OHIO-Dr. Crane at NOrwalk.-A
recent visitor tn this parish writes: "Dr.
Crane seems much at home and interest
ed in his work. Very great interest Is
now felt in him and family throughout
the Society. A continuation of such in
terest cannot fail to greatly revive the
parish. DR.. Crane speaks with direct
ness that makes his utterances forcible
and effective. Two excellent discourses
were delivered on Sunday. They were
carefully listened to, and highly appre-
ciated. HIS daughters add much to the
choir work-indeed to all society worn"
Springfield Since last spring we have
been without settled pastor, and preach
ing has been irregular. When there has
been any certainty about supply in the
pulpit, congregations have been not
large, but good. The Sunday. school has
a fxedness and starts the new year with
greater numbers, interest and system.
Br. Dewitt it's Superintendent, has the
faithtulness which makes success We
have good people here; people who
have Universalism in the spirit and in
the backbone, "holding fast the faith
full word" Since the sale of the old
property, we are in rented, unattra ,tive
building, but we have within us 'lively
hope" that in the not far-off time, we shall
be built up anew in brick and mortar,
and be more profitable servants in speak
ing the word " of the true God and eter-
nal lite."
