The Life That Now Is.

Rev. Dayid Utter, at Unity church
last Sunday, spoke most eloquently
in favor of a religion intended to
make better the life that now is.
He said: "The life Of Jesus was
one continued protest against formal
ity in religion. He was SO emphatic
in his rejection Of the holiness ideal
of His time. which included fasting
and Withdrawing from the world and
living apart from ones fellows, that
He was called "a glutton and wine
bihber.' He was repeatedly in trou-
BILE on account of the way He kept,
or did not keep, the Sabbath. Yet
the church that grew up and took His
name restored all the old formalities.
the long prayers, the many repetitions,
the holy days, the seasons Of fasting,
and that scparateness from the world
which carries the thought that true
holiness is inconsistent with whole
manliness.
To seek divine forgiveness in n
sacramental or ceremonial way, or to
atone for an unworthy year, during
Lent, by small, useless sacrifices,
seems TO me immoral IN effect, SO far
as it goes Its effect is choking off
the feeling of guilt Or unworthiness,
tine natural function of which is to
prompt to more worthy, helpful
and less selfish life.
"And my protest is against every
custom. usage or ceremony in religion
that weakens conscience.
This protest is the most pressing
need of the hour, IN an age when the
trend of so many poular teachings Is
to weaken conscience and substitute
all manner of superstitions and re
ligion of personal responsibility

NATURE AND GRACE,
From sPoenaa of Progress" by Lizzie Doten,


It has always been thought most critical case
For theology teaches that man, from the first,
Was sinner BY nature, and Justly accurst;
Which God had invented to save errpg man:
Twas the only atonement he knew how to make
To annpl the effects of bis ovn sad mistake.
Now, this the doctrine Of good Parson Brown,
Who preached, not long since, in small country-town
In describing the torturas Of sinners in hell,
That famous revival commenced in the place,
And hundreds Of souls found Salvation BY Grace''
But he felt that he had not attained his desire
Till he had converted one Peter McGuire
This was blacksmith, frank, fearless and bold,
With great hrawny sinews like Vulcan of old:
He had little respect for what minister's preach,
And sometimes was very grofape in his speech:
And he spoke as he thousht though he gave oenoe
But however wanting in whole or in part
He sound and all right when you to his heart
To the smithy Of Peter most hopefully went;
And there, while the hammer iniustriously swung,
Aud warned and entrested poor Peter to ay
From the pit of destruction before he should die,
And wash himself clean from the worlds sinful strife
In the blood Of the Lamb and the River of Life
Well, and what would you now be INCLINED to expect
Was the probable issue and likely edeots
From little black bottle took something to drink
And he said, "rll mention the blood Of the amb
But for th at river it aren't worth -"
He quietly added "a miil.dam, Of course
Quick out of the smithy the minister fled
As il big bomb shell had burst near his head
And, as he continued to haste on his way,
He was too much exGted to sing or to pray:
But hS thought how that some were elected BY grace
While others are doomed to the pains Of hell-tre
And if e'er there one such, twas Peter Mcclure.
