portunity to study with advantage The
various types OF grief, Tor instance present
a wide field for observation. The grief of

OF children for their parents is widely diff
ferent from tnat OF a wife for her husband.
The last is the most intense form of all grief.
except. perhaps. that Of q mother for her
child, which II very closely resembles. The
grief of wife is usually much greater than
that of = husband. and both husbands and
wifes who make the loudest and most par
oxysmsl demonstrations of sorrow, are
generally the ones who soonest console
themselves with an other cOnjugal partner.
Experience has convinced me. however.
that for a man to marry within short
time after the death of his wife, or for
woman TO do so soon after the death of her
husband. is by no means a marx OF dis

during the heated term than later on, and
who make tho pictures at their leisure There
are solne disappointments at the hands OK
author and artist, but the supply Of matter
is always large enough to make the complete
book When the book is completed there Is
generally regret on the part of the editors
and publishers that some Of the best ma tier
has been crowded out-that kind always is

IOWA. Clarinda.-Th writer recent
ly spent Sunday at Clarinda, nice
little to wn in Southwestern lowe, and
took occasion to attend both morning
and evening services of the Universalist
church, under the passionate OF Rev. B. F.
Shook. Br. Shook having started not
long since with small disorganized little
society hes brought it up into such
condition that it is credit to the church,
and society of which he may be justly
proud. 1t contains many of the best
families in that section, and is power
for good in the community. If mistake
not the success of this church is very
largely due to the beautiful Christian ex-
ample and life of the pastor and his wor-
thy family. He is not trying to see how
hideous he can paint orthodoxy, but is
showing the beauty and Christianity of
Universalism.
Is not this case pointer" to clergy
men who spend SO much time in fighting
technicalities that they get but little time
to do the Masters work of lifting up the
fallen and carrying the glad news to
those who need it? OF Universalism we
can well say, Z" It's own uncovered beauty
is its best defence" TRAVELLER.
Charles City, Rev. Mrs. Crossmsn
has already entered upon her pastoral
labors in Charles City. The opening
service was held on June 3, before a full
house, and gave great satisfaction. The
friends are much encouraged and hope
full of permanent work. Hereafter reli-
gious services will be held every Sunday
at half past o'clock. We hope to re-
cord the organization of a Ladies Society
and Sunday school within brief time.
OREGON cMinnville.- From pri-
vate letters from McMinnville we learn
that the new parish recently organized in
that city is in an active, though pastor
ess condition. The ladies society meets
every week. They have supplied them.
selves with books for active Sunday
school work. Pulpit supplies have been
arranged for the summer, and regular
services were expected to begin on Sun
day, June 10. 1t is hoped that enough
work will be done in the Willamette Val
ley to secure good conver ton at Nc
Minuville in July.

has attended our church service and
our weekly meetings, during call that he
made me few evenings since, told me
that my church was attracting good
deal OF attention in the town and sur
rounding vicinity. The young people are
becoming much interested, and there are
many among them, and among the older
people, whom shall be able to receive
into the church soon, I think, il l feel that
I can remain among them. We are iso.
lated from all church and ministerial re-
lations; and although I have been mis-
sionsry for State Convention, that for
several years sent me into places during
my term of service, where our interpre-
tation of the Saviour's mission had never
been presented I was never SO much of a
stranger in so far away land. May our
precious church at large give us their
prayers for our faithful service in right
eousness, and for Christian success.
Upon going into the church on Sunday
morning at communion service, was
unexpectedly happy in meeting, as we
used to call them, "one of my fathers
boys" Rev. J. FL. Stewart. His presence
carried me back to the early years, when,
at the same time with Mr.. Stewart, w.
81. Ryder and J. Fl. Tuttle were prepar-
ing for the ministry; and there was an
other among them whom L also tenderly
remember-one who, think, was not
only studying, but was preaching some-
what, to the wonderful satisfaction of the
people, while Mr.. futile and Mr.. Ryder
were at Clinton. One of more brilliancy
Of thought, and more social magnetism,
than either of the other three. Byronic
in head and face, around whom the ar
fect1ons of so many clustered; but when
the firm hands of noble friends were re-
moved by distances from the clasp of his
own, he proved unstable as waterman
dered away into forbidden paths by the
reception of delusive theories; while the
true hearts of his co-workers grew damp
with tears, as they watched his pitiful
career; and only few years ago, he died
alone among strangers, in strange coun-
try, except for the constant presence of
his faithful wife, who, we used to say,
gave to him the worship the human heart
cen only safely offer to God, and who
made him a grave on the far-western
prairies. And in the early days of last
March, another of that number of young
disciples-the grand, pure-lived, sweet.
hearted DR.. William Henry Ryder went
through the open doorway, to stand with
his up-lifted, tender face beside Goods
unclouded, great white throne" In men,
DRY of one, we carry the fragrance of ho-
lest memories, and sing our songs of
thanktulness; in thought of the other, we
say, in tender accents, God be pititull >
