The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-02-22

all were delighted. The subject was
1.-THE Battle is the Lords" and Miss
Lucy A. Freeman, the Secretary Of the
Alliance, read an admirable paper, treat
ing the subject in her own inimitable
way. The writer followed with paper
applying the subject to the battle
against the drink evil.
Here we would call the attention Of
Rev. VIM. Tecumseh Stafford, of Foun-
tain Park, that the "Harris Bill'' was
killed in the Ohio House of Representa-.
tivee, where Universalists are an un-
known quantity. Rev. @. P. Nash, be-
ing present, favored us with an informal
talk, and suggested as our next subject;
prayer: What relation does it hold to
our triumph over evil?" Our meeting
February 9 was not 80 we'll attended,
owing to a meeting being held at the
Valentine Theatre, in interests Of Arme-
mia. But our meeting was enjoyable.
Papers were read by Miss Freeman and
the writer, and Rev. G. P. Nash followed
with an address, to which we listened
with great pleasure and profit. At the
next regular meeting the question for
discussion will be: Can Man Defeat
the Will of God?" Our number has
been increased by the coming to US OF
Mrs. A. B. Sipes, from Bluffton, Ind.
We publish the foregoing to show
that in the important city of Toledo
there is nucleus around which we
trust there will grow up in time strong
Universalist church. Rev. VIM. Tecum-
sch Stafford does not reside in Fountain
Park, for which we are glad. He signed
the death warrant of his influence when
he published in the Western Christian
Advocate. December 25. 1895, his ire
markable" report of his remarkable re-
vival at Fountain Park" On the day
that remarkable publication appeared,
he had brother instantly killed in Ken
lucky while under the influence of
strorg drink. Great indignation exists
throughout the country on account of
his ISLANDERS. which were refuted by the
writer in THE UNIvERsALIsT. and the
Champaign County Democrat. and many
are investigating Universalism for the
first time. So, good sometimes comes
out of evil.
JAMES CARLTON IN TOLEDO.
The fraud of many names, and who
is nephew to so many Universalist
preachers, recently called on Bro. George
Thunderstorm. and made substantially
the same same pitiful plea that he did
to Rev. w. F. Crispin, but did not sue
coed in securing "loan until he could
Martha Moore, and told her that he was
a nephew of Rev. j. F. Rice. and in
quired if she knew Mr.. Rice. OF course
she did, and told him she had no money
for him. Bro. Thunderstorm says: HE
is the most accomplished liar 1 ever
met" We repeat again, what has been
published before, that the Universalist
Publishing House. Western Branch, has
but one agent in the field, Bro. Thomas
I. Moore. and he is mot studying for the
ministry" as the fraud always tells.
