Clara Hopgood by Mark Rutherford,
Edited by his Friend Reuben Shapcott,
Is the sort Of book to shock good many
people and indeed it is radical in Its ten
denotes. Yet the reader who looks deeper
than oonventionalities will recognize in
this story elements of great strength ana
purity. 1t is unusual in treatment and
in its study of character. The sacrifice
enacted partakes of a divine purpose.
Mazzini is introduced at the close, to
emphasize what an absolute absence of
self-regarding motive may mean. There
are inconsistencies and improbabilities
i'll this narrative but they are swept away
before thoughtful and able handling of
the complex conditions involved. The
people we follow in this novel are very
real and here and there quaint soul,
like Mrs. Caffyn relieves the strain of
too great absorption in the tragedies of
events. 1t is book to produce marked
impressions upon the reader. New York

ing, Short & Harmon. Price $125.)

Nobody's Fault, by Netta Syrett belongs
to the Key Note Series. 1t tells us of
talent and ambition in the nature of a
girl born into a hopelessly vulgar and
bourgeoise home environment and trained
and educated into p refinement alien to
such surroundings. A warm and passion
ate heart is very nearly wrecked as this
Ill ballasted little craft attempts to steer
over the great ocean Of life. And indeed
at the close, we do not attain happiness
Something finer, undoubtedly but side
by side with sorrow. By the way are a
good many pungent sayings and much
excellent description. (London: John

The Eastern Democrat io organs are fig
uring out majority for the sound money
element in the Chicago convention, but
their tables do not inspire great con-
fldence IN the mind Of the impartial OBJ
server. To get the sound money majority
a half dozen states have to be put in
that column, though their last expressions
were in favor of free coinage. Illinois, for
instance. year ago was so overwhelm-
iugly for free silver that the sound money
element did not deem it worth while to
make a fight. The only reason for assu-
ming that it will vote for gold this year
is the fact that Michigan has resolved
against free silver. But the Michig an
resolution was by no means q clear cut
declaration for gold, but rather strad-
die. which has been received with much
more satisfaction than its merits justi-
fed, simply because it was much better
than it was expected to be. About IL
that can be said about the Michigan re-
suit is that it gives the sound money ele-
ment fair fighting chance, but to assume
that it insures it's triumph is putting
the case much too strongly.

sincerely grateful to Bros. Laing and
Dinsmore for the efficient help rendered
during the meetings.
New S a | m The ladies of this
parish gave a Leap Year Supper"
Feb. 1, which very much surpassed
our expectations. The roads being SO
bad the country people we're unable to
be present. Lots of fun and nice sum
to assist in paying our pastor, Rev. j. E.
June, has been realized. Bro. June has
introduced the bank system into our
Sunday school. Several have responded
with their pennies-as many pennies as
they were years old. 1t was amusing to
hear the pennies drop SO they could be
counted. This method of raising money
for the Sunday-school will be kept up
during the year. 1t will not be confined
to the children alone and as we have
many old people we trust nice sum
will be added for our Sunday school sup
plies. Our Ladies' Aid deserves honora-
BILE mention, for it never tires and does
SO much for our pastors salary. Last
year our aid work and Sunday morning
collections made up the handsome sum
of $4,000.

CALIFORNIA. - Santa Paula.-We
have just closed week of very profitable
Church Extension Meetings under the
auspices of the w. U. A. of California.
We opened January 26, with a sermon
by the pastor presenting the Universalist
Church. and what it stands for as a
Christian body. In the evening we had
an able sermon by Rev. Asa Bradley,
Pacific Coast Missionary. Monday we
had a terrific rain and no meetings;
Tuesday and Wednesday evening Rev.
Mr.. Jones, of Pasadena, preached, giving
twodelightful sermons, thoroughly repre-
sentative of our spiritual ideas, which
were much appreciated. On Thursday
and Friday evening Rev. @. A. Garst, of
Riverside, gave mastery sermons full of
Gospel enthusiasm that captured all.
Saturday night and Sunday morning
Rev. DIR. Conger. President of the State
Convention, preached to attentive and
appreciative audiences, at the close of
which, on Sunday, five new members
were received. In the evening Rev. Asa
Bradley again preached a most timely
practical sermon. Each afternoon we
held conferences. presided over by Mrs.
Manford, President of the W. U. A.
which we're very helpful. Some s25
was received and ten Cent Day boxes
we're placed.
On the whole. it was one of our best
weeks of meetings. The sermons were
all of veryhigh grade and Messrs. Jones.
Garst and Bradley are proving valuable
accessions to the ministry of this State.
Bro. Bradley was also most valuable in
leading the singing, SO as to get the con-
gregation all engaged in song. The
meetings were truly revival" in nature;
the attendance continued to increase un.
til the house was crowded-many from
other churches comirg, and spoke very
highly of the sermons, as able, delight.
full and truly practical. The pastors
opening text: "lt the trumpet gives an
uncertain sound, who shall prepare for
the battle? was the keynote that was
closely adhered to. all through. and the
sermons all were noted for having mo
uncertain sound" l might further say,
we have recently organized Junior Y.
PC. U. with 40 members, under the lead
ership of Mrs. Hoag, that is doing we'll.
Bro. Bradley has quite a campaign
marked out. He goes from here to San
Diego; then to Pomona and Riverside,
then to Los Angeles. and then through
this county on his way north. l think

TION OF ILLINOIS.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Board of Directors Of the Universallst
Woman's Association was held Tuesday
February 4 and the usual routine Dusi-
ness was transacted.
a. The day of meeting not being
agreeable to all the members, Mrs
Marsh moved that we 80 amend article
9TH of our bylaws that hereafter we
shall meet the first Wednesday in every
month at such time and place as the
President may direct. After fully con-
sidering the motion it was carried.
On The subject of enlarging our mem
bership was matter duly considered
It was the opinion of those present that
a greater interest in our work could be
secured and we could keep in better
touch with our friends by a frequent
and systematic correspondence, which
ELECTED a motion from Mrs. Rexford,
"that the bylaws be amended by an
additional article as follows: That the
President of the Board of Directors ap
point annually one member of the Board
to serve as corresponding Secretary and
Mrs. G. B. Marsh was appointed to I'LL
that position. A vigorous and earnest
correspondence may be expected and
we trust our friends will respond gener-
ously to the appeal made for dollar mem
berships.

lily have been down with it. We are glad
to say that all are improving.
1 can testify with many OF our pastors
that the day of doctrinal preaching is
not past. / am in the midst of such
course of sermons now. l have dealt
with such topics as "Is Future Punish
ment Endless?" 1.-THE Atonement; What
1t is, and What 1t is not" "Is Proba-
ton or Education the End of Life?" and
l am still to preach on What is Heaven,
and What is Hell?" and 1.-THE Function
of the Church"
These sermons have revealed that
there is still decided interest in these
subjects on the part of the general pub
lie, and especially among the young men
and young woman in our State univer-
sity. Scarcely week passes now that
some of these young people do not ask
for further enlightenment concerning
our faith
SSOURI.-Another New Church.
The cause in Missouri is certainly on
the up grade. Since our last Convention
in October, '95, the Universalists of
Ashley and Bowling Green, two points
within few miles of each other, have
purchased building from the Presby-
terians and have fitted it up for our use
at a nominal cost.
At Atlanta the friends have actually
entered upon the construction of new
church and are working hard to that
end.
And now at Windsor, on the south
side of the river 20 miles south of Seda-
liza on the M. X. & T. Ry, we have pur-
chased building worth $500 to $500 for
5000 and lot worth $500 within block
of the main business street for 1925,
which will be moved on to our own lot
and repaired in April. Does this indi-
cate dying faith? Missouri is all right.

Rev. j. A. Stoner supplied the pull
pit at Indianapolis Feb.2.
Rev. II. Lewellen preached three
evenings at Meir. He had good audi
ences considering the bad weather. He
will return there. He also preached at
Bluffton Jan. 10, to good audiences for
so short a notice. This church should
have regular services. We hope they
will.
"A series of meetings were com
menced at Muncie Feb. 2. The pastor
will be assisted by Rev. Frances E.
Cheney. U. S. Milburn and J. B. Fosher.
The meetings will continue possibly
three weeks. The oriental play, "Jeph-

House Jan. 90 and 80, was a great sue
cess. The church cleared $3.50.

meetings at this place beginning Mon
day evening January 81. and closing the
following Friday night. when the COM
munion service was observed and five
united with the church. Notwithstand
ing the roads were very bad, the congre.

a strong hold here-it is becoming "a hot

assault on Fountain Park. Bro. Pitkin,
preached from two texts given him viz:
John K. 16, and Revelations Xxx. 1925.

FERENCE.
Miss Jessie w. Giffen. Secretary of the
Northeastern Ohio Y. p. @. u. Confer
ence, informs us that the annual session
of that organization will be beld with
the Union at Ravenna on February %.
The Conference is composed of all
Unions in Murray. Western Reserve and
Huron Associations. We had the privi-
lege of attending the session held at
Kent last year. and trust that the meet

profitable. Engagements elsewhere will
prevent US accepting invitations to be
present.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
A lady formerly of Ohio, now residing
in the West was recently addressed by
lady belonging to the Episcopal church,
as to the time when she would have her
baby baptized. Her reply was, Not
until l can have it done in my own
church" The lady replied, Il do not
think that it would make much differ
ence." "Oh, yes it Does" our Sister re-
piled; "Your prayer-book says distinct
ly this when a child is baptized in the
church it is child OF the church." and
this emphatic stand for principle ended
the matter. Would that all isolated Uni.
versalists could be as firm as this mother
was, when they are urged to unite with
some Partialist church without adopt
ing IFS faith. II Democrats or Prohibi-
tionists were to unite with the Republi-
can party, on such plea as this, they
would be denounced as hypocrites.
