fson Square Garden.
New York, Aug. 12.-Tom sharkey is to
box four rounds with former Champion
John L. Sullivan at the Madison Square
Garden on the night OF August 81. 1t
will be friendly bout in all that this
word implies. '.Parson" Davies engineered
the affair.
The show will mark the "fare well" an
pearance Of Sullivan, just as all OF the
big fellows shows have since Jim Cor.
bett won fight from him. Sharkey has
no idea Of risking the reputation he made
in about ten minutes by tackling dan.
gerous men. So his agreement with Cor
bett, which means that neither of them
shall box dangerous men for some time,
comes in handy on both sides.
Sharkey will not arrive here, according
to his present program, until the day of his
"gon with Sullivan.

The Coming State Convention-AppeaI of
the Secretary for Large Attendance.

Our State Convention is to meet at
Delphos Oct. Oil. We need your at
tendance and support. Our number is
small at best and if the times are hard
we who can do 80 ought to be the more
ready to attend and to help, knowing
that many who would like to do 80 will
be unable.
There is work now in progress in the
State that needs the cooperation of
every Universalist and needs it now, so
if unable to attend the Convention we
urge you to send to the General Secre-
tary Cent-a-Day pledge paid up for a
year in advance or else to make sub
scription to our State Convention direct
A few of our faithful friends have
taken Cent-a-Day pledges and our State
is beginning to receive returns from
these through the General Secretary
one-half the proceeds. Can we not have
one hundred of these pledges taken this
year? Surely we have more than that
number Of believers scattered over the
State.
One hundred Cent-a-Day pledges
would insure the erection of another
church in short time, and would open
the way to greater success.
Our State Convention could help sus-
tain preaching now in several places if
the friends would remember their con.
tributions.
Ii unable to take Cent a Day pledge
please send some amount, however small
it may be. to the State Secretary before
the Convention.
We desire very much to receive the
names and addresses of every Universal :
ist in the State that we may supplement
our list and correct it. The want of a
good list has cost the Secretary many
hours of useless letter writing and has
lost US considerable in postage in the
past year.
We cannot notify you of our meetings
nor give you full reports of our work
unless you will give us your addresses.
Please let us have more hearty CO.
operation during the whole year as we'll
as larger attendance and support at
the Convention.

And it is from this class. that Partialist
churches, whose ministers conceal their
barbarous doctrines, and talk about
Gods Love" draw recruits; for those
who are thoroughly instructed in Uni
versalism, in word and deed. will not be
hypocritical enough to unite with
churches whose creeds teach what their
own minds and doctrines condemn. To
insure greater prosperity for Universal
ism, We need more doctrinal preaching,
a greater love for the Universalist
Church, and more of the missionary
spirit, whereby the Church and its doc
trines may be increased in numbers and
efficiency.

She visits Mansfield every two week..
On other Sundays she will respond to
special calls, and will lecture during the

Rev. U. S. Milburn delivered the
sermon at the installation of Rev. G. E.
Jones as pastor of our Mason church,
Sunday evening, September ID.
The attendance at the Converse
Grove meeting, August 80. was very
large, about fifteen hundred people
being present during the day. Rev. U.
S. Milburn's sermons were in the line of
distinctive Universalism.
"A large congregation was present at
the opening service Of our Cincinnati
church. Rev. U. s. Milburn's sermon
was on God Revealed in Nature" The
discourse was prepared while sur
rounded by the beautiful scenery of
northern New York.
Our Evansville church cleared forty
dollars serving meals at the county fair.
This was good result, considering that
they had to compete with four other
churches. and last year had only one
competitor. The attendance at the fair,
was not as large as usual.
We regret to learn that Rev. j. F..
Rice, of Coe Ridge, is seriously indis.
posed from carbuncle located near the
spinal column, which has confined him
to his room since the last of August
and caused intense suffering. The car
buncle has been lanced and at last re-
port he was resting somewhat easier.

Ll.INOlS.-LaGrange Subur
ban News of Wednesday. Sept. 16. says:
Rev. DIR. Cantwell preached an eloquent
and inspiring sermon at Masonic hall
last Sunday morning. 1t was thorough
ly Christian. 1t was eminently spiritual
yet notably practical. He set forth the
doctrine OF moral and religious progress
in contrast with the inertia of supposed
sanctification and perfection in the flesh
in the strongest light. The words of
Jesus and of Paul call for eternal vigil
ance and activity in the virtues of the
kingdom. The great apostle unceasing.
iy pressed forward. He never reached
heights except to find greater heights
beyond. The Christi IN must not SUD-
pose that he is converted into any state
which calls for no further effort. He
must always press forward toward a
prize which is higher than his accom-
plished attachments. Christianity is a
system of education and eternally there
will be something to learn concerning
the things of God, of Christ, and OF the
duties which belong to ourselves. Such
were the doctrines which the eloquent
Doctor delivered in glowing language
and with fervent spirit.
Miss Marion Stiles presided at the
organ with special acceptance, and Mrs.
Byron Carpenter. fresh from her vaea
ton, delighted the congregation with
her accomplished leadership and solos.
1t was good to be there.

good graces of those with whom she is
