This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

PREFACE.
This number of the Reoistbr has been compiled with great care and at no little expense, yet It is doubtless imperfect; but, if errors are fonnd in the statistics given, it Is hoped that those who notice them wlU use their Influence to secure more complete and accurate returns for ftature numbers.
Some new and interesting matter will be found in this number, whicli will add to its value, and should make it wanted in every Universalist home.
The Register is considered indispensable as a book of reference, and is published for the benefit of the Denomination, and, usually, at an expense not realized flrom its sales. This being the case, it is expected that the denominational press, clergymen, and others in- terested, wUl help to make It known, and extend its circulation.
Cordial thanks are rendered to those who have helped to ftimish material for this number, and an earnest request is hereby made that the statistics for 1868 be forwarded early ttom all parts of the country.

Under its auspices eighty-five thousand dollars ($85,000) have been raised as a permanent endow- ment Aind for Lombard University, and about seven thou' sand dollars ($7,000) for missionary purposes. The Con- ference has also saved fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) worth of church property, by rendering aid to the feeble and em- barrassed societies. It has aided several societies to secure able and faithful pastors. It has assisted several young men in preparing for the ministry. At its meetings more than forty thousand dollars ($40,000) have been pledged for local and special purposes. The sum of its labors for a year and three months may be stated at one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180,000), secured for denominational purposes.

Schools. — 1. Clinton Liberal Institute, Clinton, eight miles from Utica, is under the control of the State Conven- tion. It was founded in 1831, and is thus, by many years, the oldest of our literary institutions. However much of benefit it has conferred upon the denomination in past years, it has never, probably, been in a better condition to do good service than it now is. An extensive course of study has been arranged, and the students receive diplomas after com- pleting the course. The school is under good supervision, the instruction thorough, the discipline mild but firm, and a moral and social influence pervades the school and boarding- bouses. Whole number of students for the past year, 253 ; gentlemen, 184; ladies, 119. Attendance: fall term, 156; winter term, 190 ; summer term, 85.

or, in round numbers, one million dollars, as the year's addition to the permanent resources of the denomination.
The trarment contributions for the year, or annual expen- ditures, cannot be ascertained with any very near approach to accuracy. An approximate estimate has been made, as follows :
Of the 512 ministers in fellowship, it may be presumed that four-fifths of them are In active service, and on salaries averaging $700 — which would require . $287,000
The 700 organized societies spend probably for repairs, music, fUel, light, services of sexton, &c., an average of $200 — making 140,000

From the above it appears that our bequests aud contribu- tions for special purposes during the year have amounted to nearly twice the sum of our regular annual expenditures for the support of public worship, Sunday Schools, denomina- tional books, periodicals, And educational institutions, all together. Is this true of any other denomination ? Will it ever be the case with us any future year ?
BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.
Rev. Ammi Bond died in Conneaut, Ohio, Jan. 3, 1866, aged 63. A native of New Hampshire, his early life was spent in that State and in Vermont. At 16 he became a member of the Methodist Church. He afterwards resided two years in Quebec (where he married) and in Montreal, removing thence to Philadelphia. Here he attended upon the ministry of the late Rev. S. R. Smith, and became a confirmed and happy Universalist. His attention was soon called to the gospel ministry. Removing to Vermont, he was fellowshipped by the Green Mountain Association, in 1832. The next year he was ordained, and he was after- wards settled in Carroll, N. Y., Saybrook, Ohio, Adrian, Mich, Monroe, Ohio, Beaver, and Pittsburg, Pa. He had resided in Conneaut, Pa., and vicinity, since 1843, till last summer, when he removed to Conneaut, Ohio.
Mr. Bond was an acceptable preacher in our connection some thirty-five years. Having a strong and logical mind, he possessed more than ordinary pulpit power. For two years he had sufiered much from disease, his mind falling with his body ; but he died as he had lived, in hope of a re-union with all he had loved and lost, in the Home Im-

mortal. He left a widow and seven children to moam his loss.
Captain Nathaniel G. B. Dexter, familiarly known as Grandpa Dexter, died in Pawtucket, R. I., April 8, 1866, aged 77. He was a native of Groton, Mass., but removing early in life to Pawtucket, he became a member and subse- quently a teacher in a Sunday School established there, after the model of the English Sunday Schools. An interest in Sunday Schools was thus awakened, which he retained after they assumed a strictly religious character, and which he carried with him to the day of his death. In his old age it was his greatest delight to visit them, and to address the pupils, who always hailed his coming with joy. He was an earnest advocate for temperance, never having tasted a drop of liquor in his life. Captain Dexter was a devoted Univer- salist, and a member of the Church in Pawtucket. He died calmly and sweetly in the faith he had adorned by a long and exemplary life. He was a teacher in the first Sunday School in the United States.
SiLVANUs Packard, long connected with the School Street Church, Boston, died in April, 1866, at the advanced age of 76. He was blest with great wealth, the larger portion of which he gave to Tufts College. He had been a generous benefactor of the institution from its start, and, dying with- out issue, he bequeathed the bulk of his large estate to pro- mote its usefulness in years to come. It is understood that besides other and far greater benefits to the College, his will contemplates the endowment of a theological pro- fessorship, the education annually of ten students free of charge, and the expending of $200 annually for prizes, to encourage general excellence.

Rev. Theodore Clapp died in Louisville, Ey., May 16, 1866, aged 74. He was a native of Easthampton, Mass., and a graduate of Williams College, in the same class with William Cullen Bryant. His theological studies were pur- sued at Andover, and he was licensed as a minister of the Presbyterian Church in 1817. *' In 1822," says the Star in the West^ ^^he became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of New Orleans, succeeding the brilliant and elo< quent Sylvester Larned, whose fame as a pulpit orator is yet one of the traditions of the Mississippi Valley. As pastor of this church Mr. Clapp achieved great celebrity, and became widely known for effective pulpit gifts and the highest order of sacred eloquence. Henry Clay pronounced him the most natural pulpit orator he ever heard. His church in New Orleans was invariably crowded, and for many years he was one of the most popular pulpit orators of America. Some ten or twelve years after his settlement in New Orleans, changes occurred in his theological opinions, which led to the dissolution of his relations with the Pres- byterian Church. He was deposed from the office of the gospel ministry for heresy, and was afterwards known as an independent minister, cherishing Unitarian and Universalist opinions. The change in his relations with the Mississippi Presbytery did not, however, involve a separation from his parish. The church building at an earlier date had passed under the control of the well-known Hebrew millionnaire, Judah Truro, and by his liberality Mr. Clapp occupied the church and preached to his old hearers, deriving his salary from the income of the pew rents, which income was placed, under the immediate control of Mr. Clapp. His pastoral services will long be remembered with gratitude in New

Orleans. During twenty seasons of epidemical cholera and yellow fever, Mr. Clapp was at the post of duty, and by his ministry of consolation carried comfort to the great multi- tudes stricken by the pestilence. His ^ Autobiographical BecoUections ' is largely devoted to incidents pertaining to these memorable seasons, and is one of the most interesting volumes ever published. Several years ago, failing health compelled him to relinquish the pastoral charge of the church at New Orleans, since wliich time he has lived in compara- tive retirement in Louisville. His death, it seems, was not unexpected, his health being very feeble for some time pre- vious to his decease. The Louisville Journal^ in announcing his death, says : ' He seemed to have no particular disease, and his dissolution seems to have been the result of a general giving away of the whole system, mental and physical. The mortal machinery was worn out, and at length ceased to perform its fbnctions. His reason forsook her august throne weeks ago, and did not, so far as we are advised at the pres- ent writing, return to it.' Mr. Clapp leaves a widow and two sons to weep over his departure."
Major General Ltsander Cutler died at his home in Mil- waukee, July 80, 1866. A native of Royalton, Mass., early in life he removed to Dexter, Me., where he acquired the reputation of being an enterprising business man. Much of the prosperity of that growing manufacturing town is owing to him. At last, meeting with reverses, he removed to Mil- waukee, where he resided at the breaking out of the rebel- lion. Tendering his services to the Governor of the State, he was appointed to the command of the 6th A¥isconsin regiment. In the second battle of Bull Run he was severely wounded in the thigh, from the effects of which he never ftilly r«coyered, though in a few weeks he resumed his post

in the army, and was promoted to a Brigadiership. He led the first column that met the rebels on the bloody field of Gettysburg, and was in the whole of that terrible strife, having three horses shot from under him, but escaping un- harmed. He was with the Army of the Potomac in its ter- rible struggles in the march of the Wilderness and the siege of Richmond. Receiving a wound in the face at the taking of the South Side Railroad, he was granted leave of absence, and was finally detailed, on account of infirmities, on special service in Michigan. At the close of the war, after receiv- ing the appointment of Major General by brevet, he resigned his commission, and re-engaged in business in Milwaukee.
If his army record was honorable, his devotedness to Universalism was no less so. In Dexter, Me., he was for many years the heaviest paying member of the society. Wlien in Milwaukee tliere was no Universalist meeting, he was an attendant of the Unitarian Church ; but when the time arrived for the establishment of a Universalist Society, he was one of the first to enroll his name as a member, and to give his means and influence in favor of the movement. He did not live, however, to see but the beginning, and he passed away before his hopes for a permanent society in his Western home were fully realized. In his death a loyal people were bereaved, a young society met with a heavy loss, and a widow and several children and grand-children were left to mourn. He died at the age of 59.
Rev. Sbth Barnes, the successful and beloved pastor of the church in Minneapolis, Minn., died suddenly in a fit of apoplexy, Sunday morning, August 12, 1866.
Awaking that morning, he conversed in a cheerful, hope- ful spirit, and was feeling better than usual, his health hav- ing been poor for some time. After partly rising from his

bed, he laid back again, and passed away without a groan. We have heard that he often expressed a wish to die in this way. His sermon was lying on the table, and the last words were these : ^^ He hath tasted death for every man." In this faith Br. Barnes died. In the full belief of God's love, and power, and eternal goodness, he passed victoriously on. His last delivered sermon was from the text, '*For the spirit it- self beareth witness with oar spirit that we are the children of God."
Brother Barnes was much beloved by his congregation, with whom he had been connected eleven years, and for whom he had labored well and faithfblly. As a man and a citizen he enjoyed a large share of the confidence of his neighbors and fellow-citizens, arising from his kindness and urbanity, no less than from his interest in all that concerned the pros- perity and welfare of his place of residence. The end of such a man is peace ; the pain is to those who are left be- hind. His loss fails heavily upon our whole church in the West, and especially upon the Universalists of Minnesota.
He left a wife in feeble health, to whom he had been more than husband, to mourn her irreparable loss.
Of Mr. Barnes' age, and the history of his ministry, we have no particulars. This short notice we have culled from our Western papers. The biography of such a man should be written and preserved.
Dr. John Brooks, long and favorably known in the Universalist denomination, died at the place of his residence in Bemardston, Mass., Sept. 9, 1866. He was born in Worcester, Jan. 12, 1783. His early advantages for obtain- ing an education were limited, and he was religiously taught the strictest doctrines of the Calvinistic faith. But a reten- tive memory enabled him to overcome, to some extent, the

AND ALMANAC FOR 1M7. 77
deficiencies in his early school-life, while it made him thor^ oughly familiar with the doctrines in which he was reared. At the age of sixteen he commenced teaching, by which he obtained means to attend an academy a few terms. His preparatory medical studies were pursued with the celebrated Dr, Kittredge, of Walpole, N. H. ; and he commenced practice in Newfane and Dummerston, Vt., at the age of 28.
While pursuing the duties of his profession, his attention was called to questions of religious doctrine ; and a diligent study of the Scriptures brought him to the belief of the final salvation of a world. In connection with his practice, he entered upon the duties of a Christian minister. In 1622, he removed to Bemardston, Mass., and became the pastor of the Universalist Society there, preaching also in neigh- boring towns, as opportunity offered. After a few years, a difficulty in his throat compelled him to relinquish regular public speaking, and he gradually withdrew from the minis- try, devoting himself entirely to the practice of medicine, which he steadily pursued till within a few months of his death.
Dr. Brooks was an excellent citizen, and his interest in every good cause made him to be respected in the commu- nity. His townsmen showed their appreciation of his worth by electing him seven years to the State Legislature ; and he filled the duties of his office with dignity and honor.
As a physician, he was skilled and faithfbl. Few excelled him. His interest in his patients was not one of dollars and cents, but of hearty sympathy. He is remembered with gratitude in many families.
Aged as he was, he emphatically lived in the present rather than in the past, being deeply interested in and thor- oughly conversant with the religious and political affairs of the country to the day of his death. Of commanding pres-

ence, with a large Aind of knowledge, a perfect treasury ot anecdote and story, he was a pleasant and instructive com- panion, and conld entertain a philosopher or amuse a child. As a preacher, he is favorably remembered by the older citizens of Bemai^dston and vicinity ; and much of the lib- eral sentiment prevailing there is to be ascribed to his early labors. He was one of the ex-ministers who are a blessing to the society with which they are connected. He was deeply religions in his nature, and benevolent in his disposi- tion. Till within a few years of his death he occupied a place in the choir, and nothing but absolute necessity could keep him from church on the Sabbath. He died, as he had lived, in the faith of the gospel, falling sweetly and gently to sleep on the Lord's day — that of all the week he loved best.
Rev. Henrt Lton died in Williamsburg, N. Y., Sept, 16, 1866, aged 52. We have no means of learning the exact date of his entrance upon the ministry, which extended over a period of about thirty years. He was long and favorably known to the Universalist public as the Publishing Agent of the '^ Ambassador," and the publisher of Universalist books in New York City. Those who a few years ago were accus- tcHned to frequent the " Ambassador " office, will always re- member his genial smile, his quiet demeanor, and his accom- modating spirit, manifested alike to all. Free from jealousy, from envy, from peevishness, from all the foibles which make the character unamiable, he possessed the positive virtues of a loving heart, a true fidelity, a consecrated de- votion to what he deemed Christian truth, and to the means by which that truth is to be disseminated among men.
Three years before his death, while attending the New York Convention, he contracted a violent cold, which rapidly

AND ALMANAC FOB 1807. 79
developed a pulmonary consumption. Violent hemorrhages of the lungs followed, by which he was completely pros- trated, and brought near the grave. He rallied, however, and, though subject to frequent attacks of bleeding, was able to attend to business, and even preach at intervals. His disease reached its crisis about ten days before his death. He was conscious that the inevitable hour was at hand, and, making such preparations as were necessary, he committed himself, with child-like confidence, to the hands of his Heavenly Father. A wife and a large family of chil- dren, with a wide circle of attached friends, mourn the loss of a good man and a sincere and devout Christian.
• Rev. H. L. Bingham, a recent graduate of the Canton Theological School, died in the autumn. Dr. Fisher says of him :
'^ He entered the Theological School in September, 1865, and, after remaining in it some months, left under the sad coercion of failing health ; but with a hope, destined never to be realized, of returning under more favorable conditions to consummate the cherished purposes of his life. The great love and longing of his heart was for the Christian ministry ; and such earnest devotion, joined to good talents, and a win- ning disposition, sincere, generous, and manly, would no doubt have made him useM and beloved therein.
Had his life been spared, his work would, I doubt not, have been at once honorable to God, useful to man, and gratifying to himself. However bright such prospects might seem, our Heavenly Father has called him away from them all to himself; because he had a better use and service for him- This must be true, if our Father acts on a wise and true economy, which of course he does.
His decease is a loss to the denomination ; for such noble

young men are our jewels. His name will often be recalled with a kind remembrance, and a sympathetic word, by many who knew and loved him."
Mr. Bingham left a wife, amiable and talented, and quite widely known by the productions of her pen, with whom he had been united but a few months, to mourn his loss.
Rev. Charles W. Mellen, pastor of the church in Taun- ton, Mass., depaited this life, after a short but distressing illness, Oct. 22, 1866. A native of Phillipston, Mass., he was born June 18, 1818. At the age of seven he removed with his parents to Greenfield. He received his education in the town of Hardwick. With a view to the ministry, he studied with Rev. J. H. Willis, preaching his first sermon in Stafford, Conn., where Mr. Willis was then settled. His first settlement was in Royalton, Mass., in 1839. His sev- eral subsequent settlements were in Orange, Foxboro', Can- ton, Chelmsford, Wej^mouth, Dorchester, and Taunton.
Mr. Mellen was a consecrated minister. It is great praise to say, that he never did harm ; it is greater praise to add, that he always did good. His manners were simple. He had no ostentation. He always felt what he said. In his entire ministry, he was profoundly and thoroughly sincere. He had unusual ability and excellent culture, though not of that showy quality which is called popular. He was in- dustrious. He knew his duties, and he performed them. He was heartily devoted to every good work. The cause of temperance had in him a champion ; and in his death the slave and the freed man may sincerely mourn. He was hab- itually cheerful. When he gave his hand, a smile always accompanied the act. By his decease, a denomination oi Christians suffers a loss that will long be felt. He was re- spected by all persons of all denominations, and his suddes

death was motimed by the whole community in which he lived.
He left a wife, with whom he had lived twenty-six years, to moam the loss of one of the kindest of companions.
Bey. Stlvahus Cobb, D.D., departed this life at his resi- dence in East Boston, Mass., Oct. 31, 1866. Dr. Cobb was bom in Norway, Me., July, 1788, and died at the venerable age of sixty-eight years and three months. His early edu- cation was wholly under Orthodox influences ; but early in life he became a Universalist, and this without the help of any teacher, or any book but the Bible. For several years, when quite young, he was a successful teacher in the winter schools of his native county. His preparatory theolc^cal studies were pursued with the Rev. Sebastian Streeter, and his first sermon was preached in the pulpit of his honored teacher, in Portsmouth, N. H., at the age of twenty-one. He was ordained at the session of the Eastern Associa- tion (now the Maine Convention), held in Winthrop in 1821. His first settlement was in Waterville, Me. where his ear- nest labors resulted, not only in the establishment of a vig- orous society, but also in the wide difibsion of the doctrine through the entire Kennebec valley. From Waterville he removed to Maiden, Mass., and became pastor of the society there, with equally successful results. After a pastorate of ten years he removed to Waltham. While there he started the Christian FVeeman. In 184 9 he moved to East Boston, where he resided till his death. Three years of the time he was the pastor of the East Boston society. His intellect and strength, however, were given to the care of the Free- manj and the toil and labor he bestowed upon it would have broken down a less vigorous constitution. In 1862 the Freeman and Trumpet were united. Dr. Cobb remaining as

Theological editor. Two years ago he retired firom edito- rial labor, after a service in that capacity of about thirty years.
Dr. Cobb was constantly engaged in writing. His teem- ing brain was ever elaborating ideas, to which he felt that he must give expression. Many of his earlier controversial sermons were published and widely circulated in Maine and elsewhere, doing good service for the cause. His '* Discus- sions" with Dr. Adams and Mr. Hudson, involving the subjects of everlasting punishment and the annihilation of the wicked, were also put into book form, after appearing in the columns of the Freeman. The " Compend of Divinity '* is an elaborate work, and recognized as a standard in the denomination. This series of books very fitly closed with his " Commentary on the New Testament," which is received with favor wherever it is known.
The Trustees of Tuft's College, recognizing his ability and learning, conferred upon him, two yeai's before his death, the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. It is seldom the degree is so worthily bestowed, or so gracefully worn. His merits as a writer, preacher, and theologian, are universally conceded, both in and out of the denomination. Among the stalwart minds which have done so much to establish the doctrine of universal salvation on a permanent basis, his will ever hold a conspicuous position. And he was a Universalist, not only in his creed. He was in hearty sympathy with the denomination. For it it was alike his pride and joy to labor. He saw, with a clearness of vision that few have, that the cause should be established on a right basis ; and, therefore, he was the earnest advocate of temperance, freedom, and every true reform.
Dr. Cobb had been in declining health for many months previous to his death, and was fully conscious that his work

was finished. During the suinmer he was accustomed to converse freely with his family of his approaching departure. He was always strong in the faith, always resigned, always cheerful and full of hope. Though his closing hours were those of unconsciousness, yet even in his delirium he was continually preaching, rehearsing the texts, '^ Praise the Lord ; " '' How great is his goodness." In a ripe old age he has passed away, and not only a family, but a denomina* tion mourns. ^^ The memory of the just is blessed."
Rev. Calvin Gardner, whose decease should have been noticed in our last issue, died very suddenly in Waterville, Me., March 23, 1865, aged sixty-six. He was a native of Hingham, Mass., and in his early life wrought steadily at his trade, in one of the mechanic arts. Becoming interested in the doctrine of universal salvation, he entered the minis- try in 1825, and the following year was settled over the society in Charlestown, Mass. He afterwards preached in Duxbury two years, and in 1830 accepted a call from the First Universalist society in Lowell. While in that city he projected and published, in company with another, the ^^ Uni- versalist and Ladies^ Repositji-y" now known simply as " The Ladie^ Jtepositoiy.*' In 1833 he removed to Waterville, Me., to take charge of the Universalist society there, made vacant by the removal of Rev. Sylvanus Cobb to Maiden, Mass. His pastorship in that beautiful village continued for twenty years. Afterwards he was settled two years in Province- town, Mass., at the expiration of which he returned to his home in Waterville, and devoted his time to the culture of his land, and the work of an itinerant. During his resi- dence in Maine, he was for several years an associate editor of the " Gospel Banner^*' and one year represented Water- ville in the State Legislature.

Br. Gardner was an able preacher. In the days of his manly strength few ministers exerted a wider influence. At the conventions and associations of Maine which he gener- ally attended, he was usually selected to deliver the closing sermon, as one who was sure to leave a good impression on the minds of those present. He always had something to say, and his hearers were sure to remember wJuU he said. Some of the best sermons the writer ever listened to came from his lips.
No man could be more highly respected in the community in which he lived, and none more lamented in death. He was twice married, leaving a widow, two daughters, and several grandchildren to mourn his loss.
OXJB CENTBNASrr,
The question has been raised during the past year, when the Universalist Centenary will occur. We have given the subject some thought, and have come to the conclusion that no time is so fitting for its observance as the year 1870, which marks a century fVom the landing of John Murray, at Good Luck, New Jersey. It is indeed true, as some have suggested, that Universalism had been preached in this country before that event. So was the doctrine of "justifi- cation by faith" preached and believed before Martin Luther*s day ; but it never, after the days of the apostles, became a living power in the church, till it came from the lips of the converted Monk. There were those who held to "perfect sanctification " before the time of the Wesleys; but none made it a central doctrine, till they preached it in England. So Universalism, after its condemnation by the Council of Constantinople, A. D. 553, never became a cen- tral thought — a living, burning power in the world — till it

was dispensed from the eloquent lips of John Murray, as he travelled through New England and the Middle States, preaching to listening and eager crowds. Then it began to exist as a'' distinctive doctrine, and its progress has been steadily onward to the present day. We believe our tnie Centenary will occur in 1870, rather than, as has been sug- gested, at the organization of the Church in Gloucester, Mass. ; and we trust suitable preparation will be made for its proper observance in that year. Let it be a year of jubilee ; of general rejoicing and activity through the denom- ination ; and of the laying of our free-will offerings on the altar of Universalism.
MISOPlTiTi A NBOXTB.
The True Apostles' Creed. — There is one God, and one mediator, between God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Tim. ii. 5, 6.
An Apt Reply. — Two little girls, one from an Episcopal family, and the other a Universalist, were conversing togeth- er on the sin of profane swearing. The little Episcopalian said ^' she would not swear, because if she did God would burn her forever." The little Universalist replied, " That would be worse than swearing, and a good God would do no such wicked thing." Was not the child's thought wiser than that of many an astute theologian?
Rightly Viewed. — An eminent divine. President of a New-England College, conversing with a student who was a Universalist, made the following candid admission : ^' Uni- versalism, rightly Tiewed, is the noblest and most ennobling

doctrine conceived by the human mind.*' However wrongly some professed Universalists may regard their doctrine, — and we are inclined to think there are many whose concep- tion of the truth is low and unworthy, — it seems that the divine above-mentioned himself had a correct idea of what Universalism really is. No other thought is so grand as that of a Deity overruling all things for good and bringing a world in love and obedience to him ; and none other other is BO well adapted to inspire sentiments of obedience and love in the hearts of those who rightly receive it.
Quoting Scripture. — A curious illustration of the kind of Scripture often quoted to prove controverted points, occurred in a village lyceum. The question under discussion was, whether *' spectres ever appear." One man stoutly con- tended for the negative, because the Bible says, " We are all rapidly approaching that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns " ; and when his opponent affirmed that the passage was not in the Bible, the reply was, " Well, if it is not in the Bible, it is in the hymn-book." It is needless to say that the question was decided in the neg- ative, for the evidence was deemed authoritative. The joke of the thing was, that nobody present knew what the quota- tion was from, and none could tell but that it was in the hymn-book.
The Rule that Wouldn't Work Both Wats. — Old Father Pitts, of Winthrop, Me., was a life-long Universalist. He was a blacksmith, in moderate circumstances, with a large family to support. Father Thurston was the town's minister, for whose support all were taxed. When Mr. P. was called upon for his tax, he asked the collector to see if Mr. Thurs- ton would not consent to remit it, since he [Mr. Pitte] h*d

not attended Mr. T/s meetings during the year. Mr. Thurs- ton a reply was, " The doors are open ; it is your duty to attend ; the tax must be paid.*'
The next 3'ear when the collector called, Mr. Pitts pre- sented an account against Mr. Thurston for shoeing his horse, and requested the collector to ask the parson to per-* mit the account to offset the tax. The minister soon called in great excitement, expressing his astonishment at the charge on the blacksmith's books, and affirming that his horse had not been in Mr. P.'s shop for the year. *' I know it," was the reply, " but my doors are open; it is your duty to bring him, and I don't see but the account must be paid." Mr. Pitts was never again troubled with a tax for the sup- port of Mr. Thurston.
Ak Unfortunate Dilemma. A minister in another de- nomination than ours, once attempted to preach fVom the words found in Hebrews ii. 14, 15 : " Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself took part of the same : that through death he might destroy him that hath the power of death, that is, the devil ; and de- liver them who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage." '' I thought," said he, in relating it, " I understood the passage. I got along very well in de- stroying death and him that had the power of death ; but when I came to deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage, I found I was in diffi- culty. If I applied it to the righteous it seemed inappro- priate to say that they were in bondage to the fear of death ; and if I applied it to the wicked I found that they would then be saved. I closed my sermon as best I could. Though apparently satisfying my hearers, I did not satisfy myself: and from that hour a train of thought commenced which did

not cease till I embraced the doctrine of Universal Salva- tion." Was not the dilemma of that good man one in which every one, not believiog in Universalism, must find himself, who attempts to explain the passage? The above is an actual occurrence, and was related to the writer by the min- ister referred to.
Short and Expressive. — Rev. Seth Stetson, of Maine, now in his ninety-first year, like many other aged ministers, is dependent upon the free-will oflTerings of his friends for support. But no man ever, had a serener trust than he. "The Lord will provide," is his invariable reply to those who ask him how he expects to meet the exigencies of the fhture.
For many years it has been the pleasure of the brethren attending the Maine Convention, to make up a purse for his benefit. The first collection for this purpose was at the meeting in Turner in 1851. As the sum of fifty dollars was put in his hands by the Moderator, the old saint arose, and with streaming eyes, exclaimed, " Brethren, I thank the Lord — and you too ! "
Should any reader of this incident forward to him, in Brunswick, Maine, a New Year's or other donation, the donor will receive the good old man's trembling autograph, and, doubtless, an equally happy expression of gratitude.
