CLEVELAND.
Rev. Carl F. Henry, pastor of our
church in Cleveland, delivered sermon
December Is, on worldly Ways" which
was published in several daily papers,
and created quite sensation in that
city. The Cleveland Leader heads it's
report as follows: WORLDLY Ways; a
minister declares the church has fallen
into them. Position and riches are put
before principle and righteousness"
We regret that we have not room for
the entire report, but quote the closing
paragraph which shows that our cause
in Cleveland is represented by a man
who is not afraid to utter his convictions
in regard to evils, though cloaked in
garments of assumed righteousness:
1.-THE church has fallen into the worldly
way of putting position before principle;
riches before righteousness Conform
ing to public sentiment. which she is
fearful not to conform to, the church,

into the procession and is following the
crowd toward the altar of Mammon and
away from God. 1t cannot serve them
BOTH The fair held by the ladies of
All Souls Church, December IL, was
decided success. Notwithstanding very
stormy weather reduced attendance.
The net proceeds were over one hundred
dollars. The Y. p. @. U. has fine
concert under way, and the Alliance is
always at work. The Rosemary club
served Christmas supper to the Sun
day school, December 81. The Sun
day-school was to be recognized De-
cember %, and the Pullman lesson
leaves we're adopted. New members to
the church are in prospect.
JAMES CARLTON AT WORK AGAIN.
The fraud. who represents himself as
the nephew of some preachers, and son
of others; also as theological student,
who is selling Universalist books "to
pay his way is at his work again. He
recently visited Kent, where he repre-
sented himself as nephew of Rev. S. p
Carlton. and presented letter of en-
dorsement said to be written by Rev. ].
F. Rice. Being short of funds he want
ed to borrow little money to take him
to his home in Clyde, and succeeded in
borrowing" some which as usual he
failed to return. He has been published
several times, but continues his nefari
GUS work. He does not confine his bold
thefts to Universalists alone. We again
state that the Universalist Publishing
House has only one agent, Bro. Thomas
/. Moore Let all readers Of The UNI
vERsAL1sT be careful in making loans"
to strangers, even if they do seem to be
we'll acquainted with many Universalist
preachers. We hope yet to hear of the
arrest of this rascal for forgery. etc.
MRS. NJ. A. UNDERWOOD.
This venerable member of our church
at Kent, died from paralysis, December
5. Had she lived until December 90
she would have reached the four-score
milestone in the journey of life. She
joined the loved ones who had gone be-
fore, on the sixty fifth anniversary of
her wedding day. She and her husband,
Freeman Underwood, we're both pioneers
coming with their parents from Eastern
States in childhood when that part Of
Ohio was a wilderness. Both were
members of the Universalist Church for
many years, and we're subscribers to our
UNCONVENTIONAL papers, Tine Glad lid
ings," "Star in the West, ""UNIvERsALIsr"
and Convention Circular" From per-
sonal experience we can testify to her
kindness of heart, and her fidelity 10
her friends. and her devotion to the
church. Her daughters, Mrs. Mary j.
Underwood and Mrs. Alice Foote, will
walk in her footsteps as supporters of
the faith, which she SO dearly loved.
The Missionary Alliance of Kent. at its
meeting on December Is, adopted reso-
buttons of love and respect to the memory
of one who had been faithful in all rela-
tions of life.
KENT.
A correspondent at Kent reports that
Festival of Days" sale was a success
despite discouraging circumstances,
which occurred at the time. The con
gregations at public services have in
creased under the ministrations of Rev.
H. X. Riegel, whose services are grand
and inspiring. The pastor and wife ex-
pected to spend the holidays with friends
in the East. DIR. A. M. Sherman and
wife are spending the winter in Pasa-
dena, California. The doctors presence
at church is much missed, but all hope
he is enjoying the invigorating atmos-
phere of the golden land.
THE LATE PROF. W. d. sHIPMAN.
The intelligence of the death Of Prof.
w. d. Shipman has brought sadness in
to many hearts. We knew him for many
years. and always found him kind and
