PENNSYLVANIA. = Conneautville
and Girard. Rev. II. B. Taylor has
commenced his second year with the
Girard and Conneautville churches.
Church work along all lines is progress
ing in both parishes. The Conneaut-
vile church held its eleventh annual
fair in the opera house, Thanksgiving
week, and like previous ones, was sue
cess, both socially and financially. AL
though an affair of that kind represents
much care and labor, yet our very eff
Gent President and executive commit
tees arranged every thing 80 nicely that
none felt burdened. Our bazaar commit
tee, who has served so faithfully for
many years, filled their tables with arti-
cles both useful and ornamental, and all
found ready sale. The young people
having in charge pop corn, candy and
grab-b bag booths, worked with enthusi-
asm, and we're rewarded by disposing of
their entire stock.
Our old untiring Entertainment Com.
mittee, Mrs. Harry Moulthrop, and the
Misses Robinson, assisted by our pastor,
gave new and fine program each even
ing, and judging from the applause,
pleasing to all. We were favored with
fine weather most of the week and alto
gether the fair was very enjoyable oc-
casion, besides putting $3.50 into the
treasury.
LinesvilIe Our Linesville friends are
holding their annual fair this week. Rev.
Mr.. Washburn is still preaching at that
place and Sharpsville, giving half of the
time to each parish.
Erie.-We are rejoiced to receive en-
couraging reports from the Erie church.
Their difficulties have been arranged
satisfactorily and they expect to resume
business soon with new pastor.

MISSOURI Atlanta. - Rev. John
Hughes closed week meetings here
December s. A party of La Plata Uni
versalists went down for the Sunday
services and assisted in the music.
Bro. Hughes had held a series of
meetings here in September and created
a wide spread interest. Sunday after
noon he preached strong sermon from
the text Man can not live on bread
alone" and at the close asked those
who believed in the truths of Universal
ism to come forward and be organized
into church.
Five men, all of influence and good
standing in the community, came for
ward and became the charter members
Of the First Universalist of Atlanta.
There are more who are studying our
faith and who will see their way clear to
join soon.
Who does not admire courage? And
the courage of these five men brave
enough to come out and stand for their
faith amid the prejudice and mistaken
conception of Universalism by the ma
jority of the community, is indeed ad-
mirable. May God bless and prosper
them in their work. --- z
They will build church during the
current Convention year. They have
applied for the aid of the church extern
sion fund and will doubtless receive it..
Atlanta is only ten miles from La Plata
and will form part of that circuit.
Bro. Hughes received challenge from
the Christian church while in Atlanta
to debate on proposition affirming that
only the righteous will be saved. This
made Bro. Hughes smile,.. and he re-
turned the answer that our church
affirmed that statement with more en-
phasis than did any other. He sub
mitted proposition upon which he
would debate, which is notianswered as
yet.
Hurdland.-Bro Shinn preached here
on the eve before Thanksgiving to a
surprisingly large congregation. He
asked all interested in building church
to remain after the benediction and
about 80 remained. A subscription for
building fund was started. +. This
growing towo is fifteen miles east of La
Plata and will be worked as occasion
offers. A church within short time is
an assured fact.
Ashley.-The Ashley church is bought
and undergoing repairs. We will soon
be able to change the numeral of our
motto for the past three years. Zone
new church year in Missouri God
speed the work.

OHIO NEWS LETTER.
STRIKER.


We are glad to report that our church
at Stryker continues to be associated
with her sister parish at Bryan, under
the pastoral care of Rev. E. d. Jacobs
and enters another year of work with
quickened and refreshed interest A
correspondent says: MANY good friends
and strong workers moved away from
the parish; but hope has not gone, nei-
ther has she any thought of forsaking
her heritage here. and in her presence
and smile there is comfort and strength.
The painful malady from which our
aged brother Chester Blinn has 80 long
suffered still bears heavily upon him; but
he is still ministered unto by constant
and tireless devotion of wife and
daughter doubly consecrated through
our faith to the ties of our common hu-
mainly"
We sincerely hope that the fidelity of
Bro. Jacobs to the work at Str, ker, and
that OF the true and faithful friends will
be richly rewarded by continual in.

OUR IOWA BUDGET.

1t is not always that churches in large
towns are more active, loyal or useful
than in the village or country neighbor-
hood And so it happens that we can
report our little country church at
0TRANTO
as among the most active in the State,
although having preaching but once a
month. They labor under the disadvan-
tage of having only society organiza-
ton, but we understand the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Everton, very wisely purposes to or
ganize a church, which many wish to
join. A short time ago Rev. Mrs. E. M.
Curtis of Manchester came and organ
lied Y. P. G. U. On the 9th of Decem-
Der it gave an entertainment and made
enough to pay for heating and lighting
the church the Sunday evenings when
preaching services we're not held. They
are to have a Christmas tree, ETC., for
the Sunday school. The Y. P. G. U. is
fortunate in having for its leading spirits
two young women, teachers, and earnest
Christian workers. Miss Debbie Davis,
President, and Miss Helen st. John,
Secretary. We shall hear from this I'm

WISCONSIN. = La Crosse. = The
young people of this parish are quite
generally enlisted in the Young Peoples
Christian Union work At the last bus
mess meeting held in November the an
nual election of officers took place, and
they are planning to do more work and
better work for Christ and the church"
Aside from the devotional meetings,
which are held each Sunday evening
and are quite we'll attended. the commit
tees are doing good work. The Relief
Committee has been doing some chart
table work in connection with the Aeso
ciated Charities. In response to their
call a generous supply of good warm
clothing was furnished by the people
and distributed. They are still in the
attitude of helpfulness to those who
need their assistance. The Flower Mis-
sion is not neglected and these messen-
gers of peace and good will are carried
from the pulpit to the homes where
their beauty and fragrance may speak
of kindly remembrance.
A Junior Union was organized on Oct.
Doth and the little folks are quite enthu-
siastic in the work. The devotional
meetings are we'll attended and interest
ing. You will hear good news from
these young Christian workers.
Rev. @. @. Conner gave the paper be-
fore the Pastors Union Of La Crosse at
a recent meeting, on Prophecy and Its
F'ul6llment." The paper was well re.

One minister remarked on the subject
matter. "that is orthodoxy. and il that
be Universalism, have nothing to say
against it,"
Fort Atkinson.-At our annual fair
held last Thursday evening. we made

is less than formerly has been made. we

church. Our congregations are now
averaging nearly one hundred. The
Sunday-school is in excellent condition
and We have twenty-five earnest and
z 'alous young people.
