dertaking, whether able to be present
with us or not.
We want every Union to try to find
some way to send delegate; no assess

for membership.
We shall undertake no work that will
interfere with our several State Unions
nor with our National Union.
We particularly urge that every Union
whether represented by delegates or not

gard to the following questions: Letters
may be addressed to Revs. Mrs. Crum.

or any person known to be in attendance
at meeting.)
(1) What shall be the name of the
Association?
~ What shall be the extent of the

work?
t3) What do you think rs to the plan
of holding the Association each year in
connection with one of the State Union
Conventions-rotat among the States
included separate days being given to
the Association?
az What suggestions have you for
the good of our Union work?
Let us hear also from isolated friends
and members and we will make this let

formulating plan for permanent or

Let all Unioners take an interest in
this matter and whoever is able among
us to make the trip to Iowa Falls let
him volunteer and bear his own expenses
and he will feel himself repaid we are
sure. Fraternally yours.

UNIVERSALIST GENERAL OONVEN-
TON.
STATEMENT AND APPEAL BY THE
FINANCIAL SECRETARY.

FINANCIAL SECRETARY.
The financial year of the General Con-
vention closes September 80, 1895. Con-
tributions from parishes or individuals
received before that date will be credited
to the returns of the present year. 1t is
desired that the offerings from both of
these sources may be greatly increased
during the current month.
The Importance and extent of such
work as is now being carried forward
under the auspices of the General Con-
vention justify it's appeal for generous
financial support. 1t asks with confid.
ence for an expression Of practical sym
patty with it's work for Missions, educa-
ton, and church extension. A prompt
ness OF response at this time of urgent
need will count for much in the way of
help and encouragement.
Attention is called to the following
suggestive facts:
l. While upward of 1900 Cent-a-Day
pledges have been registered. there are
vet many parishes which have not ap-
piled this plan.
2. The parishes last referred to have
been urged to make direct contribu-
ton to the General Convention, to re-
spond by an amount at least as much as
was contributed by them, respectively,

MRS. ELIHu MOORE.


Died. August % at the residence of WI Black,
in Cedar Rapids, Ia. after an illness of only six
days. MARY MOORE. the widow of the late Rev.
e. Moore, well known In central Ohio for his SER
vices in the cause of the triumphant gospel. She
was the daugher of Esquire Allen. "a staunch Uni
versalst and was born at Worthlngton. o., July
10. 1927. Her life was long and event H. and her
end was peaceful as an autumn sunset. She
was three times married, and with her first hus
band. Harvey Marquis, crossed the plains on the
overland route to California in 1919. The hard
ships undergone on that eventful journey have
become historical. Cut of from water by hostile
Indians. she saw sister-ln-aw die of thirst; all
of their cattle were stolen or died. and finally,
when hope was we'll nigh gone. the government
organized arescuing party that found them after
they had travelled on foot more than five hundred
miles.
The terrible sufferngs of that journey left their
indelible impress, and often In her later years
she would hear In her dreams. the whoOp of the
Indians. and=the moaning of her companions,
dying for lack Of water. Her only son died
fourteen years ago, leaving her chldless
widow. Yet she had many friends who. because
of her peculiarly sunny and hopeful tempera-
ment. were strongly attached to her. During
the active years of her husbands ministry. she
formed many acquaintance in Westyille. Wood
stock. Plain City, and was also welknown
through the counties of Darke and Miami
Mrs. Moore was peculiarly fortunate In her
friendships. and they materially aided in k .ep-
ing her young in thought and lent strength to the
hold tina she had on life. Yet no one could
have looked upon death with less of concern
than did she. And when he came 1t was with
silent and painless touch. Six days before her
decease. and almost Immediately after her re-
turn from visit to Ohio, she was stricken with
paralysis of the brain. The succeeding days
were blank to her, and cared for In the tender
