Prostration of Modern Universalism In The City of N. York. It will probably be rather startling to Universalists in the country to learn that there is not now one pastor in this city who dares to preach that there is no punishment in the world to come! There are three Universalist societies. Two of them have no pastors. The congregation in Orchard street have Rev. T. J. Sawyer. We make the statement above, having every reason to believe it true. If Mr. Sawyer will come out in his own congregation, or in the Universalist Union, and preach honestly and earnestly, the doctrine that "there is No punishment beyond this grave," we will immediately correct our statement.-Ib.
