years ago and has won high rank among
educational institutions of the West.
The denominations usually select their
broadcast, most profound and scholarly
men for college presidents. and such a

yesterday was a magnificent enlarge

John. The discourse sparkled all through
with gems of thought set in language
most elegant and forceful. DR.. Nash is

MEETINGS AT REDDlNG.
Rev. j. E. Reyes recently held series
of meetings at Redding of which we have
pleasing accountfro Bro ]. s. Graves
of that place. Most of the sermons were
OF doctrinal CT aracter, explaining the
views of Universalists. and were highly
instructive. Bro. Graves further says
1--WE need more preachers who can ex-
plain and defend Universalism, especial
ly in places like this where there are
many enquirers." 1t is we'll known to
our readers that Mr.. Reyes is fine sing
er and he exercised his gifts throughout
this meeting to good advantage. On the
last evening he gave musicale, assisted
by some Of the local talent. There were
also two declamations rendered very
finely by Miss Harding, who is only ten
years old. Gall was a grand success"
says Bro. Graves, land we hope for more
such meetings for the betterment of
mankind
