EVENING SESSION.
The Occasional Sermon.

In the evening the Occasional Sermon
was preached by Rev BIG Russell, Athen
DR.. Sweetser and Rev. Mr.. Washburn
assisting in the opening exercises. The
sermon was from the text (Thess. v: u
prove all things; hold fast to that which
is good"
Recognizing the notifications that
have taken place in the orthodox church,
the speaker contended that there were
still held views regarding God. man
Christ and destiny, which called for the
continued activity of the Universalist
Church.
The thought that there exists devil
who is opposing and will successfully
oppose forever the purpose of God, is
still held-the thought that mans will

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

The reports of the Treasurer and Sec
rotary of the Board of Trustees were
postponed until Wednesday morning.
The Secretary submitted communi.
cation from the Rhode Island Universal
list Convention inviting the Pennsyl-
vania Convention to cooperate in en-
couraging Christian union, by adopting
the articles of union proposed by the
Congregationalists Of New Jersey. An
interesting discussion followed, Rev. Mr..
Polk advocating the adoption. Rev. Mr..
Bisbee, while favoring Christian union.
thought it wise to move slowly in Rc-
cepting proposition the spirit of which
was so constantly violated in practice.
DR.. Sweetser thought he could accept
all the articles of the proposed union.
Rev. o. r. Washburn felt that there
was growing spirit of unity that would
not be encouraged by written state.
ments. He would encourage the growth
of the spirit in every way.
Messrs. Barnes and Russell gave some
practical experience. after which it was
voted that committee be appointed to
consider the subject and report. The
President appointed Messrs. Sweetser,
Polk and Washburn.
Rev. DIR. Sweetser submitted the re-
port of the Committee of Fellowship for
the year, showing that there had been
no cases of discipline; there had been
two licenses granted for one year, five
transfers from other States and four had
been transferred to other fellowships.
The remainder of the session was
taken up with interesting reports from
the delegates, showing the condition of
their local churches and offering sugges.
tions for new methods of work. These
reports combine in showing the growth
of the cause of Universalism throughout
the State to be encouraging, though the
effect of the hard times is felt seriously
in all the churches. Much qualification
was shown in the great increase in the
young peoples movement.

Farmer Jones, Whisky Spring.

The discovery of an alleged spring Of
pure rye whisky on the farm of Silas Jones'
near Smithton, Westmoreland county, has
created intense excitement among the peo-
pie of that place. Several days ago Farmer
Jones, while digging a'ditch, came upon
an old well. He struck ledge of soft sand
stone, and from a crevice in its side came
drops of whisky. To make sure Of it the
farmer tasted the liquid and pronounced it
fair quality of barleycorn. After arrang-
ing to run the drippings into cask he
closed up the well in order to keep the
discovery secret. Many think the whisky
comes from u storage vault of an old dis
tillery that probably stood where Jones
began digging. The Oldest inhabitant docs
not remember such a distillery. Barrels os
whisky were probably buried in the hill
side and forgotten. Now that the casks
are decaying, the contents are oozing out
through the hill. Ledger.
