OUR IOWA CHURCHES.
From Correspondents.

THE SHENANDOAH MEETING.
The first meeting of the Southwestern
Iowa Association of the Y. P. G. U. was
held in Shenandoah, Saturday, Sunday
and Monday May %, "a and %. The
opening sermon was preached Saturday
evening by Rev. M. L. Estey of Clarinda.
Sunday at IL A. M. and at 3 p. M. DR..
Nash of Galesburg preached to large au-
diences. The Association bears debt
of gratitude to the doctor for hie words
of encouragement to the Y. P. G. u.
workers.
The Mondays session opened at A. M.
with a praise service by Miss Nellie
Hurlbut, of Clarinda. The opening ad
dress was delivered by VIM. F. Stipe. of
Stanton, the District Superintendent.
Officers were then elected for the COM
ing year as follows: W. L. Hattswell of
Red Oak, President; Miss Addie Lancey
of Shenandoah, Vice President; Miss
Mary Reynolds of Shenandoah, Score
tary; and Miss Nellie Hurlbut of Clarin-
da, Treasurer. The Association decided
to hold its next meeting in Villisca the
last week in December. the dates and
program to be arranged by the executive
committee.
The afternoon session was opened by
song service led by Rev. Mr.. Estey of
Clarinda, paper on "a Practical Appli
cation of Longfellow's 'Evangeline' by
Miss Hurlbut of Clarinda, and sermon
by Rev. j. E. Reyes OF Mt. Pleasant, on
"The Unity of Mankind" The evening
service was platform meeting with the
following speakers: w. L. Hattswell, ".
F. Stipe. Mr.. Estey and Mr.. Reyes. A
recitation by Miss Nellie Hurlbut closed
the meeting.
In many ways the Shenandoah meet
ing was success. Delegates were pres
emit from Malvern, Clarinda, Strain,
Hastings, Red Oak, Stanton and Essex,
and every one went home with deeper
love for the faith and a better under
standing of the Y. p. @. U. work. The
enthusiasm born of the Shenandoah
meeting will surely make itself felt in
the State Convention and from there to
the National Convention. Let US harness
more of the youthful zeal in the cause
Of Universalism and with methodical
work we can flood the country with the
Gospel of good news.

THE CYCLONE.
| know some of our friends want to
hear from our church with regard to the
disaster which came upon our little city.
Two families of our church lost their
homes and most of their personal eff
fects. The church lost it's belfry (but
no other damsge) and slight damage
was done to the parsonage. Some dam
age was also done to most of the town
property and everyone feels the financial
loss. Much aid has been given the suffer
ers but all will not be sufficient to make
good their loss and the homes utterly
destroyed we're the homes of the poorest
of the town.
Our people have been active in relief,
both as to work and goods and money
showing to some extent at least that
Universalism is worth preaching.
The weather has been quite unsettled
and heavy rain made quite food on
low lands, May 81, doing great damage
to our Kelly friends nine miles from
here, who have crops on low lands.
Regular services are held there, Rev.
Martha Jones supplying the place most
of the time. All bridges being out on
the road Sunday, l walked down the
the railroad to meet the P. M. appoint
ment. LEON p. JONES.

it only remains for me to say that the
Spokane church is deserving of. and en-
titled to assistance. 1t can be given
and no one be the poorer. Like shot
gun, in a scattering way, we do little
giving for missionary purposes but there
is lack of system. We complain of our
General Convention when they are un-
able to give us what we ask, but we do
not stop to consider that our General
Convention is what we make it. and
that it cannot disburse moneys unless
we supply it with funds.
We should educate ourselves in the
line of missionary contribution. l re-
ceived an object lesson in Oregon last
fall. l travelled one forenoon in company
with several Presbyterians en- route to
their synod. They told me of their work,
and later l obtained the figures. Omit
ting fractions the Presbyterians of Ore
gon gave last year S115 per capita
for foreign missions and S1.45 for home
missions. Oregon people are not espec-
tally wealthy, nor are Presbyterians ex-
ceptionally SO; but they think enough
OF their religion to wish to spread it and
they are systematic in their endeavors.
Compare their gifts with ours.
Our Convention asked for twenty
cents per capita for Japan, and we hear
that missionary work begins at home"
We are asked for contributions for home
work and we say: I'VE need all our
money in our own State"
l know of parish that refuses to
give to it's State Convention because,
I'VE need our money in our own
church" met brother recently who
had been obliged to leave his location
because his people wanted the money
in their own pockets.
If the Genital Day plan received the
hearty support Of our people it would
net enough for our present needs.
Ten cents per capita would yield suf-
ficient money for my territory for the
coming year. We could locate pastors
in the weak places and build church
or two.
Our Spokane friends have in their cir
cular outlined plan whereby aid can
be rendered and'no one burdened. Good
friends follow the lead of Bro. Grier and
let US have your help for the "brave
church" that it may be placed npon a
sure foundation. A.MB.
