the Sawyer's, es-
tablished and finely fitted up before
Mr.. G. B. Sawyer's lamented death,
last year.
DIR. Hanson's work in this beauti-
full volume, will fairly rank him one
OF the most charming descriptive
writer's of the great number who have
essayed to present the charms of
Southern California to the reading
public. 1t is a work which will
stand critical review and add to the
reputation of its author along a dis
tinctly literary line. The work is
published in two forms, best English
cloth, with gold stamping, price $1.50.

'OLD FOES WITH NEW FACES"

UNIvERsALIsTs are in danger at
times of becoming jubilant over the
changes in theological opinion which
the present age witnesses, especially
in the notifications of ancient doc
trine in what is called, without his
torical accuracy, "The New Theol-
ogy." While there is much cause for
congratulation over these changes. it
is we'll to remember that our conclu
sions should be tempered with due
discrimination. Indeed, we will make
a fundamental mistake if we con-
clude that, amid the changing
thought of the time, there is to be an
immediate surrender of the ancient
doctrines of the so called orthodox"
faith. We are sometimes too swift
to conclude that what we popularity
denominate "The New Theology" is
to logically sweep away doctrines of
the past. These are too firmly-root-
ed, both in history and tradition. to
be relinquished by their advocates
without an attempt at readjustment
to bring them more into line with
the progressive thought of the
world.
Such doglnas as the Trinity, the
Incarnation, Atonement, and even
Eternal Punishment, are not to be
given up without an effort being
made to retain them, end to make the
new thought tributary to their fur
Their dominion over the minds of men
AS Universalists, we know what
Joseph Cook has attempted for the
old Calvinism, and how he has modi
fed the old doctrines and dressed
them up in the nineteenth century
habiliments. His famous dictum of
the "permanencv of evil character,
with its logical results on the future
of souls, has undoubtedly given a
new lease of life to the old orthodoxy
and fastened more securely in m any
minds the substantial results of the
Calvinistic system.
Fallacious as the reasoning un-
doubtedly is. and without support in
any true philosophy or the Word of
God. the result has been to read lust
the old orthodoxy to the changed
conditions of thought, and to furnish
what many believe to be new and
invulnerable basis in philosophical
thought for the final damnatory idea
of the elder Calvinism. What is true
of Mr. Cooks labors in this respect is
also true of many other advocates of
the old dogmas.
Hence we say that it is wise to re-
member that the old dogmas are in
process of reconstruction without de-
parting from the core of ancient be-
liefs. What Joseph Cook has at
tempted to do for the doctrine of
eternal punishment, Theodore Nun
ger, Newman Smyth. and the "pro-
gressive orthodoxy" of the Andover
school, are doing for other articles of
the old creed. The new orthodoxy,
whether based on the principles of
evolution or otherwise, is simply

The women Of Cleveland succeeded

-. Ine Women OF OIeVeIanu succeeded
in striking a severe blow at woman'e
suffrage Monday. At the primaries OF
the Republican party, the woman's can d.
didate, Mrs. Avery, failed to obtain a re-
nomination for the school council, solely
because the women themselves did not

did two years ago. Mrs. Avery would
have been nominated. but only TAO of

nN. All, 'IN the providence of
w no0iuenIS III God there are no ac-
'n0 Io'Iuonoe cidents." This we'll
'0' known phrase, attrib-
uted to the late DIR. Miner, came to us
wildly when we learned of the death of
Rev. w. A. Start. under the distressing
circumstances recorded elsewhere. 1t is
phrase which, amid the gloom of such
an occasion as that in Boston last Thurs
day, points us to the one unerring source
of consolation, namely, that God rules
over and amid the mysteries which 20
closely envelop our mortal lives,-my g.
teries that sometimes plunge US without
warning into the darkness of a sudden
eclipse. We cannot explain how these
things occur, or how they may be
brought into harmony with infinite wis
dom and love, but the only resource for
us IN such an emergency is the convic-
ton that although clouds and darkness
are around Him." everlasting righteous
and an Immutable Love, reigns over the
history of man from the cradle to the
grave. Without this solid conviction
firmly settled in the mind, and the con-
seriousness that the Everlasting arms"
are around us, life would be a darker
mystery and death more inexplicable
horror.
,u.,,: MONDAY, March 1st.
'i'' day of REV. WILLIAM
AUGUSTUS START. 1t is a strange CO.
incidence that on that day he attended
the funeral of young man who was &C
cidently killed. Under the unseen shad-
ow OF his own impending death, he used
the above quoted words of DIR. Miner,
and drew from thence the lesson of faith
which they teach. Those of us who knew
Bro. Start need no assurance that this
faith was one of the deeply rooted con
victions OF his Christian life. The earn.
est and tireless worker for the Univer-
salist Church, faithful in that which is
least and also in that which is greatest;
the simple hearted, loving friend of his
brethren in the ministry; the affection
ate husband and father whose home was
ever solace and delight. was suddenly
summoned to the eternal world and his
everlasting home with those notable
words almost upon his lips. Their con
ISOLATION will abide for the comfort of
his bereaved friends now that the fam
iliar scenes of this earth will know Will
liam A. Start no more forever. 1t is a
beautiful coincidence that one so sud-
denly taken from us. and in this tragic
manner, should go hence, impressing in
his last public service this one great
lesson of faith. that "in the providence
of God, there are no accidents"

Some phrases relating to our pet aver
sions uttered innocently in our hearing
act like triggers TO shoot off the big charges
of protest which have fairly boiled within
us. Some word or sentence used by an
unsuspecting somebody suddenly reminds
us of a lot of things which exist some
where in the mind of another man who is
not innocent Of offensive heresy. Then
away we go-hot in pursuit of that limo
cent soul whose convictions do not war at
all against our own. If we have waited
long for target to receive that hot am
munition simmering within us, we bang
away at the first innocent soul who
touches the verbal ''set-trigger Was
it Paley or Whately who said that three
quarters of the logical and theological
wars in the world are really but verbal
differences 1t is a correct dictum, who
soever voiced it.

A Non-Sectarian Lent.
(ChIistian Wo k.l

Let Chris tians, then, of whatever de-
nomination, unite with their fellow Chris
tians in observing this period whose right
improvement will bring profit to every
devout soul. In time, perhaps, the Len
ten season will grow in the favor of all
the churches as the blessed Christmas and
Easter-tide have grown. Indeed, Lent is
growing in favor, as its observance is in
creasing every year. Enter, then, the
temples of your Episcopal friends where
those of your own denomination are closed,
and get that measure of spiritual refresh
ment which comes to every devout soul in
putting aside for time the pleasures of
the world and seeking communion with
the Father of all mercies.
