March "a, and it was found on reading
the names signed to the articles of union
that fifty one had joined This is a
parish organization, and elected officers
for the year and appointed committee
to canvass for funds to erect church.
Services are to be held each alternate
Sunday. If the people succeed in erect

church in this community, A ladies' aid
society will be organized and large
number have agreed to join with them.
This movement will be under the
charge of Revs. Martha and Leon P.
Jones for the present year.
Seneca.-The Ladies' Society of our
church gave Ten Talents Social" last
Thursday evening. and at that time
S14180 were turned into the Treasury.
This money had been made by the indi-
vidual members from the investment of
ten cents each, and also of a great deal
of labor.
The Ten Talents" grew in the hands
of the workers during the period allot-
ted-about three months, till one lady
had S2l SO clear, and another who was not
able to work but had agreed to match
the highest. turned in the same amount.
Others made $40 some made 81 and the
least reported 81 20. Candy. popcorn
balls, doughnuts, cakes, pies, potato
chips, articles of wearing apparel and
other things too numerous to mention
were among the articles in which invest.

This seems to be an excellent plan for
working societies to adopt.

DUBUQUE.


1t is reported that Bro. Clark, of the
Ryder Divinity School. has been preach
ing for the friends here. We earnestly
hope that it is so and that all were
pleased-so pleased that arrangements
will be made for settled pastorate and
a revival of out-and-out Universalism in
that important city. We should have
there one of the strongest and finest
churches in the United States.
WEBSTER CITY.
The pastor, Rev. DR.. Amos Crum, has
but recently recovered from a spell of
sickness. His parishioners have been
alive and active. They came before the
public, by way Of entertainments. with
three operas which called out large au-
diences and much praise for the excell-
ence of the acting. For some time
past Vesper services have been held
one Sunday evening in each month,
and they have proved of surprising inter
est to our church people and the public.
People have been turned away, unable
to find vacant seat. The music is Gu

Monday finds US in Monticello, the
county seat of Piatt; wait for connec-
tions gives us time to make hurried
call upon one of our friends, and he de-
mands that we preach in his city. so as
we already have engagements for the
next four nights, the Methodist church
is secured for Friday evening, and leav-
ing our good brother to advertise the
meeting we are soon on our way to
Decatur.
The Trustees of this parish have de-
termined to refresco and refit the
church building. Services will be resum-
ed in May, and the settlement of pas,
tor attempted. This furnishing and
progressive city should furnish fine
field for constructive Universalism. Our
cause has some earnest and devoted
friends who are Willing to work under
many discouragements, and with the
right leader they will go on to success.
Evening Services.
The same evening finds the mission
airy speaking to a rural congregation in
the school house at Sangamon Station.
Services are held here two evenings and
at Oakley, three miles distant, on the
next two. At both these points there is
much interest in our church, and on
Friday morning, subscription paper is

of those who will push it to successful
issue. In addition the names of many
are secured who are ready to support
regular services. Another visit is prom
ised when it is hoped to effect All organi-
zation. The young people also appointed
a meeting for the next Sunday to organ

On Friday retrace my steps to Mon
ticello, where a good congregation as
sembled in the M. E. church to listen TO
our message. On Saturday visit is
paid to Urbana. The interest in our
church here has been greatly increased
by the labors of Bro. Dinsmore; large
congregations continue to greet him and
the desire to retain him is unanimous.
Sunday at P. NJ. another sermon is de.
livered in the opera house at Monticello.
The closest attention greeted the speak
or, and the encouragement received is
such as to lead me to think that with a
little more effort regular services could
be established in this substantial city.
Your missionary has now spoken nine
times in as many days, and he returns
home for days rest. to be spent in
catching up with his correspondence.

Rev. H. Beckett, of McCordsville, is
assisting the pastor in a series of meet

over Easter.
The Universalist choir at Brookston
is the best in town. They went by in
vitation to Chalmers to sing for union

complimented. Since the ladies papered
the church at cost of $50 it is the pref
test church in town. This church de-
sires to entertain the next Convention.
The Secretary desires to acknowl-
edge the receipt of contributions from
Collamer and Roam churches through
their pastor. Brookston church sent
their dues some time ago. These church
es are to be commended for their prompt
ness. Mr.. Wesley Golf, of Adams, sent
one dollar for State work, being the
first contribution this year from an ESQ
lated Universalist.

OUR DENOMINATION.

Our church belongs to the Universal
list denomination. 1t makes much less
difference than formerly what a church
calls itself, barring the one comprehen-
sive and sufficient designation Christian
II it is radically. genuinely that, the de-
nominational signature is not considered
as it once was. Still, most churches
cling tenaciously to their denomination
inheritance for three good reasons,
d. Those churches that have tried
INDEPENDENCE, standing alone, have
found out the weakness of separation.
David Swing during all his later minis
try felt isolated and deeply regretted the
necessity that cut him and his church
off from UNCONVENTIONAL fellowship. In
union there is strength.
(2) Every church has materially de.
veloped in some UNCONVENTIONAL connec-
ton and would suffer irreparable loss
apart from it. 1t would cut itself loose
from its past, which is always disaster
if that part is not wholly reprobate. All
healthy life is continuous, unbroken
growth out of that which has been unto
that which is and is to be.
49, Every denomination stands for
some special idea. Ours. we think. has
been in the van of the movement toward
a simpler, rational. archaeological Cos
pei.
We led the movement against the ex-
cesses of the doctrines of punish ment,

literal hell-fire, total depravity. bodily
resurrection, blood atonement and
others. Our church could not exist apart
from the denomination that has stood
for these great reform ideas. We rep
resent here the general life and thought
which gives that denomination extern
sion and power throughout the United
States.
These reasons. then, are strongwith US
and when we reflect that a denomina.

STATE suPERINTENDENT's LETTER.

1t may interest your readers to know
that the Illinois Superintendent is at
work. 80 send you report of his
first experience in the field.
On March End l met with the Execu.
tive Board in Chicago, ard received their
instructions. On Tuesday at the invita-
ton of Mrs. Ellis. attended a meeting
of the ladies of st. Paul's Church. and
managed to interpolate few words con-
corning the State work into discussion
upon art, with perhaps more OF zeal than
discretion. However, we we're very
kindly received, and start into our new
work feeling that the sympathy of these
ladies will be with us in our efforts to
extend the Universalist Church. On
Wednesday a conference is held with
the Executive Board of the Illinois
Woman's Association, a visit is made to
the Secretary of the Convention. from
whom valuable information is received,
and with words of friendly encourage
.ment from bim start is made for home.
Farewell to Leroy.
The next week is spent in settling up
matters of business with the Leroy par
ish. Sunday, March Sth, the farewell
words to my congregation are spoken,
and pastorate of nearly five years du.
ration is brought to close. We lay
down the charge with many pleasant

people. Thay have made the pastor and
his family feel that their lines have fall
den in pleasant places. Arrangements
have already been made for the supply
of the pulpit, and the services go on with
out break.
Our First Tour.
Wednesday. March 10, I start on my
first tour. A change of cars at Farmer
City, with wait of an hour. gives ms
the opportunity to visit good brother,
who pledges five dollars for the Conven-
tion work. and expresses his desire to
help build Universalist Church in this
city. 1t is fiourishing place of some
1000 inhabitants. where we have some
friends, and the day may come when our
brother shall have his wish fulfilled.
But we can not stop now. and another
short ride brings us to Clinton, where a
consultation is held with the officers of
the church. and arrangements com
menced for holding series of meetings.
The immediate work in hand here is the
purchase of lot. which will be consum.
mated as soon as the most available site
can be determined upon.
Whiteheath.
Whiteheath is next visited; the new
church is almost completed and by a
little crowding of the work, it is made
ready for service upon Saturday evening
and Sunday. Three persons unite with
the church on Sunday evening, and the
friends are much encouraged by the in.
terest taken and the thought of having
a church home. Plans for a series OF
meetings and the dedication of the
church are discussed. This will take
place in May. at which time a parish
will be organized and steps taken to es-
tablish regular preaching.

OUR OHIO CHURCHES.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Many people. because they have a
pretty fair understanding of the doc
trines of Universalism, and because Par
tialists do not preach endless hell with
the vehemence of former days, think
that the day for preaching distinctively
doctrinal sermons has passed. This a
sad mistake. and it is doing our church
a great injury. We believe in preach
ing practical sermons, and ministers of
no other church can preach such SER
mons so successfully as can those of our
church, for all doctrines Of Universalism
can be made practical and conducive to
the welfare Of mankind. We care not

the church. The people here have en-
gagged the services Of Bro. Miner for one
year. Regular services will be held
twice a month instead of once, for six
months of the year. beginning with
April.
The Sunday school has been kept alive
through the winter, for the first time.
The Y. P. G. U. meetings are interesting
and instructive. The young people here
take an active interest in their Union.
It's membership is increasing. and with
the number of young people in this sec
ton we feel that it will continue to in
crease.
Important School-house Meetings.

the Thum school house last Sunday,

fourth time Mrs. E. L. Newport has
been to this school house, alternating
with the Methodist and Baptist preach
ers from Morris, Ill. Preaching is held
every two weeks and a union Sunday
school is held every Sunday. This is a
new field for Univerealist preaching, but
Mrs. Newport has met with cordial re-
ception and expressions of earnest ap-
proval.
The school is situated about six miles
south of Morris and eight miles from
