The recent Christmas sale of the Mis-

SOME Y. P. c. U. NOTES.


Most encouraging news comes to us
from the Galveston church. The Y. P.
q. U. was organized there on Nov, Is
with thirty members. five others having
joined since. Our correspondent writes
that our Union is very popular there;
that the young people from Methodist
and Baptist families are wanting to come
into our Union. One social has been
held, very successfully, and another en-
tertainment is being planned for the
holidays. This is surely a model Union.
We have heard, indirectly, of the
organization of a Y. P. G. u. at Nc
Cordsville. This makes four new unions
since our State Convention.
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving
the Y. 2. @. us Of PendIeton and Nun
Gle held the second union meeting. a
sequel to the inspiring union service of
October 4th. The Muncie Unioners.

our Pendleton Union. and conducted to
the church. uniting in Sabbath school
and church worship. A very earnest
and united people are our Pendleton
Universalists. 1t was an inspiration to
be among them. The union meeting.
