ish entirely rested and ready for work,
he gladly resumes his relations with the
readers of this noble paper of our faith,
and will strive to give the news OF our

Detroit.
We regret that Detroit is not TO have
the pastor OF its choice. We believe that
Br. Shutter would havefound most excel
lent field of work and happy home with
these valiant Universalists of our metrop-
oils. Minneapolis, however, is in need Of
just such faithful minietrations as our
good brother is wont to give, and so no
doubt els best that he remain. There
are good fish yet in the sea and the trus-

Rochester.
This parish which was once active and
prosperous under the care OF the late
Br. Kuickerbacker is being revived by the
vigorous labor OF Br. W. L. Swan, of
Lansing. This is an exceedingly hard
field at the present time and il Br. Swan
succeeds in his undertaking we shall
feel that an important point has been
regained and jubilee will certainly be
in order. Regular services are being
maintained, good audiences assemble,
good sermons are being preached and

for prosperous year for the society.

determined will to make live church

hold with renewed energy to conquer
error and sin.

and capacity for plenty of work. The

vacation does not always scatter the
flock.
The other ministers are into the labors
