CHIGAGO.-The st. Macriua's Of St.
Paurs Church gave supper on Friday
evening. December 7, which was excel
lent in quality and every way successful.
It was also made the occasion for a So
cial gathering of larger proportions than
usually convenes in st. Paul's church.
There was also sale of fancy articles
and the tables we're we'll patronized on
account of the moderate prices which
we're asked for the various articles. st.
Macrina Society is composed OF the
younger ladies of st. Pauls Church
working in connection with the old es-
tablished Ladies' Aid Society. They
are efficient helpers in the good work.
The supper and sale realized, above ex-
penses. about S125, which was fully up
to the expectation of the ladies.
ILLINOIS, McFienry.-The ladies OF
the Willing Workers society held their
annual Bazaar in the City Hall on Friday
evening Dec. 7. 1t was largely patron
lied. In connection with the Bazaar they
served supper in the basement below
which was bountiful and drew the high
est compliments. In addition they had
arranged with the choir's male quartette
and the Misses Stevens and Smith for
short program of music and recitation
which added much to the entertainment
The young ladies of Miss Ovens class
contributed lovely booth that brought
in over thirty dollars. The whole added
to the ladies' treasury the handsome sum
of S114, for the evening.

work of the Y. P. G. U. deserves special
mention. Their Sunday evening meet
ings are largely attended and the hour
devoted to the service is profitablv occu-
pied.
Since the meeting of the State Con-
vention with the parish, in July, the
young people have employed Mrs. Ralph
to preach on every alternate Sunday
morning; and all expenses of her salary
and incidentals have been promptly met
by them.
For several months they have also
conducted a successful sewing school
which has SO far outgrown expectations
that they have asked and received per-
mission to hold it in the High School
building. 1t numbers seventy pupils.
They have besides put two coats of
fresh paint on the outside of the church
building at cost of 800. and the bill is
paid from money raised by their own
efforts. Monthly socials are held regu-
larly and are we'll attended.
The socials given by the ladies of the
parish once a month, alternately with
those of the young people, have been
largely attended of late. At the one at
the "Manse," given by Mrs. Ralph on
Thursday evening the 7th, over eighty
people sat at the tables.
Union Thanksgiving services have
been held for years in the city, and for
the second time Rev. Mr.. Ralph was to
have preached the sermon in the Con-
gregational church; but being called to
Augusta to attend the wedding of two OF
his young friends, Mrs. Ralph substi-
tuted for him, This call to Augusta
was also the occasion of an exchange of
pulpits between Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph on
the Sunday previous. The former found
nearly all the old friends present at the
services and faithful, but number of
new faces also appeared, the owners of
which we're introduced as members Of
the little flock. Mrs. Ralph's pastorate
in this little church has borne good
fruit, as amply testified to by the peo-
pie; and they are anxiously looking for
ward to the time when they shall have
a modest church home on the five lots
which they have purchased and paid
for.
Mrs. Ralph has also been holding reg
ular services all summer one Sunday in
the month at Tryocena and never fails
of large audience,

wife were entertaining some callers
when the house was stormed by about
fifty people, who one and all greeted the

the assembly to the fact that he was
going to make speech, and in few

The second Saturday evening there
was platform meeting, the subject be5
ing, What Constitutes the True Re
ligious Revival" There were four
speakers, and each, in the following
order, occupied about twenty minutes:
w. W. Merritt, of Red Oak, Mrs. Porter,
Mr.. Reyes and Mr.. Porter. Solos were
interspersed by Bro. Reyes. This SER
vice was greatly appreciated and proved
very helpful to all who were present.
The second Sunday, November IS. the
services we're conducted by the same
clergymen.
The third week the preaching was
again by Bros. Porter and Keyes. The
third and last Sunday, November %.
Bro. Porter and Bro. Reyes officiated.
During the meetings ten members
were received into the church, and the
rite of baptism was administered to
eight. The meetings grew in interest
and attendance from the beginning to
the close and it is believed that under
the wise management of Bro. and Sister
Porter we will go on from victory unto
victory.
The faithful and greatly helpful SER
vices of Bro. Keyes in these meetings
are deeply appreciated by both the pas
tor and his people. He is an able and
forceful preacher and stands unexcelled
as singer in our ministry of the West.
His solos with piano accompaniment by
Miss Minnie Brown, we're an especial
feature of the meetings. He always
reaches and moves the hearts of his
people as he pours out his soul in sacred
song.
UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
For the first time in years the Uni
versalists of Clarinda we're invited to
join in the Union Thanksgiving service
at the Baptist church. Bro. Porter and
Bro. Reyes were both invited into the
pulpit where sat Baptist, Christian.
Methodist, Presbyterian and United
Presbyterian ministers. The sermon
was by the Presbyterian minister and
the closing prayer and benediction was
by our Universalist minister, Rev. L.
F. Porter, and the hearty "amens' by
all the preachers seemed an unmistaka-
BILE harbinger of growing spirit of
Christian recognition and cooperation.
1t is to be hoped that this unity Of
spirit may continue.

OHIO NEWS LETTER.
AGENT FOR BUCHTEL COLLEGE.


Rev. E. W. Preble, of Webster, Mass,
after successful pastorate of eight
years in that place, has resigned to &C
cept the financial agency of Buchtel
College. We have always believed that
a minister, possessing fair business abil-
ity, is better fitted for such a position
than layman, as he can hold services
in the various churches, and thus con-
tribute to the intellectual and spiritual
welfare of the communities he may visit,
and also more closely ally our College
with the denomination that established
it. Mr.. Preble will encounter some diff
ficulty arising from lack of acquaintance
with our ministers and the people in the
territory belonging to the College; there
fore we bespeak for him the cordial help
of all friends of the institution in assist
ing to rapidly overcome this obstacle, so
that he may accomplish the objects for
which he has been employed. Buchtel
College is the child of the Ohio Univer-
salist Convention, and therefore deserves
the hearty support of every Universalist
minister and layman.
PRINCETON.
Rev. R. N. John, as Missionary of Bal
lou Association, visited Princeton. No
vember %, and preached morning and
evening to large and attentive congre-
cations. He sold ten books; gave away
fifty tracts, and as many copies of
THE UNIvERsALIsT, and visited eleven
families. He was invited to return there
soon, and preach there and at Buford.
In order to revive this church faithful
effort will be required. There have been
no regular services held for seven years.
and no Sunday-school maintained since
the war. The consequence is that the
youth of that community have been
drawn into the Partialist churches,
leaving the old believers as foundation
for revival. Still we have known
places that were seemingly in worse con-
dition, brought up into good working
condition, and we are certain that Bro.
John will not abandon the field until he
is satisfied there is no possibility of res
direction.

The last new society play is filed

son in London. This last expression,
believe, the French in real life seldom
make, though they may talk about it..
In Dumas play, LIE Fills Naturel, .
that ran most of the winter at the
Odeon, a character is made to say: l
am afraid my daughter, that you are
reading something forbidden; show it

see it?' On this the father in re-
lieved tone says: ooh, no; if it is in
English, it is all right. You may con-

The toilet table of the day like most
else in furniture, dress and decoration
is cut according to prevailing French
ideas.
The most approved style is the low
highly polished, ornamented with Mar
queterie, table, that requires one to be
seated before it, in order to get a
glimpse into its mirror.
True, it lacks one luxury that most
women enjoy-a multitude of drawers
but the woman who is so luxurious as
to own French dresser, has usually
many closets and wardrobes.
Again, the mirror is quite small; but
swinging cheval glass goes as an
accessory.
The best of these French tables come
for $3.50 and few are less than 500.
These are built of mahogany with rich
elaborate inlays, or else of highly
polished metal used for this purpose,
ornamented with silver. good specl-

year ago an epidemic of blue UNI

Never had so many umbrellas of pre-
cisely the same appearance been seen
and q great deal of hard feeling has
been displayed in public conVeyanceS
by women carrying umbrellas SO iden-
teal in every particular that the max
er could not have distinguished be-
tween them. These same blue umbrel
las have worn remarkably well and are
still carried by many, but the new
ones are so much prettier it Will not
be long before they disappear. The
newest ones are bright red with nat
uTal wood handle or with silver top at
the end of the handle on which the
monogram is engraved. It has taken
women a long time TO realize the adVis-
ability OF dressing IN becoming way
on rainy days, but they have awakened
to the fact Of the Importance of so
doing and these red umbrellas cast a
very becoming shade over any com
plexion and are really very enlivening
among the hosts of black, brown and
dun colored ones.
The parasols are marVels of beauty
and taste. Expensive, yes very, but
there are all kinds and descriptions
and even the cheap ones are dainty
and pretty enough for anyone to carry.
The novelty parasols are of course the
most expensive and handsOmest. A

with white enameled handle and stick
is a very desirable thing to possess.
