a heather doctrine, while Christianity
will bear the most searching test of rea-
son and logic, and appeals to mans high
est sense of justice. The examination OF
the Professor as a candidate for ordi-
nation to the Universalist ministry was
highly satisfactory to the council, and
the vote was unanimous. The exercises
were witnessed by full house and many
favorable comments we're heard, both as
to the manner in which the candidate ac-
Quilted himself in the examination and
the able discourse he preached. The
ordaining council was composed OF three
clerical and four lay delegates, repre-
senting Akron, Kent, Ravenna and Brim-
field.
Rev. G. L. Shipman preached the
closing sermon on Sunday evening. The
Occasional Sermon, by Rev. r. B. Marsh,
of Kent, was we'll received, being full OF
good and suggestive thoughts. Akron
was chosen as the next place of meeting,
and conferences are to be held at Will
oughby and Windsor; also at two other
points, to be selected by the committee
appointed to arrange for the several con-
ference meetings to be held during the
year.
The Akron Pastor
returned, and preached his first sermon
on Sunday, Sept. 5, in the evening. A
church meeting was held on Thursday
evening 18th inst.) at the pastors home.

make all necessary arrangements for the
coming General Convention.

saloonists Using the Boycott.
Judge G.. w. Lewis refused to grant
the Injunction asked by the saloon keep
ers of Ouyahoga Falls, suburban vii
lage of Akron, restraining the mayor of
that village from enforcing the ordinance
closing the saloons. The Judge, after
hearing the motion, decided that the or
dinance was valid. The mayor of the vii
lage who signed the ordinance has held a
position as book keeper for an ice COM
pany of that place, and this company has
been boycotted by many of the saloon
keepers to such an extent that. to protect
his employers interests, the said book

At Alliance, o.,
twenty-three saloon keepers filed notice
with Mayor Coyen that, if the prohibitory
ordinance be enforced, they will each sue
this city for damages in a lump sum, and
also damages for each day they are com
PEELED to remain closed. Threatened
suits in the case aggregate 100000.
Thus it is seen that to defy the law and
the authorities is the bold course which
the corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS class are

assassination of few more Haddocks
will open the eyes of the people to the
real animus of this element, which is
sapping the life blood of thousands and
tens of thousands of our youth.
