THE OHIO CONVENTIONS.

We write the above caption in the
plural advisedly. The past week in
Ohio was Convention Week and a
week of conventions. 1t witnessed
the gathering of five organized bodies
representing the Universalist Church
in as many departments of its organic
life. Attica, Seneca county, was the
place of meeting and the time occu-
pied was from Monday evening, June
l, to Friday, June 5. The five meet
ings we're as follows: 81 The State
Ministerial Association; (2) The
Woman's Missionary Alliance; 81
The State Sunday-school Conven-
ton; a. The Ohio State Convention
of churches; (5) The Young Peoples
Christian Union. Whatever may be
thought of the wisdom of holding
five conventions in one week with the
necessary result of continual strain
on the interest and attention, it must
be admitted that the various SER
vices at Attica were not in the ma
ture of a burden upon the dele
gates or visitors. Each of the five
meetings had their own special points
of interest and were attended by not

gan some weeks ago and threatens to be-
come a serious complication in Euro.
pean affairs, possibly making another
European congress necessary and def
mite understanding Of the powers as re-
CARDS Turkey and its Christian sub
jects in Armenia and Crete. The
present instruction is partly politi
cal and partly religious as to its
causes. Perhaps the feeling between the
Christian population in Crete and their
Mohammedan rulers is not more bitter
than elsewhere in the Turkish domin
ions; but Crete has always been uneasy
under Turkish rule, and the revolution
lists seem to have seized upon the present
occasion as suitable one to reopen the
struggle for annexation to Greece, or to
be taken under the care of some other
European power. The time. judging
from the outcome of the Armenian
troubles. is most inopportune, as Russia
has practically taken Turkey under
her protection and is not likely to do
for Crete what she refused to do for
Armenia" 1t is claimed by the French
papers that British intrigue is respon-
sible for the disturbance. English ioru-
mails assert, on the contrary. that the
Russian and French consuls on the ISL
and have encouraged the instruction
in order to lay the foundation for the
French occupation of Crete as an
offset to the British occupation Of
Cyprus. In the present condition Of
Europe and the distrust and jealousy Of
contending powers, even this apparently
insignificant disturbance may be at
tended with serious complications.

had to wait, so large number desiring
to participate.
At the speakers tables sat, Governor
Altgeld. Mayor Tunnicliff, President
Finley Knox Hon. Sam. Kerr. Col.
Clark E. Carr, and others. President
Nash acted as toastmaster, and after the
material part of the banquet had re.
ceived attention. introduced the various
speakers with appropriate sentiments.
Gov. Altgeld's response dwelt largely
upon the necessity and benefits of edu-
cation. He dwelt upon the need for
Illinois to lead in this as in other direc-
tions. He especially commended the
work done by the smaller colleges. and
expressed the opinion that their SER
vices to the commonwealth exceeded
that rendered by the very large institu-
tions.

in the other responses. DR.. Lees re-.

ably his last appearance as member of

of usefulness in his new position. In the
evening from to 10, President and Mrs.
Nash received the students and friends
at their home and very enjoyable even
ing was spent. The Phi Delta Theta en-
joyed an elegant dinner and reunion at
the Harsh Memorial Hall at which they
added S1400 to their building fund. The
Sigma Nus held their reunion and ban.

only their own representatives, but
by fair proportion of all the Con-
vention people. The program of the
week was rigidly adhered to through
out. One convention did not inter
fere with the other; each occupied its
own time and was "run" according
to the timetable. In this particular
the Attica conventions were notable.
The weather was also generally
favorable throughout the week. One
thunder storm on Thursday night
and a heavy rainfall while the exer-
cises were in progress alone dis
turbed the worshipers. The pleas
ant little village was well adapted
to a week of conventions. There
were no city attractions to divert
the attention of the visitors. The
peace and serenity of the beauti-
full June days were undisturbed by
connections of any kind. The parish
and its pastor, Rev. Arthur Roberts.
evinced a generous hospitality in
lodging their visitors, while three
hotels supplied dinners and suppers
at reduced rates.
The attendance was larger than at
any recent Convention of the Ohio
Universalists. About 125 visitors
came by railroad on the certificate
plan. This number with those that
came by private conveyance and the
parish and village attendance fur
nished an audience that filled the
Universalist church to over-fowing
the first two days. The services from
Wednesday evening to the close OF
the Y. P. G. U. were held in the opera
house, the church not being large
enough to hold the people. The in
terest manifested in the Conventions,
attested by this large attendance, was
highly encouraging to our old Ohio
friends. Evidently Universalism in
the Buckeye State is in thriving con-
dition. The Attica Conventions will
not suffer in comparison with any
session of these State bodies held
during the last decade. Whatever
may be true of Universalist conven-
tions in other portions of our country,
the Ohio Convention and its auxili-
aries shows no diminution of inter-
est. Ohio still remains a marked
State for large and enthusiastic Uni
versalist conventions. We find it
impossible to report the Conventions
in the present issue of The UNIvER-
sALIsT. Next week we shall give an
outline sketch of the various services
and record of the main items of
business transacted by the five Con-
ventions during the week.
