Mrs. Soule has SO far recovered her
strength as to be able to give two lect-
ures to the pupils OF the Claiming House
School - one on "The Higher and the
Highest Edu,ati of Women" and one
on The Spirit of Channing's Life" Mrs.
Soule was also able to preach for four out
Of the five Sundays she spent in London,
giving one whole Sunday to Stratford,
London, E.; three Sunday mornings to
the new chapel at Highgate, and three
Sunday evenings to College Chapel, Step
rey Green. Many of Mre. Soule's English
friends are very DESTROYS that she should
settle in London and either take charge
OF chapel or start mission for the
London poor. Her Scottish friends,
though, are not quite prepared to lend
her very long across the border.
Sunday, Nov. IA, was spent by DR..
Hanson in Larbert, preaching in the
Church Of the Redeemer, the one owned
by the Universalists Of Stenhousemuir.
Mrs. Soule supplied the pulpit in Glas-
gov that day, preaching in the after

Confession" and in the evening on FIFTY
Reasons for Being Universalist."

ing relatives and friends and acquaint-
ing himself with American methods of re-
ligious work. Mr.. Williamson has been
always a staunch friend of the Univers-
alst Scottish mission, and helped Mrs.
Soule during her four and half years
of missionary life in Dunfermline and
Scotland as no other friend did. She
calls him the Archbishop of the East
Coast. We trust he will meet with q
warm greeting from all our people, and
especially from the friends of our Scot
fish missionaries.
The Dundee, Scotland, Advertiser,
of Nov. l, has the following: Yesterday,
in Knnaird Hall, in connection with the
seventh anniversary of Mr.. Macrae's con-
gregation, the Rev. DR.. Hanson, of Chi
cago, editor of the "Chicago Covenant"
and author of several theological and
other works, preached in the forenoon
from the words, "Until he find it," which
occur in the parable Of the lost sheep
(Luke XVI. He began by showing that
such a thing as humiliation or loss of
force in the material world is unknown.
and proceeded to argue from the parallels
containing the text that the same is true
in the spiritual world. Loss is tempo.
rary, not final. All souls, he maintained,
would ultimately be brought back to
God. He argued from the parable
Gods ownership Of the lost; (2) that the
value of the lost never ceases; (3) the
sympathy OF the angels in their condi.
tions; az that human obligation to obey
God can never be lost; (5) that human
ability to return can never be destroyed
as long as the soul existe; and Co. that
in these parallels the final recovery of
all souls is taught. The search would
continue till the lost was found. Human
probation /" would only terminate in
universal restoration. Mr.. Macrae in the
afternoon conducted public demonstra-
ton in connection with the Sunday
school, illustrating the course of instruc-
ton and the method of teaching by means
of scholars called up to the platform. In
the evening, Mr.. Gerald Massey, the
well.known poet and Psychologist, lee
tured on the Evolution Of Sign Ian
