Our In Memoriam column this week re-
cords the departure of dear old friend
Silas Weston, of Mount Healthy. o. He
was one of the old line Universalists and
a man faithful as he had opportunity.
We sorrow that we shall see his face
no more. His name has been on the list

to part with this old friend. but we re-

has spared him so long and who has now
garnered him into the heavenly garner
as "a shock of corn fully ripe" His
memory will be pleasant to all his

THE ELMER (M0.) DEBATE.

Rev. Mr.. Throgmorton, of Kansas, has
just closed. 1t began promptly on time.

The Universalist cause has not suf-

the contrary has gained immensely. At

ILLINOIS AT GALEsBURG.
Following is the official notice of the
annual session of the Illinois Convention
which is to be held this year at Gales
burg:
The Fifty. eighth Annual Session Of
the Illinois Universalist Convention will
be held at Galesburg, beginning at 10
o'clock A. M. Tuesday, September "a,

quested to choose their delegates early
in September and to send the lists to the
undersigned. Each parish is entitled to
two delegates and to an additional lay
delegate for every twenty-five families
above the first twenty-five contributing
to parish expenses. Parishes that have
not yet paid in their annual contribu-
tions should attend to that important
matter at once, in order that the Treas

balance on the right side.
Galesburg is near the center of the
State. is on the G. B. & @, and A. T. &
S. f. Railroads. and thus easy to reach
from any part Of the State. There
should be an unusually large attendance
this year.

the railroads can be secured, but as to
that a more definite announcement will
be made later.

increase in drunkenness among the

Todd, who was mother to one and
grandmother to two in our family,
who came with us to Narragansett
Pier, from New York, on the 10Th of
June, for whose sake chiefly we Sc
lected this spot for our vacation,
hoping that a summer here might
benefit her failing health, mitigate at
least her threatened sufferings,
passed suddenly away from us, on
the morning of the 10Th of July. The
struggle was short and comparative
ly painless. Only week before she
came down to breakfast; ten days be-
fore she rode out and was not much
fatigued. Her room, bright and COM
Portable, opened from a large hall in
the second story of our cottage, and
had north and east view-charming
view it was but limited. She loved
to sit at the front window where she
could look down upon the wide green
lawn, watch the goers and corners,
the children at play, the people and
carriages in the street, and where her
eyes could peer into the vine-covered
porches of the many PRETTY cottages
beyond. From another window she
could see, little distance off under
the blue sky, quite bit of the hardly
less blue ocean and occasional white
sails drifting across it. She was
glad and grateful that she had come
to this spot. She complained of
nothing. She greeted with pleasant
smiles and words our frequent visits
to her apartment. When she began
to keep her bed we were naturally
alarmed, but she affirmed still mer-
ciful absence OF distress. The chill

kiss, not dreaming that it was the
last. In the afternoon of the follow

T. Coolidge, of Cambridge, Mass, and
Mrs Coolidge arrived at her bedside,
and she recognized them dimly; at
least, so they believed. Later, in the
hush of the evening hour, we gath
cred about her when DR.. Coolidge
stood up and TREMENDOUSLY read the
divine Word to us, then knelt and
touchingly commended all to the
peace and mercy of God. And Cod
silent peace came into our hearts. As

the little children-and big children
as well-love to touch with their
bare feet, plunge their toes into, sit
and roll on, fill their hands with.
Who of us cannot remember loving to

wholly lost that lovei The wet sand

hence can be moulded into different

Cunning sight! Large numbers be-
side the bathers are generally walking
or sitting on the beach mingling to-
gether in the most democratic and
plebeian manner. Every fair morn
ing spreads a curious piece of en-
broidery along the shore here. A BIZ
cycle shoots across the sandy floor
occasionally, the rider lady, it may
be, in her water suit, and making
charming picture in some cases. The
scores of naked legs flying about are
masculine; the ladies wear long
stockings and close fitting caps. Some
of their costumes are pretty.
A long stretch of pavilions rises
above the beach and from the breezy
seats under their covers, one has a
full view of the spots and scenes l
have imperfectly described; and al
though they are extremely entertain
ing, on the whole, many beholders
must be impressed with the convic-
ton, that whatever the old Greeks
thought, the human form, with few
exceptions, is not after all very beau
tiful when it is not idealized or well
disguised with fine clothes. -Four
children in whom l am especially in
terested, are enthusiastic frequenters
of the sand-beach, and of the surf.
They are earnest students in the
swimming art, and making good
progress. I imagine that fins are be-
ginning to grow on their backs, and
that they will soon become more CT
less amphibious.
