Convention called to order at 9:15 AM,
the President, DR.. Tuttle, in the chair.
The minutes of Wednesday session read
and approved, and the courtssies of the
Convention extended to all visiting cler-
gymen.
SECOND CHURCH, AINNEAPoLIS.
Rev. l.. G.. Powers presented resolu-
ton providing for mortgage of not
more than $4,000 on the new church edi-
fee and lot of the above parish. He said
that it was hoped that there would be no
indebtedness when the church was ready
for dedication; but if it became neces-
sary to put mortgage on the church, he
desired the permission of the Convention,
which was necessary to its legal execu-
tlon. The proposition was briefly dis
cussed. 1t was urged that such permits
sion was establishing dangerous precs-
dent, and that where the title vested in
the Convention, great care should be ex-
ercised in such matters. The resolution
was finally unanimously adopted.
THE SWEDISH MISSION.
In relation to this mission DIR. Tuttle
presented the following preamble and
resolutions:
WHEREAS, Rev. August Dellgren was in
vited two years ago by this Convention to
visit Minneapolis and make tentative effort
to establish Swedish Universalist church
there, and
WHEREAS, Br. Dellgren in answer to this
call came to Minneapolis in July, 1888, and
began his missionary work among the Scan
dinavians and has continued it up to this
time, having organized society of thirty
members, more or less, and
WHEREAS; the results of his labors, though
not as great as some of the most sanguine
among Us expected, have nevertheless been
such as to Justify our faith in his ultimate
success in building up and maintaining the
first Swedish Universalist church in the world,
il he can receive adequate encouragement
and support. Therefore
Resolved, Tha. the action of this Conven-
tion in relation to Br. Dellgren, two years
ago, be considered wise and practical one;
and that his missionary enterprise in Mime
apolis be continued, and that we extend to
him our sympathy and whatever financial
aid We have at our command, and also
Resolved, That committee of three, to
be called COMMITTEE of Missions" be ap-
pointed to carry out the above purpose; that

CONVENTION WEEK IN MINNESOTA.

Last week was Convention week in
Minnesota. The annual meetings of
the State Sunday-school Convention
and the State Convention were held in
the little city of Owatonna, where our
parish has for the past year been under
the charge of Rev. Mr.. Andrew, licensed
one year ago by the Iowa Convention
and shortly afterward settled over the
Universalist society in o watonna.
4 X
The Owatonna parish is one of the
Oldest in the State and has had varying
fortunes. Three years ago services
were suspended, the church needing
extensive repairs. About a twelve
month ago the good women Of the par
ish came to the front and secured the
funds necessary for those repairs;
the young people interested themselves
in the movement, raising nearly all the
money to re-carpet the church. Mr..
Andrew was called to the passionate
and entered vigorously on his work;
and now a complete revival of interest
and regular services on Sunday is the
result. The parish is united and active,
and most hopeful spirit prevails.
The meetings of the Conventions were
every way successful, and larger re-
presentation than usual both of dele
gates and visitors were presen at the
three days services.
All agreed that the Convention was
one of the best ever held in the State.
The spirit was excellent throughout.
The addresses were practical and help
full, the discussions earnest and the
religious services devotional and uplift-
ing. We give in the following columns
a condensed record Of the proceedings
"a record which might easily be
extended and commend it to the at
tention Of the friends Of our church in
Minnesota as an evidence Of the new
and hopeful spirit which now prevails
in the denominational work in that
State.

Tho Horse CarH of Ru.sin.

At Moscow and St. Petersburg tn
street cars are similarly Constructed To
those in Paris, but are a little larger.
They are almost as long as the passenger
coach on a steam road-have double
decks, or two stories, and accommodate
over sixty passengers without crowding.
A stairway winds up at the rear Of the
cars leading 10 the long seats above, over
which is a wooden roof or canopy, and
the passengers have the privilege of a
seat in the breeze above or in the in
closure below, the latter being like the
Interior OF American street cars. Eight
horses are used when there is snow on
the ground, four of them being hitched
abreast. In the summer four horses, two
abreast, do the pulling. Three mon run
the cara conductor, a driver and a man
who rides the off horse hitched In the
rear. The driver rings q bell continu.
ously, and when any one attempts TO
cross the track in Gloss proximity he
rings moro vigorously and rails in several
languages. The fare is usually twenty
kopecks, which is about ten cents. The
street cars in Russia are not old institu.
tons and are not very literally patronizcd.
