trust we shall have no occasion to re-
fer to this matter in the future.

Mr.. Cardall has expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the ear
nestness and devotion shown and the
work done by his people, also Of their
reception Of his labors during this his
second season. 1t is his desire to
meet the many friends at the above
service.
The results of the meetings of the
Universalists is the elimination of a
parish of that faith which Mr.. Cardall
has lately organized. With the APP
parent earnestness with which those
of the liberal faith have taken up the
work the indications are for live and
a successful society. This is well for

under whatever name which has the
power to feed any of the hungry souls,
is welcomed in our midst. May God
speed the work.
The officers of the parish are d.
W. Marden, Moderator; w. O.
Childs, Clerk; Mrs. DR.. Arnold,
Treasurer; F. W. Coleman and Mrs.
f. Howard, standing committee.
