The Leader remarks: "a Pasadena pa
per, which has CHANGED to fall into our
hands, speaks in very complimentary
terms of Rev. E l.. Conger, the pastor OF
our new parish in that western paradise.
We have not given up our belief that our
cold eastern climate is favorable to brain
work, but we cannot help feeling that if
all that this California paper says about
its natural surroundings Is true, Mr.. Con-
ger has a good deal to inspire the excel
lent sermons for which the people Of Pas
adena give him credit"
Mr.. J. @. Barrows, Of Nilestown, Ont,
the gentleman who circulates SO much
Universalist literature in Canada through
the post-office mission, and writes occas-
ionally for our columns, was united in
marriage, Dec. %, 1887, with Miss
Amelia, only daughter of Leonard Fox,
of Olinda. The marriage is one of the
good results of the Ontario Convention
of 1887. The parties became acquainted
with each other at that meeting. We
wish them abiding Joy.
Mrs. M. Louise Thomas is the fourth
president of "Sorosis," New York. She
was elected in 1886 and is now serving
her second year. The name OF Mrs.
Thomas has been for many years before
the public, not only in consequence of
the prominent official positions which
she has occupied and graced, but also for
her contributions to the achievements of
woman. Her fine education and high
social position, together with her wide
practical knowledge of affairs and her
rare executive ability, have won for her a
distinguished place among those who
have demonstrated the capacity of women
to assume and successfully perform the
practical duties of life. The dignity and
impartiality with which she presides over
"Sorosis" commands the respect and
confidence of the club, while her broad
philanthropy and womanly Characters
tics, win her host Of friends.
