FROM REV. H. L. CANFIELD.

Dear Editor For the last twenty
years, more or less, have read in our
papers of Alder Chapel in connection
with the ministerial labors of Brs. Lom-
bard, Moore, Carlton, SaxtoD, Abel,
BEEN and others, but my ideas with
regard to the place and the people were
very vague and misty. knew that the
location was somewhere in central Ohio,
but only knew the alders as small trees
belonging to the genus Al1ats and grow
ing in swampy grounds; SO had imagin-
ed that the chapel aforesaid was built in
or near an alder swamp.
But have been there and am happi-
or and a wiser man. There is nothing
swampy about Alder Chapel. 1t is not
named for family of small trees, but for
a family of large men; large in heart and
in faith, who with others of like mental
and moral proportions, both men and
women, constitute a church to which it
most be a pleasure for any good man TO
minister.
The Alder Chapel congregation is at
present under the pastoral care OF Br. J
W. Henley, at whose invitation 1 went
there to assist in series of meetings,
which began on Thursday evening, Dec.
9, and closed on the Tuesday even
ing following. The results Of the meet
ings were the addition of five good men,
bers to the church, and subscriptions to
the Permanent Fund amounting to $500.
These results are largely due to the
fact that the pastor had prepared the way
for me and entered into the work with
hearty sympathy and efficient co-opera-
ton. The brethren and sisters of the AL
der Chapel also We'd with each other in

The volume has just been issued by
the Publishing House. It completes
one Of the most valuable works ever
issued from the Universalist press. The
volume completes the History of our
Church in this country to the close of the
year 1885.
Like the first volume, it gives a de-
tailed statement Of the early growth of
Universalism during the period covered
in it, and general survey of its progress
since the advent of our periodicals. in
1919.
The earlier views of Rev. Hosea Ballou,
the changes in his opinions, their infu-
ence and spread, and the various shades
of opinions entertained by other leaders
are plainly set forth.
Changes in church polity are also
brought to notice, with the reasons there
for and the gradual growth of our pres
emit ecclesiastical organization is described
and accounted for.
The story concerning the adoption of
the Winchester Profession of Belief is
told in full, including an examination of
the traditions relating thereto, the facts
in the case, the records of the Courts, the
consequences of the adoption, and the
place which the Profession at oncstook
and has since held in the Church. All
the facts in the case of Christopher
Erskine, associated in tradition with the
adoption of the Profession, are given as
cleaned from the original records of the
Courts and the manuscript of the Judges
decisions.
The story of the Restorationist Contro-
versy is told in full, from the incipient
movement in 1877, to the elimination of
the controversy by the disbanding of the
Restorationist Association in 1841.
Efforts in the Church for the establish
ment of Educational Institutions from
1914 to 1886, are described in detail.

pamphlets published in America, either
in favor of, or opposed to UniversaIism.
including the titles of nearly 200 papers
and other periodicals published in de-
Tense and illustration of Universalism.

tient, and successful effort to tell the
story OF the rise, progress and present
condition of the Universalist Church.
Orders are solicited, and will be prompt
ly filed by the Western Branch.

place. Personally have many friends
among the Limitarians who do not hes.
itate to censure the bigotry and unchar-
itableness of their ministers. And yet this
same Methodist divine, who objects to us
because we do not subscribe to the doc
trine of endless punishment, handles that
subject in somewhat frosty way lest he
make it too warm for his hearers. For
few who read are ignorant of the
fact that the structure of endless punish
ment is being shaken to the ground;
structure that finally shall have vanished
as having been the darkest air castles ever
built by fear in the imagination of man.

serious loss in the removal next week
of Br. J. Fl. Baker and family to Beaver
Falls, Penn, where company has been
organized to manufacture several articles
of his invention. Br. and Sister Baker
have been earnest workers in behalf of
our church, and we doubt not that in
their new home they will do good service
for Universalism.
Rev. F. M. Yates, of Pataskala, o.,
has received from the Committee of Eel
lowship certificate of his full recogni-
ton as a minister of the Universalist
church. He is pastor 'of the Jersey
church, and friend writes: "We like Br.
Yates better and better" While wait
ing for the decision of the other churches
which were expected to unite in the for
nation of a circuit, Br. Yates has been
preaching at Columbia Center, and at
the Mink street school house, and has
had good congregations. The friends at
those points recently made him "pound
party" visit which was a pleasant and
profitable event to him and family.
Rev. F. X. BEEN closed his labors
with the Belpre circuit last Sunday. A
conference meeting of the Association
was held at the same time, when it was
voted to receive the Lower Salem church
into the circuit, the Belpre churches
agreeing to accept services one-fourth
OF the time in order to accommodate the
Lower Salem brethren. A committee has
been appointed to correspond with min
listers with a view of securing pastor;
and ministers DESTROYS of an excellent
field in which there is abundant opportu-
nifty to accomplish good, can address J.
B. Mawhinney, Rockland, Washington
county, o.
In recent letter, we located a confer
ence which was held with good results, at
McConnellsville, instead of Watertown,
a church which has been revived under
Br. Beem's labors. Br. BEEN has made
a good record, and leaves with the good
will OF all. He will spend the holidays
at the home of his parents at Jersey,
after which he will enter Buchtel College
possibly for the classical course, preach
ing on Sundays as he may have opportu-
nifty.
Our friends at Middleport have about
completed the repairs on their church, in
which they were aided by the General
and Ohio Conventions. They have re-
organized their Sunday. school which
though not large, is doing good work.
They expect to secure a pastor in the
coming spring. A live man will find Mid
dleport and adjacent churches good field
to cultivate.
1t affords us pleasure to announce
that Rev. Fl. l.. Garfield has accepted the
proposition of the Executive Committee
to continue in the field as Agent of the
Convention, and meeting of the COM
mittee will be held soon, to arrange for
details of work during the coming year.

Stor that New Deal Eurrah.

The newspapers throughout the
State are exercising themselves over
the subject Of "New Deal" Some
are in favor of q ssnew deal" as they
call it, to the exclusion Of present
State officials from Governor down.
Others are equally satisfied with the
present incumbents.
We think that the deal is good en-
enough. tits a shuttle that may be
needed. As is always the case when
cards run together there is apt to be
a great many slips. AS rule, splits
always rebound to the benefit Of the
dealer. We have not had q good
shuttle since 1876; but we had better
forego both another shuttle and new
deal unless we can produce q miracle.
It seem to US that, if we play with a
full deck, it matters not who deals SO
long as both the shuttle and deal are
kept out of the hands of the black
legs.
We are told that when St. Peter and
the Devil played poker for soul, and
the Devil turned up four aces, st.
Peter had to produce five kings to
beat him. It was not the result that
was to be complained Of; but the Dev-
il never expected the Intervention OF a
miracle.
Our Radical enemies are just wait
inc for a new deal to be called for III
Consequence of the number Of splits;
but it will require another miracle
like that of 1876 to save every mother

THE STATE DIsGRACED.
Troy Democrat.


Never has the State of Ohio been
so disgraced by the action ofits Gov
ernor as has been done by Governor
Foraker in thus STOPPING so low as to
seek Efrom convicted felons in the
penitentiary evidence to injure the
Democratic party and help his own.
The story itself is utterly incredible
and false on its face, and so will ap-
pear to all sensible men, and how a
man holding the official position that
Governor Foraker does, and possess
ing the intelligence that he ought
to have to be. Governor of Ohio, could
attach any credit to so monstrous a
story, or could stoop so low as to
seek and accept a convict's substan-
tiation of it as true, and present it
in sober earnestness to any intelli-
gent audience, is utterly incompre-
hensible, and can only be accounted
for on the ground that he has gone
''daft,''' or has degenerated ito po-
litical demagogue of the lowest pot
house type.

We believe in Democracy. We be-
lieve that in the Democratic party
there are as good men as in the Re-
publican party. Believing this to
be true we say, Give the Democrats
the places as soon as possible. We
want Democrats, whole Democrats,

John Sherman opened the Repub-

night at Portsmouth. 1t appears
that the campaign requires a good
deal of opening this year, or else it
won't stay opened, or something of
the sort. During the course of the
distinguished gentleman's remarks
it is said that he touched upon the
failure of the Democracy to restore
the tariff on WOOL For specimen
of cold, monumental gall this GER
tainly takes the whole bakery! How
does it come that "the tariff on woolw
needs restoring? Who destroyed it
in the first place? Not the Demo-
Gratis. They voted almost to man
against the reduction of the wool
tariff, and in favor of giving the far
mer and wool-grower something of
the same protection that the tariff
affords to other classes.
