UNIVERSALISTS believe in ONE GOD-not a trinity of Gods.

2. They believe God to be the Father of mankind, hence all are his children, and that neither life nor death, time nor eternity, can sever that relation.

3. They believe God is good, merciful, just to all, and ever will be.

4. They believe God is the Governor of the universe, and that all men are amenable to his law; if they do well they are rewarded, if ill, punished, but that he will not torment eternally for the sins of this brief life.

5. They believe salvation is through faith and works-not Jewish works of the law, but Christian works.

6. They believe salvation is from sin, corruption and spiritual deathnot from an endless hell, or the wrath of God, who is love.

7. ...y believe men should love God because he loves them; be truthful from the love of truth; just and honest from the love of justice and honesty-not from fear of eternal woe.

8. They believe God will have all men to be saved, and being unchangeable that ever will be his will, hence will not shut up millions in hell forever God must change first, but that is impossible.

9. They believe the Bible contains a record of God's revelation to man-not that every word of it is a revelation.

10. They also believe God is now revealing himself through an, and through all nature.

II. They belie Jesus is the Son of God and savior of the world the he was God manifested in the flesh, and is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

12. They believe man in his essential nature is in huivine image, and that when the house he

now lives in returns to dust, he returns to God. Returning to dust is death; returning to God is the resurrection. Earth claims its own; heaven claims its own.

13. They believe that in heaven there are " many mansions," and that each goes to his own place. As the sun, moon and stars differ in glory, so with mankind in the "many mansions," and that these differences there result from the life lived here.

14. They believe that this view of the results of our earth-life tends to make men live righteously, godly, divinely.

15. They believe men are depraved by practice, not by nature, and there is good in all.

16. They believe that finally, depravity will yield to purity, sin to holiness, error to truth, damnation to salvation, death to life, hell to heaven, and God will be all in all. Amen.

17. They believe men are now and ever will be free agents.

18. They believe God calls on all now, and ever will call on all, to come up higher, higher, higher, and that all should strive to think higher, act higher, live higher-be Christ-like in spirit and character.

19. They believe all will finally heed the divine mandate, and walk in the ways of salvation.

20. They elieve all should be Christians every day of the week, and in all the vocations and relations of Christian fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, neighbors, citizens-Christian preachers, lawyers, doctor, merchants, mechanics, farmers, etc.

This is the sum and substance of their FAITH; and is it not Christian, reasonable, philosophical? Study it, believe it, practice it, and God will bless you now and forever.

TEE RUSSELL LECTURE-1888.

Gentlemen, Trustees, Faculty and Students of Tufts College:

The theme assigned by the founder of these lectures for the current year, is this: "The importance of Christian Faith and Belief in the formation of the character of the good man and good citizen." These explicit words are equivalent to four propositions or assertions: 1. Good men and citizens are possible. II. Such men and citizens are needed and desired. III. Character, the index and exponent of human quality, can be so moulded as to render men good. IV. Christian faith and belief are potential in the formation of good character. The task of the lecturer is to elaborate and explain these four propositions.

I. Good men and citizens are possible. I am not quite sure what the author meant by the phrase "good men and citizens." A good man is necessarily a good citizen; and a good citizen is necessarily a good man. A bad man cannot be a good citizen, or a bad citizen a good man. The idea that a bad man can be a good citizen, is absurd;-is

even unthinkable. The word "citizen" is redundant; I shall drop it, and speak only of good men.

Nor am I certain what the author of the theme meant by the word "man;" whether a person of the male sex, or anybody, male or female. An invidious distinction has long been made between men and women. While admitting that both are equally the immortal children of the same Father, and endowed alike with memory, affection, understanding and will, and that all ought to obey the moral law, the world has furnished schools for men and not for women, and positions, occupations and privileges for the one, and not for the other. Women are as susceptible to Christian faith and belief as men are, and as much need them; for the silver voice and gentle ways are important factors in building the good common wealth. I dislike any policy, any discourse, that ignores my sisters; and I shall therefore suppose that by 66 man," is meant men and women.

Good men and women are possible. Let us first try to form a correct idea of human goodness. A good man is one who does justly, loves mercy
