WISCONSIN.-La Crosse.-The So
ciety of Earnest Builders connected with
the La Crosse parish has disbanded after
a very useful career. Their work de-
serves honorable mention. The Society
has been a very efficient auxiliary in
parish and church work and it only re-
linquishes the field now in order to allow
the Y. P. @. U. to continue the good
work. The Earnest Builders put in the
Sunday school annex to the church
building. added afterward the library
room and have helped to place the organ.
The church is now complete in its ap-
pointments and the special work of the
Earnest Builders is accomplished.
The farewell social for the Society was
given last week at the home OF DIR.
Latin, when the record of the Society
was dwelt upon in complimentary terms
by DIR. Latin and the pastor, Rev. G. G.
Conner. The Society has been in exist
ence eight years and has expended 1925
and earned $4,000 which has been de-
voted to st. Paul's church of La Crosse.
Truly good record.

congregations are increasing. Two Of
our ladies recently given a birth day
party. Receipts s50.25. The young
people have recently given play which
was quite successful. The ladies are
hard at work preparing for their mid

The members sang and prayed and
read Scripture and spoke as they are

real feeling of thankfulness that pervad-

for the poor of our little city. Then
just as the sun was peeping over the
eastern hills we sang The morning
light is breaking and closed with the
Y. p. @. U. benediction. Some hot COT

NOTES FROM LANSING.

Rev. Charles Legal has been giving
a series of Sunday evening sermons on
doctrinal subjects which have received
considerable attention. At some of the
services the attendance has been so
large that it was necessary to bring in
chairs.
Memorial services Tor son of Rev. Mr..
Dickerman, the former pastor, whose de-
cease is recorded elsewhere, were held
in the church Sunday evening Dec. l.
Christian Union is no longer hope
but reality in Lansing. The most
fraternal spirit exists among the differ
emit churches. We have Pastors So
cial Union and Federation of Churches
for municipal and moral reforms, in
which all the pastors unite.
The annual union Thanksgiving SER
vice was held this year in the Central
M. E. church 10 the evening and the SER
mon was by the pastor of the Universal
list church. Rev. Charles Legal. The
Journal in it's report remarked that
the discourse was eloquent and able
The speaker began by showing how
Thanksgiving Day was indigenous to
America and of it's relation to the other
great holidays. He called attention to
the antiquity of the custom of setting
aside one day in the year as time for
giving thanks. The custom Of the an
cient Hebrews, who celebrated annually
their liberation from Egyptian bondage
by feasting and prayer. was mentioned
Gratitude" said Mr.. Legal, lis the
basis Of thanksgiving. But what is the
basis of gratitude? 1t must have a firm
and enduring foundation. 1t must rest
in the hearts of every human being. 1t
must never crumble or change. 1t is
a foundation not of material, but of
spiritual construction. II the material
is the basis of gratitude then only very
small portion of the people of this great
nation have anything for which they
can be very thankful"
The congregation was one Of the
largest ever assembled in Lansing and
the innovation Of holding the union
Thanksgiving services in the evening
proved succ ssful beyond all expecta-
tons.

meetings will be held in our churches
during the present season. especially in
those which have only monthly or semi
monthly visits from their pastors. A
series of we'll conducted meetings will
not fail to arouse larger interest in the
membership. and will often result in
making valuable additions. We hope to
be able to report many such meetings
and to chronicle numerous accessions to
church membership.

Church of the Redeemer.-Rev. Ell

Young Peoples Christian Union, adj
dressed the Unioners of the congrega-
tion of the Church of the Redeemer and
visiting members last Sunday evening.
The services we're held in the main
auditorium and the address was helpful
and inspiring as it outlined the work OF
of the Union and exhorted to action IN
the service of the church. The weather
in the evening was not propitious, or
much larger audience of young people
would have greeted the National Presl-
dent, 1t was, however. pleasant occa-
sion and the young people were glad to
greet their President and listen to his
message.
Urbana and Rev. L. J. Dinsmore.-
BY slip of the pen in our last issue we
placed Rev. L. J. Dinsmore at Decatur
on an engagement with the parish for
six months. He has accepted an en-

OUR IOWA BUDGET.

We are always glad to get good news
from the more remote parts of our State.
Lately we get some encouraging word
from the southwest. At
vILISCA
where we have promising and ener
getic society. Rev. w. Franklin Smith
lately preached few times in the Opera
House. Audiences increased, and the
fri. nds were so we'll pleased that at a
parish meeting Bro. Smith was invited
to become their pastor for so much of
his time as they could pay for. The in
vitation was accepted on condition that
some other near by place might be Sc
cured to cooperate with Villisca. posi-
bly, REQ Oak. We hope and trust such
an arrangement can be made. that Bro.
Smith and his talented wife may be a
power for good in Iowa Universalism.
Here we see the need of an active. devout
and wise State Missionary and Superin
tendent to act in such cases that people
and pastor may be brought together and
work go on for permanent results.
