The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-18

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. time ago
it was decided to purchase pipe organ
for the Universalist church and series
OF suppers and entertainments to assist
in paying for it have been inaugurated
by the societies of the church. Inc
evening of April 3. the young ladies OF
the church served magnificent supper
which was enjoyed by large crowd.
The affair was big success in every
narticular.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-18

taken by the Woman's Alliance for Mis-
sionary Work, and in the evening one
young lady was received into the church.
We think this good days work for
PIattsville." 1t affords us pleasure to
state that Bro. Blackford has accepted
the pastorate of the church. This is in
accordance with our theory of having
churches near each other having the
same pastor. He now has charge Of
Conover and Plattsville churches, which
are quite convenient to each other.
THE NATIONAL SECRETARY.
Rev. Harry L. Garfield, Secretary of
the National Y. P. G. u, has been en-
gagged to work nine days in Ohio, begin
ming at Ravenna, April IS. He will hold
Y. P. G. U. rallies wherever he goes.
Let him have hearty reception from
his friends in the Buckeye State"
PAY NO ATTENTION TO IT.
Universalists in Ohio have been flood
ed with an anonymous circular in re-
gard to Buchtel College, and we have
received many inquiries concerning its
purport. Our advice is to pay no at.
tention to it whatever. for many of it's
statements are false. If its author is an
enemy OF the College, he may rest as
sured no harm will be accomplished. If
a friend, he has chosen the wrong way
in which to demonstrate his loyalty to
the College.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
The Secretary and Rev. John r..
Carpenter will hold meetings at Dudley,
Noble County. April "a 26.
Rev. o. G. Colegrove preached at
Olive Branch Church April II. We
trust to hear that he will become pastor
there.
We have received from Mr.. r. H.
Whitman, business manager of our
Church in Akron, S22.19 on amount OF
annual quota.
Rev. Lolita D. Crosley reports splen-
did meetings at Taylorville, Ind, March
%. She will make another visit there in
the near future.
Rev. Henrietta G. Moore supplied
our Springfield pulpit. April II. Rev.
J. II. Blackboard will next Sunday, and
Rev. r. N. John on April 20.
We again state that the annual
meetings of State Convention and auxil-
iaries, will be held at Attica, Seneca
County, June 9-12. It is none too soon
to choose delegates. Programs will ap-
pear in the Convention Circular forMay.
BY the settlement of Rev. j. A.
Stoner as pastor OF the Milford Circuit,
Rev. r. N. John, of London, will have
one Sunday to devote to some other
points. and churches desiring regular or
special services can address him at Lon
don, or the Superintendent, at Fountain
Park.
An earnest member of st. Paul's
Church, Milford, writes: I'VE feel very
grateful to Rev. o. G. Colegrove, for his
good work while preaching for us. and
trust his lines may fall in pleasant places.
He and Mrs. Colegrove are such willing
workers and helpful friends"
After a year Of faithful service, Mr..
Fl. M. Fowler has retired as manager of
of Good Tidings," the paper published
by the Y. P. G. U. of All Souls Church,
Cleveland. Mr.. H. P. Blake has been
elected his successor. "Good Tidings"
is a sprightly little paper, and the editor
Rev. Carl F. Henry. always has some
thing good to say.

and many of their friends were out in
large numbers. and pleasure reigned
supreme. An interesting program. just
long enough to be entirely entertaining,
was given in the early part Of the even
ing. The success OF this club is assured.
This club has found large place in
the heart of the minister Of our society by
it's generous act in making some much
needed improvements in the vestibule Of
the church, in the way Of decorations,
new gas fixtures and mattings. The
entrance to the Sixth street door has
also been decorated anew. While the
work adds to the beauty of the church,
it is also an evidence of its increasing
prosperity.
OsSIAN AND OSBORN.
Rev. Henry Gillespie has been working
toward church organization at Ossian
and finds quite good deal Of encourage
ment in that direction. He will soon go
there again. He has also preached re-
Gently at Osborn, small station where
he has had a good hearing. He says:
1.-THE country people are glad to hear the
message Of Christian Universalism."
ELKADER.
Rev. Matthew Wing held largely
attended Easter service at Elkader. He
also preached the Sunday preceding and
held class meetings during the week.
No members were received, but the La
dies Aid Society has decided to employ
Bro. Wing two Sundays per month here.
