Minneapolis, Nov. 10, 1SS6.-[To the
Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT. Work
planned by the friends of the First
Church for this winter is more compre-
hensive than for any season in its history.
Conference meetings, young peoples
meetings, lectures, free and otherwise,
make up continuous program Of work,
pleasure and profit. DR.. Tuttle having
gone to brownsville, Ga, leaves the whole
responsibility on Rev. Mr.. Shutter, who
promptly and resolutely accepts the stu
alton, approaching the gravity of the
position.
Col. Hogeland, of national reputa-
ton, lectured at the First Church Sunday
evening, 14th inst, discoursing on mat
tiers of special interest to the wandering
boys of our cities. He had large audi
ence and one that was very responsive.
Tuesday evening, 10Th inst, Rev. Mr..
Janson gave another of his interesting
and edifying lectures.
Inc second Church
is we'll launched in its winters work.
Wednesday evening Br. Janson gave
characteristic lecture, which was no doubt
highly appreciated. Sunday, 18th inst,
the pastors of the Second and Third
churches exchanged pulpits.
1t is with regret that we record the
severe illness of Br. Powers's little boy,
who lies very low with typhoid fever.
Union Thanksgiving Service.
At meeting of the pastors of the three
churches in the city, called for the pur-
pose of arranging for Thanksgiving SER
vices, it was decided to hold union ser
vice at the First Church and that Rev.

the sermon.
The Third Church is comfortably
housed in its hall, which is built on the
rear of it's lots. 1t is to be known as
Twenty seventh Street Hall. 1t can seat
200 people comfortably, and if taxed to
its utmost capacity, $50 persons could be
seated. A stage 1924 has been built and
furnished, which, together with kitchen
and dining room, make it most conven-
lent building for all kinds of entertain
ments and sociables. It has been painted
outside and in; furniture for the pulpit
to the value of $80.25 has been donated
by the pastors business friends, besides
$40 worth of flower vases. So we re-
joice in the improvements made this year
