MICHIGAN etroit.-The annual
meeting of the society held week ago
Monday evening deserves special COM
ment. 1t was notable for it's large at
tendance. the ready reports of all de
partments, and the despatch with which
the business was performed. The re-
ports show healthy condition in all de-
partments, and the financial report
shows the gain that comes from sys-
tematic method of conducting the af-
fairs Of the church.
Mr.. Snyder. business agent, reported
10 new contributors to the church
during the past fifteen months. and a
net gain in receipts of about 81, 10000.

ornamentation of the tables. Mrs. Bow
ling was at the head Of the committee

moned to her aid workers old and new.

Christmas in Ravenna was saddened
by two funerals in our church. At
P. Nj. fitting services comforted the family
and friends of Mrs. B. F. Boosinger, a
member Of the church from the time OF
its organization in 1877. AS the process
sion moved toward the cemetery, another
procession arrived, and in front Of the
pulpit was placed casket, covered with
flowers, containing the body Of young
woman of twenty-four years, who four
years before stood as bride before
Rev. Andrew Wilson, beautiful, and &C.
complished. Possessed Of a.fine home,
and blessed with kind and loving
husband and friends, Mrs. Rose Chat
fee Moulton has suddenly passed into
another mansion of the good Fathers
House. The services we're very impress
sive and comforting, and the hope in
spired by Christmas, comes to assure
the hearts mourners.
The Young Peoples Christian Union
had very happy social in the parlors of
the church, waiting the departure of
the old and the beginning Of the New
Year.
On the first Sunday of the new year,
after short talk by the pastor, two
young women were welcomed to the
church, and the Communion Service OBJ
served. 1t was happy occasion and
all seemed to be on the mount OF trans
figured thought and life. In the even
ing Miss M. A. Bortle gave an admirable
lecture to congregation that filed the
house, on Neglect not the gift that is
in thee" Miss Bortle always receives
warm welcome in Ravenna.

WISCONSIN.-Our last issue gave a
report OF the Y. &C. U. Convention at
Racine. We now have few additional
facts reported by Rev. A. @. Grier, the
pastor, under the caption,
Convention Echoes"
The following were elected delegates
to the National Convention at Boston
next June: Miss Amanda Kidder, Pres
ident; Mr.. Perm Wakefield, Lacrosse:
Miss Charlotte Underwood, Racine; Miss
Rogers, Ft. Atkinson. An effort will be
made to pay their expenses.
The missionary work for the year was
left in the hands of the executive board.
The idea is to concentrate the work of
the Y. PC. u, upon the same place that
the State Church Convention is trying
to build up.
Rev. Harry L. Garfield, National Sec
rotary, was an inspiration and help to
the meeting. All voted it the best con.
vention of the Y. PC. U. ever held in
the State.
MISUNDERSTANDING short
time since Bro. H. G. Grow received a
letter from Rev. @. III. Shinn stating
that he would come to our city and
spend four days preaching at night on
week days and three times on Sunday.
He came according to promise and held
seven meetings. The attendance and
interest increased at each meeting. We
organized Universalist society with
President, Secretary and Treasurer and
an Executive Committee. Thirty six
signed as members of the society to
come in as charter members of our
church when organized. All are heads
of families coming from orthodox
churches into which they had drifted.
Some gave us their names who never
heard Universalist sermon before.
Bro. Shinn will arrange to come here
again in April next and organize Uni
versalist church and set us to work in
good shape. In the mean time we will
meet once in two weeks, have religious
services and arrange for our spring or
ganization.
We hope to induce several of our num-
Der to take THE UNIvERsALIsT. 1t is a
noble paper and should be in every Uni
versalist family. Bro. Shinn went from
here to Little Rock, Ark.

in the chapel. After the inner man had
been beautifully supplied, Mr.. Walter

THE RACINE CHURCH.

The new edifice OF the Church OF the
Good Shepherd, Racine. Wis, OF which
We give an engraving, was dedicated
Wednesday evening, January 2. The
structure stands upon the corner OF
College avenue and Seventh street and
as the reader can see, is a handsome
building, an ornament to the city, and
a credit to those who have reared it as
home for worship and fame for prayer.
1t is we'll furnished and provided with all
the conveniences necessary in modern
church building.
The program attending the dedication
was carried out almost to the letter.
From the account prepared by the pas
tor for the Racine Daily Times we con-
dense the following: The church was
beautifully decorated with callas and
other dollhouse plants, while cut roses
and smilax graced the altar and chande-
Tiers.
But the best decoration was the large
audience that filled the room, and al
though the services lasted till lo;3o
o'clock, every moment was replete with
interest. The service opened with an
anthem by the choir, nicely rendered
and fitting to the occasion; Mrs. Nellie
Mann Opdale then led in the responsive
service. which had been especially pre-
pared for the dedication. Miss Char
lotte Underwood followed with prayer
that breathed out the spirit of divine
life. The Scripture lesson, the both
chapter of Isaiah, was read by Rev. Harry
l.. Garfield. Then followed hymn
suitable for the occasion.
Mr.. r. B. Bates read history OF the
church, the facts contained in which
we're gathered by Mr.. VIM. Utley. Mr.
Bates prefaced his paper by reading
from the minutes of the society covering
the first few years of its existence. The
record was replete with interest. We
shall hereafter print the substance OF
the historical address in THE UNIvER
sALIsT.
Another anthem by the choir followed
the history. Rev. j. ID. Palmer, OF
Cedar Rapids, Ia, delivered the dedica-
tory sermon. His theme was 1.-THE Ever
Present God,' The sermon is pronounc-
ed eloquent and helpful Modern in
word, phrase and thought, alive with
spiritual power and earnestness, he spoke
the word of the hour. "This church we
dedicate" he said, ito living and not
dead God, to living and not dead
Christ. to the service of God as Christ
was dedicated to the service OF God. by
being dedicated to the service OF man."
The pastor. Rev. A. G. Grier, offered
the dedicatory prayer, the choir follow
ing with choral response. A letter was
read from the former pastor. Rev. X. q.
Stafford. which was full OF the spirit OF
true and abiding friendship.
Rev. w. S. Ralph, of Columbus then,
with outstretched hands over the stand
ing congregation, pronounced the formal
sentence of dedication. The choir sang
another anthem and the benediction was
pronounced and all was over. But the
memory of the sacred hour will linger as
long as life shall last and will be pow
erful factor in the work of theChurch OF
the Good Shepherd for many year.

The Sunday-school will hold its an
nual meeting on Friday evening, January

character will occupy the evening.

The recently circulated statistics Of
the "Universalist General Convention"
for 1894 should have a careful reading
by every member of our church. There
is much food for wholesome thought.
1t shows a good per cent Of gain the past
ten years IN our organized life. Families
% As per cent. church membership, 463s
per cent. We should do much better in
the next ten years. AS compared with
1893, the report of Receipts" for 1894,
show falling off of over $1,000, which is
no doubt owing largely to the financial
stringency Of the times, but our increase
in Universalist families and members
should have more than made up the diff
erence. Read the Report. Fps.
