OVER THE RIVER. Since the death of
the author, Rev. I. B. Thayer, DID,, the
call for this book has been such that our
supply was soon exhausted. We now
have ready another handsome edition
and can fill all orders. "Over the River"
is beautiful classic in Universalist lit
erature, and has fulfilled its mission of
comfort in many thousand homes. The
object of the author is to present the SUBJ
ject of death in its true light, and to offer
for the consideration of the thoughtful
believer more elevated and satisfactory
views of the future state than prevail
generally among Christians. The volume
is divided into three parts: Comfort for
the Sick, Revelations for the Dying and
Consultations for the Bereaved. 1t is a
tender and cheering volume, and while
irradiated with the faith of our church
is not in any way sectarian or controver-
sial. 1t will comfort all who mourn. It
teaches the consoling truth that "all evil
has a sunny side. that sorrow is the twin
sister of joy, and the grave only the YES
tibule to the temple OF immortal life"

to raise money in support of mission
airy for the Lower Wabash Association
was earnestly discussed, and passed by g
small majority. Later, this action was
recinded, as without the earnest coop
Grafton of all the churches, the movement
could not be made a success. A resolu.
ton, expressing approval of the State
Convention and it's methods of work, and
pledging a more cordial and liberal sup
port, was finally passed by unanimous
vote of the Association.
81 preached in Hazel Dell Saturday even
ing, Aug. 81, and held basket meeting
on the Sunday following, preaching both
morning and afternoon. Friends from
Greenup and Rose Hill attended these
meetings. The interest was good and
the general impression favorable to our
Church. preached in Greenup Sun
day, Aug. 5. The people are hopeful and
making an effort to pay the debt on the
church building.
Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 21-22, 1
am to preach in Westfeld. This is a
new field for Universalism, and I hope
the meetings may result in permanent
organization. Br. Pope has preached
here few times, and feels greatly en-
couraged.
"There are many Universalists within
this Association and several small par
ishee, but none strong enough TO support a
minister every Sunday in the year; but
few are making an effort to have preach
ing even part of the time. They are not
able or willing to support such ministers
as they desire to hear, and so remain
without pastors. Litch6eld, Windsor,
Greenup and Westfeld are very promis-
ing fields and should no longer remain
inactive.
Gin September I return to Hopes
ton, preaching three Sundays, during
which time I expect the church will be
completed, pastor under way of settle
ment, and thus my labors with this peo-
pie terminate with the Convention year.
81 am not discouraged, though the
field is large, for can see our cause is
advancing. The sentiment of Univers-
alism is extending and people everywhere
are becoming more favorably inclined to
our church. We have only to continue
our missionary efforts and thus improve
our opportunities"

and physical recreation in the vital air
of this electrical climate.
My generous people, with thoughtful
reference to my fatigued condition, made
my vacation long-six weeks in all. But
my wish to be at work again returns be-
fore the oppressive heat has abated.
The summer has been very dry in all
this northern country, and we miss some
of the richness of foliage so noticeable in
former years. The great Mississippi has
shrunk to a mere thread of its former
self, winding along its capricious chan
mel. The treacherous sand-bar have
been terror to steamboatmen all sum-
mer long. But the great Diamond 10"
boats, with their skilled officers, have be.
come famous for overcoming all obsta-
cles without diminishing the pleasure of
their passengers.
I wish some scheme could be devised
for helping more people to realize what
a glorious region this upper Mississippi
is, and what creative energy has been ex-
erted in producing this wealth Of scenery.
Surely nature is in one of her grandeet
moods between Dubuque and st. Paul,
and the steamboat ride here rounds out
a vacation as few things can. record
myself as again enthusiastic. I am see
ing Minneapolis, as she covers herself
with glory in the great exposition,
marvel of skilled energy. have heard
the famous Mexican band of fifty eight
performers play marvellous music, and
again am enthusiastic. AMOS CRUM.

The State Superintendent, Rev. L. W.
Brigham, spent the month Of August

and pressing, that he could not think OF
taking vacation. He writes: "The
Association met in Beecher City, Aug.

The attendance was large, the audi

session when religious services were
held. On Sunday morning, especially,
many gathered about the door and open
windows and attentively listened to a
sermon delivered by Rev. l.. w. Brig

in pleasant grove near the church, and
addressed made by Brs Bum and Glib,
the former upon The Plan and Purpose
of the Gospel of Christ, and the latter
upon God as the Friend of Man. The
communion was also observed, admins

Conference at Rochester.

Rev. James Gorton, of Charlotte, hay
ing been granted vacation of three
weeks has used the time to good advan-
tage in doing missionary work. Visiting
his aged father at Rochester, he found
our beautiful little church in that place
closed and falling into decay. and the
good people thereabouts, with a few ex-
ceptions, sleeping the peaceful sleep Of
the righteous. He arranged for two
days conference Saturday and Sunday
August 2122, and calling TO his aid Rev.
L. H. Squires, of Lansing, and Rev. Elmer
Jacobs, OF Bancroft, the meetings we're
carried through with gratifying success.
Services were held in the Town Hall as
the church was considered unsafe. An
| excellent quartette choir, and organist
some of the members of the orthodox
churches, rendered inspiring music at
every service. The audiences increased
constantly from the first to the last SER
vice. Before the close of the meetings the
people had become quite enthusiastic
and voted unanimously in favor of hav-
ing their church repaired as soon as pos
sible. Br. Gorton remains another week
with them, and it is confidently expected
that the result will be the Rochester
parish revived, the church reopened, and
minister settled at an early day.
| Lansing.
Rev. l.. FL. Squires and family have
been afflicted by the loss of their infant
daughter, five weeks old, by whoopmg
cough. Funeral services were attended
by Rev r. d. Towne, of Portland, and
Rev. M. b. Carpenter, of Lansing.
The Lansing parish has vacation of
three weeks. Part of the time the pastor
and family have been with friends camp
ing out at Pine Lake. He attended the

Raw. w. T. Dickerman who recently
came into our fellowship at Lansing, re-
ceives and accepts call to the Hillsdale
parish and will begin his labors there the
first of September. Br. Dickerman was
formerly in the Methodist church and thus
brings valuable experience in practical
parish work. He is also a fine scholar
having filled professorship in the Uni
versity of Florida. He will be welcomed
TO the ranks of our active ministry.
Lapeer.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson, who has been sup
plying the Lapeer parish to good ac
ceptance, has been called back to New
