“I was brought up strictly a Methodist, commenced preaching Universalism in 1842, have contended earnestly for the faith ever since then, never wavering or halting; and now, in my old age, I have the extreme pleasure of seeing its glorious truths embraced and cherished by many of the brightest scholars and best men of the [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #263
“That which God’s judgement decrees, his power effects. That which love demands, justice commends. As the best possible expression of this perfect nature, Christ uses the term ‘Our Father.’ Take the noblest earthly parent, strong and beautiful in body, with acute and well balanced mind, a soul pure and upright, give him the utmost patience, [...]

“Home is where the heart is. But we cannot keep our dear ones there; our arms cannot hold them. There are empty chairs in the home; and voices we have loved to hear are silent. We shall find them all in heaven. In the churchyard, by gray headstones, in graves fragrant with flowers, and dewy [...]

“An important work will be done toward the saving of this world and the saving of every soul in it, when intemperance and licentiousness and gambling, and all forms of oppression, and all the other great moral evils, are done away. Every dram-shop, every gambling hell, every ally of intemperance, or gambling, or licentiousness that [...]

“What though we bring with us at birth the seed
Of sin, a mortal taint, in heart and will
Too surely felt, too plainly shown in deed,–
Our fatal heritage; yet are we still
The children of the All-Merciful; and ill
They teach who tell us that from hence must flow
God’s wrath, and then, his justice to fulfil,
Death everlasting, never-ending [...]

“To give my counsels all in one,
Thy tuneful flame still careful fan;
Preserve the dignity of man
With soul erect,
And trust the universal plan
Will all protect.”

Universalist Quote of the Day #257
“There is a great movement going on, deeper than most of us are aware of; but this movement will not be stayed any more than Luther was, its prophet. Luther, little as he knew of actual results, was its beginning. When his work completes itself, we shall get back to a Christianity free of corruptions, [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #256
“The whole problem of our future condition resolves itself into this alternative,–Universalism, or Atheism. If ‘God is love,’ it must be that he ‘will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth’ (I. Tim. ii. 4); and, ‘if the Lord be God,’ he certainly ‘worketh all things after the [...]

Universalist Quote of the Day #255
“Heimgang! We are all so weary,
And the willows, as they wave,
Softly sighing, sweetly dreary,
Woo us to the tranquil grave.
When the golden pitcher’s broken,
With its dregs and with its foam,
And the tender words are spoken,
‘Heimgang!‘ We are going home.”
–A. J. H. Duganne
