MINNESOTA LETTER.
MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS.
The material interests of the churches
in this city have of late been forced I'M
avoidably to the front. The far reach
ing effects of the "hard times" which
visit some directly at first but touch all
eventually, have manifested themselves
in reduced salaries and empty pastorates.
From some of the leading and other
orthodox churches there has been a
simultaneous and remarkable exodus of
ministers for one or another assigned
reason; but all subsequent to the com
mon experience of "cut." 1t would be
unfair, perhaps, to assume that any Of
these brethren fled from the city when
invited to share in it's universities; but
the fact remains that many parishes Of
sister denominations in this city, which
have been compelled to pass recently
through trying experiences, find them
selves without the services of a devoted
pastor when they need them most. The
Methodist churches constitute note
worthy exception to the mentioned
condition of things, and one of the adj
vantages of their system is herein appar
emit. For despite the vicissitudes of life
and the frailty of clergymen they all
have pastors and seem to be flourish
ing.
In the face of such facts, it is cheering
to report the excellent condition of the
Universalist churches here. They have
not been sighted by misfortune, but the
general spirit and interest of their peo-
pie has remained wholesome and strong.
CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER.
This parish recently gave remarkable
proof of its resources. A few Sundays
since, after some preliminary canvassing
among few parishioners, the pastor
Rev. DR.. Shutter, called for subscrip-
tions from the members of his congre-
CATION; and in short while succeeded
in raising $4,000 with time to demolish a
floating debt which had been one of the
unavoidable and unwelcome progeny of
the hard times. Both pastor and people
were pleased with the ready and gener-
GUS response to this appeal.
DR.. Shutter has commenced his second
winter course of Sunday evening lee
lures. According to the local press he
considers his morning service as spec
tally for worship, and the evening more
particularly for instruction and educa-
ton. DR.. Shutters lectures are always
popular and largely attended, especially
by young men. The general subject of
his present series is evolution"
WEEK DAY LECTURE.
One of the pleasant features of the
church life this winter has been series
OF weekday lectures to young people
given by some OF the most prominent
citizens in Minneapolis, including ex-
Mayor W. H. Eustis, Senator j. I. Wy
man, Father Cleary. president of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Society, Hon.
F. NJ. Nye. and the pastor. The Sunday
school now has an enthusiastic superin.
tendent in the person of Prof. Sanford,
the teacher OF Latin in the Central High
School.

HOW TO MAKE THE OENT-A-DAY
PLAN SUCCEED.

The communication printed herewith
which came to me entirely unsolicited, is
alike encouraging and suggestive. 1t
represents the Cent Day plan in ia
vorable light of experience. 1t shows
its successful working, under conditions
such as ordinarily exist in Universalist
parishes. 1 call attention to its state
ments, believing that they may prove an
Indictment to similar efforts on the part
of others, and that the endorsement
given to the Cent-aDay method will
prove helpful to its wider and more sue
cessful application. I quote from his
letter as follows:
"And now a word as to the Cent.a-
Day plan: 1t is a great surprise to me
that our churches, large and small rich
and poor, have not adopted it. I fully
believe that it needs but presentation
to the people by the pastor to be accep-
table; certainly know it was thus with
my people.
IL think we have taken fortytwo Pied
ges, and all I did was to ask those who
we're so inclined to sign these pledges.
l told them that we paid, each of us,one,
two or three cents day, to learn from
the newspapers how bad the world is;
and we certainly ought to be willing to
give one cent day to make it better. I
used no special urging, but on the other
hand, told the people they must decide
for themselves. The offering was freely
made then, and l do not believe anyone
has been sorry for it since.
ut cannot be said that our people give
away what ought to go to their own
work. for they support their own church
literally. Nor can it be said that they
are pressed too much to pay large am
cunt; it is tacitly understood rule with
US, that no one shall be unduly urged in
anything relating to parish or mission
contributions.
my people are not wealthy; most Of
them are wellto-do but hardly more so
than in most village parishes. I have
yet to hear one of our people complain
that we are doing too much, or dole
fully drawl out the poor, miserable,
much-worked, worn.out old excuse for
evading duty. by saying, Charity be-
gins at home This parish is an exam
pie Of the fact that those who are not
narrow in the matter of support to out
side work, are most liberal at home.
The Cent-a-Day contributions from
this parish have not made my work
harder, but easier; and so believe any
pastor would find it who would try the
plan. No one is burdened with it, and
the missionary revenue is increased
wonderfully by its use.
l wanted to bear my testimony to this
plan, with which am delighted; and I
am sure that any other minister who
will try it, if he desires to see our mis-
sion work prosper, and if he is willing to
go out of his way little in order to
help the denomination, will be as de-
lighted as am"
If our people, ministers and laity, men
and women, throughout the country,
could be imbued with the spirit indi-
Gated by the foregoing letter, there
would be no trouble about results, what
ever might be the plan adopted.
The Cent-a-Day method, as l have
said SO frequently, has immense posi-
bilities; it only needs to have the hearty
and general support of Universalists to
make it grandly productive.

Rutland has been having the santa
|ry condition II its public school build
ings investigated and a report pass
been presented showing a rather bad
state Of affairs.
Claus Olandt, Jr., OF New York
city, secretary OF the international
committee Y. M. G. A., has engaged
rooms in the Landmark block in
| White River Junction for secretary,
who is to be located there for the con.
venience Of Vermont and New Hanp-
shire associations.
Two Young men, both Of them sons
Of Vermont pastors, have received
fellowship appointments from Chica-
90 Theological Seminary, which gives
them the opportunity for two years
study abroad. They are Frank q.
Ward, son of Rev. e. J. Ward, for
merly pastor for some years at Grafton
and afterwards at Hyde Park and
now residing at st. Johnsbury. The
other is Benjamin S. Winchester, son
Of the late Rev. w. w. Winchester,
who was pastor in Bridport at the
time his son was born. Mr.. Ward
was graduated at the University OF
Vermont and took his theological
course at Chicago. He proposes to-
devote special study to the Greek New
Testament, at Halle, Germany.
The annual encampment Of the de-
partment of Vermont, Grand Army
Of the Republic, will be held in Rut-
land February IL and IL. The head
quarters will be at the Bardwell. The
first day will be devoted to the read
ing Of the reports Of the officers and a
camp fire, and the second day to the
election and installation Of officers.
COMMANDMENTS Chief |. N. Walker of
indianapolis, Ind, VIII be present
and deliver an address at the camp
fire. The Woman's Relief Corps will
probably hold its annual encampment
in Rutland at this time. Among the
mentioned for department
commander are Norman w. Puffer
of Bennington and Col. Joel G. Baker
of Rutland. Both have received the
Endorsement of their respective posts
and either one would give good |
business administration. Chances
seem to favor the latter gentleman as
being the comrade to be honored.
The famous chancery case Of the
Security banking company Of Hart
ford, Conn.,, against the Bennington
Battle Monument Association. de-
cision against which was rendered
last week by ex-Gov. Dillingham; as
referee, has caused much interest
through Vermont. The suit was
in the interests OF Charles
NJ. Bliss, formerly secretary Of the
association. The amount
set up in the bill was about $4,000,
Tor money expended by Mr.. Bliss in
Inc interests Of the monument associa-
ion. Gov. Dillingham; held that the
services rendered by DR.. Bliss were
rendered voluntarily, and that the
arge expenses incurred by him were
without the authority of the associa
ion. The work done under the spe-
,iiic authority of the association has
been paid for, and the association is
lnder no further obligation to re-
nunerate Mr.. Bliss. The suit was
brought in May, 1890. The associa-
ion offered Mr. Bliss 1000 in settle-
nent but as he claimed to have ex-
pended $4,000 more than had ever
been paid to him, he was never will
ne to accept any such sum. Excep-
ions have been freely taken on both
ides during the progress Of the trial,
md the opportunities for reviewing
he case by the supreme court are
,reat.
