INDIANA NOTES.
[FRoM J. H. HEWITT

Bro. Jas. Hudson has accepted calls
from the churches at Omsted and
Attica, Ohio. He will move to the latter
place the first of April. Thus Indiana
iooses and Ohio gains young man that
promises well in our ministry.
Rev. M. L. Pope reports hard work
and good prospects in the mission field.
He wishes that those who have old Uni
versalist papers, magazines and books
of doctrinal nature to spare, and de-
sire to place them where they will do
good, to send them to him, Fincastle,
Ind. He needs them for distribution
among those who are seeking for light
and knowledge.
The Indianapolis church has sue
ceeded in obtaining supplies every Sun
day since the resignation of their former
pastor. Miss Flora B. Brown. Revs. L.
E. Ballard and o. G. Colegrove have
each supplied one Sunday. All had good
audiences. Harm ony prevails. Two
worthy members were received by Bro.
Ballard. DIR. Cantwell will preach in
Indianapolis next Sunday. April Z.
The Executive Committee of the
Lower Wabash Association is ready to
receive invitations from any church or
parish wishing to entertain the next an
nual meeting ''to be held on Friday
preceding the third Sunday in May" or
as may be decided to time and place.

Rev. T. s. Guthrie preached at

81 and %. to good audiences in the P. o.

Sunday of April to organize church.
Thirty persons have already signed
constitution preparatory to such an or
ganization. The outlook is very fiatter-
ing. Rev. James Houghton will preach
there on the first Sunday in April.
The Executive Committee met at

Canon.-At this place is the most re;
markable church. A few years ago the
two ministers and all the people we're
Baptists. They had never heard Uni
versalist minister; they had seen moth
ing Of our literature; and had no means
of knowing anything about our church,
in fact, we're strongly prejudiced against
it. Still there was providential move
ment taking place in their midst. They
would gather in groups, talk privately
their doubts as to the doctrine of their
church. At length they got hold of
some Adventist literature and found re.
lief in the doctrine of humiliation as an
alternative for endless misery. But this
did not satisfy long; laymen and preach
ers we're growing and thinking together,
each one opening to the others the new
light that came to them. At last the
full light of Universalism broke upon
the whole church, and Rev. John Bow
ers and Rev. Marion Cheek, after earn
est. anxious interviews, resolved to tell
this people openly of the new doctrine
they were no longer able to resist. To
the surprise of everybody, the whole
large Baptist congregation were Univer-
salists, except two members. Men and
their wives and all their children Uni
versalists, how strange! Messrs Bowers
and Cheek preach just as they did be-
fore. alternating their sermons niver-
salist sermons now-to the happy open
souls that come from all over the coun-
try to hear. From this center Univers-
alism is spreading like the waves when
a stone is cast into the sea-

the appropriation for parsonage at In
dianapolis to $500 if built before Sep

Secretary to look after important bust
ness at Terre Haute and North Vernon,
which the Secretary proceeded immedi-
ately to do.
The friends at Fairfield have decided
to discontinue services for the present.
This is a part of Rev. J. W. McCord's
circuit. He will therefore be able to
answer calls and do mission work on
the third Sundays of each month. He
will preach at Vevay on the fifth Sunday
OF March, and will assist Rev. II. N.
Brown to dedicate the new church at
Vevay. May II. Bro. McCord will sup
ply for Rev. j. B. Fosher at Pendleton,
McCords and Oaklandon third Sunday
in April.
Rev. ID. A. Patrick closed a very
successful series of meetings at Walton,
March 81. There were five members re-
ceived, but the greatest good has been
the arousing of the people to a sense Of
their duty and their obligations to the
church. They have organized Sunday
school, and are raising money to sustain
it; intend to use only our own publica
tions. To say that the friends are de-
lighted with their pastor but feebly OK
presses their feelings of appreciation
and good will. A letter from the clerk
thanking the Ministerial Circle for send
ing such an efficient minister as Bro.
Patrick is certainly very pleasing to
those who are sometimes censured for
mistakes elsewhere.
Rev. G. F. Bushnell exchanged with
Rev. James Houghton March a. and
preached at Sevastopol, Kosciusko Co.
in the Baptist church, Saturday and
Sunday March 30 and 81. Bro. Bushnell
had good congregations at Collamer and
Liberty Mills. March II. At the latter
place subscription paper is being cir
culated to raise funds to pay for regular
preaching. Bro. Bushnell spoke to X. of

already in regular communication with
the church, to send their names to the
pastor, Rev. John Coleman Adams. ITO
Ross ST., Brooklyn, that cards of invita-

a direct outcome Of the work done by
the New York churches Of that time.
DR.. Gunnison will be present, of course,
and some word may be expected from

KANSAS.-Seneca.-Sunday,F Feb. 26.
Rev. j. A. Stoner closed most success
full passionate of five years among us. He
carries with him to his new field of labor
in Springfield, o., not only the love of
united congregation of the Universalists
but the respect of the entire community;
under his most efficient efforts in our
behalf Universalism has taken deeper
root in the community. Bro. Stoner
chose the morning hour for his farewell
discourse and at the close of the service
received five worthy members into the
church. Sister Stoner preached in the
evening. Our prayer is that the Fathers
blessing may be upon them in Spring
field as ii surely has been in Seneca.
Only one Sabbath interviewed without
regular preaching. Rev. Leon P. Jones
of Girard. ILL.,. has been called to break
the bread Of life to us. March 10, he
took up the regular work and we feel
greatly encouraged and hopeful for the
future. This young brother bids fair
for a long and useful life of service for
our church. He has been greeted with
good congregations since he came among
US.
Our Y. P. G. U. is still actively engaged
in the good work. Several additions have
recently been made to its ranks. March
81. Ballad Concert was given by the
young people. They pay $50 on the
pastors salary. How can our church
prosper without the young people?
How slow we have been to learn this.
We have only reached the border Of con-
structive Universalism.
Kansas City.-It is a
pleasure to write that the affairs of this
church were never in more prosperous
condition in the three and half years
of it's existence than they are today.
Our numbers have recently been in
creased by the addition of several new
families, and there is marked improve
ment in the interest and attendance OF
the Y. P. G. u. devotional service and
Sundays chool. Superintendent Fish is
preparing a special service for Easter.
The Ladies' Aid Society recently gave a
birthday party at the residence of Mrs.
H. A. Hill, attended by about sixty peo-
pie, which netted the society nearly s14.
ORE0ON.--The Portland Visit Rev.
Elmer j. Felt, of Tacoma, writes in his
parish paper Of his recent visit to Port
land, Oregon. in these encouraging
terms: We know all about our Portland
cause now. We are no longer thinking
of an imaginary people when we think
of the Portland Universalists. We have
been there. met the kind friends. talked
with them about the Northwest pros
pect. preached to them. returned home
with delightful memories and are now
wondering when the pleasant experien-
ces can be renewed.

Jones, of the Ryder Divinity School,
breaches at Marseilles every other Sun
day and will continue until June. The
attendance at our services is good and
a lively interest seems to be manifested.
There is plenty of material at this place
for strong and prosperous church.
What this church needs, what all our
churches need, is enthusiastic and con-
secrated work. We're this had, not only
the church in Marseilles, but elsewhere,
would assume different aspect and a
more excellent success would crown all
our efforts.
Oak Probationary evening, March
"a, the annual parish meeting was held.
The pastor and wife with the Trustees
and other officers with their wives we're
reception committee to welcome the
sons and daughters of the Unity Church
as they gathered for the annual re-
union. This meeting is rightly regarded
as the most important event in the
church year. The reception was held in
the auditorium, after which adjournment
was had to the vestry, where the ladies
had provided bountiful feast. Plates
were laid for $50 and there we're only a
very few vacant seats. After the supper
reports were read by the pastor, Secreta-
~, Treasurer, President of the Ladies'
Union, Y. PC. u, Saturday Night Club.
Study Club, Kings Daughters. Juvenile
Kings Sons and Daughters, and by the
Secretary of the Sunday school.
These reports showed fiourishing
condition of all departments, each hav-
ing all bills paid and small balance on
hand. The Sunday school in addition
to giving $50 to the church has $3.50 in
it's treasury. The expenditures OF the
church have been greater than ever be-
fore; yet despite the hard times all bills
have been met. The current expenses
OF the church have been $3 251 and in
addition S4O6 have been expended on
repairs, permanent improvements, etc.
OF this $103 remains to be paid which
is the only liability and this has been
assumed by the Y.P. G. U. and will soon
be paid. Sixty three dollars have been
given for missionary purposes and SCI
for charity. About S45 have also been
contributed to the organ fund which
now amounts to $3.50.
The pastors report showed seventeen
families added to the parish; eight per-
sons to the church; seven children dedi-
Gated. The three years Of his passionate
have seen forty eight families added
with net gain of thirty-five. This is
a large percentage Of gain as the whole
number Of families is only ninety-three.
A decided gain in church attendance
and in the number of Sunday
pupils was also reported. The meeting
was happy union of business and
pleasure and gave to all new love for
UnityChurch and much encouragement
for the future.
INDIANA.-The ColIamer Circuit
During the last ten days of March
Rev. james Houghton has visited and
preached at three Of the churches on
his former circuit. He finds them la
boring earnestly and harmoniously.
Good congregations greeted him and
more friendly reception one could not
ask. The Collamer church has reor-
ganized it's Sunday school and the Clay
pool church will organize one soon. Rev.

these two parishes.

FATHER THRooP HONoRED.
Impressive Memorial Services at the Uni
versalist Church Pasadena, Cal.

The Universalist church was crowded
Sunday March "a. and very beautifully
decorated on the occasion of the me-
mortal services which were conducted
in honor of the late Amos G. Throop,
through whose influence, generosity and
efforts the present handsome church
edifice was erected and the church or.
ganized.
The opening services were conducted
by Rev. Florence Kollock, who with tit
ting words introduced the speakers. She
said this service was in accordance with
a vote of the Trustees that the Sunday
nearest the anniversary of Father
TROOPS death should be observed as a
memorial of him. E. o. Gale Of Chicago
an old-time friend of Father Throop,
read the following original poem, which
was written for this occasion:
In Memoriam.
All unannounced plain, staunch ship,
Without the least display.
Sails o. er the seas, and casts at last
Her anchor In the bay.
No guns proclaiming her approach.
No banners deck her spars.
One only flag above her floats.
Its blue begemmed with stars.
She sails In safety through the storms
That rage ON tropic strands,
Rich-freighted with the choicest growth
Of semi-tropic lands.
No gems nor jewels does she bring,
But wondrous seeds to sow,
OF plants, of flowers, rarest trees.
In our rich soil to grow.
She leaves her cargo slowed with us,
And sails away once more.
Well freighted with our choicest gifts,
For some far distant shore.
Farewell. brave ship. Your cargo changed.
We could not bid you stay,
But as we saw. with canvas spread
You sweep beyond the bay,
We knew that you would not return;
But graced by wind and tide.
Would reach in time some charming isle.
And anchor by its side.
We then to these rare treasures turned.
And as should stewards true.
Beneath the soil We buried them
In memory of you.
And now behold; in vale. on hill,
And far up mountain range,
We group with our own fora grand.
The worlds exotic strange,
Where day by day and month by month
AS countless years roll by
The pride of almost every land
Win bloom beneath our sky.
And so. my friends. there came to you

are perfectly In accordance with the promises
