IOWA.-Cedar Falls.-Rev. J. A. Hoyt.
of Belle PLANE, has recently visited this
parish with ew to reviving the work.
There are some excellent families in the
parish. but they have had no regular
preaching for over year, and are natur-
ally in need Of encouragement. 1t is too
good field to lie idle and we trust that
some steps will soon be taken to secure
the services Of pastor once again.
KANSAS.-Berlin.-Br. J. A. Stoner
writes: Since my removal to Kansas from
Indiana, in March last, I have met a
number of Jealous Universalists. At
their earnest solicitation, I have been
preaching for them one Sunday in each
month for some time past. I expect to
continue these services, and perhaps may
make other appointments as opportunity
affords. My congregations have uni
formly been good. The prospects for a
permanent organization are very encour-
aging. The friends talk of building
house OF worship.

Ohio and recommended complete GEN.
sus of the Sunday-school pupils OF the
State, county by county, SO that the non
attendants might be located and steps
taken to gather them into the Sunday
schools. This, we judge, is very large
undertaking, yet we believe it both prac-
ticable and commendable. If san ounce OF
prevention is worth pound of cure" it
is certainly better in all respects to take
the youth and teach them and train them
in such way as to fortify them against the
many temptations which lie in their path
way, than to leave them until they have
gone wrong and then attempt to reform
them. And in this line of work we must
look for the best results and for the most
untiring Christian effort. The Hon Lewis
Miller, of this city, presided at the above
meeting and is reported to have made an
excellent address.
The ladies of the Kent Church served
dinner and supper in the base
ment of the building on election day.
The subject of the discourse by Rev. r. B.

THROUGH MICROSCOPE. By Samuel Wells,
Mary Treat and Frederick Leroy Sargent.
Chicago and Boston: The Interstate Pub
fishing Company. 16mo., cloth. Price 60
cents.
This attractive little handbook begins at
the beginning, and tells the young student of
the microscope exactly how to proceed in his
Investigations, what to do and how to do it,
and the reasons therefor. There is no study
so fascinating, or so instructive withal, as
that of natural history with the aid of the
microscope. 1t opens new world to the pu-
pill, and reveals to him wonders and beauties
which are unseen and unknown to the natural
eye. Mary Treat has long been known as an
interesting writer on natural history, and the
valuable series published two or three years
ago in Harper's Monthly were from her
hand. Naturally she has had great expert
ence with the microscope, and so, too, has
Mr.. Wells, who gives suggestions as to out
fits, preparation of objects, and methods of
experiment. Mr.. Sargent tells how home
made microscopes may be prepared and used.

How TO STRENGTHEN THE MEMORY; OR. NAT
URAL AND SCIENTIFIC METHODS OF NEVER
FORGETTING. By M. l.. Holbrook, M. D
Price $1.O0. New York: NJ. L. Holbrook
q Co.
The author of this book believes that the
memory can be strengthened so as to be
many times stronger than it would be with
out culture, and he goes to work in plain,
straightforward way to point out the most
suitable methods. These We find to be per
fectly simple and in accordance with the
nature of the mind. There is nothing but
what every one can understand and adapt to
his own requirements. The author makes
free use of the suggestions and opinions of
others, but is not without methods of his own.
There are chapters on The Memory of the
Aged; The Memory of Names and Localities;
The Musical Memory; The Culture of Mem
DRY in Schools; The Lawyers and Clergy
mems Memory; The Relation of the Health
to the Memory, and a multitude of sugges-
tions and hints of the greatest value. Sew
eral eminent teachers contribute chapters to
the volume. Altogether it is a valuable con-
tribution to an important subject and we
eheerfully recommend it to all, young and
old, learned and unlearned.
Cteero's Select Orations. There could not

Orations from Cicero, published by CHM &

II. and w. f. Allen and j. B. Greenough, the
celebrated authors of Latin text books, which
of itself is an ample guarantee of the wisdom
of the work done. Cicero arrived at man
hood just at the time when the fearful civil
commissions were beginning which ended only
with the overthrow of the Republic. His
public life, lasting nearly forty years, covers
the entire period from Sulla's dictatorship TO
the fall of the Republic; and for all this time

MICHIGAN NOTES.
FROM REV. s. H. Robin.

CharlOtte.-It is matter of sincere re-
greet to the ministers of Michigan that
Rev. James Gorton has resigned his pas
torate, for it looks as though the pleas
ant circle, which has remained unbroken
with one exception, for several years,
would be broken. Besides he has done
faithful work at Charlotte, and we could
wish for no better fate for all concerned,
than his remaining with our most excel
lent people, in that pleasant parish for
many years to come. But the decree has
gone forth, and now let some good parish
call Br. Gorton and be blessed with his
good counsel and sound preaching, and
let Charlotte call some good man and
bless him by abundant encouragement
and helpfulness in carrying on the work
of the church to ever increasing useful
ness and renewed success.

Our society in this place has secured
the regular services of Rev. Frank Nc
Alpine as permanent pastor. There is no
doubt but the parish will prosper under
his illustrations. He made many friends
at the recent State Convention, and the
feeling is general that he will prove an
excellent addition to the ministerial force
of the State. During the Convention he
gave most happy illustration of his
method OF teaching in the Sunday school,
and when he finished Superintendent
