Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescriba BILE torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side Of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract

home was given up, and a few
weeks found the family, consisting
of the father, mother, two brothers
and sister younger than Alice,
settled in small village miles
away from their former home. The
family were dependent on a small
income derived from the remnant
of the mothers fortune. This was
but a fraction Of the amount to
which they were accustomed. In
short time another change was
made to less desirable location in
city where the boys would fiud
employment and Alice might be
able to get small pupils. The boys
we're successful, but Alice found
the market overstocked with young
girls anxious to teach small chill
dren, and she soon discovered that
knowledge CT the kindergarten
system was an absolute necessity
to obtain pupils. This she did not
have, and had no means of acquir-
ing. She became almost discour-
aged with the struggle.
Her mother, never very strong,
gave evidence of breaking down
under the strain imposed upon her
by the limited means of the family
and the effect of their misfortune
on her husbands mind. He saw
no peace, because he blamed him
self for his misfortune, saying over

Alice had been trained by her

Many times these proposed duties
had interfered with her girlish
pleasures, and she felt even nov
that her time might have been bet

One day she came in from call

Mrs. E. L. Sherwood, of Washington,
writes in the Banner, of Hon. Sidney
Perham, of Maine, Ex-Governor of that
State and for many years member of
the Board of Trustees of our General
Convention: "In no one thing has Mr..
Perham been more loyal and true than
to his religious convictions. He en-
braced the faith in the universal Faith
erhood Of God, and universal brother
hood Of man in his teens, and has let
his light shine ever since. He is one of
the strong men OF the church. Here, as
in the political arena. his place was seen
to be the first place, leader more than
follower, although he never fails to
stand by the position taken by the
General Convention-as to church polity.
He was long President of the Maine
Universalist Convention-and he says:
For the past fifty years there have been
more Universalists in positions of trust
in my native State, and fewer criminals
from Universalist homes than any other
denomination which is fine comment
on the ethical teachings of an often
slandered body of Christians. by their

DEATH OF MRS. F. THOMPSON

A great affection has befallen Rev.
j. f. Thompson and the Akron par
ish in the death of Mrs. Thompson
on July %. She had been long
time sufferer from Bright's disease and
has been confined to her bed most of the
time since the first of May. Her age
was thirty nine and she had been the
wife of Mr.. Thompson for nineteen
years. During her residence in Akron
she has won all hearts by her kindly
spirit, her ready helpfulness, and her
cordial good will. Her funeral was at
tended by large number of friends and
the afflicted husband went with the
body to Rush, N. Y, her former home
where he married her. The sincere SYM
pathy of many friends is extended to
him and his son as we'll as to her brothers
and sisters. &C.

such chair has long been realized both
within and without the school. We have
assurances of sympathy and co-opera-

that the results will themselves vindi-

Executive Board to place Superin-
tendent or Missionary in the field
from September next. An adjourn
ment was taken at 1915 to 2 Pm.
THE AFTERNOON.
The missionary address of DR..
Nash was the special order when
the Convention reassembled at 2
o'clock. The annual excursion of
the commercial men of the vicinity
brought hundreds of people to the
grove in the afternoon, and large
delegation attended the service. DIR.
Nash adjusted himself and the adj
dress very handsomely to the in
creased congregation from this
source. The travelling men heard "Mis-
sions" explained in such a manner as
to make distinct impression that all
were missionaries in sense, who were
engaged in anydirection in work to
make the world better. A good deal
of wholesome teaching was sum-
med up in the thirty minutes allotted
to the address.
Business was resumed when DIR.
Nash closed. The report of the Com
mittee on Fellowship, Ordination and
Discipline was presented by Rev. j.
M. Getchell, Chairman. 1t recited
facts which have been already pub
lished relating to transfers, ordina-
tons, etc. Elections were ordered and
resulted as follows:
Officers Elected.
President-HOn. o. b. Ayers, Des Moines.
Vice Presdent-Jacob Closz.;
Tfeasurer-S. j. Oldfield. Mitchelvlle.
Secretary-W. 7. Hatswell, Red Oak.
These officers were elected by bal
lot, the Secretary being ordered to
cost the Convention ballot for all
except the Secretary. There being
more than one name proposed for
that Office, the Convention balloted
in due form and Mr.. Hatswell was
elected. Rev. T. E. Dotter was chos-
en- as the preacher of the Occasional
Sermon in 1897 and Bloomfield as
place of meeting.
Report from Parishes.
The closing hour of the Convention
was devoted to hearing the reports
from parishes. These were in the
main encouraging where the parishes
had regular preaching and were pros
ecuting their Christian work. Among
the parishes submitting encouraging
reports were Charles City, Bloomfield,
Cedar Rapids, Webster City, Mar.
shalltown, Mount Pleasant, Mitchell
vile, Boone, Usage, Manchester,
Waterloo, Otranto and several others.
The dormant churches of the State
need revival, and from the reports
made by visitors, there is no good
reason why the coming year may not
witness the revival of several of these
parishes and their restoration to the
active list. The services of the in
coming Superintendent will be help
full to this end.
These reports closed the active
proceedings of the Convention. Be-
fore the adjournment Drs. Nash and
Cantwell offered congratulatory and
encouraging remarks, the usual reso-
lutions recognizing hospitality were
unanimously adopted, and with the
singing of the doxology and the
benediction by Father Gowdy, the
Chairman, DIR. E. H. Harris, declared
the Iowa Convention adjourned to
meet at Bloomfield, Davis Co., in
September, 1897.

SATURDAY MORNING.

looked lonesome in the large audi
forum. When the hour had passed,
the later arrivals increased the con-
gregation to respectable proportions,
and when the Convention was called
to order at 10 o'clock, the largest at
tendance of delegates and visitors
during the meetings was present.
The temporary Chairman having
been called home, DIR. E. H. Harris,
of Grinnell, presided during the re-
mainder of the Convention. No bust
ness appearing, there was a call for
volunteer speakers, and members of
the G Convention and visitors responded.
The general topic of discussion was
the necessity of aggressive work on
we'll defined UNCONVENTIONAL lines,
under competent leadership. The
faithful services of Mr.. E. P. Sinclair,
the Secretary of the Convention, had
been recognized with warm and earn
est words of approval, and testimo-
NAL was decided on as mark of ap-
probation of the services of this
faithful officer. 1t took the form of
a gift of money and generous offer
ing was taken up and placed in the
hands of his pastor, Mr.. Getchell,
for presentation to Mr. Sinclair. The
Convention, by vote of Mr.. Reyes and
at the suggestion of DR.. Cantwell,
was represented in this testimonial
by a direct appropriation from its
funds.
The morning hours were proftably
and very happily spent in addresses
on the general work. Drs. Nash and
Cantwell, and Messrs. Reyes, Glib,
Hurlburt, Oldfeld, Dotter, Gillespie,
were the speakers.
1t was a warm and earnest session,
with the emphasis placed from the
beginning on the necessity of more
active parish work and more vigor-
GUS employment of the resources of
the Convention in the line of church
extension. The result was the adop-
ton of a resolution instructing the

DIR. NASH'S ADDRESSES.

During the Convention DR.. Nash,
of Lombard, gave three special ad-
dresses. The first was on "Educa-
tion," delivered on Thursday evening;
the second on Temperance Reform"
delivered Friday evening, in the aud
itorium; and the third, a missionary
address, on Saturday afternoon, also
in the auditorium. These addresses
were the main features of the public
services of Convention week. They
were, each in their way, characteristic
of President Nash; fervent, logical
and magnetic. We give following

Two weeks ago the Record
announced that the Sacramento School
Of Design, conducted by the California
Museum Association in the City Art

ton of a new class under Chris. Jor-
gensen of San Francisco, the water
color artist, and that the success of
the scheme would depend upon the
number of pupils that could be Sc
cured.
The matter has had the especial and
energetic attention of Miss Mamie
Crouch, through whose exertions the
necessary number of pupils for a be-
ginning has been secured, and accord
ingly the class will begin its work Sat

Professor Jackson will so arrange
that the new class will not interfere
