MINNESOTA Anoka.- The society
here has not for years been 80 active as
now. There will soon be goodly num-
Der added to the church membership.
Twenty one came in on Easter, which
alone is the largest yearly increase the
church has ever enjoyed.
The Ladies' Aid Society alternates
with the Y. P. G. u, in holding socials
every two weeks which are greatly pro-
noting sociability both in and out of
the society Incidentally they are such
fertile source Of revenue as will enable
the society to make some needed i'm
provements on the church building and
grounds as soon as the weather will
permit.
The Y. P. @. o.. besides holding soci-
ais, have arranged for series of picnics
at the lakes during the summer. 1t is
an inspiration to step into their devo-
tional meetings. They have an average
attendance of over thirty.
The Minnesota State Convention to
be held here. is being prepared for, and
it is hoped that this will be the best that
the State has ever had.
The pastor has been giving Sunday
evening lectures which are proving quite
popular. notably four on Reading" and
four on Evolution" Never before in
the history OF the society have even
ing services been 80 successful. The
morning services are well attended. On
a recent occasion the local order of
Knights of Pythias attended in body.
The interest in the sermon was so keen
that it was published in full in the
Anoka Herald, causing much favora-
BILE comment. Company "B" of the
State Militia are to attend soon. and on
Memorial Day the G. A. R. will be pres

whole soul and energy into the work.
At business meeting of the society
just held it was the unanimous wish
that Mr.. Tillinghast remain with them
another year.
Tuttle Church, Minneapolis, made
an offering to church work, Easter. The
communion was observed and five mem
bers added to the church.
MISSOURI.-La Monte.-As the first
Sunday in April was Easter, and as we
have no service in La Monte on the first
Sunday, but meet on the second and
fourth Sundays, therefore we observed
Sunday. April 18th as Easter Sunday.

The church was beautifully decorated
with potted flowers and special anthems

pastor. The sermon was appropriate tc
the occasion and the service was i'm.
pressive throughout. One whole family
was received into the church ,-father
mother and two children.

CHIcAGO.-St. Paul s.-Dr. Garfield
took for the text Of his sermon on Sun
day morning, April -, Romans viii. Is.
He began by saying that it is worth
more than money to know that "all
things work together for good to them
that love God;" and the affirmation is,
1--WE know" There is nothing here OF
apnosticism. Every word Of this text is
emphatic. The eternal law OF work is
unacceptable. All things work. And
then. all things work together. This Is
nm affirmation of harmony, and the nec-
essity that exists for all things, from the
molecule to Deity. He then referred
tn the Uniyersalists as optimists, who
hal;ave evil to be transient, and coed
permanent. Christ renovated the world
with hope. Yet the Joy OF life is so
hardly purchased, that we want a key
to the strange enigma. The key TO
every thing is longing and love for it.
Those who love good. see good.
The above sermon WAS inlohoo" w W
;ntroductory to GA short history OF Ire
ond love on the earth" under which
title DIR. Garfield proposes to preach
series of spring sermons, illustrating his
hal;ef that the living God has, from the
beginning Of life on the earth, been pro.
excessively incarnating himself IN all
forma Of organic existence, from the or
o;nal cell to the highest expressions OF
human enterprise, and that the story Oh
Genesis is not yet ended.
The following sub-titles will give
norol IDEA of the line of his investiga-
tions: :.
/ The Infancy of Life-where was it
Graded?
. Love at first sight, and what be-
comes of it.
2 Driven from the old home, and
wanderings over the earth.
a. Modern tragedies OF the spirit.
S. Still working upon superstruct-
ure wherein may ioyfully dwell the SOUL
with all it's infinite possibilities OF future
good.

THE IOWA CHURCHES.
ELKADER.


The Universalist cause in Elkader
has this winter been receiving a new
impulse. Rev. Henry Gillespie, State
Missionary for Northeastern Iowa, ar
ranged series of meetings for us last
February. Several ministers were pres
emit who helped on the good work. Rev.
Matthew Wing. of Buffalo Center. gave
us two weeks of sermons which were
enthusiastically appreciated. Our towns
people, through him, have had great
spiritual awakening.
Rev. Mr.. Wing gives such happy in
terpretations to the Scriptures that
even those who had grown to have al
most contempt for the Bible, now open
it's pages with intense interest.
Many who had not entered church
for years have been induced to hear
him, and, having heard him once, they
are sure to come again. On Sunday.
March %, Mr.. Wing gave US two excel
lent sermons. On Easter Sunday his
subjects were: 1.-THE Risen Christ" and
1.-THE Personal and the Ideal Christ"
A call has been given to Mr.. Wing to
speak for us semi-monthly during the
coming year, and we feel that we are
greatly privileged in securing the SER
vices of so able minister.
1t is Mr.. Wings intention to lecture
before different societies during the
coming year; and we bespeak for any
church who may secure him for course
OF lectures, most enthusiastic recep-
tion by the people.

MARGARETTA AND ATTICA.
Miss Martha A. Bortle. Assistant FL
nancial Agent of Buchtel College, is
pushing her work with accustomed vigor,
and everywhere is arousing new inter-
est in our College and at the same time
is assisting in developing UNCONVENTIONAL
interests. She recently visited Margar-
eta and Attica. or her work at the
former place our correspondent says:
miss M. A. Bortle was with US and as
sisted our pastor, Rev. Arthur Roberts,
in the Easter services. Every one was
delighted with her address and delivery
She also gave an original Easter poem
for the young people in the evening.
which helped very much, as our Union
meeting had special program. Miss
Bortle called upon some of our people in
their homes and received substantial re-
sponses for Buchtel College,"
Regarding her visit to Attica, Miss
Bortle says in note written Sunday
evening. April u: 1--WE have had very
large meetings here. Tonight closes
them. The people, who were somewhat
inactive toward the College. responded
finely to my call to-day and expressed a
new interest in it's behalf"
Last Sunday Miss Bortle expected to
spend at Ravenna, but we know she had
no difficulty in arousing interest there,
for Rev. Andrew Wilson was the chair
man of the committee to whom the re-
port of the committee on education
made at Springfield in 1866 was referred,
and in 1868 he presented report which
was unanimously adopted. recommend
ing that We proceed to once to estab-
lish a UNCONVENTIONAL school with an
endowment of not less than $4,000. :"
Since that time Bro. Wilson has been
true friend to the College. and never
was more deeply interested in its well
fare than at present.
THE OHIO CONVENTION.
In answer to inquiries why the Ohio
| Convention will meet week later than
usual, we would state that in order to
avoid conflict with Decoration day. the
Trustees. for several years, have fixed
the time between the first and second
Sundays in June. The same arrange.
ment was agreed upon this year, and as
the month begins upon Monday, il
throws the Convention to the following
week.. We are glad that is SO, for it will
enable many young people who are
either students or teachers to be pres
emit who otherwise could not attend. II
is none too soon to elect delegates and
arrange for their attendance. Every
church should have full quota of dele
gates. equally divided between the sexes
and to insure attendance. should pay ir
whole OF in part their expenses. for it ID
nothing but just that those who are rep
resented, should at least share expenses
with the representatives. We have {
number of churches which have MOI
been represented for years and conse
quently but little interest is felt BY
them in general work of the Church
We anticipate large and successful
meeting and as one of the features o.

THE law of Christ does not offer us a
panacea for the effects of sin; it is help
ing humanity in the spirit of the man of
Galilee. Human life implies the bearing
of many burdens. The religion of Jesus
does not exempt us from these, but the
Christ spirit will enable US to bear them
in a manner almost to render things
sacred, and which makes character all
divine.-Rev. James Houghton, Iradi-
ana.

SPRING REQUIRES

That the impurities which have accumulated in
your blood during the winter shall be promptly
and thoroughly expelled If good health is ex-
pected. When the warmer weather comes these
impurities are liable to manifest themselves In
various ways aud often lead to serious illness
Unless the blood is rich and pure that tired
feeling will affict you, your appetite will fail and
you will find yourself "all run down." Hood
Sarsaparilla tones and strengthens the system,
drives out all impurities and makes pure, rich,
healthy blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one
true lood purifier and the best spring medi-
cine. Be sure to get only Hoods.
