assumed the same duties OF the summer
season.
NEW YORKSHIRE News.-Our
church edifice in Little Falls has recent
ly been repainted. The pastor is enjoy
ing vacation at the Thousand Islands.
As an evidence of the high regard en-
tertained for the Rev. Ure Mitchell, OF
Fort Plain, by the members OF the
church of the Messiah and Sunday
school, last Sunday, in behalf OF the
church and Sunday school, W. r. Haig
presented the reverend gentleman with
two purses Of money, one containing 1925
from the church, and the other Of S12
from the Sunday-school.-Miss Alice
Moore's Sunday-school class, Buffalo,

country for week or more during this
month The Christian Endeavor and
Missionary societies will have in charge
a social service to be held on each Sun
day in this month, in the large vestry at
the usual hour of morning service.-Rev.
Elliott B. Barber has supplied the pulpit
at Bristol for two Sundays. It is hoped
the parish will take q new departure
under the stimulus Of his effort.-Rev. J.
J. Brayton is supplying temporarily for
the Fulton parish. The Canton church
would like to secure him.
CALIFORNIA. -Pasadena.-Br. E.
l.. Conger writes this for the advantage
of friends North and East. Doubtless
there are many who will be glad to get
the information it gives.
"For the accommodation Of those who
are contemplating a visit to Southern
Cslifornia, and wish to find comforts-
BILE home awaiting them, and the sdvsn-
tage OF Universalist Society, and the priv
ileges of q Universalist church, suggest
that they correspond with e. e. Spauld-

the trip would be heightened, and much
discomfort avoided, if people had some
one to welcome them on their arrival, or
knew just what was awaiting them.

regret. The loss was universally mourned.
ALI classes felt that a friend had been
taken. The grief as as manifest out OF
her own church as in 1t. Her life had
become part of the life of her parish
toner's and friends.
At the memorial service the church
was filed, and all manifested the tender
appreciation in which Miss Fleming was
held. Her labors, during the three years
she was with this people, we're such as to
knit the hearts OF the people with hers.
Fifty-six were received into the church
under her pastorate. An equal, or even
greater work, was the influence which
her pure life had upon the people of
Avon, without regard to church lines.
Her work in temperance, In school, as in
church is worthy to be commended as an
example to others. Words Of mine seem
harsh and cold to properly set forth the
esteem in which che was held. I can but
give the facts and leave each to trace in
them the spirit, the tenderness, the ga
credness to which they would fain give
expression.
The church was draped in black, dec.
GRATED by loving hands In a way best
adapted to speak our sorrow, as well as
to shadow forth our glorious hope. Rev.
George Orum, of Macomb, preached a
short sermon from Matt. xviii. 6, " He is
not here, for he is risen." Br. Headed, of
the Unitarian church, offered tender,
uplifting prayer. President White, of
Lombard, in a few remarks spoke feel
ingly, and in the highest praise, OF her
as a woman and preacher. While the.
occasion was very sad one indeed, DR.,
Whites words were so tender, SO full OF
the hope Of immortal life that we seemed
almost to be lifted up to the sphere she
has entered, with no barrier between the
living and the dead.
She has been removed from earth, but

and ready to be gathered up when the
Master called. Com.

ECHOES FROM THE NORTHLAND.

ST.. PAUL, MIMI, Aug. 15.-How the
good preachers are enjoying themselves
these days! By mountain stream, in piney
woods, where the ocean roars, or where the
ripples break along the sandy lake beach
where are they not? Brown and blistered
soon they will be trooping back, some of
them from far Europe's shores. I am
glad they can go. The minister needs a
rest once in awhile. He has an exacting
calling, his head is beclouded with many
perplexities, he needs rest. But as I
look at it, his pulpit doesn't. think
the greatest mistake made in all this sum-
mer vacation business is the church clos
ing one. 1t has been phrased so many
times that "the devil never takes a vaca-
tion," and while we may question the
personality of the devil, the principle un.
derlying the phrase must be recognized
by all. If the pastor goes away, does not
the flock remain? Because the minister
must seek rest and recreation is that any
reason the pulpit should stand alone, a
spiritual specter in church of gloom2
Let your minister go il he needs it, but
don't close the church. IL it were not for
being decried as carping, would say
that think there are occasions when it
isn't absolutely imperative that the min
lister should take two months slice out
of the summer, even il his people get a
supply A good many people in this
world think they are sick when in reality
they are lazy.

I have tiny little friend that greets

His slender little body sways as the sweet
wind comes by, and yet he bears himself
full proudly. How fine he looks amid
the soft green as he sturdily bears aloft a
yellow shield. Execrated by some, de-
spised by others. while still others strip
him bare and devour his succulent ex-
tremities, he yet holds himself with all
dignity, and when the time comes he puffs
out his cheeks and lo woody ball goes
rolling down the sward, perpetuating
him in many grassy nook under the

thee for thy staunch persisteney; hail
thee as my friend; own thee as glad

OHIO.-Springfield.- We have just
read an article in The UNIvERsALIsT as
serting that there are many Universalist
families of wealth and influence in
Springfield, O., but not even place to
hold Sunday school; and closing by
calling attention to the zeal our Metho-
dist brothers and sisters would be likely
to bring to the front in such case. We
take this way to ask in the interests of
the church we love, whether there is not
some family in that place who will open
their home to the children and youth of
our church for Sun day. school, or to
gather in the people for weekly meeting
for praise, prayer and social worship.
1t may be some trouble. Carpets and
rich furnishings may have to be COW
cred or removed, for the time, but it
would be sac rifice for the cause we love,
and the good of humanity. Such work
would do more to revive the Masters
cause, and build up Gospel of love in
Springfield, than any number OF lawn
parties, lunches or oyster suppers that
could be thought of in summer. Not
that we would speak one disparaging word
of such gatherings. They are useful in
their place, but the Christian church will
not stand on sociality, hoWever wisely
conducted. Christ is the only sure foun-
dation; the chief stone of the corner. The
world is ripening for the trne evangelical
church. The Univ eraalist church OF to-
day holds that position or claims to. Let
us rise up then, in our might and possess
the land which is ours for the taking.

As the college has recently been revived
we would be glad to learn of some means
whereby the church could be sustained
for it occupies valuable missionary
point.
From the report of Rev. r. N. John
Superintendent of Indiana. published in
the Convention Reporter, we learn that
hard working official has found time, in
addition to his arduous lsbors in his own
State, to extend ''helping hand" to Ohio
He has made several visits to Bunker
Hill, and revived the church there and
instituted Sabbsth-school. Bunker
Hill is near Oxford, and perhaps it could
be made the basis for revival OF work in
the latter place.
We had a pleasant call from Rev. F.
K. BEEN few days ago, and learn with
regret, that he is setting his face eastward.
Br. BEEN is worthy young man, and is
a denominational Universalist, and we
wish him success wherever he may To-
cate.
Br. Crispin's Book.
As has been announced in The UNI
vERsALIsT, Br. W. F. Crispin, of Akron,
we'll known as the former agent of Buch-
tel College, has published book, enti-
tied "Universalism and the Problems of
the Universalist Church" While we will
not attempt review, we unhesitatingly
pronounce it valuable addition to our
UNCONVENTIONAL literature. 1t is not
claimed by the author, that it is original
except in design, bat its contents are OF a
valuable character. The Introductory
chapter, from the authors pen, contains
suggestions enough for dozen practical
sermons. Particulars regarding price
can be obtained by addressing Br. Girls
pin, at Akron. He is personally visiting
many OF our churches in the interest of
his book, and his sales are quite as large
as could be expected, all things consid-
cred.
Where to Go to Church.
During the Centennial celebrations at
Cincinnati and Columbus, many Univer-
salists will visit both cities. II they should
remain over Sabbath, they will find re-
ligious privileges in the morning at the
Plum street church, and in the evening
at the McMillen street church, in Gin
cinnati, and both morning and evening
at the chapel on East State street, near
Startling Medical College, in Columbus.
A cordial reception to visitors will be ex-
tended at all these churches.
Political.
The Presidential campaign this year
bids fair to be very exciting one. Uni
versalists are to be found in the Repub-
ican, Democratic and Prohibition par
ties, and we are far from decrying the
sincerity of any member of either of these
organizations. But we urge all to carry
the spirit of their religion into their poll
tics, and in discussions to remember that
bitter denunciation and personal recrim-
nations never convince, but sometimes
arouse feelings that result in contin-
ued injury. In political discussions "let
your moderation be known, 'and especial
ly avoid political discussions on the Sab
bath.

plan that renders the book as we'll fitted
for reading as for reference. Under
