TEXAS LETTER.
HIoo, TEXAS, JAN. 2, 1888.

HIco, TEXAS, JAN. 2, 1888.
To the Editor of The Uniuersalist:
Please don't suppose all this while you
are having a monopoly in the snow.
Texas has come in for small share of
the soft, mild, woolly kind, that came in
night, TRANSPORTING all the landscape
with an ermine mantle and tinge of
white glory. 1t was lovely sight, and
came to an individual we wot of, from
New England, as lesson Of reproof.
Said person had been known to reiterate

spent in that Northern cline, sending a
shivering blast through her sinner con-
seriousness" at the thought. And, lol this
beautiful picture to rejoice ones heart

inches deep on that remarkable morning,
it was gone in less than three days, leav.
ing fine effect upon the grain fields,
now green and thrifty with promise OF
future abundant harvest.

is travelling on his yearly circuit, preach
ing from five to seven discourses each
week, and writes that he is in excellent
health. Ia some places the black, sticky
mud is SO deep he has to go on horse
back, it being next to impossible to travel
on wheels.
For awhile we, the CO partner OF our
Texas missionary, accompanied him, but
owning to continuous rains, we contract
ed heavy cold and had to pay the PEN
atty promptly, Qike notes on demand.)
Consequently we returned to the home
nest for the time being, broken-down
preacheress, with voice hoarse as ra-
ven's, sent back in disgrace.
Our religious services have been sus-
pended for q time in Hico, but the few
faithful "keep heart Of hope" and be-
lieve the future season will be one Of
prosperity, not only to the impoverished
farmers but to our cause here.

WISCONSIN.-MukwanagO.-Our
parish has been quickened somewhat
by having services upon the two holiday
Sundays. Christmas and New Years. We
feel quite hopeful in regard to having
stated services again some time. Miss
Carrie Rice came up from Galesburg to
spend the holiday week with us. We
hope all the students of Lombard Divin-
ity school are equally gifted and conse.
Grated, in which case they will be not
only an honor to the University. but
steadfast lights to guide the people
home.
Neenah.-The church at Neenah and
Menasha will be closed until spring,
pending some repairs which must be
made before another winter.
Hutchinson The present
pastorate under Rev. Mr.. Rogers common
ced the first Sunday in April. During
this time thirty eight have been added to
the membership of the parish, and
dozen others have declared their inten-
ton to unite soon. A Sunday school
was also started, and under great dis
couragements, has membership of sixty,
and now rapidly increasing. The school
has adopted the Helper seriee. The cleo
trio light was purchased and put in the
day before Christmas. For this beautiful
Improvement the parish is indebted to the
untiring efforts of Mre. Will Baker This
parish is rapidly rising in numbers,
strength and influence. All parties seem
to be settling down to energetic work
for the good of the grandest faith that
ever throbbed in human hearts.
Vining.-Soon after Br Rogers CON-
menced his pastorate at Hutchinson, by
invitation he visited this place in the
northe astern part of Clay county, and
gave them weeks meeting, resulting in
the organization of a society of sixteen.
He has visited them about once a month
since; the society constantly increasing
until now they number about fifty. The
brethren at Vining are the strong, large
hearted kind, and are capable of large
possibilities. The great trial with them
is the lack of a house of worship. 1t is
hoped they will take steps in the near
future to supply themselves with church
and call pastor.
Seneea.-Rev. @. H. Rogers writes:
"We hear good reports from Seneca under
the psstorate of Rev. T. W. Wood

Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT. I'm our

London.
Rev. 81. L. Garfield, State Superintsn-
dent, visited our church at London last
month, and reports prospects for revival
of work there encouraging, If suitable
pastoral relations can be established
London is a prominent town. We have
neat house of worship there, and a well
conducted church would exert an excel.
lent influence in town and country.
The Present Financial Condition
of the State Convention is not such as to
permit the State Superintendent to give
his services free to the churches he visits.
Even il the Permanent Fund was com
pleted this course would not be advisa-
BILE, for there are many ways the income
could be used to the advantage of the
church, in addition to paying salary and
expenses of the Superintendent.
We have heard that Rev. J. p. Mac
Lean is supplying our church at Caledo-
MIA once month.
Our worthy Superintendent was disa-
bled from feld-work during portion Of
last month, by severe cold; but he kept
his pen busy in correspondence for the
welfare of the churches.
We Nill send to all churches blanks
for reports for the year 1887. We trust
they will be promptly filed and returned.
Our numerical strength can be known
only in this way.

NEARLY READY.

The Publishing House will issue early
in the new year, the following books:
"Cousin Angie" by Marie Louisa Parker;
a story of real life for children. This
will be found to be very interesting
book, and will afford a great deal of
pleasure to those for whom it is written.
1t will contain 206 pages.
The REDEEMER.-A series Of opening
services for the Sunday school founded
on the "Life OF Jesus Christi" compiled
and edited by Rev. John Jay Lewis, with
chants and hymns arranged and edited
by Leo Rich Lewis. To be ready about
February 1, 1888.
The selections from the Scriptures in
the thirty-four regular services, together
with the Superintendent readings which
precede them, make up history Of the
life of the Saviour, as recorded in the
four Gospels, and are given in the Revis-
ed Version.
Each service has responsive reading,
a chant, a prayer, and and hymn, which
are selected or written with reference to
the respective selections from the Scrip
lures. Thus each service as well as the
whole series is unit.
Services for special occasions and for
the infant class have also been inserted.
The latter have been prepared by one
who for many years, has had charge of
large primary class, and will therefore
be found specially adapted to that pur-
pose. Price and further information in
relation to the above books will be given
hereafter.

Rev. M. B. Tillotson writes of this
book, by Sophie M. Damon, of Wood
stock, VT:
''This volume is worthy of extensive
reading, in style, easy and natural;
in sentiment, good and wholesome, it
should have place in all our Sunday
school libraries, and will be read with
pleasure and profit by young and old. To
the older people it will bring back the old
familiar days, and it will show the young
how their gandfathers and grandmothers
used to talk and do and live. It has the
charm of romance and yet it is truthful
history throughout; truthful in all it's de-
tails as those testify who are familiar
with the scenes narrated. Lovers of both
fact and fiction will be pleased with the

Now, Wonder ifThis is True?


Governor Foraker, it is announced,
will present the name of Senator Sher-
man to the National Republican Con-
vention, as he did four years ago. Had
Foraker been in earnest for Sherman
at that time the history of the past
four years might have been very differ
ent. The Massachusetts and COnnecti-
cut delegations were all ready to swing
over to Sherman, and only asked that
q certain number of men from Ohio
should remain true to him. When
other States were changing to Blaine,
and Hoar, Long anu Hodge were look
ing to Ohio to stem the tide, the Ohio
Governor arose and in his clarion tones
made the announcement, "Ohio casts
forty-four votes for James G. Blaine" )"
The game was up and Blaine was nomi-
mated. Sherman may have occasion
a third time to pray for deliverence
from his friends. Foraker will
probably be quite ready to play Gar
fields part and attract applause to him.

name of another. The Ohio politicians
have resolved with delightful unanim-
lty that they are all for Sherman, but
this means that they are for Sherman
as long as it does not pay to be for any
BODY else and not a moment longer.

What Two Women Did.

Twenty years ago two maiden ladies,
daughters Of an English clergyman,
were left orphans and poor. One was
forty, the other a little older. They
were ladies, with the training of ladies
of their time-which, after all, was not
so unlike ours. They could play the
piano and paint on plush; but they
were too old and too old-fashioned to
teach. They could, perhaps, have
found shelter in home for decayed
gentlewomen, or been a burden on
their friends. But they dill something
better. With the very little they had, I,
they left their village home and settled
themselves in the outskirts of London.
1t was but a few hundred dollars, but it
sufficed for their project and their sup
port till that project was success.
They set up a laundry. They had
women for the rough work; but the
clear starching and fine ironing went
through their own delicate hands dur
ing the first years. They kept the ac-
counts, collected bills; in brief, fur
nished the brains needed for business
enterprise. At the end of ten years
they had a neat home, large business,
and a certainty of provision for old age.
