The Rev. DR.. E. p Parker of Hartford re-
lates a hitherto unpublished incident OF
the organization Of the Hartford Young

ago The conservatives wanted to keep ont
EnversalstS and Unitarians. This course
was distasteful to Dr. Parker and few
other liberals, who proposed as compro-
mis-, that the Apostles creed be taken as

proposal" says Dr. Parker, was m@de and
accepted in a room in the City hotel, and

not likely to forget the scene or its Incl

cost represented one party.
when they were told that for the sake OF
peace the insertion of the Apostles creed
as a condition of active membership would
be conceded, Mr. Moody, with refreshing
frankness, confessed his entire ignorance OF
that symbol. 'Pentecost, said he, what Is
the Apostles creed anyway? ldon't knowl

A. European Utopia.

The theories of certain social reformers
are to be seen in actual working in the lit
tie community of Klingenberg -on-tbe- Main
in Germany In the neighborhood OF this
town are valuable pits of flreproof clay,
which the authorities in days gone by were
farsighted enough to retain as public prop.
erty instead of allowing them to be owned
by individuals. They are worked by the
municipality for the public, benefit. The
result is that Klingenberg is one of the hap
piest places in Europe. Not only do The
profits on the clay suffice to cover all loca
and imperial taxation, but there is a con
siderable surplus, the bulk of which is di
vided among the inhabitants. In addition

lepe is the loss of woman whose supe-
rior mentality bore strong influence
Al ION the higher education Of the period
Miss Shafer was of sterling New Jersey
parentage, was reared in Oberlin, Ohio,
and graduated from Oberiin College.
Her first school work was done in New
Jersey and st. Louis, and her career as
an educator proved exceptionally bril-
liant, her eminent attachments making
her an arc-light III the world OF learn
inc. For seventeen years Miss Shafer
WAS associated with Wellesley College,
oceupying the chair of mathematics
until 1887, when, upon the resignation
of Alice T.. Freeman, she was chosen
president of the institution, which po-
sition she has filled with distinguished
ability.
Miss Shafer was woman of stately
appearance, gracious manners and
heart of broad, sweet kindness thai
well matched her noble head. In the
demise of this very gifted and lovablt
educator, Miss Frances Ellen Lord has
been temporarily called to, the chair
