GAZETTE OFFICE,
FORT WORTH. TBI., Feb. %. lSsS.
Trade to-day with all classes of dealers
has been heavy. The beautiful weather
brought out large number OF people.
Cotton seed is very scarce on the mar
ket.
There is very little grain being brought
in.
WOOL.
A fair amount Of business is doing in
the eastern wool markets on the BASIS of
last weeks quotations.. There seems to
De rather more activity at Boston and
Philadelphia than at New York. The
manufacturers are taking contracts
freely fer heavyweight goods at
last years values or lower, and no
longer hesitate to buy material for use
during the spring. A month ago they
asked for concessions; now they are
ready to take supplies at quotstions when
they lnd what suits them. Apart from
this the situation Is unchanged.
Prices at the London sales declined thu
hrst OF the week, and the result wSs re-
viVAl of demand and = steSdying of the
market. Competition is moderately &C
tive, with large proportion of the pur-
chases going to the continent. American
buyers are doing but little Brad
streets.

which has deprived them Of their house
Of worship.
We go to press too early after the dis
aster to present further particulars.
Without doubt measures will be at once
taken by the enterprising and devoted
congregation to replace the edifce now
destroyed. The Minneapolis Universe
lists are abundant in wealth, enterprise
and good works; they are also gener-
GUS in all church emergencies. They
may be depended on to contribute liber-
ally to rear another temple Of the Lord;
and no doubt "the glory of the latter
house shall be greater than the former"
Wehave strong confidence that the re-
cent disaster will not be followed by any
large embarrassment to the society, or
the suspension of Christian activities in
any degree in that large and prosperous
parish.

THE UNIvERsALIsT QUARTERLY.

The Universalist Quarterly for Janu-
airy, 1888, is just from the press, looking
admirable in its new and handsome topo-
graphy, and with new style Oh cover.
The Improvement amounts to complete
reiuyenation of the now venerable Quar-
terLu,-which enters on its forty-hfth
volume with this number. 1t contains
1872 papes of exceedingly valuable matter
- the contributed articles filling ninety
eight pages and the remainder devoted
to the Editors General Review" The
writer's are President Gone and DIR. j. 3.
Lee: Revs. J. Merrifield, E. L. Briggs,
r.. O. Williams, I. O. Knowlton and
OIney I. Darling. The notice OF the
several articles must be deferred for
week. The Publishing House has made
good in an ample manner its promises IN
regard to the Quarterly. In type and
paper and general "make up" as well as
in the solid and attractive character OF its
contents, it is the peer OF any similar pup
LEGATION. We trust that with the new vol
ume it may secure an increased patron
age. Especially should our ministers
provide themselves with the Quarterly
for the present year. 1t was never more
worthy of cultivated circle OF readers
and it will be found to repay abundantly
the closest critical attention and study.

THIS WEEK,

II the reader notices this week the ab-
sence of the first column of semi edito-
rial, or any change from the general
style of our "make up" the reason is at
hand-charge it to Ohio. Even in large
paper like The UNIvERsAL1sT, the call
for eighteen or more columns for special
articles is more or less felt as an overflow
of riches. Yet we are able to handle this
accession OF matter with comparative
ease-the slight departure from our uni
formity is no great affair. But it strong
Iy suggests the question: Where would
we be. or what would we do, if we had
only a paper of the dimensions OF the
Star and CoUendnt to serve our readers?

DEATH OF REV. A. M. SOULE.

The clerical death record of the year is
once more increased. Saturday, Jan. 7,
REV. A. M. SoULE died at his home in
North Pennington, Mich, aged II years.
DIR. Rextord. who attended his funeral,
furnishes the following
Br. Soule, after studying in the Mead.
vile Theological school, became an
honored minister in the Christian de.
nomination till about twenty years ago,
when he connected himself with the Un-
iversalist church in Ohio, where he la
bored to good acceptance as paste of our
churches at Woodstock and Clyde. While
he had outgrown the doctrinal beliefs of
his earlier church connections he always
retained cordial sympathy with, and
affection for, those people, and was held
in honorable esteem by people of all
classes, whether in our denomination or
another. For two years he was the hon
ored chaplain Of the 74th Indiana Rsgi-
ment.
In Michigan he was pastor of our
churches at Pennington and New Hudson
and 1 think at one or two other places. For
several years past he has lived quietly on
HIS farm near Farming ton, preaching oc.
casionally. attending numerous funerals
and weddings among his friends, of
whom he was possessed of a large num-
Der. He leaves an honored memory of a
simple and devoted character as neighbor,
friend, citizen, minister and man. A large
number assembled at his funeral on Tues.
day, Jan 10, among whom was large
body of the Masonic brethren, of which
order he was an honored member. The
sympatbies of the entire community are
extended to his aged companion and the
children who survive him. The day of his
burial was the fifty fourth anniversary of
his marriage with Thankful Allen of Sar-
atogs Co., N. Y, with whom he had
passed joyous and happy life

IMPORTANT OHIO TOPICS.
THE QUOTAS.

In order to meet the cost Of our mis-
sionary work, as now in process, we are
obliged to depend upon annual contri-
buttons from the various churches.
The funds now in hand and bearing in
terest, yield net revenue of not quite
$500. This will leave about ST. 200 to
be provided for by other means. A
part of the sum needed will be collected
by the State Superintendent in his
rounds, varying according to circum-
stances, and the generosity of the indi-
vidual parishes he serves. Unless,
however, he deserts his legitimate work
to devote his attention exclusively to
raising money, a considerable balance
must still be furnished.
1t is in view of this necessity that
the Convention has voted to apportion
the sum of $500 among the several
churches in the State, sin the ratio of
their presumed ability" and upon the
response of the churches to this reason
able apportionment, will depend the
ability of the Convention to meet its
obligations. The sum asked from the
single church is in most cases small !;
yet if all will honor the demand cheer
fully and promptly, the aggregate will
be an encouraging amount.
Let the churches take note how rea-
sonable and how urgent is this claim.
And since the Convention year is now
more than half gone, let them pay in
their quotas as speedily as possible.
Brethren, the work depends directly
upon us; let us be faithful to our
duties.
