AND SO THEY WERE M4RRIED.

Years ago there lived in Massachu-
sets town Justice of the Peace
known as Square Simmonds, Il man
noted for the ShOrtneSS of his memory.
He carried about with him slip of
paper on which was written the brief
marriage form which he used when
called upon to unite Il pair in the
bonds OF matrlmOny. He never in
trusted himself to begin the ceremony
without reference to this document.
One day, at Il country fair in the
neigh boring town, he was approached
by an elderly couple, who expressed
their wish TO be married then and
there. After some conversation the
Square" agreed to perform the cere-
mony on the spot; and the three, ac-
conpanied by Il grown-up daughter
OF the man and sister of the pros
pective bride, stepped into cOnve-
nient horseshed.
There the Square began a fruit
less search for the important paper,
growing more and more perturbed as
each succeeding pocket played him
false. At last he abandoned the
search.
Are you willing to marry this wo-
mann he asked the man, who replied
with a prompt Yes"
And you wait to marry him?"
asked the justice, turning to the
bride
Il DO" said she, with promptness
equal to the bridegroom's.
Then said the Square, in his
most impressive tone, Il hereby pro-
nounce you married, according to the
memorandum left at home in my
other trousers pocket"

"Will you obiige me by holding this
goat while | open this gate? 1t is
fastened on the inside, and find that
must climb over"
Such was the remark made by a
man standing at a gate in lonely
road, and it was addressed to u stall
wart sailor who had Just come up.
The only other object visible on the
long straight road was the old ram,
whose massive crooked horns were
being held by the man as the two stood
quite still in front of the gate
why sartingly,' said the obiiging
tar, as he seized the big horns.
u thank YOU" the first holder said
when he got to the other side. You
will, no doubt, be surprised to hear
that | never saw that ram until today.
The vicious brute attacked me about
an hour ago, and we have been tuSs-
ling together ever since. AS long rs
you stand before him holding his
horns firmly, lie can't hurt you.

in getting AWAY from him as | have

disturbed nobody in this country.
But you ought to have seen how those
French men and women looked at us.

pairs of angry eyes, and the man who
sat next to us clnched matters by eX-

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-02-06
PUNISHMENT,
By REV. F. F. BUCKNER.

The traditional theology which the
church inherited from the dark ages
teaches that God hates the sinner,
that his retributions are vindictive
and will be inflicted forever and for
ever, as the just deserts of such sins
as have been committed in this short
existence. The Universalist Church
has incurred the disfavor of other
churches because it has called this
cruel dogma into question. The dis
favor in which we are held is the con-
sequence of our denial of this teach
ing, which is the most horrible the
mind ever contemplated, or man ever
impaired to his brethren. We are
not deemed heretical because we do
not believe in punishment, but be-
cause we believe it will come to an
end. If we believed that it would
never end we would be called ortho-
dox instead of heterodox.
We, therefore, do not deny the fact
of punishment. We believe it. We
believe that so sure as man dis
obeys God, so sure will he be pun
ished. We believe that no punish
ment which is deserved can be trans
ferred; that no one can be made
a substitute and take our guilt upon
himself. The old theology says that
Christ was substituted for us, and
bore the sins of every transgressor.
We do not deny that Christ suffered
for mankind. OF course, he did, but
his were the agonies of compassion.
His sufferings declare to the world
that God is compassionate and not
vindictivs; that he not only feels for
man, but that he also hears the spar
rows cry when it falls to the ground.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-02-06

private hospitality. The instructions
given by Jesus to his disciples when
he sent them out to preach show that
traveller going from town to town
might expect entertainment not only
among his personal friends, but
among comparative strangers, and
that, too, without pay. In 1888 Ed
ward Robinson travelled through GER
tain regions where the ancient GUS
toms still prevailed, and was received
everywhere as guest without ex-
pense; an offer to pay was regarded
as insulting.
Among the elements of Jewish
family life the feasts, require at least
brief mention. Though the three
great feasts were observed at Jerusa-
lem and the obligation to attend them
them was laid only on the male men,
bers of the family, yet the women
often went voluntarily, as did Mary
the mother of Jesus, and the passover
meal itself was observed as a family
feast. Then the father explained to
his children the origin and signifi-
canoe of the feast in accordance with
the command of Elk. 1926, 81. Even
those who remained at home were
reminded of the feast by the seven
DAYS exclusion of leaven from the
house (Ex. II: 10, 2U. Among the
influences that were at the same time
Intellectually educative and quicken
ing to patriotism and religion, and
which tended to connect family life
with both, the feasts we're of the
highest Importance.
1t was into a Jewish home of the
hum bier sort that Jesus was born.
There was none Of the elegance or
the enervation that come with wealth.
Industry must have excluded bitter
poverty, which was in any case rare
among the Jews, but Joseph, the vii
lage carpenter, probably never gave
to his family of sons and daughters
Mark 6:3) more than the ordinary
comforts of life. The glimpses we
are afforded of the life in that home,
elevated by love and permeated with
religion, lead us to think of it as a
noble example of the noblest type of
family life the ancient world knew.
Further than this only reverent
imagination guided by knowledge of
him who came forth from that home
to be the worlds Teacher and the
worlds Saviour can carry us.-Bib-
heal World.
