follows;
"a week ago Turner Sykes hand

ter from Robt. e. Morrison, dated
The 9Th instant, from st. Johns.
Arizona. Morrison wrote Buck that
you had been appointed District
Attorney, through the influence OF
Harris Baldwin, and that you were
suing some one in whom he was
deeply interested for $4,000 dam
ages, for defamation Of profession-
al character-that it might be nee
essary to take dispositions here as
to your past professional career.
and that Barry Matthews had sug-
gested his name as the proper party
to take such dispositions. He ask
ed history Of you in advance, and
offered to pay for any trouble Buck
might have. Ir'piied to him, re-
turning the letter with thanks, that

just at this season of the year a large
number of our smaller congregations in
the country, where services are suspended
during the winter months, are making
preparations for resumption of public
worship. To these, and other of our
smaller congregations holding monthly
or semi monthly services, we recommend
as good book for the song service of
worship and the regular services of the
sanctuary, Conference Chorals."
This little book contains Ga pages and
is bound in strong MANILA covers. The
first strain Of each tune is given. It con.
tains 100 hymns, and may be used indie
pendently OF the larger work, "Christian
Chorals," of which it is companion. 1t
is an admirable collection of hymns for
public worship, and is furnished at a
very low price to secure a wide circula-
ton. Price IL cents single copy; $1.25
per dozen; SO per hundred.
A new edition of this little book has
recently been published by the Publish
ing House and the Western Branch can
supply orders TO any extent. 1t is Just
exactly the book required for occasional
services, and is published at so low a
price that our congregations can use the
same without any very large outlay. Let
our friends order it and equip their con-
gregatons for worship and song the
coming season.

since it's organization, except occasional
preaching, and no effort made to erect
house or push the work. or course such
a course is suicidal. But recently there
have been efforts made to secure regular
services one fourth OF the time, and with
fair prospects of success. We have an
interest in church building here, built
by the Seventh Day Adventists, and we
can have the use of the house at any
time on Sunday, as their Sunday is on
Saturday. Rev. 1. B. Grandy preached
here on the fifth Sunday in April to full
houses; also at the Badger Grove Baptist
church in the country seven miles, at 2
o'clock. The house was filled and deep
interest was manifested for our cause.

future prospects at present, but will have

Miami City.-A visitor at this place
writes: ga feeling of sadness rests over
the good people of Miami City at the re-
moval of Rev. J. P. MacLsan to Urbana,
Ill. While resigned, with the hope OF
equal or greater good coming to him and
his work elsewhere, yet they know not
how to separate him from the good work
he was doing in this place. Evidently
he is highly esteemed in this harmonious
and hopeful society, as also in other fields
of labor. Good ministers are needed in
all the West, yet Ohio can hardly afford
to furnish any OF them on account of its
own pressing needs"

DIR. r. r. Mclaughlin, of Westville
churoh, has never recovered from injuries
sustained last winter when getting off a
train, on which he had gone to carry
sick child. The conductor did not give
him sufficient time to get of safely, and
his injuries will be life lasting. He has
at last concluded to enter suit against
the railroad company for $4,000 damages,
and his friends trust he may be success
full.
Exacting Little Churches.
Rev. DR.. Sawyer said, in a short sd-
dress at the General Convention in New
York City, that it was not the large and
influential churches in cities and else
where, that were so exacting in their
demands upon ministers. It was the
little churches thst "paid their min
listers starvation wages" that wanted
to discount them il they happened to
"miss sermon or two" We believe
this to be true, for we know of churches
that have proposed to do that thing, and
that, too, when ministers have done
large amount OF extra labor, without ex-
pecting or desiring extra compensation.
With these facts known by our young
men, it is not difficult to understand why
our ministerial numbers do not increase
more rapidly.
Newtown and Other Places.
The church at Newtown had, quite re-

called "The Peake Sisters" followed by
refreshments in the basement. An en-
PERTAINING and profitable evening was en-
joyed.
The Ridgeville congregation OBJ
served "Arbor Day" by planting trees in
the church yard. One was named in
honor of the late DR.. NJ. FL. Keever, who
was one of the pioneers of Universalism
in the Miami Valley.
Rev. Harry L. Garfield, our pastor
at Stryker, has engaged in the printing
business, and entered the editorial ranks,
being at the head of The Maunaee VALLEY
Prohibitionist.
The young ladies Of Miss Hattie
Spencer's class in our Columbus Sunday
school, gave q social entertainment, fol-
lowed by refreshments. A pleasant even
ing was enjoyed, and handsome amount
realized for the benefit of the library.
The church at Plattsville, Shelby
County, has been repaired and neatly
papered, and is now pleasant place of
worship.
Our ministerial forces in this State
do not increase very rapidly. Four have
removed too Their Safes, and one has died
since last Convention. Four have come
to us from other Conventions.

II ANSON AND LOZIER DEBATE. BY
u Rev. J. W. HANSON, D. D., and Rev
j. Fl. Lozier, Methodist.
This discussion occupied four evenings of
two hours each. DR.. Hanson defended Uni
versal Salvation during the first two evenings,
and Mr.. Lozier replied. Mr.. Lozier led in
support of Endless Misery the two following
evenings, and DIR. Hanson replied. The
struggle was short, sharp, and any unpre-
JUDGED mind will say, decisive. Read it and
loan it. AS missionary work it will do
much good.

qusinted and has the respect and esteem
of all who know him. AS all Of Br. DELL
gren's followers belong to the wage earn
ing class, their means are small, and the
work suffers all the time for lack of funds
The work needs the sympathy and financ-
ial support of all our churches. ASwed-
ish translation of Hsnson's "Bible Proofs"
has been circulated among his people, as
well as series of tracts entitled "Who
Are The Lost?" The contributions of any

INDIANA NOTES.

Ii the financial condition of the coun-
try, and the deprecated prospective con-
dition of the wheat crop has anything to
do with the prosperity or want of pros.
perity, I might say, of our denomination
that we may not hope for any great de-
gree of prosperity during the year.
Churches and ministers may make up
their minds to make the best of it. Pol
itics must take the place OF religion for
some time to come, and there is, alas, lit
tie religion in the politics of the present
Indeed, some are afraid our religion and
politics will get mixed, of which there is
too often little danger, as they could no
more mix than Oil and water. The
churches are among the places we begin
to practice economy by cutting down ex-
penses. Still there is reason to hope for
a fair degree of prosperity in the State
but it can only be done by " eternal vigl.
lance which you know is ''the price of
liberty" 1t is also the price of religious
success.
Since my last article move has been
made in the
North Vernon
church to put the building in repair and
make arrangements for regular preach
ing. There are few "who have a mind
to work" among the good women of our
church, and some out of the church as
we'll who have been circulating a sub
scription with good results and the
church will soon be papered and painted
in good shape for services. There will
be probably 5000 expended in repairs.
This is one of the best churches in the
State, built many years ago, but in con-
sequence of neglect and no preaching is
in great need of restoration. The vener-
able Col. 81. Trip and wife have been
among its most efficient helpers, but with
the exception of financial aid they will
not be able to do much, as age and
afiiction have largely disqualified them
for active work. Still they will do what
they can to help the work along. Others
who have been the stsunch supporters
of this once prosperous church, have
passed on to the beyond, and still 9TH
ers have united with other churches
on account of our negligence. If the
Universalists ere united we would be
the strongest church.
Terre Haute.
Our church here is still prosperous and
it is the design to keep the pastor, Rev.
M. W. Tabor, if the salary can be pro-
vided for. The Sunday school is not large
but hopeful. A fair recently conducted
by the ladies was quite successful, netting
them over 5000, which is to apply on the
church debt. Another effort will be
made soon to raise funds to reduce the
debt incurred in repairing the church
and raising the pastors salary, and for
which the property was mortgaged for
$4,000.
