other year they will begin the erection
OF new church. Sunday night I or
ganized Y. P. @. U. under very auspic-
ious circumstances, and l feel certain
that with the excellent help in Chris
tan Union work, which Miss Bortle is
capable of giving, judging from our ex-
perience with her in this department in
Akron, this Union will be a power in
establishing Universalst church 10
that city,
ELDORADO.
A correspondent from Eldorado writes:
"The Universalist Sunday School Asso-
citation of Darke and PEBBLE counties
mot at Palestine. Saturday, October "a.
Olly two schools, viz, Eldorado and
Palestine, were represented; but we had
a splendid meeting. Several topics re-
lating to Sunday school work we're dis
cussed. and we think all we're very we'll
paid for attending.
"Onr Y. P. G. U. at Eldorado is doing
nicely. We still hold meetings twice each
month, and our people are still earnest
as ever in their work. Our Alliance lie
still working; we recently purchased
new lamps for the church, and now are
working for an organ. We intend Civ
ing Thanksgiving dinner and supper.
Rev. Henry K. Riegel, our industrious
pastor at Kent, gives us some cheerful
items: The ladies of the church held an
autumnal festival the last week in Oc-
tober. Another missionary point has
been added to the prospectus" of the
Kent church-that of Darrowville. The
Cuyahoga Falls Mission under aus
pices of Western Reserve Associ ition)
will be pushed, if possible, after the cleo
ton. Bro. Regel says: 1T will delight
the friends who are anxious to be recog-
nized by the other churches, to learn
that the Winter Night College, origin
ating with the Congregational church,
has been organized, with the pastor of tt Q
Universalist church as president One
member of our church is on the Execu-
tive Board. The roll of members exceeds
one hundred. The interior of our church
edifice has been cleaned of its coat of SCOT
and is consequently more inviting in ap-
pearance internally"
DUDLEY.
The recent meetings held by Rev. j.
r. Carpenter at Dudley resulted in the
addition of two excellent women, both of
whom had been previously connected
with the Methodist Protestant church.
Another short series of meetings will be
held, beginning Monday evening, Novem-
vember 9. Rev. r. N. John, of Lon don,
will be present the first four days. We
hope to hear that the meetings will re-
suit in bringing the church somewhat
nearer condition Of permanent pros
perity.
FIRST BELPRE.
Under the care of Rev. j. r. Carpen-
ter, the old and reliable church of First
Belpra is in very healthy condition.
The membership are united. and loyal
to all UNCONVENTIONAL interests. To in
crease the zeal of the membership. lii
such thing is possible) and to gather
in the harvest that is ripenIng, Bro.
Carpenter will hold series of meetings
beginning Monday evening. December 7,
during which he will have the assist
ance of Rev. e. A. Coil. UNITARIAN of
Marietta. and Revs. Carrie w. Brainard
and Henrietta G. Moore. Bro. Carpe inter-
says: 1--WE intend to put in full week,
and hope we may arouse things"
AKRON.
In business letter, from Mr.. A. B.
Tinker. we find the following cheering
words regarding affairs in our Akron
church:
I'VE called for subscriptions after the
services, Sunday, October IS. and were
overioyed to find that in ry short
time we had 81, $50 pledged for the next
year, and quite large number of good
men have not yet been seen. So far
every one is we'll pleased with our pas
tor. Rev. Ira A. Priest, and the pros.
poets of the church have improved ma
terially since he came"
COLUMBUS.
Church affairs in Colum bus are
moving along smoothly. The congrega-
tions are good. The interest in the
Sunday-school is we'll maintained. From
the Dispatch we learn that on Sunday
evening. November l, the church was
crowded, the occasion being "the first Of
a series of song and praise services
which will be given there. The music
was of very high order, and the sing
ers. without exception acquitted them
selves witt great credit. 1t is the inten-
ton of the church choir to have service
of praise on the first Sunday evening (
