One thing is remarkable; wherever inter
est is active, there our people take
church papers. Mrs. Quinby writes or
this point. I'm every instance where the
people take the UNCONVENTIONAL papers
and know what is going on, and the pas
tor is abreast of the times, in sympathy
with the efforts being made on various
UNCONVENTIONAL lines of work, and he
has the courage to lead, cheerful res
ponse is always receiveds when any fea-
ture Of work is presented" Thus one
sees how valuable every sheet coming
from our presses are as feeders of public
sentiment and educators.
MRS QUINBY.
The President went from Minneapolis
to Chicago to attend the meeting of
the Ladies Aid of st. Pauls Church.
From thence she travelled east to Penn
sylvania, where visits had been arranged
for at Church of Messiah. Philadelphia
Reading and Towanda, the banner Mis-
sion Circle of the State.
A lively little Mission Circle has been
born in Knoxville. Tenn, and several
devoted Universalist women have &C.

MISSION CIRCLE NEWS.
The Mission Circle of San Francisco
meets the first Sunday in each month
as they have no regular church services
intending in a measure to make the
Circle to some extent supply the defici
ency until the church is revived again
A good local work worthy Of all common
dalton.
At the April meeting of the Washing
ton D. c., Mission Circle, after the usual
routine of exercises set down on Formu
la and Topic Cards, the members in.
dulged in parliamentary drill under the
leadership OF Mrs. Williams. Another
good idea to take into consideration
since women have begun to take part in
societies. The one thing we women do
not know as we'll as our brethren yet. is.
how to transact business according to
parliamentary usage. To sustain our
dignity. and to maintain our usefulness a
little study in that direction will not be
amiss.
THE LAST CHANCE THIS YEAR.
All the Pacific Coast pledges are not
yet paid in. and as it is only very short
time to the first of May we hope all who
have those pledges in hand will send
them in at once that the Treasurer and
Secretary may finish up their annual
reports in good shape with every dollar
subscribed paid up. Dear friends: Let
us all pull together, and the load will be
lifted.
THE LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT WORD
OF ALL

in print the Association will have entered
upon new year, and the annual meeting
have become a record of history. To miss
that gathering for which the good sisters
of Stamford, Conn. have so carefully
prepared for u.s. will be the mistake of q
lifetime. Every Universalist woman
who can afford the pleasure and priv

ford, ought to make it point to be
there. So generous have the members
of the Stamford Circle been, they in.
vite us to come day in advance. on the
afternoon of Tuesday the 18th. so as tc
attend the reception in the church to
meet the National officers and delegates
and get acquainted.
Now. while we do not attend conven.

much the better. EVERYTHING that nro
