WOMAN'S CENTENARY ASSOOIA-
TON.
The Annual Meeting in All Souls Church
Brookiyn,N N. Last Week-A Spirited
Gathering New Missionary Enter
prises Projected,

New YORK, May 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Woman's Centenary
Association, the Woman's National
Missionary Association of the Univer-
salist Church closed Thursday night,
May 16, with considerable enthusi-
asm. While the Convention was not
a large gathering the interest grew
every hour. There were in addition
to the delegates fourteen of our cler-
gymen in attendance. We were
handsomely entertained by the pas
tor and Woman's League of All
Souls Church, most ably assisted by
the pastors and members of the other
Brooklyn churches of our faith. The
program was unusually we'll sus,
tanned throughout, the essays and
papers being some of the best pro-
auctions ever brought as an offering
to any Convention.
The Trustees of the General Con-
vention honored this handmaiden in
church work-the w. G. A.-by ask
ing it to take charge of missions on
the Pacific Slope, and to secure the
services of Rev. Asa M. Bradley as
the missionary in charge of the Cali
fornia and Oregon mission stations of
the church.
Thursday morning Rev. E. G. Nash
made an appeal for pledges or gifts
toward the salary of the missionary
and $3.50 was pledged in few min
utes. The salary including travelling
expenses, is fixed at 81, 500, and now
is the hour of opportunity for those
who believe in home missions to show
the faith that is in them by generous
gifts for this purpose.
The Executive Board loses one of
it's old members, Mrs. E. D. Browne,
but gains three new ones, Mrs. Ella
Manning, of Stamford, Conn, being
elected, to fill Mrs. Brownies place as
Recording Secretary, and Mrs. j. H.
Swan, of Chicago, and Miss M. A.
Bortle, of Buchtel College, two cleo
tive members. The first is to serve
three years, the second two years.
Nine States have organized and be-
come auxiliary to the w. G. A.,
Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania,
District of Columbia Counting as
State), Michigan and the State of
Washington.
One of the auguries of future
usefulness was the announcement of
a bequest of one thousand dollars
from the late Mrs. Clarissa l.. Crane,
widow of Thomas Crane, of Siam
ford, Conn.
The Scottish Mission had many
good words spoken for it, and $3.50
was appropriated for this year, and
the needs of the mission commended
to its old friends who so earnestly de-
sire to see it sustained. The weather
was cool, but there was nothing chill
ling about the hospitality of All
Souls pastor,-Rev. DIR. Adams,-o
his people. The financial condition
of the Association was reported as be-
ing better than last year, and the new
order of doing things, of getting into
the heart of every parish through mis-
sion circles, commended itself to all,
and it begins to be seen what thor
ough organization will do. ELS.

To the Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT:

is doubtful whether these programs
serve any useful purpose. They are
rarely followed and when the time ele-

they are apt to be misleading. Former

BY the decision of
Inc lncoine Lax the Supreme Court of
UNDERSTANDINGS the United States, rem
dered on Monday last, after rehearing
Of the pending suits, the income tax was
decided unconstitutional and rendered
null and void. The decision was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller and was
largely review of the general aspects
of the questions involved. The Chief JUS
tice based the opinion OF the court upon
the argument that the provisions of the
law regarding the tax on rents and
bonds we're so essential factor of it as
to render all other parts of it dependent
on them, and, in accordance with the
we'll known rule of law bearing on this
question. the law as whole must be
declared invalid. The decision creates
little surprise as it was not anticipated
that the law could stand after it was so
badly damaged by the former decision
eliminating from it the tax on rents and
bonds. There will be general satisfaction
expressed in the present decision, mas
much as it has been an unpopular
measure and a political blunder from
the start

Editorial reports this week also include
the remainder of the California Conven-
ton at San Diego, the Woman's Centen-
airy at Brooklyn. and the Oregon Con-

terfere largely with the usual make up"
of the paper. We aim to condense as
much as possible. but still the necessary
matter overfiows into columns. Our
compensation lies in the thought-we

that the UNCONVENTIONAL reader expects
to see all prominent meetings reported
