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 man, 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 novine 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.

66

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

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

THE MANFORD MEMORIAL.

The July number of this Magazine, contained an account of a Memorial Window, being put in the church of Redeemer in this city-the Second Universalist - and the appropriate services the Sabbath following the completion of this work. The memorial occupies the entire window and is of the finest stained glass artistically designed, rich and beautifully varied in color. The central panel is a large and accurate representation of Millet's famous painting "The Sower." On the Sabbath referred to, Rev. Charles Conklin, the pastor of the church of Redeemer, preached an able sermon on "The Sower," paying high tribute to Rev. Erasmus Manford the earnest and faithful sower of the word, whose field was the great West. At the conclusion of his sermon, the editor of this Magazine delivered the following brief address by invitation:

Respected friends and brothers-The indebtedness of the Universalist denomination to its early ministers, is but partially realized-perhaps I should say, that it is not realized at all by the present generation.

He

If it was fully comprehended, I think that our zeal as a church, would be greatly increased. A memorial window has been put into this beautiful church, to commemorate the life and labors Rev. Erasmus Manford. lived and died in this city-yet but very few in this presence have any definite idea of what he was, or what he did, or how much our whole church are indebted to him, for his fifty years of continuous labor as a self-appointed missionary of the grace of God to men in the great West. And no one here can comprehend the difficulties, discouragement, and trial that beset his way.

Or the abuse, contempt,

and scorn, he was obliged to bear in the prosecution of his work. These things must be experienced, in order to be known.

The simple prefix of Rev. placed before his name, only indicated the calling to which he devoted the masterly energies of his life; and he added no suffix. He was not a man who labored for high sounding titles, or who gloried in forms and ceremonies. He never sought for the influence of his friends to gain the degree of Doctor of Divinity from any insti
