now that Judge Campbell will have
no opposition in his own party for
the Judgeship Of this Circuit, which
Office he has held for eight years
with credit to himself and satisfac-

that Judge McWhorter, Of this place,
or Thos. G. Mann, Of Summers, will

the floral bloom which his loving care
evoked, and nothing was more touching
than to see this calm and quiet man un-
bend to the little children. He loved
them. and they knew it. and returned his
affection with response as ardent and
as deep as if they had been his very own.
Often he would set out for his Office
with his hands full of flowers that would
be left wherever he knew there were
sick men, women or children.
An eminent actor, when leaving the
English stage. expressed his desire that
he might have some space in his active
life between the stage and the tomb, so
that Like the Roman in the Capitol he
might fold his mantle ere he fell" No
such space was granted to our beloved
brother. He fell upon the field of ac.
ton, and his face was to the front. The
disease which finally terminated his life
was peculiar form of tuberculosis; and
though he had been somewhat delicate
and fIail for some months, none but the
physician knew its hopeless character.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Swallowed home in Freeport by
Rev. Holmes Slade. to whom DIR. Hilton
had long been warmly attached, on Fri
day. November 6. Interment was had
at Madison, Wisconsin. in Forest Hill
Cemetery, on the next day, Rev. Mr.
Simonds, of th at city, conducting very
tender service at the Kollock burial lot.
And thus has passed sanity soul,
sanity not according to medieval no.
tions. but really and truly saint of the
nineteenth century. Mrs. Hilton and
two brothers constitute the immediate
relatives that are most sorely hereaved.
But his loss is the sorrow of wide cir.
Gle of friends, and real bereavement to
many heart that has learned to know
and love his knightly character.
He is not lost or ceased to be, though
his mortal form is seen no more in these
streets OF time. He lives not simply In
the reverent love OF those who knew him
best, not merely in the sum of the NOR,
forces that mould the future. but he
lives in his own redeemed and glorified
individuality in Gods forever. Such a
life. luminous with its moral beauty and
spiritual splendor. is an all-sufficient an
swer to all question and doubt. Such a
life, with it's truth, integrity. character
and love. is not blotted out when the
body crumbles and wastes into dust. We
may not be able to understand all the
processes of immortality, but every
noble life is an irrefutable argument for
its reality. And 80 with the angels of
God he takes his pace among those who
are still ministering spirits. and no
doubt is engaged in larger and vaster
works OF inspiration and moral upbuild
ing that ever entered into his magma
tion while on earth.

DEDICATION AT ATLANTA.

The Universalist church recently
erected at Atlanta was dedicated to the
service of God, Sunday, November Is, at
the morning service. under most favor
able auspices. The following program
was carried out:
l. Instrumental duet; 2. hymn by the
choir; 3. Scripture lesson and invoca-
ton, Rev. G. r. East, of Kar sas City; A..
hymn; 5. Sermon. Rev. DIR. G. E. Nash,
of Galesburg. ILL.,, text, I. Timothy i. IL.
1.-THE glorious Gospel of the blessed
God"
Then came the offertory service. DR..
Nash in a short address stated the OBJ
jects and aims for which the church
was erected, after which the whole
amount of debt was pledged. The
structure cost about 81 500 and the
amount subscribed was $780, leaving
a balance of 5000. The dedicatory
prayer was then delivered by Rev. j. A.
Baldridge. of La Plata. Rev. John
Hughes next delivered the sentence of
dedication and explained the belief of
the Universalist Church according to
the Winchester Profession.
The congregation then sang the dedi-
cation hymn. from the pen of Mrs. Ida
Reyner Martin, of Ethel. Mo-, Secretary
of the State Convention, and the SER
vices closed with the benediction.
1t was very happy occasion and now
the Atlanta Universalists have pleas
ant and convenient house of worship
which we hope will be filled from Sun
day to Sunday with devout and conse-
Grated worshipers.

The Missionaries and Armenians.
Mathematician

Mr.. Hopkinson Smith is in evidence
again in the New York Herald as a de-
fender of the Sultan and calun niator
the Armenians and the missionaries. His
argument is that the missionaries them
nian revolutionists who foment rebellion.
That is evidence that the missionaries are
honest men, not that the massacres are
justifable. Tyranny in Turkey, Cuba or
Russia breeds rebels and anarchists, but
that is no excuse for wholesale murder of
defenseless multitudes.

NOTES FOR NOVEMBER.
Extracts From Correspondence With

When on her way to Leavenworth
where Mre. Quinby expects to spend the
winter. by special invitation she stopped
over in Chicago to attend the November
session of the league of the Universalist
Women's Association of Illinois. which
was convened in the Church of the Re.
deemer on the 5tb. Mrs. Quinby thus
writes of that and other interesting
meetings she attend while in Chicago:
when / arrived it was showing but l

preparing for the luncheon that ac-
companies these occasions, for there are
eight parishes of Chicago and suburbs
that constitute the league, and its social
feature is not an unimportant one.
lowing to the snow there we're not so
many present as usual. but those pres
sent received my message very cordially,
the subject of the hour being "A Talk
on Church Missions.'
MRS. Bancroft, of the Woodlawn par
ish. preceded me with paper giving
history of missions in our church, begin
ming with the inception of the w, G. A.
in which she was not quite up to date
as to our development. but as followed
l supplemented her statements with the
story OF our new departure, the revision
of our constitution, present policy, our
missions and resources. Her paper was
remarkable, as she has only been with
us for few months. having come over
from the Unitariane. Converts are
usually interested and jealous in their
new departure, else they would not be
converts. There we're only two pastors
present. Would there had been more, for
in our women's meetings they would
hear some things of advantage to know.
and. we want their presence and influ
ence to make the work effective in the
parishes. | am sure good influence
must go out from these periodical
gatherings of our earnest women work
els, who are beginning to realize as never
before there is wider field than the
home parish, which can be remembered
without reducing their love or efforts
for it.
"After the papers were presented they
were discussed, and reports of mission
work done in each parish, with the vari-
GUS methods of doing the work.
"Baving been invited to Woodlawn
and Oak Park to address the Ladies'
Aids of those parishes, on Friday the
9th / visited Oak Park, and Wood
lawn on the 18th. At both these places
/ received very cordial welcome, and
much interest was manifested in the
national work and it's organization Thus
my prayer for better understanding Of
our work seems to be stirring in the
hearts of these women. and the time
cannot be far distant when we shall each
increase our usefulness and privileges by
being banded together. Several person
ally expressed to me their conviction the
