we'll filed with an appreciative audi
ence and the interest was marked
during the entire service.
Rev. T. B. T. Fisher, of Hoopeston,
read the Scripture lesson from Rev.
xxi and offered prayer. Then after the
hymn, "More Love o Christ, to Thee"
DR.. Stocking made an earnest plea
for the Women's Association, stating
the grand work they were doing, and
the churches they are helping all
over the State; their work cannot be
measured; they are the working mis-
sionary body of the State. Then he
asked for a liberal response from the
audience. A canvass would be made
and all were asked to become life
members by the payment of $500,
or yearly members on payment of a
dollar, or to give what they could.
Mrs. Kate Hughes. of Table Grove,
Mrs. D. W Richardson, Mrs. Sears
and Miss Belle Gibson, of Chicago,
took the collection and retired to
count the money.

vention would not recede an inch.
Mr.. White, it was remarked, can re-
sign to the Executive Board, who are
authorized to fill all vacancies. The
Convention adhered to the report of
its Committee, the Secretary cast the
ballot and all the officers declared
elected. The episode was amusing
and relieved the Convention from the
strain it had undergone on account
of the L ombard incident.
The Fellowship Committee reco-
mended that the parish organized at
Nationwide be admitted to the fell
lowship of the Convention.
The Convention then adjourned
for supper, which was served in the
dining-room of the church.

the world in which we are placed. The
preacher must make the age know that
it is God who is back of all this and ia
the power which moves all. Then will
the number of inventions be understood
as giving man opportunity to develop
his higher nature. Then will men know
that in place of it being necessary to
change the environment of the world
that the kingdom of God may come, that
the kingdom of God is come already:
then will man know that he is now
child of God and cease to doubt if he
has soul or is soul; then will the
socialist, insted of seeking to change the
condition of men first, know that Seek
ye first the kingdom of God and all these
things shall be added unto you.'"

TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
THE WOMEN MEET.

The WOMEN MEEI
The business meeting of the Uni
versalist Women's Association was
called to order at 2 o'clock by the
president, Mrs. o. w. Nash, who
made few explanatory remarks re-
garding the change in the time of the
meeting, after which Rev. Margaret
Olmstead led in prayer, pleading for
unity of purpose and endeavor that
Gods will might be fulfilled in all
hearts. Miss Belle Gibson, Secre-
tary, read the report of the May meet
ing.
The report of the Nominating Com
mittee was then read and Mrs. 0. W.
Nash was named for President; Vice
President, Mrs. D. w. Richardson;
Treasurer, Mrs. F. A. Winkelman;
Secretary, Miss Belle Gibson, these
being the present officers, honored
with reelection. The directors are
Mrs. M. R. M. Wallace, Mrs. G.. B.
Marsh, Mrs. A. M. H. Ellis and Mrs.
f. A. Winkelman and Mrs. j. X.
Mitchell, all of Chicago except Mrs.
Mitchell. Then the proceedings of
the State Convention were resumed,
President Winkelman in the chair.
The first business was the reading
of the annual report of the Women's
Association, whose proceedings are
noted above, this organization being
auxiliary to the State Convention.
This report was read by Mrs. Nash.
1t reviewed the work of the year, and
proposed the appointment of State
Missionary, the Women's Association
to pay one-third of the salary, pro-
vided that it does not exceed SIS per
month for twelve months.
The report was accepted and re-
ferred to the committee ON business.
THE wOMEN's LEAGUE.
Mrs. A. M. H. Ellis then spoke on
the proposed Women's League of the
Universalist Women's Association. 1t
is proposed to form a league of all
the churches of Chicago and vicin-
ity, extending to Elgin. To have
leagues formed throughout the State
and have one program for all the
leagues to be carried out on the same
day in all bodies, thus virtually
comprising one league throughout
the State. Thus there would be three
meetings, once in two months. Any
seven members of any Associa-
ton can form a league, which when
formed will meet on stated days and
discuss stated subjects. The propo-
sition is the same that was so favor
ably received at the May Meeting.
Mrs. Ellis urged it with cogency and
force.
The matter of employing a mis-
sionary was then discussed.
Rev. j. S. Cook considered the
missionary question the most import
ant one to come before the Conven-
ton. The matter after some discus
sion was deferred till the Missionary
meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Prof. j. G. Lee on behalf of the
faculty of Lombard University, pre-
sented an invitation to the Conven-
ton to attend the University at their
convenience. The invitation was &C
cepted and placed on file.
COMMITTEE ON NOMINATION..
The Committee ON Nominations
was named: j. V. n. Standish, Mrs.
Wallace, of Chicago; j. S. Cook, of
LIE Roy.
Auditing Committee: I. j. Hale,
B. f. Monroe, Mrs. A. NJ. II. Ellis.
The Convention then adjourned

On motion of Rev. j. S. Cook, of
LIE Roy, the reports were adopted.
Mr.. Hale moved vote of thanks to
Mr.. Massey for his faithful service.
This was amended by DR.. Cantwell,
adding, land for his careful custody
of the funds of the Convention dur
ing eighteen years" This was unani-
mously carried.
EXECUTIVE REPORT.
Copious extracts from this report
will appear hereafter. We may say
here that it was an important docu-
ment and contained matter of inter-
est to every one in sympathy with
the Universalist faith and work. 1t
showed that eight parishes have been
aided; State Missionary or Superin-
tendent has been kept in the field
three months, doing very much good
to weak parishes; aid had been given
to E. M. Stengeland, who had been
doing missionary work among the
Scandinavians in the northwest part
of Chicago, and whose work was of a
character to deserve and to receive
support.
The subject of securing singing
evangelist suggested at the last Con
vention was considered, but not
enough parishes expressed desire
for such services to warrant the Com
mittee in taking the action.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
1t was recommended by the
Business Committee to place an
agent in the field to solicit subscrip-
tions to the Permanent Fund on a
commission of 10 per cent. The mat
ter of State Missionary and Financial
Agent were the points in the report
suggested by the Business Commit
tee, G. M. Babbitt, Chairman, as
needing attention of the Convention.
The recommendation was further
made that the General Convention be
requested to assist in maintaining a
pastor at Urbana, as that is an import
ant post and should be held. Messrs.
Yates and Buckner, former pastors,
spoke to this, as also did DR.. Can't
we'll and Rev. j. S. Cook. On motion
of Mr.. Johonnnot a resolution of
sympathy was extended to Urbana,
and the matter was referred to the
Executive Board with instructions to
correspond with the General Conven-
ton regarding the amount of aid that
can be given in the settlement of a
pastor.
On motion the consideration of the
report was made special order for
2 o'clock P. NJ.
Adjourned for dinner, which was
elegantly served by the ladies of the
Galesburg parish, in the large and
commodious vestry.

St9ddard on India,

The fourth lecture of the very popu-. lar Stoddard course at the Hyperion will take place next Thursday evening. It will give him opportunity to tell of
 his travels in India which were among the most important and delightful ex- periences of MT. Stoddard's memorable journey around the world. This jour ney was undertaken principally for what it would yield in the way of in- 1 formation about and adventures in h.
 dia and Japan, and it was eminently successful. Cities like Delhi and Agra, i proved to possess architectural remains of incredible grandeur and miles of ru- ins telling of the former glory of the mogul potentates. A visit to the town
 of Cawnpore revived the pathetic mem l ories connected with the massacre of the British soldiers and their wives and children, which filled the world with horror in 1857. Another place, of wide, ly different interest, however, is the beautiful modern city of Bombay, a
 monument of British thrift and enter prise. The illustrations, as might be
 expected, are novel and beautiful but their crowning glory is
 in their revelations of the finest and
 grandest mountain scenery possible to
 realize-that of the ineffable Himalay- as

HHo As FIRST DEPosTToR
Question as to Whom Belongs the Honor of Making First Deposit in the New First National ss.s nIr

Several persons were waiting in the vestibule of the new First Nationa, bank at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, when the doors were opened for the first time for business, and all were ai1xions to make the first deposit. The first in line was Daniel T. Sullivan the eleyen-year-old son of Thomas H. Sul- livan, who had $560 to deposit. Close behind the boy was R. U. Rosenthal, and as the boy stepped to the window of Teller, F. l.. Trowbridge to make his deposit MT Rosenthal handed his cash to Assistant Teller Frank A. Bunnel. so that the honor of making the first de- posit lies between the two, with the evidence in favor of young MT. Sulli- van.
 Mrs. Minot F. Chatfield was the first person to draW out money.
 The bank officers and clerks are much pleased with their new quarters, the light especially being a great i'm proyement over the old bank on Orange street.

 The Coming Series of Meetings to be Com
 ducted by MT. Mills, the Famous Evan
 geliSt.
 Inasmuch as MT. Mills, the famous evangelist, and his assistants, are to be in. New Haven for a series of meetings commencing January 6, it will not be amiss to quote an editorial which re- gently appeared in the Columbus Even- ing Dispatch and briefly describes the man and his teachings, as follows; "The world needs more of the kind of religion that is preached by the Rev. B. Fay Mills. He teaches people to be good because it is right. The virtue land morality that is practiced solely because of the fear of the consequences of. Wrong-doing does not enter into his teaching. He believes that the sum
 total of the goodness and the happi- ness of mankind is simply the aggre- gate of the goodness and the happiness of the individual, and he ilnpresses upon his listeners the personal respon- sibility of each in elevating the standard of his fellows. MT. Mills is not an exhorter in the common acceptance of
 that form, in which he differs from
 many eVangelists of these and other days. His sermons are essentially ap- peals to the reason, as distinguished from those exhortations which seek to sway mems minds by exciting their emotions. Thus the impressions he cre- ates are more likely to be lasting and productive of permanent reform, MT. Mills is not an eloquent man as 1 eloquence goes in these days of trained I pulpit orators but he has marked per l sonal magnetism, is earnest and hon. | est, and has the persuasive powers of one who is unselfishly devoted to his i work. Creeds do not concern the sys- | tenn of morality he teaches for his religion. like that of Jesus Christ, is l comprehended in the injunction of DO | good worship God, and love your fellow men,
 The secret of MT. Mills success is to l be found in a power above and be- I gond himself, but there are not a few who will ascribe some of the potency of his influence to the fact that his personality and methods are altogether l Different from those Of the average ! evangelist. His words are those of the l good old AnglorSaxon, that are easily understood even by the child, but they | are used ito express the beautiful sen 1 timents of the goodness and Godliness which contemplate an ultimate brother l hood of man.
 $ Essential truth and virtue are com- 1 monaattributes of intelligence and
 reason. They may be, and too often
 are perverted, but they are never l wholly lost nor changed. It is to this l universal appreciation of goodness
 which is inherent in mankind, that MT. 1 Mills appeals, and through it he teaches 1 the beauty of a clean heart and a pure rnind'
 1 This Statement would seem to con- l tain good reasons for wonderful suc- cess which followed his%abors in Louis vile recently, where over one thousand
 people were added to the membership l of the churches and the work is still | going on. The same sort of a report is I contained in the recent Columbus pa pers, which are unanimous in their praise of the work done and also con- l stamtly speak with a tone of wonder ment that such great crowds are in l constant attendance.
