WISCONSIN.-Rev. C. L. Waite, who
in September resigned as pastor at Mon
roe, has accepted call to Macedon, N. T.,
and begins his work in that place next
Sunday. Macedon is one of the best
parishes in central New York, and we are
confident that Br. Waite will find it an
interesting and pleasant field. The Wis
consin brethren, and those of the West
generally, will regret Br. Waite's depart
ure. New York receives in this transfer
of relations preacher favorably known
from his former six years residence at
Cooperstown, and will not, therefore, re-
greet the change.
IOWA. The Executive Committee
of the State Convention held meeting
at Waterloo the week before last. Brs.
Platt, Brown, Bonner and Hoyt were
present. 1t was, as one writes, "a fairly
good meeting" and the interest of the
cause in various quarters of the State was
discussed. We learn that Red Oak sent a
request for aid and an effort to organize
parish. Rev. J. f. SCHNEIDER was dele
gated to respond to the request and we
hope good may result.

undoubtedly shall make no move toward en-
gaging pastor. for all work in that line now
would be at too great disadvantage. and we
think would be too great an expenditure for
the benefits or returns it would promise. At
all events, we seem to choose to conserve our
resources for what we deem the matter of
greater importance-the building of our. Sun
day-school room. We are still preserving the
nucleus by keeping up our Sunday-school;
and feel very confident that when we reach
the point that we can make beginning. there
will be revival of interest in our cause in
this city. Our population is now increased to
not far from 8O,OOO-an increase of 10000 in
the last ten years. OF this increase we IN
doubtedly have our proportion. We look for
ward to the time when ne Columbus church
will lead all others in Ohio. if we make no mis-
take when we settle pastor"

schools have been most carefully consid-
cred. The book contains over two hun
dred separate pieces of music, and has
long been in preparation as labor of
love on the part Of the Editor, who has

1t is simple fact that no question has
received such an impetus of late years as
that of the destiny of mankind. Since
the beginning of the present century the
old heather doctrine OF Endless Torment
has been losing ground all over the
world. we rejoice to say, and the true
doctrine of the Scriptures, that all pun
ishment of sin is remedial, not revenge
full, paternal, not eternal - has made
rapid progress among all Protestant
communities. This is to be accounted
for in many ways. One way of chief i'm
portance has been the circulation of
books and papers such as those of DIR.
Hanson's. We can not speak too highly
of the volumes before us. In Bible
Threatenings there is a complete de-
molition of the supposition that either
the Old or New Testament teaches end
less pain. "Ihe Cloud of Witnesses"
including not less than 300 pages of
quotations, prose and poetry, of great
authors who believe there is

A most interesting volume. So we can
say Of the other two works of DR.. Hanson
We wish the works of DR.. Hanson were

demonstration of the infinite love of God,

bazaar one could buy variety Of articles,
the most popular OF which seemed to be
the paper flowers. At this stand Mrs. j.
K. Mitchell was the presiding genius. At
the east end of the hall the tables loaded
with tempting delicacies we're arranged.
Suffice it to say that they we're literally
patronized.
"What all we're most anxious to see,
however, was the marching by the dairy
maids. This began about nine o'clock,
Mart Phares' orchestra providing the
music. The young ladies taking part in
this charming exercise we're captained by
Miss Chapman, the Lombard teacher of
elocuticp. They marched with precise
step and performed number of graceful
evolutions. The costumes we're of many
colors, were gay, airy and attractive. In
one hand each carried stool, and in the
other a bright tin pail. The stools were
covered, and the covers we're either made
of some delicate and beautiful material,
or else were lovely with some artistic de-
sign, all combining to make the stools
valuable souvenirs of the occasion.
After the marching, the young ladies
formed circle and Miss Chapman auc-
toned off the stools. The bidding was
quite brisk and some stools brought good
prices. Financially" adds the Register,
"as we'll as socially, the Fair was a COM
plete success" The net receipts were

OHIO.
THE COLUMBUS CHURCH.


The facts in relation to the Columbus
parish and its prospects for the future
are embraced in the following letter from
an authoritative source, written in re-
spouse to the request Of the Editor of THE
UNIVERSITIES. 1t will be observed that
the parish does not propose to settle a
pastor at present, as some have inferred !;
and that no move will be made in that
direction until after the building of a
Sunday school room. We print this
communication to prevent any further
Misrepresentation as to the purpose of the
parish. No doubt when the beginning is
made it will be ON safe and permanent
basis, and result in a new church and
revived parish in Ohio's capital city:

course. They have secured Rev. Messrs.
Adams and Conklin, of Chicago, and Rev.
Mr.. Alcott, of Elgin. Rev. Mr.. Adams
opens the course Monday evening, Nov.

consists of four lectures and one "home
entertainment" The fourth lecturer has
not yet been secured.
Prot. j. q. Lee is nearly well again.
He has taken charge of nearly all of his
classes.
The theological students are being
we'll supplied with places to preach. They
all have had "turn" at place known
as "the Miles district" There has been
a Universalist Sunday school organized
there, and Br. John Miles, graduate of
Lombard, is the superintendent. We
truly hope that the school may become
one of our best. Simply because it is
small it does not follow that it can not do
as much good as many that are larger.
Rev. Miss A. j. Chaplin is expected to
deliver her lectures on English Litera-
ture soon. They are looked forward to
with great deal of interest both by the
students and the faculty.
We are still welcoming new stu
dents; another one entered last week.
We hope that they will continue to come.
Many more can be accommodated. We

Ed. Register-In our last communication
we stated that it was reported Mrs. Minnie
Mason was dead, which report was false.
We deeply regret having to announce the
death of one Of our best ueighhers. the wife
of Mr. Huston Latham, which was very sud-
den, caused by Il severe attack of asthma.
TO which disease she has been victim for
years She was born and reared near Belle
view valley. Her brother. Thos. Bell. and
wife, also a sister and husband. were present
and to them We cannot, We dare not say,
weep not. Jesus wept at the grave of Laza-
rus. and surely he allows you to weep. Mrs.
Latham was a devoted Christian and kind
and loving wife, and none knew her but TO
love her She remained consc Gus until the
last moment and spoke freely ito her loved
ones who were standing around her with
broken hearts, of her bright prospects for
heaven; urged them to be patient and fol-
low on. We spend our years with signing:
it is /. valley of tears; death is the funeral
of our sorrows TOBIAS.
