ment has been inaugurated, and we pro-
pose to celebrate this suspicious COM
mencement by such a Convention as
this State has never held before.
Well, how is that to be done? In the
first place by securing reduced rates.
Can that be done? Yes. How? BY
having 100 persons present who pay full
fare one way. Then we get a fare Of
one-third on our return. This is exclus-
i've Of clergymen and others who secure
reduced rates. The railroads have grant
ed US this on condition that we have 100
persons paying full fare one way.
Can this 100 be secured? Yes. How?
Well, Neenah and Menasha are very near
to Oshkosh, and they will send 40 dele
gates.
That leaves only 60 from all the rest
Of the State. Can they be secured? Yes.
How? By every person who can pos
sibly do SO making up his mind that he
will attend. And by every parish de-
Gliding now to send large delegation.
We also propose to have one of the
finest Conventions ever held, both in
program and in enthusiasm.
Let us give one grand push and all to-
gether, and we will set the ball of Uni
versalism rolling along to a grand future.
Each parish has right to four dele
gates who can vote.
Don't think that you can't send more
than the list number. Some places will
fall far below this, in fact will fail to be
represented, and you will be needed to
make up the list. We want rs people
there besides the Neenah and Oshkosh
friends. This is no visionary scheme,
but is practical, but I can't do it all.
You can do it. Do it!

by the lastor. Rev. Charles Legal, who
chose for his text Nehemiah, ii, 3:
''And he said unto the king. let the king
live forever. Why should not my coun-
tenance be sad when the city, the place
of my fathers sepulchres, lieth waste
and the gates thereof are consumed with
fire?"
Mr.. Legal related the inspiring story
of Nehemiah who, while in servitude in
a country far from his native city. Jeru-
salem, hearing one day that its walls
were crum bling and that its temple was
going to ruin. was SO impressed with
what he considered his duty that he i'm
mediately departed for his old home.
Upon arriving at Jerusalem he was
almost overcome by the desolation and
ruin that confronted him. Not dis
heartened, however. he gathered a force
about him and in an incredibly short
time built up the crumbling walls and
restored the temple.

INDIANA Organization at Craw-

of April % gives the following notice of
the organization of the new st. Paul's
Universalist Church in that city on the
previous Sunday:
Rev. I. S. Guthrie preached both
morning and evening to good sized au-
diences at the P. o. S. of A hall. At the
conclusion of the morning service in a
very impressive manner he extended the
fellowship of the church to all of the
charter members present. At the even
ing service five more were added to the
number, making in all 45 members. In
the afternoon the members met to COM
plete the organization. Rev. Mr.. Guth-
RE presided and O'Neal Watson was APP

permanent officers were elected: Mod

In closing Mr.. Legal pointed out the
necessity for new church. and urged
that every one interested should see to
it that talk alone should not be the con-

sermon the following communication
from Mrs. Emery, who was unable to be
present, was read:

with which you have received this gift so freely
given fills me with emotions which language
fails to express. did not realize that this of

of Universalism in this State. but do realize
that my abiding love for the good tidings of
great joy promulgated by the man of Nazareth

of heart hand and brains at his feet.
"In this spirit trust you have accepted
the gift. and when we have buided our little
