Letter from Rev. J. W. Chaffin. MT. I'LKASANT, IOWA, JUNE 13,1870. Very Dear Bro. Cutetcott, A little over a jear ago circumstances led rue into ihe in vestigation of the doctrine or the ultimate triumph of Good over Evil, and the final holiness and happiness of all men. Alter what 1 then regarded as a careful investigation of this cardinal doctrine of modern Universalis, 1 embraced it as I believed on rational and scriptural grounds. At that time, as OU are aware, 1 was a member of the South -Eastern Indiana Conference, aud was stationed at Charlestown, Indiana. Jielieving as I then did, and as I now do, that whenever a Minister of the -Gospel ceases to believe in any of the fundamental tenets or articles of taith held by the religious body with which he stands connected, and accepts as true any doctrine or doctrines held by his church to be false or heretical, it is his duty to make known the fact, and at once dissolve his relation, 1 acted upon this conviction cf duty and withdrew from the Methodist Episcopal Church. That was to me a great struggle, as it was the church of my early choice, and iu which 1 found the pearl of great price. Knowing that the adoption of the doctriue of Ilestorationisni precluded me, theologically, from all orthodox churches, 1 looked to the Uni verbalist Denomination as my future home I received a call to the pastorate of the First Univcrsalist Church of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, which call I accepted, and entered upon my work May 1st, lfcGlr. Mjsell and family were cordially received by the members of this pariah, and were made the recipients of many kindnesses, which shall ever be gratefully, remembered. I endeavored to preach the truth as it is iu Chiist constantly presenting lliui as the onlv way of solvation; and urging the absolute necessity of faith, repentance and regeneration in order to a present and luture salvation. While I believed that ail men would be holy and happy sometime in God's great eternity, 1 endeavored to show that the essential thing was to be regenerated and saved in this life. As the ear advanced, 1 became better acquainted with the doctrines held by Unixtrsaiisis, beside the one mentioned. 1 read some of their ablest theological works id religious journals setting forth their views. 1 heard some of their ministers preach, and I conversed with intelligent laymen among them, on doctrinal points, and the more thoroughly I became acquainted with Huiversalistii as a ifysfi-m, the less able I was to accept it. 1 could not in ihc light of scripture teaching accept its views iu regard to the resurrection tl i he dead, nor could I believe its theory i't man's recovery through Jesus Chiist. 1 could not accept the doctrine lht Jesus is our Saviour simply by virtue of his utheiiiamc nuchii'gs and git-rious example in his lite and death. To me there is no meaning to the typos and sacrificial offerings of the Old Dispensation . and the numerous passages of the Aiow Testament Scriptures in reterence to Christ giving himself a ransom for us, if he is not our ifaviour by virtue of his having done something for us ou'side of mere teach ing and example. I must believe in the vicarious atouemeut of our Lord Jesus Christ. About three nr nths before the close of my Brst year's labor, the church extended a unanimous call to mo to serve it another year, which call I did not accept. About this time what is called the "New Discus '","' grew up in l"uivers.ilit papers, involving the oii theory of U niversaiism , thai there is but one condition hereafter, v it: tlut of eternal joy. ivmie of the writers who participates iu the oontroveisy he'd that sin has its seat in the llesh, and tlut wheu the llesh fails sin ends. About this time also a warm and able controversy occurred iu the leading Univcrsalist journal, in regard to Dr. Williamson's itoek entitled the "Rudiments of Ideology.'" The book was severely and ably ciiiicised by a number of Cniversalist journa'ists. It was regarded by those alio hold to the freedom ot the human will, s fatalistic in its teachings. This awa kened in me a desire to give the Libertriao and Necessitarian theories a closer examination than 1 had ever done belore. As I auvaneed iu this investigation, I discovered that it really involved the I un Jail, tut.il doctiiue of Cniveisalism the inevmhlc salvation of all men. As yet 1 believed in this doctriue and believed it arruly. 1 re-examined the .Necessitarian tU-oiy, but could not accept it, as I could tiet accept any system of salvation that violates God's established methods, or that tetifiicts with the csstutial nature cf man a Iree moral ageut. It was plain to me tat the iuevf.hie salvation of all Hien B-iht be predicted upon this hypothesis, fut as 1 could uot believe the Necessitatiiu thetry, I could not base upon it my tclicl- iu tl.e salvatiou of all men. Tl.e lest inquiry with me was: Can "is tk-ctriiie Le oUblUhtd upon the theorJ if the Ireedoui vl tbt? wi'.!? At lhis "a-e, having received a physical injury, 1 s i-cii lined to my room. My lw?na Jua-e Edwards, of this city an excel'cut thinker and a noble man, of the Uni1 .eisaiist taith made me frequent visits. u l iLtormed him of the fact or my ihttstigation on this subject, and remarked l.im that i could uot then see how the '"lu.'otf saivatiou of all meu could be e?,abiished on any other hy pothesis than lr-t ot Necessitarianism a theory I could ft believe. I became more confirmed in my belief e u,ore caret uily 1 studied the subject, lpt the freedom of the human will the ""nativity of choice would never be destroyed ihat to do so were to disrupt a's nature; remove him from the whole tlia of responsibility, render him inClPbie ot being a subject of a moral, 'tibutive government, and make him a ere automatic being.

A' . . . iiieieiore comp-iiea on psychological grounds to abandon the doctriue of the inevitable salvat ion of a 1 1 men Again: aside troin all speculative reas oning on this 6ubject, 1 could not find a single paasage of Scripture, which, to my mind on re-examination, taught the inevitable salvation of all men, or that theie is such a thing as repentance after deaib. 1 dared not become wise above that which it written, nor could I make human reason the sole arbiter of truth iustead of revelation. llaviutj arrived at these views, I could not longer rank myself with Uui verbalists So, on ihe 18th ultimo. I dec ined in wri ting the call to the pastorate of the First Universaliht Church of this city, and within a few days afterwards connected myself witn tne lUethodist H,piscopal Church. In taking this step I was aware that I would subject myself to censure and criticism, but I could oot accept any approbation but what my conscience could ratify, nor could I content myself with a religious laith that 1 would not have my children inherit. I thank God that I was enabled to take the step I did, and 1 now can say in the beautiful language of fc'ir William Jones: "Before thy mystic altar, heavenly Truth, 1 kneel in u.anhood is I knelt in youth; Thus let me kneel, till this dull form decay, And lite laetshade be brightened by thy ray." In declining a continuation of my pa. toral relation to the Univcrsalist Church ot this city, and in uniting with the Methodist denomination, I do not feel that the bouds of christian love which bound me so closely to the members of the former, have thereby been dissolved. Whatever may be their feelings toward me, I cherish in my heart no other than the kindest feeling toward them. Immediately after I took the step 1 did, I heard that some of them were saying very uokiud tilings concerning myself. I thought it was surely not so. Indeed, I hoped for their sakes, it was not true. Knowing that they bold that God is LOVE: that Keligiou is love, and that, sooner or la;er all the human iamily will aweil togeiher iu the home of love, I could not see how ihey could indulge in any oilier spirit than that of LoVE toward any one journeying toward the same destiny. All, accoraing to ibeir faith, whether Methodists or Lviptists, Presbyterians or Unitai iaus, Catholics or Pantheists, Materialists or Naturalists, Deists or Atheists, Fatalists or 2olhingists, ate destined at some time to dwell togeiher in one eternal dome. 1 had hoped iliey would not vio. late their cherished doctiine of love, by woid or deed. But it seems that 1 hjped in vain. They manifest, as I think, a very uncharitable spirit towards me. They cannot tee how any one could possibly renounce U niversaiism. They cannot see how a man can be hunc&t and do so. Well, th ere are doubtless many things that very we men cannot, ordo not see owing to the stand point they occupy, or lor want of close, patient, and unbiased investigation. If the Uuiveraalist fiieuds whocaunot reconcile my change in theological belief with honesty of purpose, would pass over the grounds 1 have, in this investigation, they might see some psychological and scriptural reasons for ceasing to believe in the inevitable salvation ol alt men, and they miht discover some foundation for honesty in him who thus ceased to boiieve. A lidle moie knowledge and a little more charity on their part would greatly tend to an abate iiiciit ot their censures aud asperities. If 1 had concealed my real views on the cardinal doctriue of ljuiversalism; continued my pastoral relation; received my salary, by so doing, I should have submerged my manhood, sunk iu my owu estimation; been unworthy the couhMeoee of any one, aud might have been justly charged with verv great inconsistency. liut 1 acted to the cuii trary. W heu L reached the conclusions I did, 1 made them known in ! wilting to the church I was serving. I had to be true to my God, to myself and to the cause ot Christ, though it should operate against my pecuniary interests as it surely ttid. I had no tears, however; that 1 should suffer. 1 could look up to my ever loving Father aud say: ".Since tho dear hour that brought mo to Thy foot, And cut up all my lot lie by tne root, t never trusted iu an arm but Tbine, Nor hoped but in Toy righteousness divine; While struggling in the vale of tears below, That never tailed nor shall it fail ine now." 1 am sorry that I ever let my metaphysical speculations lead me out of the Methodist ministry. And yet this whole matter may be overruled tor my own good and the good of others. 1 trust 1 have not ti. en a year from Home without learning many valuable lessons, and experiencing muctt that will be of great service to me iu coming time. 1 have learned how essentially important it is to stand upon an inspired liioie, and to cling steadfastly to Hie Cross of a Diviue lledeemcr. Let a man go out among those who undertake to sill the Scriptures of Eternal Life, as they do the teachings of men, separating tJ,e lalse from ite true, aud ihe dross from the metai, let hiui come in contact with almost eveiy pe of rationalism, and meet the many materia.' forms of Unitarianism aud l'arkeiiMU that exist in this . . . i couutrv. and let Uim umijiie witu uose - ... .. who deny me sacrinciai atouemear. ei our Lord Jesus Christ, aud if he is uot carried oil with such iuUuences, be will more than ever see the beauties, the grandeur, the I glory, the divinity, the eternal excelleucy of au evaugehcal laith. Having spent the greater part of try early life in preparation for the Christian Ministry, and most of my manhood rears iu the active work thereof, and beiug more than ever absorbed in the study of the Scriptures, aud feeling an increasing interest in the cause of my blessed Redeemer, I cannot endure the idea of leaving the sacred calling and engaging in any mercenary pursuit. Hence 1 desire to take work in the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the very earliest practical moment.

I trust all my ministerial brethren in I t'j Chuieh. with whom I have had the pleasure of being acquainted in former years, together with all the good laymen of the Methodist faith with whom 1 used to worship, as well as my own kindred in the fle.-h, will regard me as having simply erred in the head and not in the heart, in my past divergence from Methodistic taitb. I am Yours, as ever, in the bonds of Christian affection. J W. CHAFFIN. Love Up a Tree, There was a seat in the apple tree, A most delightful and cosy nook, And one afternoon about h.ilt'-pait three. Kitty sat there reading a book. , Her fair head bare, with no hat to mar. And her dress just showed one dainty boot: And ha saw her as he fuioked his cigar, And he came and stood at the ladder's foot. Kitty half blushed, then smiled and said, "'Won't you come up and sit here now?" And Kitty's brother, a boy to dread. Saw and determined to raise a row; So he crept soi'tly upder the tree, Listening to all they had to say, Did the impish brother, and sly as could be, Seized tho ladder and bore it away. Then they saw him; and she with a frown, Said, What will that awful boy do next?" And she called him the greatest scamp in town, Vet I don't believe she was very much vexed; For her lips half smiled, though her eyes half cried, As she saw the position of matters now, And he came over and sat by her side, Leaving the place on the opposite bough. What could thoy do? They were captives there, Held as if by an iron band, Kit;y tossed back her golden hair, And reflectively leaned her chin on her hand, If," said she, "we for help should call, They'd laugh to see us in such a light. So we'd best stay here till the shadows fall, Or till some one or other comes in sight." And some one did come. It was Kitty's papa, Who past the tree his footsteps traced, And saw through the leaves a lighted cigar, And a masculine arm round a feminine waist, Kitty looked down aud blushed at one, And then looked up atid blushed at the other; Said her father, "These are nice goings onl" Said she, "It was all the fault of uiy brother." What was the end? I'll tell you that, Some months after, 'mid silks and lace And ribbons and ruches, some ladies sat, Who were discussing the time and the place. As to when so ran their debate And where a certain wedding bould be; And that impish brother was heard to stats, "It had better come off in tho apple tree." Good Reading for Topers.

Dropping his Scythe, and spin niog round like a top, he was ready fostrike a two forty gait, when at that moment the snake was near enough to hook his crooked teeth in John's -hirf, ?usi above the hem. With a tremendous Vpfiftjf fee1 Started off with the speed of a Ioccatrtivb. His first jump foot the snake clear rff tbo ground, and as John stole a hasty glance over iiis shoulder, he was horrified to find the reptile securely fastened at the extre mity of his gartneut, while the speed with which he rushed ffrfward kept the serpent ex.cnccd st as a-gle or ninety degrees with his body. Here was a quanuary. If lie" stopped, the suake would coil about bis body and squeeze him to death; if he continued the race be would soon fall from sheer exhaustion.

On, on be flew! John forgot the quilting, forgot the girls, forgot everything but the snake.
