address, but be was not able 10 do so,
aud Rev. DR.. Conger spoke for him
briefly, saying the gospel is q message OF

Rev. Florence Kollock had 6 few ears
nest words to say about tho good the
Universsiist church is doing in Pasa-
oena. Its work for the past seven years
is just beginning to bear fruit and it ls
growing larger in numbera and sweeser
in spirit.
The evsaiGg session was largely ST.
tended. the auditorium being we'll filed.
The first speaker was Mrs. Willie
Chaplin. She reviewed the history Of
mankind and the relation OF woman !;
how she vas made a slave and worked
terrible vengeance on mankind for thet
enelayement. The history OF the Ro-
mans and Greeka IL intimately CON-
nscted with woman, where her influence
is great. the same condition mny be
followed through the history of ell ma
tiona. For 1l00 years women were bid
den to keep silent in the church. The
virgin Mary has inspired mon to do more
valiant deeds than any other thing. 1t
was her vision which led men to the
crusadea end many OF the most valiant
deeds that history records. Tbs degree
dation OF woman meane ths downfall OF
any nation which counteusnoes it. She
has been always the champion OF higher
things.
What would have been the history of
Christiauity without Elizabeth OF Eng
land? She had ell the follies of women
and all the virtues which are accounted
masculine SO though there would be
seen in follies and virtues. 1t ia the
ordinary man or woman OF the world
thas makes the extraordinary woman
or mar. for they are one in possibilities.
Her aphere is the universe. She ia
mans equal by divine right. Man and
woman rise or sink together II she be
small, miserable or of little capacity,
how shall man grow2
Rev. Amanda Deyo of San Diego took
her subject from Matthew: "If We, boz
ing earthly, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more
shall your Father who 10 in heaven
know how to give good gifts" A atir-
ring appeal was made for love and kind
ness in the homs circle. The word uni
versslist does not belong to this church
any more than it does to tho whole
world. The universalist principle of
love rules the worlds OF all space. Have
the upirit of love in all your dealings
with man. Take out the evil of our
business system and secure grand
result. The kingdom of God msy be
brought here ON this earth. The Uni
versalist church has mighty work to
open the Bible and read anew its con-
tents of His love which endures forever
that he is about us as the seas which
are deep on every aide of our continent
Both OF the addresses were warmly
received, the attention being closely held
throughout the evening. Rev. Mr.. Rice
