CObb preached “A Look Forward” and said in part, speaking from the text II_John's: For about 90 years this soclety Has been laboring to establish and exem- plify the truth as it is in Jesus. A g0od work has been wrought, there has been fidelity on the part of the bellevers in Universal salvation, there ‘has been honesty and sincerity of pur- pose that has kept the believers loyal and fiem. For 89 years there was a church ‘building that stood on the corner across the street as the religious home or the house of worship for the be- lievers in and professors of this par- ticular form of interpretation of Scrip- ture. That church, which is the body of bellevers, is alive today as much as_ever. Now we are beginning on a new year and T ask you as did St. John of a certain honorable woman = with her children to_ persevere in Christian love and belief lest they lose the re- ward of their former profession, “look to vourselves that ve lose not those things which ye have gained but that ye receive a tull reward. G 1 ask that we with Paul may be able to say, “We have fought a good fight, we have kept the faith” and let us add we are going to do our full duty and find pleasure in our service. for, unlike Paul, we have not vet finished our course. Can_you not_see before You a new, beautiful church building. with all the equipment for doing a grand and glo- rious service? Let us recall some of the things that have been wrought by the Universal- ist chureh. It has convinced people that we are not as bad as we have been painted; that we do belleve in God, Christ, man, the Bible, and salvation. It has been and still Is said that we do not be- lieve in punishment, notwithstanding that it has been constantly proclaimed that we believe in the certainty of just retribution for sin. For years this church has been ad- vocating the Universal Fatherhood of God. Although Jesus declared Himself as the Saviour of the world, the church at large has not accepted that truth, but the Universalist church has pro- claimed the truth of a Universal Sa- viour; that He is not a partial Sa- viour, but the Saviour of the world. This ‘church has wrought well for the establishment of the Bible rather than the authority of man about the Bible. The doctrine of Universal restora- tion was the doctrine of the first five centuries of the Christian church. It numbered among its defenders the church fathers, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Didymus the Blind, Gregory of Nyssa Diodorus of Tarsus, Theo- dore of Mopsuestia. Eusebius of Caes- area and Theodoret. It was taught in the theological school at Alexandria and probably in the schools of Caesarea, Antioch and Edessa. This chureh has had a noble past, now we must look to the future. We do not know, we cannot tell, what the little things, the little tasks, the com- mon duties faithfully performed, will do for us in the bringing of new op- portunities to our hand. If we think we are a small body, what shall we do with it and for it? ‘We should use jt for God and admin- ister what we have with devotion so that its blessed influence shall be felt by every individual, for ultimately its blessed truths shall save the world. Keep the faith. Pray. Be ready always to give an aswer to everyone that asketh you for a_reason of the hope that is in you. Study to know why you believe as you do. Strive to live as you believe.” Be true to the highest principles and ideals that the church sets forth. So live that it may be said of you & “In every act, in every thought He lived the precepts which he taught.” Our faith is radlant with the of God’s love. ight It is a great privilege that all believers have to speak -for the faith. Radiate the “faith that makes faithful.” Be loyal. That “ye receive a full reward.” The reward comes from faithful ef- fort and service in behalf of the truth and the chugeh, Your reward will be a mew church home with all conveniences for great- er activity and efficiency. It will also be a larger church with larger oppor- basis and attain the pro- | and happy homes, world a better, sweeter, more virtuous and prosperous place in which to dwell There is a rich motive for loyalty and a t reward therefor’in the satisfaction of having been fall to the principles in which vou of having kept the faith. The watc ‘word for this new y®ar should be “Ev- ery man, woman and child to_their task_to the task for the good of all. Leét us then look forward with hope and joy and trust and see the future with its brightness and glory. “Look to yourselves that ye lose not those things which ye have gained, but that ye receive a full reward. At Methodist Church. - Because of the sickness of Dr. M. 8. Kaufman, at the Methodist church Sunday morning Rev. Dr. Lewellyn Pratt, pastor emeritus of Broadway Congregational church,was the preach- er. The Christmas music wes siven and thoroughly enjoy chotr— Mrs, Grace ~Aldrich Crowell, Mrs. Heléna M. Lord, Louis Brown and W. A. Lund—being heard in beautifully rendered anthems, the programme hav- ing been arranged by Miss Woodward, organist. At the evening service the musical programme was finely given, Costello Lippitt being in charge and reading a New Year's message from Dr. Kauf- man in which he referred te his illness as a blessing and expresed since ap- preciation for the many kindnesses shown him. He further said many events have made 1909 a memorable year and revealed the hand of God in human history as visibly as in any age of the world. One of the very finest achievements of the soul of man is the power to see God. There is only one possible way to secure this power and that is by living a pure life. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they (and they only) shall see God.” Such is not only the message of this New Year, but it is the message of all the centuries. The supreme purpose of the universe in its construction and furnishings and adjustments is to build men and women up into characters capable of congenial companionship with God. Not only does the entire universe lend itself to this end but the gospel of Christ is perfectly adapted to the same resuit. To me it is @ most significant fact that the demands of Christian experience ring true to the highest ethical note ever sounded by man or God. This means that Chris- tian character cannot be gained by fraud or any deviation from strict in- tegrity. . Righteousness is absolutely required. To be a Christian one must Dbe honest as death, reliable as the north star, genuine through and through. Hypocrisy is detestable alike to God and all true men. Purity of motive, purity of thought, purity of speech, purity of conduct, are all es- sential to Christian character, and the progress of the race depends upon Christian character. - The world is made better only as individuals are made better. We can have no higher aim for the New Year upon which we have just entered than to make it a year of character buildig. the build- ing of such a sturdy type of character as will stand any-and every test—the tests of time, the tests of death, the test of the fihal judgment, the tests of eternity. How grand and inspiring is the possihility of,building such a char- acter. It cannot be. done _without Christ's help. It can be done by every one of us with the help He is eager to supply every earnest soul. Let us gird up our loins for a splendid Tun through 1910. Why not make it the best of all the years thus fir lived by us? We can if we will. - - : For all of, you I wish, the. very best things that God has in' store for FHis most faithful children. “New stars for thy crown, new tokens of love, New gleams of the glory that waits thee above. New light of His countenance, radiant and clear, All this be the joy of the Happy New Year.” The church was tastefully decorated with holly, evergreen, flowers and mottoes, which was the work of Mrs. John C. Morgan and a company of young people. EX-MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets Sent Free. Within the last 20 years there has sprung into existence ‘theorics by the score relative to the kinds of food that human belngs should eat, and should avoid. With the tremendous increase in nervous and stomach diseases which are caused by the strenuous life of this neurotic, neurasthenic age in which we live, we are constantly having our attention called to some food faddist's “new idea” on the subject of alimenta- tion. Most prominent among these theo- rists is the vegetarian who Insists that meat was never intended for the hu- man stomach, despite the fact that his ancestors for 000 ¥ s or more, used it as their principal article of diet; and the old patriarchs of Biblical History who lived to prodigious old ages, were meat eaters All of the great nations of history have been users of meat, and all of the most powerful and advanced countries of today employ it extensively In their dietaries, and their superior develop- ment and high degree of civilization are In strong and striking contrast to the decadent and degenerate nations of Asia and the tropics, whose inhabi- tants are vegetarians, Another fallacy ‘which has lately be- come a fad, is the so-called “low-pro= teid” diet. Now, the foods which are rich In proteids are the ones which build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood, so that any great reduction in the amount of proteld used simply means semli-starvation for the most important centers of the system—the ones on which we depend the most to enable us to successfully fight the battles of II; Those nations whose people use foods containing but little proteid are never of large frame or well-built. The Jap- dnese, who have always been small of stature, have, since adopting a more liberal proteld diet. shown a remark- able increase in size. vigor and gen- eral development; and it is only since Japan became a meat-eating nation that it has developed into a world- powe: Still another theory lately advanced is that sugar, pepper and salt are gastric irritanis and irritate the m cous membrane of the stomach, al though it is known that sugar pos- sesses a high caloric value, while pep- per and salt assist digestion rather than interfere with it as Is claimed. The no-breakfast plan, the two-meal per day, and even the one meal dafly has been advocated, while some advise a two or three weeks' fust. during which all food Is withheld from the stomach “to give it a rest,” completely ignoring the fact that the system’s tis- sues are being constantly torn down and cast off, and new material to re- build them must be supplied from the food. It is utter nonsense Lo concern one's self about all these absurd and jlogi- cal theorles, as life is irely tou short, and there are other things re- quiring our attention. Eat what you want When you want it, and ss much as the system needs 10 replenish’ its waste, aad then take one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsis Tablets, and forget all about food fads and stomach tro: bles.
