The voices unknown, unguessed.
That whisper, and lisp, and murmur,
And will not let me rest.
Voices that seem ito question.
In unknown words, of me,
Of fabulous ventures and hopes and
Of this and the world to be.
Voices of mirth and music.
AS of sumptuous. homes and sounds
OF mourning, as of gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence of maiden voices.
Their lovers bleut with these;
And of little children singing,
AS under orchard trees.
And often, up from the chaos
! Of my deepest dreams, hear
| Sounds of their phantom laughter,
FILLING the atmosphere.
They call to me from the darkness.
I They cry to me from the gloom
| Till l start sometimes from my pillow
! And peer through the haunted room
When the face of the moon at the win
Wears a. pallor like my own;
And seems to be listening with me
| To the low, mysterious tone.
| The low mysterious clamor
! OF voices that seem TO be
| Striving in vain to whisper
Of secret things to me.
! OF something dread to be warned Of
| Of a rupture yet withheld;
| Or hints of the marvellous beauty
OF songs unsyllabled.
| But ever and ever the meaning
Falters and fails and dies,
And only the silence quavers
With the sorrows of my signs.
And I answer: Q, voices, ye may not
Make me ITO understand
| Till my own voice, mingllnlg with you
Laughs in the Shadowland.

Then it is proposed to organize wo-
mems league composed of all the Unit
versalist women of our city churches and
vicinity, to be essentially a woman's
church club, or something more.
Now will not the men and women or
gained separately in this way do more
for themselves and more for the church
than If organized together? Will it not
create healthful emulation ss to which
shall work most wisely, and generously.
and disinterestedly, and which shall do
most for the church?
That is question. We do net know
exactly about it. What are the opinions
OF others?
We incline to the theory of uniting
the men and women in one organization,
and having the voice of woman heard
on the important themes that shall be
discussed at our meetings. We have
among us, in the city and vicinity, a large
number Of cultivated, bright, able women
not few OF them college bred women,
who might out-do the men in making a
wise. witty. able speech, and in giving
wise counsel as to the best things to do
to advance our church.
Well, perhaps we have said more than
we ought, and still not said the best
things. We will leave those, then, for
others to say, espe tally hoping that we
shall get the expression in print of
goodly number of our representative
women. or of women young and old, that
are not representative, and not repre-.

THE GENERAL MISSIONARY.

The Knoxville Journal of a recent
Monday in reporting the Good News
Meetings held in that city under the
auspices Of General Missionary Shinn
and Rev. w. H. mclaughlin, of Harri-
man, Tenn, gives quite a omplimentary
notice Of Bro. Shinn and some biograph-
ical matter which will interest our read
ers. 1t says:
The Rev. @. Fl. Shinn is in many re-
spects an unique minister.
For several years he has devoted his
full time and energy to missionary work.
His field is from sea to sea. and from
Minnesota to the gulf. Besides his lit
erary labor and long journeys he
preached an average of one sermon a
day for months at time, and is called
by his brethren the st. Paul of the
Universalst Church" A man of abound
ing health, phenomenal endurance, rare
organizing ability in connection to his
mission of spreading Good News" he
accomplishes in year what for nany
men Of lesser vitality is a life long
achievement.
Over fifty church organizations, dou-
BILE that number OF Sunday schools, the
national postoffice mission and the great
national summer meeting at Weirs, NH,
are some Of the results of his applied
abilities. Through his direction and en-
enlargement eleven church edifices
have been erected and dedicated and
several more are under way.
A native OF Virginia he joined the
union army at the age of sixteen, served
through the war, was in the Shenandoah
campaign under Sheridan; wounded and
imprisoned. he nevertheless returned
home in 1864 in good health and for the
last twenty three years has been an &C
tive Grand Army man. He has served
as chaplain Of the largest G. A. r. post
10 the world. that at Lynn, Mass, and
for three years department chaplain of
Maine. His present membership is with
the U. S. Grant post, Omaha, Neb.
Other bodies to which he belongs are
the Good Templar and the Odd Fellows
where he is held i'll high esteem. A
graduate Of St. Lawrence University of
Canton, he has by educational advan-
tages, wide and varied experience, com
handing presence, ready and eloquent
speech, a rare equipment for evangelis-
tic usefulness. His home is in Gales
burg. ILL.,, where his children are attend
ing college, and where he spends his
brief periods OF rest.

Letters to the Editor.
NEW YORK SECOND CHURCH.

To the Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT:
For various reasons this society has
reached very low ebb. 1t first came
into prominence, l believe, over sixty
years ago through the efforts of DR.. Saw
yer. 1t was then known as the Orchard
Street Church. Since then the church
has been obliged to move up town at
times. 1t has at periods prospered and
has at other periods suffered adversely.
Such. men as Drs. Sawyer. Demarest,
Fay, Rogers and Rev. Mr.. Hodge have
held pastorates here.
Last September Rev. G. B. Lynn began
holding services here. A thorough policy
was outlined and vigorous campaign
ensued. On January l. he was called to
another field and Rev. Lyman Ward was
called to succeed him. 1t would seem
that thus far the work of the year has
been successful. We have conducted
house to house canvass in some localities
and yet we feel that there are many fam
lilies that we cannot reach.
We ask for help, therefore, to reach
these families, from all the friends of our
church. We desire the name of every
Universalist living in Harlem. So will
pastors and laymen alike, knowing OF
Universalists in Harlem. send their
names and addresses to me at once, at
No. II West 126 ST., New York? In this
way we hope to get many new families
into our church. Will all interested
kindly heed the request? The conse.
Grated efforts OF DR.. Sawyer more than
half century ago call for the consecrat-
cd efforts Of the men who can work to-
day. LYMAN WARD.

WISCONSIN, REV. c. e. Varney to
Monroe. Iowa loses a good pastor and
Wisconsin gains in the change of Rev.
G. E. Varney from Storm Lake to Mon
roe. Bro. Varney preached his farewell
sermon at Storm Lake last Sunday. He
parts with sorrow from his people. many
of whom have grown very dear to him.
These changes are inevitable. but we al
ways announce them with regret. 1t is
hoped that the Storm Lake parish will
be able to reopen in year or two. the
Monroe church has been closed for some
time. Under Bro. Varney's labors we
shall expect prosperity to attend the
church. He begins his pastoral work on
Sunday next.

TENNESSEE Knoxville.
Missionary Shinn has been in Knoxville
holding series of meetings. The Jour.
nal of Monday. February IL, reports the
meetings as follows:
Tho series OF Universalist meetings
closed last night in "a blaze of glory as
one OF the enthusiastic members stated
it. The attendance was such that chairs
had to be brought in from abroad, to &C.
commodate the people and this was the
third service of the day too. Rev. Mr..
Shinn delivered the sermons. The au-
diences steadily increased in numbers
and a profound impression has been
made and the little bard of Universalsts
feel very hopeful Of building up strong
church here soon.
A church organization was begun and
eleven members were entered either by
baptism or letter. The organization
will be perfected and more members re-
ceived upon the Rev. Mr. McGlaughlin's
next visit. second Sunday in March.
There was strong desire to have Mr..
Shinn remain over for another week,
but as he is already advertised for
weeks meeting in Hartman and another
series in Chattanooga. it was impossible.
1t is hoped. however. that he may again
visit Knoxville in the early spring, and
should he do so a wide hearing will be
accorded to him.

MacQueary-The annual meeting of
the First Universalist Church of Erie,
was held Wednesday evening. February
6, and was we'll attended. The Secretary
read his report, showing that all expen-
ses had been paid up to date. A small
deficit exists, but may easily be covered
by outstanding pledges. The Committee
recently appointed to solicit subscrip-
tions reported an increase in subscrip-
tions of several hundred dollars, and the
financial prospect for the coming year is
very satisfactory. being about hundred
per cent better than it was year ago.
Rev. Howard MacQueary was unani.
