NOTES FROM LOMBARD.

The fall term began with brighter
prospects than was anticipated. Eighty
seven students have already registered.
The number of new students exceeds
that of any previous term for the last
three years. There are five seniors in
the college department and two in the
theological. One addition to the theolog-
ical department., but others are expected.
The Trustees held meeting on the
18th for the purpose Of arranging some
bylaws and transactIng other business.
The literary societies are well organ
lied and much interest is manifested.
The Mrs. Marsh Theological Society
held it's first meeting last Friday. The
subject of the next paper to be presented
before this society is "rhe Prospect of
Universalism in the South" It will be
presented by Miss Laura e. Simons, OF
South Carolina.
"A church and student sociable was
held last week. Nearly all of the students
attended. If there were a few more such
occasions it would be extremely profta-
BILE both to the students and also to the
church. When its students feel that the
Universalists of Galesburg have an in
terest both in the school and in them,
then will the students have much more in
terest in the school and in the church.
INDIANA Rev. L. b. Grandy is to
preach at Roam, and the regular appoint
ment of Br. Crary for that place is remov-
ed by his request this week.
Sale of the Vevay Church. J. K.
Peasants writes, Sept. 20: The Univers-
alist church was this day sold to a.psrty
who owns the hotel property adjoining,
he wanting the ground as an addition to
his property. The brick and other ma
terial In the church building will be used
in business building in another part of
the town. Not being dollar in debt we
were not compelled to sell, but the house
owing to deaths and removals, we are SO
much weakened that we have no further
use for church. There are but five fami-
lies of our faith here now. The consid-
Grafton was $1,000 cash. The trustees
will loan the money, secured by mortgage,
until such time as we think we need
church. IL that time ever comes, we will
then build more modern building in a
more desirable location. In the mean
time we will retain our organization, and
elect trustees annually. The church just
sold was brick and was erected in 1862.

Girard.--At church meeting Samuel
Stead and Mrs. J. s. Mcdonnell, were
elected delegates to the State Convention
to be held this week in Chicago. Our
Sunday school here held lawn festival
recently at the residence of Mr.. McCon-
mel, which proved quite successful; the
receipts $45. 1t was indeed an interest
ing social gathering. The lawn was
brilliantly lighted with Chinese lanterns,
and the vocal and instrumental music
were delightful. Our minister, Miss
Brainard, is doing all she can for the
cause, with zeal which is commendable.
She is respected and beloved by all
classes. She has preached at Rockbridge
and Windsor several times, to full houses,
and where the doctrine of Gods impair
tial favor was never preached before.
Her message was we'll received. One
week ago Miss Brainard held forth at
Ball school house, four miles out from
here, to a crowd of earnest listeners; and
there was at least one convert, as I have
it from his own lips, that all his life long
he had been weighed down in the belief
of an angry God, and an endless hell.
Our society here is small as to numbers
and do all they are able to keep the ball
rolling. There are six churches here in
Girard and not one that sustains preach
ing every Sunday, J.B.o.

Minneapolis, Sept. %, 1SS6.-[To the
Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsr. IA few
days ago it was my pleasure to interview
one Of our staunch members at Apoka,
and in response to many questions, 1
learned Of the very prosperous condition
of the Sunday school, which had receiv-
ed strong and lasting impulse from
Br. Carpenter, who served that parish
during the summer. The more our young
brother was tried, the brighter he shone;
and the Anoka people parted from him
very reluctantly. The parish is also in
good shape, and awaiting the "right
man."
Rochester has begun the year with
better prospects Of success than ever be-
fore. Rev. J. M. Payson is much refreshed
by his Eastern trip, and the people are en-
rapport with their pastors plans for the
winters work.
The preparations for the regular work
of the Sundsy-school are still going on in
Saltwater, and we expect before long to
be able to report a well-inaugurated
movement in that growing city, looking
not only to the regular sessions of Sun
day-school, but TO the establishment of
monthly preaching services, and possibly
the full work of pastor.
Our friends of Appleton are pushing
their good work. The First Church of this
city sent them good collection of Sunday
school books some time ago, for which
they were very grateful. II any school
has number OF books to spare, it could
not do better than send them to Appleton

pie are jealous in teaching the faith Of
our denomination.

secretary's Report at Cedar Rapids.

To the Officers and Members Of the Io,oa
Uniuersaist Convention:
BRETHBEN:-During the past year there
have been two meetings of the Executive
Committees, one in January, and the other
in April. At these meetings the state of our
church throughout our borders was consid-
cred, plans devised for advancing our cause
and the wishes of the Convention sought to
be carried out. At the first of these meetings
a subcommittee of three, consisting of Brs.
Platt, Bonner and Brown was chosen to act in
the place of the Board, in securing certain
property to the Convention, engaging fnan-
cial agent, and to act in the place of the
Board till its next meeting.
Marshalltown Church.
During the session of the last Convention
q movement was inaugurated to pay of the
debt on the Marshalltown church, and to
save that valuable property to the denomina-
ton. The debt amounted to some $4,000.
The Convention pledged $500 of this, if the
parish would raise the remainder, and make
Convention. The General Convention voted
to give 5000. The remainder of the money
needed was assessed upon the parishes of the
State, and the Secretary notified them of
this action. The work of raising the remain
ing 81 600 of the debt was soon commenced
by the Marshalltown church. The city was
thoroughly canvassed by the pastor, Rev. j.
f. SCHNEIDER, assisted by his Trustees and
Rev. Amos Drum.
In February the subcommittee of the Con-
vention met the Trustees of the parish; the
mortgage on the church was cancelled, and
the property decided to the Convention, and
re-conveyed to the parish, under the usual
conditions. But, to meet its obligations, the
Convention had to borrow $423.43. Appeals
from time to time have been made to the
parishes and many individuals to meet this
debt and other necessary expenses of the
Convention. The following sums have been

NEW YORK. May 2l.--On one of the wet days
last week the Rev. Dr. Dewitt Talmage. Brook
lyn's celebrated preacher. received visit from a
wealthy old lady. who is one Of his staunchest
friends and admirers. When she rose to go, the
Doctor, with his usual courtesy, accompanied
her to the door. and, noticing that the stone
steps were slippery, said
BE careful. madame. You had better take
my ARM
The old lady took his arm. and Instantly was
seized with passionate regret, for the Doctors
feet few from under him and he and his com
panion tobogganed down the flight like lightning,
humping their busties on every step with rnerci-
less emphasis When they reached the sidewalk
they rolled over and over each other in what
looked like Greco- Roman wrestling match.
The Doctor was first on mis- feet, and he helpsd
the old lady up best he could; but he has a
keen sense of the ludicrous, and having seen
that the partner of his flight was unharmed he
had gone off into fits Of laughter The old lady
didn't laugh at all. She walked to her carriage
as best she could, and drove sadly away. Half
an hour later of her servants brought the
following note to the Doctor:
Mrs. presents her compliments to Dr.
Talmage, and desires to know il he was injured.
She herself is unhurt."
The answer returned was:
'Dr. Talmage presents his compliments to
Mrs. -. and is pleased to learn that she is un
injured. He himself hurt nothing but his dig
