The most original feature of the report and the one which wIll naturally attract the widest of the ad. alcnlon , I the recommendation intent eneraj that the NatIonal guards of adjoIning stales be massell ( together at stated Intervals In a common camp In order that military evolutions upon a large scale may b. ' attcinijtod. With these Interstate encamp- menls the adjutant general would combine such portions of the regular army as coul.1 . be assembled without too great an expenditure of 1 0 IJ ) ' . Under the recommendations of the adjutant general , If congress should see fit to adopt them. the state troops of New York , l'cnn syl'anla , Massachusets , Connecticut and New'a Jersey might be united In a hugo camp ! of ltu.tructlon at stated Intervnls. Another Interstate . teutate encampment could comprlsD the tloOP ) of IndIana . Illinois . Iowa Minnesota , Michigan and \Vlsconsin. The masslnf of these large bodice of state troops , In he olllnlon of the adjutant gen- era ) . would go far toward enhancIng the esprit du corps of the National guard , would brIng the troops of the slveraL states up to a hhher standard of excellence and would le.I familiarize ofcers and men with military I .

Universalsm Is an expression of faith In t Itle unlnral Being What relation has this faith to thQ In- telIgence of the universe oC creatures ! The creeds , convents and parochial schools ! have molded tIme minds of their constituents . so thai , knowing the place ouch manner oC e ducailon . \\0 have known what would be th plan of mental work and ibm outcome. I has been said by c'tnImi schools of thought , "give us the chIld and you may have the 'outh and time man . hut he wi I remain ( rime to the Instructions received In L chidhood , " so much faith have they In the , moldlnlt Iroccs . TIme young mind Is started I with certain premises and Its conclusions arc I drawn for I , until It refuses to work upon m ammy other plan. Do we as Universalsts desire - sire Ihl ? IN OTmm AND OLDEN TIMBI3. I we do our faith has failed largely of Its desired results , for Instead of molding minds I develops them ; or , rather . I is I the slage oC development Crom whIch Inte1rence vIews God and Ills universe sees all things con distOtit i not It war with one another , but al I acting as part of one grand whole. Time theologians oC the past were wont 10 start In their process oC reasoning from certaIn moro or less arbitrary premises , and I once yon have the premise and we accept I i L you can prove timings true which wo know are not true Thus the religious thinkers accCllted the premise oC a partal God and 1 wo know sOle of the results. Helglous thought and life were entrely Inalln to any other Interests and the tie voices of religion must confine themsel\cs em'tlrely to the lines oC thought and actioc marked out In thD creeds. acton SclentLfc thought and investigation were looked upon as bearing no relaton to no - Iglol ; the authority of reason was not ad- mited In the religions ; every Inventor oC net S. tew conveniences for the work oC life con\nltnces le was pence cutcd , looked upon as an agent of tIme cvi II one , held back by this unnatural ) ' de\'elope evi I molded thought oC the people. And the unIversal millennium ha not miennium tot come yet Men have not yet learned to bo con sIstent with themselves They study sclenco and learn what at unspeakably grand thing the universe Is , and how utterly beyond them Is a perfect knowledge or all things and sti they manifest their arbitrary spirit regarding all religious and socIal questions. They learn oC limo divine economy and still talk of Il chosen people GOllS elect forgetting that "Ils rain falls on the just and on the unjust I. and that lie Is no respecter of persons " Who can say how much the social trouble of the ages have been augmented by this molde thought oC a partial God ? 1el tail to see that their religious premIse dIsagrees I- agrees wih everything else 1n limo world. I Is only by means of a free Imowledge oC the world as the Supreme will has -made It. only through a knowledge oC the Spirit oC Ood-the holy Spirit of Truth-as It s and has operated In the world-that we are able to decide what Is good and true. I ! only by thIs means that we may appre elate and properly use the revelations that come to us through a bible and a Savior WRen BETTER THAN liE KN ) W. Universalsm recognizes the work of the spirit of truth In all the past ages. The Hebrew faith was one grand step In the development from Ideas of materIal objects of worsht to the worship oC Jehovah , the unseen god oC a chosen peopi Front this came the advance-I believe more of n growth In limo spirIt oC the people than many supptse-to the Idea or Christ oC a God oC al petipleme who stain is p stanls In lIce relation or a father 10 lIla creatures ! ; and It seems when we study Ills tcachlngs that lie had developed tOe complete Idea of ; 1 a supreme Inteligent and benevolent pcwer and oC a world oC spiritual beIng ! dentin ig In the relation oC chldl en to the supreme Father. The writer of Genesis wrote beth than we have reason to think he knew , when he wrote the supposed words of the Create ! 9 : "I.et us make man In our image , " and God ; created man In lila own Image , male and female created lie them I time truth of what we read In those lnes . had been realized , It seems that time development - ment must have ben more rapid In spirItual , directons , But Jesus surelY saw and realize iiti the consistency of I supreme Father with His world ; and His aim was to make other men realize this. But the formulated thought was so far beyond that oC the times that we have reason to doubt seriously whether more titan one or two of hIs Immedlato followers ever grasped the complete Idea : but It grew from that tmo until In Orlgen's time I hall gained the ascendency In the religious thought of Christendom. We all know the story oC that great comic ! that let , and under command of the Roman emperor who was then virtually bIte ' despot oC the world , declared anathema against Orl- gen and his doctrines And we know how under thi emperor and following hIs reign . pious Irreilgiocs completely sUbmerged all Irrelglorw al ex- pressIon In the Christan world oC a supreme goodness . Dut the spIrit of truth always works In the hearts of men and tn every age It must grow more and more toward the universal , Univeralsm vas ' and Is Inevitmmblo. All human Iend are susceptblo to the Influence of truth and therefore they cannot resist the inevitable. I has not been fry years since some really great preachers taught the doctrine of infant damnation and all the horrors that go with it . I has not been five years sInce some members of the authorIzed council of a lead- Ing Christian church met and tried to expunge - punge from theIr creed that terrible doctrine - trine : but that church and some other churches still hold It In theIr creeds But no preacher oC any note preaches it today , indeed such a preacher would be I horrible curiosity In a civilIzed coummunity . The great preacher of all churches are preaching more and more distInctly the universal dominion or truth and goodness. UNIYlmSALISM A LEADEn. This change must have core In the creeds Ir there never had been a Unlversailsm . as we know I , but the progress lust have ben vr much slower so dlmcult Is I to break a molded Corm of thoughl. Just al It requires - quires a blow to break time shell of a nut . so I requires a shock to start the ordinary mind Into a free investigation of any mater of religious or social Importance. Universalism has ben a leader In thIs work of shockIng religious thought out of its old musty molds , so that I could develop In a natural anti logical mariner , and the time lma'i come when no church can say thus tme and no farther In your investIgatIons and & yeur growth. Through bite Influence of this universal trend of thought a few have completely out- ' grown the doctrIne or an Infallible bIble , n' ' fall In Adam , a vicarious atonement In : Christ , so that Personal responsIbility for the caplbltes and opportunities of le Is reog- I nlted and , humanity Is worshipping un c\'er- ' livIng . ever.prlent , e\'er-Insplrlng God. ' Out of this spIrit of universalsm have I' . gr"wn International commerce , International ; magnlnl and periodicals , world' fairs , a world's congress of religions.
