would read up and study the social and
industrial questions of the day. and the
local unions have special meetings, say
once month, for the investigation and
discussion of these subjects. Present
papers, review latest books, and best Of
all demonstrate the utility OF various
theories by actual effort to relieve dis

would like to have our Unions make
these proposed meetings broad in their
spirit. inviting the public to take part.

We must take up vigorously the in

NEBRASKA.
Miss Kittie Holmes. Of Tecumseh, Ne.
braska has accepted the Presidency of
the State to work for the organization
OF the Universalist women into mission
circles. The scattered women workers
who lose the faith are through CORES
pondence ard distribution of literature,
brought into sympathetic touch.
Miss Holmes is good daughter who
has inherited her zeal from a consecrat
ed mother gone to her rest. We hope
the Nebraska sisters will make them
selves known to her, and she will then
know what to do. These women can
make mission circle.
Miss Holiness profession is teaching,
and she has planned to get this work
we'll in hand during vacation. Don't

/ wish the reader could peruse the
very kind and appreciative editorial in
the Christian Register on the great
Christian Endeayor movement, with
special reference to the spiritual lesson
Of their recent Boston Convention.
The editor takes pains to point out the
three cardinal features of the movement
(which is insisted upon" and without
which, it has been demonstrated, Chris
tian Endeavor societies have been short
lived. viz: 1.-The taking of the pledge to
be loyal to Christ and his church. the
conservation meeting. and a system Of
committees by which its practical SER
vice for Christ is performed"
These three features are the the same
as are fundamental in our Young Peo-
Pies Christian Union. To these prin-
ciples. l think. may be attributed the
splendid growth of our Y. P. @. U. up
to the present time, and it will continue
to gather force and volume in so far as
these fundamentals are adhered to in
every local Union. 1t has been my ex-
perience, that young people who are not
sufficiently interested or reverent, to
eonsecrate themselves to the Y. 2. @. u.
by the pledge of active membership are
likely to be of little use TO the organiza-
ton. hope our Unitarian as we'll as
Uniyersalist young people. will profit by
the Christian Endeavor idea. when they
organize, and SO lay the foundations of
success and Christian victory.

REV. A. c. BRADLEY AND THE PACIFIC
COAST MISSION.
The Pacific coast mission work was
begun promptly by Rev. A. G. Bradley
the missionary, on July l. He began in
Oakland. During the first two weeks he
visited and held meetings in San Fran
cisco, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Loquord
and Waterville. Cal. He has in that
time made 80 personal visits, held several
devotional meetings and preached SER
mons and made himself generally &C.
quainted with the details of the work
proposed. He hopes soon to be able to
report Mission Circles in San Francisco
and other points where initial steps have
been taken to that end, in connection
with his other work.
THE PACIFIC COAST MISSIONARIES SAL
AIRY.
The first quarters salary will be due
October l. Therefore, we trust all who
have given pledges to that end will send
in the first quarters installment at once
that we may literally fulfil the scriptures
and lowe no man anything"
There are those who have longed for
the establishment of this Western Mis-
sion work. who have not yet sent in their
contributions nor made pledges. whom
we hope to hear from. Send all such
contributions or checks to the CORE
spending secretary of the National As
sociation. We want eight hundred dol
lars more than have been subscribed for
this special mission. Home mission
work that will repay hundred fold for
the outlay.
Our President. Mrs. @. A. Quinby sup
piled the pulpit in Rumford Falls parish
recently, and organized a promising
Mission Circle.
She organized another in Deerfeld,
Rev. 7. B. Payne. the pastor, being a
warm friend of the Mission Circle, be,
lieves it to be just the society to foster
spiritual life.
Arrangements have been made at Lis
bon Falls. Bowdoinham. Bangor, Bath
and Belfast to organize Mission Circles
Immediately after the summer vacation
closes. Mrs. Quinby expects to assist at
several Of these places.
There are 80 many seaside resorts on
the coast Of Maine the temptation is ir-
resistible. Many of the pastors are away
for a month or two and churches closed
for the time. But at the seashore the
custom is reversed.
The pastors here had their vacation
in June. and they are in their pulpits
when towns are full Of visitors. Bethel
is one # these resorts" where Mrs.
Quinby expects to organize a circle
about the middle of August. A Mission
Circle was organized in Richmond July
20. and in the Lisbon Falls parish few
days before.

MlSSOURI.-Rev. @. L. Ball, who ac-
copied call to the parish at Junction
City, Kansas, the first of the month. was
with US year. He left his pleasant
home at Enfield, N. H., in the hope that
the climate of Missouri would prove
beneficial to his health, and was induced
to go to Kansas by the belief that a
more western climate would benefit it
still more, as the improvement here was
not what he had hoped for.
While in Missouri, Bro. Ball had
charge of the La Plata, La Crosse, Muir
ry and Elmer churches, conducting SER
vices every fifth Sunday at Linderville,
also week day night meetings at Atlanta
and other points.
The rounds he made and the work he
did would have taxed the strength and
mind of stronger and an older man,
but his love for the Christ in whose
cause he was working, and his earnest
determination to spread the blessed gos-
pei upheld him at all times.
The last few months of his stay in
Missouri were spent here at La Crosse,
where he and his estimable wife were
beloved by all.
The young people especially always
found in him friend, and counsellor,
and sympathetic co-worker.
Rev. M. G. Linton now has charge of
the La Crosse. Murray and Elmer
churches. A young man both in years
and experience. Bro. Linton has that rare
intelligence and unquestionable ability,
which cannot fail to win for him sue
cessful future.

CoLUMBUs.-This parish always does
we'll but just now things seem to be in
most excellent condition. The Y. P. 9.
U. is most effective help. and carry
things with a fine enthusiasm. The
pastor Rev. W. S. Ralph, is to take
short vacation, then will Legin the fall
work with new life.
SToUGHToN.-This parish is triumph
of faith. They thought for while that
death was near but if any one should
suggest death now he would be laughed
to scorn. 1t is one of the liveliest parish
es in the State and hope runs high.
Last Sunday they extended unanim-
GUS call to their present pastor, Rev. W.
/ A. Render, to remain another year. The
| Sunday school was in debt but now has
paid the last cent and is looking to
new improvements. The library is to
be enlarged. Last week they had a
Sunday school picnic and had over 200
| in attendance.

noise from this little parish but good
and abiding work is being done here.
When the present passionate ends, which
we trust will not be for many years, we
do not expect to have the church shut
up for a while. The present work is
constructive. New members are joining
the church constantly. They lately have
come into gift of $1,000 from the will
of an old member, the interest alone to
be used to carry on the work. il the
work should cease the money comes to
the State Convention.
RAcINE.-Last Sunday was Sweet Pea
Sunday and great day it was. Sixty
or more bouquets adorned the church
and on Monday morning they were sent
to the Flower mission in Chicago. They
Fl lied four half busbel baskets. The
church was crowded both morning and
evening. In the Sunday school we had
special services. The children all had
bouquets of Sweet Peas and in their turn
they came forward and deposited them
on the table and read some selection ap.
propriate to the occasion. These quota.
tions were also to go with the flowers.
We suggest that other of our churches
should try this plan. The Express
Companies will carry the flowers free.
Our church will have vacation dur
ing the month Of August. But the
Sunday school. the Y. P. @. u, and the
Conference and teachers meetings will
continue as usual The Sunday school
had picnic last Tuesday and it was a
grand success. Next Sunday evening
the pastor is to fill the pulpit Of the End
M. E. church by kind invitation. He
hopes soon to make missionary trip.
| MONROE Nothing but encourage
ment comes from this parish, and what
was year ago dead parish today has
the largest congregations Of any church
in the State.
The people Of the church rendered the
pastor and his new wife reception on
the evening of the Oath Of July. The
vestry was prettily decorated, and re-
freshments we're served. There were
two or three hundred to greet them,
and they came from the Christian,
Methodist, Catholic and Episcopal
churches as we'll as our own. The people
are highly pleased with Mrs. Varney. l
know that she will add greatly to the
working force of the church. The re-
pairs go on nicely. l expect in week
or 30 they will have to hold few services
in the basement or rather vestry, and as
it is the result Of the process to better
things all can stand it. A. G. C.

UNCLE NED IN HOG.
The Zulu Warrior Is Defeated by an
 Irishman.

Ned Wesley imbibed too much Ari- zona knockout drops last Sunday and imagined himself leading a band of lighting Zulus in consequence. He executed war dance on Railroad avenue about 2 p. m., and offered to fight anything that wore pants, the advanced woman in boomers excepted. At 8 o'clock Ned was still rampant, but an hour later he was quirscent. His downfall was sudden, but com. pletc. The belligerent gentleman of cb bbny complexion ran up against William Me Donald, logger, and is. sued def to all Celts in general and the McDnnalds in particular. A fight ensued. and when the cOmbatants were parted and the dust of battle had cleared Ned was found to resemble a fat man in a dime museum from his chin up. Both lips were swelled to an abnormal size and the flesh under his optics was bulged out about two inches. McDonald's face looked like q piece of beefsteak that had come to its death by & collision with a freight train.
 '.He called me an epithet with the word Irish attached to it." remarked the last mentioned individual to Judge Prime the next morling, ''and 1 had to fight"
 "We dun locked ousels up in room an fit it ont, Jedge." chim,d m Ned, ''an' guess Ise gotten de wust un it. Ise nevah gwine to fight no noah. Ei two genelmen kaint settle iha' diflur. enses no noah even in private, Una laws gettin' too fine foah mr.''
 The court gave Ned $l0 or ten days. and Mcdonald got half that amount. J. W. Burns, lumberman from Vii. Hams. tried io do Mcdonald mp on Saturday night. As result his phys ingnomy is out of repair and he is doing ten days in the county jail. As Mcdonald was not to blape in that pngilistis affair, he was .liseharsed.
