left to soOthe and comfort the aged father who
is In very feeble health. In the year 1876, Mrs.
Wilson. with her husband, joined the Univer-
salist Church, and up to the time of her death
was most firm believer in its teachings. She
not only believed in Christ, but lived the
Christly life so perfectly that the entire COM
munity came to regard her as foster mother to
all who needed her help. She was woman
who believed in mot letting her left hand know
what her right hand did" She went not abroad
to find opportunities of usefulness, tut FRI m her
pure, quiet home life she sent forth the benign
influence of Der high ideal with such power as to
touch the whole community

member. The last sad rites were conducted at
her late residence, her pastor, Rev. H. L.
Thornton, officiating.

March &c, 1896. in White Heath, Ill. She was
married to Darius Converse March 10, 1885, Six

she has since resided. She and her husband
united with theUniversalist Church prior to the
war. Mr.. Converse died on March 81, 1869. Mrs.
Converse has always been glad to be counted as
firm believer in the ultimate restoration of all
men. and remembered well in her closing years
the trials which the early Universallsts had to
endure for their believing. The writer recalls
with pleasure a conversation had with her the
past summer In which she recOunted her early
experiences as member of our church. 1t had
been her wish that she might be able to hear
the Gospel preached in the new church being
built in White Heath. Daily she inquired about
the progress of the work and listened eagerly to
the description of the interior construction
brought by the grandchildren.
The funeral services were held in the church.
which was ready for occupancy the day after
her death. A large circle of friends and &C.
quaintances were present, indicative of the love
and esteem in which she was held. James AL
vim Clark conducted the exercises, after which
the remains were started for Union City. Ind,
in charge of Bro. Ed De Land. A good ne ghbor
always, and kind and loving parent, she will
be greatly missed by her friends and relatives.
Having lived such a long and faithful life. it
seems as though she was entitled to the swell

earn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a conslitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The

The Hot Springs of South Dakota.


The following letter from Mr.. w. M. Tyson
Commander of the Pennsylvania Soldier and
Sailors Home. at Erie, Pa. written on his re-
turn home, after stay of some weeks at Hot
Sprin gs, South Dakota indicates that the
Springs are in fair way to become one of the
leading health resorts of the country:

EEAR SIR; Among the many who have been
benefited by treatment at the Hot Springs.
s. D.. and have experienced courteous hospital

failed to send reports at time Of writing
this paragraph, and more than that
number are in arrears in payment OF
quotas. Our report for the year will
close with last of this month, and we
would be glad to receive every report by
that time; also as many as possible OF
the quotas. The amounts requested
by the Trustees are not imperatively de-
manded, but the making of contribu
ton to the Convention is a constitu
tional obligation. We are aware that
financial matters are not in the best
shape throughout the country, still we
know of no active church that is not
able to make some demonstration of
fidelity to the Church at large. Last
year we had the pleasure Of reporting
receipts from the largest number of
churches we ever had. We hope to have
the same privilege this year.
A GOOD SOLUTION.
The Proctor & Gamble Company have
reached an excellent solution of the
conflict between Capital and Labor, by
the proft-sharing plans adopted over
eight years ago. After deducting from
the net earnings fair per cent on the
capital invested, and paying salaries of
officers, the surplus earnings are divided
among the employees, in proportion to
time they have been employed and the
wages received. The plan has worked
admirably and a strike" in that estab-
lishment could not be aroused by any
walking delegate Of labor organiza-
ton. 1t is said the savings" from ma
terial formerly wasted through careless
ness, goes far towards making the
amount divided. The days when re-
ports are made, are observed as holidays,
and after reading reports, the day is
given over to intellectual and social en-
joyment. The last Dividend Meeting"
was held February 3, and addresses ere
delivered by DIR. Washington GLADDEN.,
of Columbus, on "the Relations Of Capt.
tai and Labor" and Hon. Benjamin
Butterworth, on Higher Citizenship"
The addresses have been printed and
perusal would be advantageous to all in
terested in the improvement of the
laboring classes.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
The series of meetings at Plain City
we're postponed in order to secure the
assistance of DIR. Rexford, Rev's L. D.
Crosley and r. N. John. The meetings
will begin on April - and will continue
through the week.
March Is was busy day for Rev. O.
G. Colegrove. He preached in Blan-
chester, and received one member, max
ing in all eleven additions recently. In
the afternoon he went to Edwardsville.
In the evening he preached to good
congregation at Milford, which closed
his work there.
Owing to the completion of the Mil
ford Circuit by acceptance OF Rev. j. A.
Stoner, of the passionate, Rev. 0. G.
Colegrove. of Blanchester, will have the
second Sunday of each month to give to
some other church in Southern Ohio
desiring a pastor. Churches without
pastors have an excellent opportunity to
secure minister who will work wisely
and earnestly.
