THIRD DAY-SATURDAv, SEPT. 4.
The morning prayer meeting at was
led by Rev N. r. Quackenbush. The
time was fully occupied, and several
very touching and consoling addresses
were made by brothers and sisters.
One of the latter announced that she
had no relatives who had claims upon
her property, and at her decease it
would be left to the Indiana Conven-
ton for the work of Universalism. A
FIVE minutes recess was taken at the
close.
Our Church Literature.
AT 9:10 the Convention was called to
order, and by previous arrangement DR..
Cantwell presented the topic of our
church literature, giving the paper
which has been read before several of
the Conventions,-a resume of the his
tory of our literature, description of
our books, an outline of the work of the
Publishing House, and a presentation
of the claims of our periodicals on the
patronage of Universalist people. Rev.
M. w. Tabor followed in a spirited ad-
dress in behalf of Manford's MAGAZINE,
and S. S. Williams spoke briefly in re-
gard to the warm welcome he had re-
ceived as agent of the Western Branch,
in his canvass Of Indiana, in the inter-
est of The UNIvERsALIsT.
FINANCIAL APPEAL AND RESULT.
The next thing in order was the
appeal for funds for the convention
work. 1t was divided into organiza-
lions, churches, individuals. The Wo-
mans Association pledged S175 90
more If possible;" the Sunday school
convention $50 90. The roll of churches
was called and the response was quite
general, nearly all churches pledging the
amount contributed for the convention
last year, for the work of 'S6 and 'S7.
Individual pledges ranged from S25 to
81 so and including S25 from Mr.. H.
b. Manford, of Chicago; $40 from DR..
Demarest;Sl0 from Manford s Maqazire.
AT the close, some thirty or forty sub
scriptions were taken for the ''Conven-
ton Reporter" at 25 cents each. Rev
L. E. Ballard and DR.. Cantwell con-
Quoted the financial appeal, and many
others "chipped inn timely remarks.
1t was an enlivening time and contin-
ued for over an hour. The aggregate
result, with contributions afterward
made, will probably make the work of
the year secure.
FROM THE COMMITTEE.
The Committee appointed on the
Superintendent's report presented a
series of resolutions, which were adopt |
ed, touching the following points.
Il Approving of the work of the
Executive Committee and Superinten-
dent and recommending the continuance !
of the same general policy the ensuing
year.

The Superintendent Of Churches.
The Superintendent of Churches, Rev.
r. N. John, submitted his annual re-
port. 1t appears in full on the fifth
page.
Discussion on this report occupied
the main part of Thursday afternoon.
DR.. Demarest, ''in the line of his mis-
sion," submitted some remarks compli-
menting the Superintendent for faith
full, plodding service. The Convention
has now for several years pursued dis
tinct line of policy involving the nurture
of the churches. The results are man.
ifest in this largely attended Conven-
ton, and the interest of the people in
its work. There was no "boom" but
good deal Of faithful, consecrated
work has been accomplished. Br.
Budd, in speaking of the partial failure
to establish pastoral circuits, remarked
that the great want was discipline y
DR.. Cantwell spoke of the failure of
the churches to respond to the annual
collection, and in view of what the
Convention was doing for Indiana,
thought the matter wa, deplorable. Mil
ton Trusler enforced the duty of the
ministry in this matter; but if the
ministers do not do their duty let the
laymen take hold. At the close, the
necessity Of more attention to this mat
ter was formulated in resolution, re-
questing the Executive Committee to
make it a part of the superintendent's
duty to oversee the annual collection in
the State.

At the hour appointed for the deliv-
cry of the occasional sermon, the
church was we'll filed with delegates,
visitors and citizens of Button. Rev.
N. N. Quackenbush, of Rising Sun,
conducted the devotional exercises.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. l.
B. Grandy, and an abstract follows:
LIST Tim. iv, 8. Goodness is profitable
unto all things having promise of the life
that now is, and of thai which is to come"
The century of our cause may not have
brought to us all that we might have desired
or anticipated, yet we have no cause for dis
couragement. Forty years ago we may have
had greater crowds and more noise, but the
deep current of to-day is far more hopeful
than the cyclone and storms of those times.
The truth is sinking deep into the heart of
the world. We are not willing to sacrifice
for truths sake. Our faith is so strong that
we are inclined to fold our arms in Incidence.
feeling that the work will all be done if we
only wait. If Paul could say goodness is
profitable" when dungeons, stocks, stripes
and death awaited him, how much more we.
with all the opportunities of to-day.
But We would not serve God simply for
pay-because it is profitable, but love and
obey God, because we delight in the law of
God"
Neither the fear of punishment nor hope
of reward should be the moving cause to
obedience. Hope may allure hsavenwa,d
and fear may deter from sin but cannot
make true Christian. We must be SO in
love with God and his ways that sin cannot
find lodgment between the Father and
child.
We must sacrifice if needs be like Paul.

reeking filth of the gutter, to abuse and vilify

of school buildings last year. At that time
they believed the amount sufficient for all
school purposes for two years, but the un-
expected growth of the city has caused a
demand for more schools. Mr.. Roche
stated that the published report of Mr.. Fogg
was incomplete inasmuch as no mention
was made of the delinquent taxes, a large
amount of which will be collected. and in
stead Of there being deficit it will be
shown that credit exists of no mean pro-
portions.
A NEED OF BUILDINGS.
Supt. Wright was seen at the high
school yesterday, and in answer to the
question, what is the amount required for
school buildings ?" stated that an estimate
of $40. 900 had been made, which would in
all probabilities cover the expenses of the
needed improvements. He says that an adj
dition to the jackson school. corner of Ellen
and Maekubin streets. is absolutely required
and must be built. The school board is now
using feed store to accommodate some of
the scholars. There is also need Of four
room addition to the Webster school, cor
ner of Laurel and Mackubin streets; a new
school building in Brown q JacksOn's addi-
ton, West side, and an addition to the Rice
school, corner of Granite and Agate streets.
Mr.. Wright stated that estimates had been
made and plans drawn for these structures,
and the work would undoubtedly go on this
summer. He says this same trouble has
occurred each year and that the bids have
been let to contractors who understand that
they would not receive their pay until there
was money in the treasury for that purpose.
Each year for the last four the board has
expended over $40, 600 for school buildings
that were absolutely needed and this year is
no execution.

Fun on Crocus Till.

The CrOcus hill toboggan slide has not
been formally opened vet, but every day
and evening the proprietary clubs. the
Xacoutas. the Nushkas and the WindsOrs
are enjoying il with a rush. Last evening
a four-horse sleigh took about forty men,
bers of the WacOuta and Windsor clubs
out TO the slide. followed by an old Min
neSOta stage coach loaded with members or
OF the Nushka club. a large number
of ladies were in the party, and for three
hours cushioned tOboggans. with an excited
maiden i'm front and a uniformed pilot be-
hind. shot down the icy steep as fast as
they could be loaded. The sliding was so
rapid and continuous. and the friction so
great that the ice on the slide began to melt
and they had to let up once in while to
let it freeze. The boys wouldn't tell which
they liked the best. the shot down the slide
with little girl screams and clouds or snow
10 cheer the mOnotOny OF the ride. or the
9, 500 feet of slow return with a hooded and
snow-covered girl on the left arm. Al the
top of the hill a big bonfire blazed In the
storm surrounded by a circle OF cold toes
and laughing girls. who never looked
prettier than lust then in club
costume and snow and dancing
freight Several Minneapolis toboggan-
ers were down, among them Capt Will
Burwel and c. Nj. Palmer of the North
Star club. They are very enthusiastic over
the slide and so IS everybody else. 1t Is
much the longest in the city. and the speed
attained makes all previous tobogganing
seem tame. 1t Is located on the side of ST.
Anthony hill. half-mile west of Ramsey
street. and has been built at greater
expense than any other slide in the city.
The first 600 feet consists of trestle work
of three sections, which are set at different
angles. The first is set at an angle OF about
IS ,, the second and longest at 10 and
the third at 500. From the foot Of the hill
the slide IS nearly level. and the total
length OF a ride is 2, 500 feet. There are
two chutes iced, and along the sides are
broad fences 10 keep the tObOggans from
running over those who are on the return.
A formal opening will take place in the near
future.

yesterday afternoon Apparently. many
who were there were strangers
in the city, who were taking their first look
at the palace, for there were the same ex-
pressiOns OF admiration over the
beauty of the structure that have been
heard each day since it was finished
as the people came for the first time within
sight of il. Many of the uniforms that
have done such good service during
the past two weeks were within
the grounds and as the toboggan
slides were in pretty good condition
they were well patrOnized. Advantage
was taken of the cold weather to repair the
slides somewhat and a few men were at
work putting on a thin coating of snow and
sprinkling it, 1t froze quickly and the to-
boggans went down to the fence when
the slides had been somewhat
patched. The rnks were used by the
skaters to a limited extent. In the even
ing little snow fell giving the park
thoroughly winter aspect, which 1t has
lacked somewhat since the thaw OF week
and-a-half ago.

were the dreams of their struggling boy

They are just as full of the spirit and

Mr.. Florence's robust health Is largely
due to the fact that he eschews cigarets
and always smokes good cigars or falls back
on the old briarwOod pipe with Lone Jack
tobacco mixed with one-third its quantity
OF Perique. And one great secret of his
success as an actor is that he always gives
great attention to the details of his PLAYS.
He is accurate in all the minute details OF
his costume, and the unstudied groupings
in his performances are wonder. The
Florences are people of whom the theater-
going public never grow tired.
