press it must not forget that it is itseli
by no means ideal. Newspapers differ
as much as Individuals. The faults oil
the press and the pulpit are the faults
OF individuals Of whom they are the
products.
But recognizing the impossibiity of
perfection we yet have the right to de-
mand that the public press shall be
marked. first by accuracy, second by
decency. and third by definite ideals.
There are perhaps half dozen daily
papers in New York that are substan-
TALLY accurate, that are characterized
ny moral self-restraint, and more or less
lofty ideals. There are, however, sew
eral New York papers that are neither
as accurate or as decent as we have a
right to expect.
DIR. Eaton then severely deprecated
many OF the features to be found in the
sensational newspapers. and said:
The press. like the pulpit, has become
badly sensational. AS people we love
too much personal gossip. Let us raise
the level of public feeling and opinion
by the encouragement of art, by the de-
velopment Of literature and the rational
Interpretation of religion. The pulpit,
theatre. and press rise and fall upon the
shoulders of the people.

MISSOURI NOTES.
KANSAS CITY.

Since our last communication the
pastor and parish have had the pleasure
of call from Rev. II. B. Bard. who was
on his way to take up the work of our
church in Omaha, Nsb. Bro. Bard
preached most acceptably for US jan
uary 81.
The pastor is at present giving spe-
cial series of sermons, the fret of which,
delivered, February 7. was on the "Un-
written Beatitude."
The Ladies' Society of our parish
have lately received most kindly and
timely gift from Mrs. Eliza E. Treat. of
Grinnell. Iowa. Some time ago the
ladies lost quite large sum of money
through the failure of bank. This so
aroused the sympathies of Mrs. Treat
ito whom be it known we are all strang-
ers) that she wished to do something to
help us. Her desire has materialized
most acceptably. and the ladies return
her hearty thanks for the kind thought
and deed. Would there were many more
Universalists like her.
January % our Y. p G. U. held a
most successful photograph entertain
ment, the receipts of which were about
twenty nine dollars.
BOWLING GREEN.
We are glad to announce that Bowl.
ing Green is soon to begin a series of
missionary services under the leader
ship of Rev. John Hughes. This activ-
ity will probably result in the perma-
nent establishment of our faith at this
point. Bowling Green. as we'll as st.
Louis, is a strategic point of great worth
in the missionary operations of Univers.
alism in Eastern Missouri. We wish
Bro. Hughes's efforts large success.

BROWNING'S VIEW OF LIFE.
Subject of DIR. Shutters Lecture at LON
bard Last Week.

DIR. Shutter, of Minneapolis, delivered
lecture on "Browning's Interpretation
of Life" before a fair-sized audience at
Lombard University, Wednesday after
noon, Feb. 10.
He said in part: Life fades and van
ishes like vapor cloud touched by the
sun. But il we mean that life is not
substantial we are wrong. In this lec-
ture we will consider how Browning in
terprets the complex structure of ex-
periences; what inspiration he gives us.
Although somewhat obscure writer,
yet through his obscurities enough light
can come to reveal the hidden thought.
l regard his writings as the greatest
since those Of Shakespeare. Browning
sees very little in nature and cares very
little for what he does see. He, when
studying man, does so through the in
dividual rather than through the mass.
He asks himself. WHAT is life? Why
was l brought into this world, and will
the outcome be worth the trials?
Browning was not wealthy. and he
had none of those outward advantages
which many had. He believes in man.
He recognizes the evil. but points out
that in the evil the victories rest upon
the good. He believes that there is
something in life worth working for.
Farrar speaks of him as an invincible
optimist, thoughtful and intelligent.
Browning does not regard God as a
magnified man with magnifed passions.
To him God is a personal guide and
Saviour OF men. What the dew drop is
to the ocean; what the grain of sand is
to the desert. so is mans love when
compared to Gods love. Browning
measures man not by his outward
achievements but by his ideal. Profess
sions and other occupations subserve
character. The question is not whether
W, have been su ccessful in the building
Of our fortunes but in the building of
our character. He believes in the con-
tinuity of life. Thus l have tried to
show in this superficial and discursive
way what bright view Mr.. Browning
takes of life."
