churches were represented by delegates,
namely, Milan, Manchester, Patriot, Ris-
ing Sun, Saluda, Burlington, KY, and
First Church, Boone county, Ky. But
two ministers we're present; nevertheless,
owing to the zeal and activity OF the lay

and the meeting was an excellent one.
Good congregations attended all the SER

[FRoM REV. W. R. DoBBYN.]

Minneapolis, Aug. 20, 1sS6.-[To the
Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT. Vacation
in Minnesota means something in church
circles, and the intensity with which it is
enjoyed is suggested by the dearth Of
parish news. The First Church of this
city has continued its morning services
throughout the heated term, but the
Second and Third Churches discontinued
services, the former for the month of Au-
gust, the latter for July and August. DR..
Tuttle, who has been so closely confined
to his home, caring for his loved ones, is
now in Nebraska seeking short respite
from the weary watching at the sick bed.
Mr.. Powers, OF the Second, has been
inhaling the bracing air of the "great
unsalted sea for week or two, while
the pastor of the Third has been resting
at home.
The annual basket picnic Of Mime

SUNDAY SCHOOL HARMoNIEs No. 3.
The success attained by the two former
numbers of the series has warranted the

OVER THE RIVER. Since the death Of
the author, Rev. T. 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 sub
iect 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. It is a
tender and cheering volume, and while
irradiated with the faith of our church
is not in any way sectarian or eontrover-
sial. 1t will comfort all who mourn. 1t
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
thule to the temple of immortal life"

Decatur.-After three years OF success
full labor in this city, Rev. Sophie Glib
has been invited by unanimous vote of
the church to continue her pastoral SER
vices, and has entered upon her fourth
year. Here are an earnest and exempla-
ry people and devoted pastor. Even
during the extremely hot weather Of the
past few weeks, there has been an in
crease of numbers of the congregation
and renewal of earnestness. The pastor
does not deem it wise to close the church
for single Su nday, and generously fore
goes the luxury of summer vacation.
She has the hearty cooperation in her
work of Revs. s. F. Glib and d. P. Bum.
both of whom reside here and each of
whom have served as pastor in the past.
All are hopeful for the future. 1t is
pleasant to record such evidences OF
prosperity.
Marseilles. Rev. Mr. Straub takes a
few weeks vacation, devoting part of his
time to the geology = the fossil and coal
fields of La Sale county, which is very
rich county in remains of that character.
Prof. s. W. Straub, with other must
clans from Chicago, gave very fine con-
cert in the rink few weeks ago, netting
a very fine sum for the church. Mr.. Ar
thur M. Straub, his son, one of Chicago's
best pianists, at the time gave several
very fine piano recitals.
The Ladies' Aid Society, on the 18th,
gave very successful sphinx Tea" party
at the residence of Mr.. A. L. Stone, Ed

evening was stormy, but that did not pre-

host from being filed to OVERLOOKING.
INDIANA. = IndianapOlis.-The Gen.
trail Universalist congregation, with lunch
baskets, repaired to the home of Br.
Charles Jennie on the afternoon of Au-
gust IL, where we had "a feast of reason
and flow of SOUL" until 6 P. NJ, when
the "elders" set everybody's lunch out on
tables, on the smooth shaver lawn, under
some grand old trees. We had hot coffee
and tea and lots of good things, but our
hilarity was interrupted by a grand dis
play of pyrotechnics in the heavens which
dimmed the brightness of the Chinese
lanterns. The slight shower hurried us
indoors where the repast was finished.
After the clouds rolled away and the
moon came out in all her splendor, a
goodly number of friends came in to
participate in the demolition of ice cream,
cake and melons, the proceeds of which
will initiate the "Aid Fund"

arHE CONSULTATIONS OF SCIENCE.

Below we print notice of this valua-
BILE work made of it by the Golden Gen.
sor, widely circulated religious paper
in Rockford, ILL.,, in a recent issue:
Jacob Straub,A. NJ. the author, has shown in
this work width of research, depth fof
thought and height of appreciation of the
works and ways of God, that it pleases and in
structs good people OF ell shades of religious
belief. The human mind would fain find
the developments of knowledge, confirm the
longings of his soul and the conclusions of his
immortality. This work, as its name indicates,
finds just such consultations in the acquired
facts of science. OF course every reader will
find some things in such work that he Is in
uiined to doubt, but it would be an insipid thing
and not very improving If there were not some
thing to set one thinking in new lines; and that
author would be very God who could write
such work absolutely without an error. He
begins by showing the worth of the thought
of immortality, and goes on to the place it
holds in history, and the evidences that it's be-
lief Is elevating; that the church needs to en-
phasise the future life more; the tendency of
science to confirm the theory. citing analogies
from the vegetable and animal realms. Then
he proceeds to the intellectual, and the moral
and religious elements and states, arguing
negatively and affirmatively that mans essen
tial self continues beyond the limits of physi-
cal existence, which is affirmed in the organic
law of his being. Questions that arise con-
corning the two worlds and the difficulties of
transmission of thought that become more
formidable between residents of the two
worlds). are discussed, with the impracticable
and dangerous devices for this purpose; the
appearance of this in the Bible is also consid-
cred, and an approximate analysis of real life
in the land immortal, with the changes posi-
BILE and probable, recognitions, reunions and
companionships, and the abolition of death
and old age. The authors diction is very pleas
Ing, while his thoughts are sprightly and
strong clearly and forcibly expressed. The
ample learning, and the balance of Judgment
displayed carry the reader along to conclu-
SONS that are acceptable, by ways that lie
through the domain of science, which SO
many are prone to look upon as positively
opposed to all spirituality and things of faith.
Only science, ''falsely so called" does that
and such works as the Consultations of Science
display the true science that does not misead.

The Rogers Association did very
proper thing. Itprovided for the travel
ing expenses of its only active resident
pastor (Rev. Mr.. Quackenbush), and he
will be at the State Convention.
The coming session of the Conven-
ton will be full of business, and that, too,
of the highest importance. After a per-
manent organization is effected and the
work of the past year reported and re-
viewed, then we must inquire for the out
look and provide for the future. Let
delegates come prepared to present the
claims and needs of their respective par
ishes, and also to state to what extent
they can lend helping hand in the work
of church extension. Let wise counsels
prevail. Don't waste time in profitless
discussions.
We cannot give Sunday school inter-
ests the time their importance demands.
Therefore consider the hours golden, and
talk to the point. We have new constl-
tuition and bylaws to adopt. Think the
matter over SO that we may legislate
wisely.
Rev. Mary T. Clark
is constant surprise to her many friends.
Though past the SEVENTEEN milestone
on life's highway, she is plucky, industri-
GUS and always Astounding in the work OF
the Lord. The splendid financial show
ing of the W. w. a.. A. during the last
year is largely owing to her indomltaole
energy. Her labors as a preacher have
borne abundant fruit, too,-notably at
ireland, where she received nine MEM
bers into the church and baptized alarge
number of children besides. She will be
at the State Convention. Congratulate
her.
From present appearances the assets
of the Convention will be sufficient to
meet all existing obligations. In other
words, the Convention will commence
work during the coming year with clean
financial record.
We wish to say again to all intend
ing to go to the Convention, that If you
have not already been supplied with
railroad certificate, write to me at Dublin,
Ind, for one Immediately. 1t will save
you one-third fare on round trip. These
certificates are good on nearly all the
roads in the State (the narrow guage
leading to Bluffton excepted). Armed
with one of these certificates it will cost
you only two cents mile going and
coming.
-Universalists of Indianal This Is our
last opportunity to appeal to you. Let
us make the coming Convention at Bluff
ton notable event in the history OF our
denomination!

Second, the right of the people to that
portion of the Indian Territory known as
Oklahoma is
Also Constitutional and Lawful.
Things are sometimes lawful though
not right; but in this case it is right in
itself and right according to the Consti-
tuition and the law. It is not my purpose
to canvass the grounds on which this
statement is based. Men who have given
this question careful consideration have
no doubt about it, and the facts go to
show that this is the opinion of all men
posted. 1t is the opinion of those instru-
mental in keeping the settlers out. Those
who have been taken out by force of
authority under arrest, have not been
able, in several attempts, to bring the
case to trial and test the right in the
courts. This has been carefully avoided
by the party opposed to settlement, we'll
knowing the result of the investigation,
consequent upon trial. The people own
ing Oklahoma in fee simple, having
bought and paid for it, have a right to
occupy it. Why not The question is,
who Owns Oklahoma!
Have we not right to the use of our
own? ALI the questions in respect to
Oklahoma, and some other lands in the
Indian Territory, we're recently we'll ar
gued in speech by Hon. Mr.. Struble. of
Iowa, published in the Congressional
Record of June. Those wishing the facts
in full may know where to find them. 1t
will not be long till the wealthy few not
being allowed the exclusive use of the
land, the present conditions, which OPP
pose and hinder settlement, will natur-
ally be removed. Then the "right will pre-
vail" and the people (the above inquirer,
doubtless, included) will food the coun-
try like grasshoppers.
Universalist Meetings, Debates, Etc.
will return to this place in September
to begin regular work. Next Sunday I
will hold forth the word of life at Win
field, another thriving town. Twill preach
at Lyons, Sunday, 23d inst. (basket-meet-
ing), and course of sermons at Coffey-
vile, Aug. 27-29, with twenty four hours
debate at Howard, Elk county, begin
ming Aug. 81, with Ed. d. D. McBrian,
of Sedan, of whom another Elder says:
eve will endorse Br. McBrian against any
man in the world" September IL I go
to Harveyville to begin another twenty
four hours debate with Rev. Mr.. Mill
gan, of the Covenanters or Reform Pres
byterians. This man is an educated de-
batter and can fuse up any Universalist in
one dayp Another debate follows that
with Elder Shick. These men are brought
against me to kill the effects of former
debate.
Doctrinal Preaching.
My first sermons in place are always
doctrinal. do not mean by doctrinal
sermon a sermon that "pitches into" other
doctrines, but a sermon that distinctly
teaches Universalism. The usual under
standing of doctrinal sermon is eight
ing Sermon but true doctrinal sermon
is supremely practical. A few days ago
I preached a sermon In which I was as
doctrinal as I knew how to be, and when
service was over friend said to me,
"That discourse suited me exactly. I am
tired of doctrinal preachingP
