MEETINGS AT HAVEN, KAN.

wv. HUTTON, M. D.. of Haven, Kan,
sends a communication relating to our
movement in that place, which is full OF
encouragement. He says:
Our hearts are full of rejoicing and we
desire to make it known to all our friends.
Rev. John Edward Reyes has just closed
a series of Good News Meetings in
Haven with the result OF seventeen new
members and the awakening and sym
pathy of scores beside. The story of
the cause at Haven, Kansas, is like this:
About two years ago Rev. Frances e.
Brant started the work. and in her per-
sistent and successful way kept it up
more or less continuously, preaching
one-fourth of the time, with the occa-
sional help of Rev. j. Davis, our veteran
minister. Miss Brant organized society
of about twenty. In this form work
was pushed along in season and out OF
season in connection with the many
forces of opposition usually attending
Universalist movements.
Last May Rev. j. E. Reyes came and
gave week of meetings. at which time
the First Universalist Church was or
ganized, with membership OF thirty
nine. Rev. Mr.. Reyes gave us strong
sermons which will never be forgotten
in this community. The song service
was inspiring. This grand effort made
it possible in ore week to gather to-
gether and crystalline into one body the
material at hand. This was wonder
full result. One week later Miss Brant
received two new members and organ
lied the Sunday school. This branch is
in flourishing condition, nearing one
hundred.
Our recent meetings continued two
weeks and one day, and we're held in
the new Universalist church which is
not yet completed. We hope to dedi.
cate it in October, '96 and invite the
State Convention. Rev. Mr.. Reyes has
been asked to return at that time, and
u6 6dlu. IL L i've. 4ul' iAOyOo 40
strong man. His words and song have
given us all stronger hope and won
derful revolution of thought is abroad
in the land.
Rev.J. Davis was with us the first week
and preached very acceptably. There is
no grander man living than Bro. Davis
Rev. George N. Falconer, of Durango
Col, came during the second week ano
also preached very acceptably and as
sisted in the work at hand. Mr.. Fal
coner has gone to the Hutchinson
Church, and will preach there for the
present at least. He is very much liked
in Haven. The Ladies' Society of Chris
ton Workers cleared $40 by giving
chicken pie dinner on election day
They are working zealously for their
coming Fair early in December. These
ladies will gladly receive packages.
Send to Mrs. Dr. j. W. Hutton, Haven
Kansas. 1t is difficult in small coun-
try place like this to make or secure a
great variety of articles, SO please send.
Well, we are happy in our work. Mr.
Keyes has given us a grand treat il
these meetings. Our membership il
fifty-eight. We hope to be able to say
one hundred next year when Mr.. Reyes
returns. J. w. Hutton, M. d.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
November IL was like an eastern June
day without and typical April day with
in our church. Rev. G. A. Garst, the new
pastor, was at his best and showed no
signs of having ever been sick; and his
whole service, including an excellent
sermon on the Higher Ownership" had
the true JUNCTION of the spirit.
At it's close the congregation OF parish
and church membership unanimously
confirmed a resolution of the Trustees
calling Bro. Garst to the pastorate; and
surprised good DR.. Deere by making him
pastor emeritus, covering him and his
wife with believed flowers of affection.
The formal action only confirmed the
high and holy place DR.. Deere and wife
have in the affection of the people.
While life and memory lasts the River
side friends of Universalism will love
and homer Dr. and Mrs. Deere. Their
place in the hearts of the people of this
generation is secure and their blessed in
heritance cannot be changed. Happy
the people who thus honor and love a
retiring pastor who has given his best
years to their service; and happy the
minister who has DIR. George H. Deere
for his helper, companion and friend.

But we need the help now, to step right
in to occupy this church at once. l
have the promise from many that they
will come in and fill the house to the
overlooking to hear the glad tidings of
Jesus-for this enables all to rejoice in
the faith and hope that God will save
our entire humanity. Brother give us
your encouragement Yours in love.

OHIO NEWS LETTER.
BRYAN.

Rev. E. d. Jacobs has been engaged
as pastor of our church at Bryan for the
seventh year. We are glad to report
this fact. The Sunday-school aided by
its friends particularly Bro. E. L.
Binns, Superintendent has purchased
and laid new carpet in place OF that
which has done service for twenty years.
Our correspondent says: Like its pre-
decessor, the new carpet is of linen, and
we trust that it's threads may grow thin
and broken. under the tread of child
hood as happy and an age as kindly and
helpful as those which have consecrated
the old one. The Union Thanksgiving
services will be held in our church No

ELDoRADo AND CoNovER.

Rev. j. HI. blackboard has resumed the
passionate of our church at Eldorado,
preaching there on fourth Sundays. He
also has taken charge of the Conover
church, giving it several Sundays OF
each month. The outlook at both
places is excellent, and we expect to hear
of good results, and trust that Bro.
Blackford's health and strength may be
such that he may serve another term of
twenty years at Eldorado, and one
equally as long at Conover.

citric Acid.

Enormous quantities of citric acid are
used III calico printing, III pharmacy and
in the preparation Of artificial lemonade.
About ] Il ounces (570 grains) of pure
citric acid dissolved in pint of water
gives solution which has the average
acidity of good lemon juice. When di-
luted with several times its bulk of wa
ter, sweetened with sugar and scented
with a single drop Of essence of lemon,
an artificial lemonade is cheaply pro-
duced, which is much used as "a cooling
drink in fever hospitals.
1t has also been used III the navy as Il
substitute for fresh lemon juice in the
treatment or prevention Of scurvy, but
has been found much less efficient. In
fact, this artificial lemonade is by no
means equal to that made from pure
lemon juice, whether used at table or
for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu-
matte govt the fresh juice of the lemon
is preferred on account of the bicitrate
of potash which it contains Pure lemon
juice is also valuable remedy in sore
throat and diphtheria. Cases have been
recorded in which children have appar-
emily been cured of this terrible disease
by constantly sucking oranges or lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like some
other acids, the power Of destroying the
bad effects Of polluted water used for
drinking, bat it is perhaps best to boil
the water before adding q little citric
acid to it.-Chambers Journal.

DINING WITH THE PRINCE.
The Hospitality of Albert Edward At MARI.
borough House.

The Prince of Wales gives in the
course of the season certain special din
ners at Marlborough House, which in
many essential respects differ from those
which he attends at other peoples
houses The guests do not number more
than 40 people, including the ladies and
gentlemen in attendance upon the prince
and princess When members of the
royal family arrive at Marlborough
House, at the outer gate, the fact is al
once signaled from the lodge. so that the
Prince and Princess of Wales are never
taken by surprise, but are in readiness
to receive them
The dining room in which the BAN
quet is served is a magnifcently deco
rated apartment, with ceiling of white
and gold. On the wall ON the left hand
side is great square of red plush to set
of the presentations of plate which have
been made TO their royal highnesses dur
ing the recent years The Prince of
Wales, as host, sits not at the end, but
in the middle seat, at the side Of large
and long table. Table decorations are of
massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. A very high centerpiece is
| filed with flowers, and more blossoms
are placed III tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses
Probably Marlborough House is the
only place III London in which the
knives and forks are laid so curiously.
To each guest two forks and no more
are provided, and these are placed prongs
downward, reversing the usual method.
In addition there is one large tablespoon
and one large knife. In no circumstance
are two knives permitted upon the table
simultaneously, and for this rule very
strange reason is assigned. His royal
highness is very superstitious, and on
no account will he incur the risk of
having knives crossed inadvertently.
The wineglasses are placed, by the bye,
! i'll a line as straight as a company of
| soldiers, and the services are simply fold
ed in two. Small water bottles are used
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
in Marlborough House.
Dinner begins at s 40 p. IN. and lasts
for one hour and ten minutes. Rapid
service is insisted upon. Yet four or five
walters only are allowed to enter the
dining room, which is, however, some
distance from the kitchen. Celebrity and
dispatch are obtained by the employ
ment of Il small army of assistants sta
toned behind the scenes
For dessert royal blue sevres is used.
and when the time has come for coffee
| and cigars the custom is once during
the year, and only once--tle night of
the Derby dinner-to hand to each guest
silver lighter Of unique design, No
two lamps are alike, as they have at va
rious times been presented by different
donors to the Prince of Wales, and each
one has its history. Ladies' Home
