Some Diyorce Statistics.

From the Bureau of Labor we have
received some very interesting informa-
ton on the subject of divorces. Statistics
have been compiled extending over a
period Of twenty years, and the figures
show that, even in the records OF the
divorce courts. California is not behind
The older and more thickly populated
States of the East. For the period men
tion, California has a record of
5000 divorces, or 4SO every year.
This is at the rate OF one
and one-third divorces every day, or
eight divorces every six days, including
Sundays. Nearly half of the divorces in
California are placed to the credit of San
Francisco, which city numbers 4.507 in
twenty years, equal to 225 in each year,
or rather, more than three divorces in
every five days, Sundays included. Out
side of San Francisco we find that, in
this State, Sacramento can account for
GAL divorces in twenty years, or AZ per
annum, while Los Angeles county comes
third with $50, and Santa Clara fourth
with 440. 1t is appalling to see that we are
obliged to give second place to Chicago,
which, with population three times as
large as that of San Francisco, has less
than twice as many divorces. New
York stands a long way behind, with
very few more divorces than San Fran.
cisco, the figures being Chicago S765
New York ALT, and San Francisco 45O7.
It is sad to think that San Francisco has
. greater divorce record than Chicago
which is generally conceded to be one oi
the wickedest cities on earth. Our dis.
tinction in this respect is due, no doubt,
to the facility and secrecy afforded by
our courts to parties seeking di.
vorces. This serves as an an induce
ment for our ill-mated to seek our
shores and attain their ends, thus swell.
ing up the records of our divorce courts
with numbers of cases that properly be-
long to Chicago, New York and else
where. The influx of population and
tide of emigration turning this way will
also naturally add to our divorce records,
and the boom in Los Angeles will soon
help to increase the number of divorces
there, and bring it into greater promi-
nence as the southern metropolis OF Cali
fornia. A city of such pretensions as Los
Angeles cannot afford to be far behind
San Francisco, and it should certainly ex
ceed Sacramento in the number OF its di
vorces.-[News Letter.

following is q description Of it:
This book traces the leavening inau-

creeds of partislist churches, and shows
how it has modified them in our direc-
ton, demonstrates, in fact, that they
have made continual progress toward
Universalism ever since the organization
Of the Universalist Church.
The work is valuable in the following
particulars: 1t gives the exact language
of the principal creeds as they stood g

dorsements Of those creeds by those who
have adopted them; confessions of their
evil influence by those who have accept

all the terms quoted against us are con-
ceded by "orthodox" scholars to be in
harmony with our faith; concessions by
the great commentators that the princi-

concessions and remarkable statements

the passing century, in scholarship. crit

and dogmas into its own likeness. No

ILLINOIS UNIyERSALIST CONvEN-
TION.

Once more appeal to the pastors and
parishes for their contributions to the
Convention. Many parishes have paid
in full; others have paid nothing during
the year. We are dependent upon the
payments to meet the obligations of the
Convention. The missionary work de-
ponds upon the promptness and the lib
erality of the parishes.
Will not the pastors of those churches
which have not sent in their quotas give
the matter immediate attention? In pas
torless churches let some layman or lay
woman attend to this work.
We need money at once. Why wait
for further requests from the officers of
the Convention? May not this be suffi.
Gent reminder of duty, that we may re
ceive immediate and full contributions.

there is large Universalist element in
the town, and if steps could be taken at
once, church can be organized there
which will be almost aelf-supporting from
the first. The Detroit Record says:
"The last of four services conducted by
the Rev. W. A. Pratt, pastor of the Univer
saliat church of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was
held at the Opera hall ON Sunday to an
audience that filed the large hall. Mr..
Pratt has been spending his vacation in
this little village, and held services at the
request of some OF our citizens of the lib
eral faith. Three services were held in
the Baptist church, but the large attend
ence and increased interest made q larger
hall necessary, and the Opera hall was Sc
cured for the last service. To most OF his
audience Universalist teachings were a
