family rushed out when the flood roared
down upon them, but were too late to es-
cape Theodore and wife and Mrs Charles
King were swept oil. The TWO women
were killed. John Mcl.aughln's machine
shops were on the route and were utterly
wrecked and the machinery ruined. Loss
$4,000.
Harrison Garficld's forest mill for max
ing fine paper went next. 1t was completely
undermined, the machinery spoiled ana
so 900 worth of stock, finished and in pro
cess, ruined This plant was rendered
useless, the ground being washed away
and the mill pond made useless, being
flied with rocks and mud. Here the tor
rent had terrible force, being gathered INTO
the valley not over twenty rods wide.
John Nprran's fine paper mill next sui
fered Il loss on stock, building and dam of
$4,000. The new mill built by Decker and
Sabn, but owned by Harrison Garfield,
was wrecked. involving Il loss of $1,000.
Garfield says $4,000 was swept from ms
pocket by the flood The grounds about
his residence were filed with drift and the
family had to fly to high grounds to escape.
Ali about this part of the course of the
stream houses were surrounded ana there
were many narrow escapes. Here the val
ley bruadens and the Hood spread wide
and lost force, but residences were
moved, lower stories were Hooded and fur
niture wrecked.
ON the line Of the stream six bridges
were carried away and many small build
mgs wrecked. The highways and door
yards are sight to see Fences are every
where demolished, and lawns look ike
/ beds of dried up rivers Boilers and ma
chinery strew the banks of the brooks

East Lee could never recover from the
disaster The distance from the pond tc
where the torrent spent itself is about
/ four miles, and it is four miles of ruined

and bridges from $4,000 to S20,0 900. Tn,

the people-the force whose result is the
great man. The genius and institutions
OF people are the inevitable legacy OF
its representative man. A man to be
great need not be creative. But he must
be more than receptive, he must be con-
structive, man of faculty as well as
facts. The truth he expresses is not his
own, it is the universal possession Of the
people. They are the makers of history,
he is the historian. The institutions OF a
people express the ideas of the many. One
man does not give nation its character.
Hence, in order to effect an enduring re-
form, there is first necessary an educa-
ton Of the people, reform of mind. In
stitutions, forms of government, exist
only because the people believe in them.
Theocracy, monarchy, aristocracy, de-
mocracy, express the belief of the people,
Again, in order to the support Of a gov
eminent there must be among its citizens
a unity of common blood and language.
The Roman Empire fell for lack of this
unity. The perpetuity of our own Union
depends upon the homogeneity of our
people. National character, this product
of the people, is what finds expression in
the great man. Martin Luther was
sturdy Saxon, the man of his people. AS
leader of the Reformation he executed
the wish of his nation. Plato expresses
the highest intellectual life of his age,
and is the embodiment of Greek spirit.
Gladstone is manifestation of Saxon
character; the exponent Of the English
people.

CATION THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL.

The twenty seventh year of this school
closed Tuesday, June %. On account of
the change from Thursday, to Tuesday
the exercises were not as we'll attended as
usual, though the attention was good.
The parting sermon was delivered by
the President, DR.. I. M. Atwood, Sunday
evening.
On Monday night DR.. r. Fiske, of
Watertown, delivered the annual address
before the Philomathian Society (of the
Theological SCHOOL,. His subject was
"An Alleged Scientific Perdition.' His
handling of the book, "Fixed Character"
was mastery.
Tuesday morning the class of '86 took
formal leave of the Alma Mater. Each
member of the class presented an origin
al thesis: J. d. Corby, "The True Esprit
de Corps" J. F. Leland, Progress De-
pendent on Intellectual Effort" @. F.
Mcintyre, christianity and Progress;'
W. L. Towsley, Tendency of Christian
ity to Revert to its Original Type" The
young gentlemen acquitted themselves
creditably,-at least from the writer's
point of view, and diplomas were award
ed to each candidate. Three members of
the class dined with DR.. Atwood. Mr.,
Corby could not be present with us, for
as soon as he had received his diploma,
dispatch saying, "Your father is dying"
was handed to him. We are glad to say,
however, that better news was received
little later. The three graduates who
were present, also had the pleasure of DIR.
R. Fiske's company at dinner. A. G. was
also present, but as the feast was not cal
culated for his condition, he sat by and
told stories, much to the improvement Of
the feast.
AS we are confined to the Theological
School we cannot go farther with the ex-
ercises of the week; they were well at
tended and in every way delightful.
The graduates of Tuesday go, without
exception, to take up their life work.

ILLINOIS.-ChicagO and Vicinity
The parish meeting at st. Paups on
Tuesday evening is reported on the edi-
torisl page.-Services are suspended at
Englewood until the first Sunday in Sep
tember.-Rev. s. Crane, Of Galesburg,
will preach at the Church of the Redeem
er next Sunday.-Rev. J. Coleman Adams
will remain in the city during the pres
ent month and continue his morning SER
vices at st. Pauls.
PeOria.-After June until the close Of
the summer vacation the evening services
in the Peoria church will be discontinued.
Through July there will be morning SER
vices. The vacation will be ushered in
with August, when Br. Stocking will HE
him away to the hills of New York and
to the home of his childhood, for short
respite from his pastoral cares and du-
ties. Br. Stocking gives the Indepen-
dence Grafton at Elmwood on July A.
Springfield Children's Sunday was
observed with appropriate services in
Springfield church. The church was
tastefully arrayed with blooming plants
and singing birds. The Helper exercises
were rendered, with some additions. Six
little children were dedicated.
.-BluiftOn.-The Children's
Day anniversary was observed here June
IS. The large congregation that attended
the Universalist church last Sunday
evening could hardly realize that it was
the same place we have been wont to
worship in. As we looked upon the walls
covered with gold paper, looking so
cheerful and beautiful, and then looked
into the faces of the audience, so cheer
full and happy, we saw beauty that is not
simply external but is largely the rehec-
ton of grateful hearts, and we could
almost hear them say, II was glad when
they said unto me, Let us go into the
house OF the Lord" The service of the
evening was very impressive. That which
will be treasured most in the hearts Of
those present was the dedication and
baptism of three of the little girls of our
