ent. Mrs. East is President of the Mis-.
sion Circle at home, and is much inter
ested in the work, especially 10 the west
where she has every opportunity of
knowing the needs of the times.
KEENE, N. H.
Several women present from this city
being much impressed with the state
ments made by our president took the
opportunity to be organized by her into
Mission Circle then and there, and
they have gone about it ia business
way. already sending in their member
ships to the national treasury, half for
home work and half for the greater OBJ
jects for which the national is aiming
to make its influence felt for righteous
ness.
NEW NAMES ON THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
1t was greatly to be regretted that
Mrs Mary e. Swan, of Chicago. could
not continue to serve on the board on
account Of failing health, but as only
person from the same state has con-
sented to have her name placed on our
board. 1t is one we'll known and most
favorably. too, among Universalists. that
Of Mrs. Eleanor P Townsend, of Syca-
more. Ill. The other is Mrs. Julia W.
Cushmap, of Auburn; Me-, whose failing
health for time made it seem impera-
tive for her to give up the duties of the
Office, but her health having improved
somewhat we are only too glad to restore
her name as that of new member Of
the board, although her name was never
really off. With one such woman in
Illinois as Mrs. Townsend. and another
as influential in the East, we may reason
ably look forward to the doing of greater
things than we have hitherto accom-
plished. A good name is worth much in
all that relates to carrying forward the
worlds work. Its workers name as we'll
as his money counts. Indeed, everything
counts one way or another, and if
anne is ever of use, surely it is in such
cause as this association stands for. to
help the coming of righteousness upon
the earth through the preaching of the
highest gospel ever delivered to man.
THE PACIFIC COAST MISSIONARY.
Two of the brethren have anticipated
our news of our Pacific Coast Mission
by announcing in the denomin ltionalpa
pers that Rev. A. M. Bradley terminates
his labors as Pacific Coast Missionary
early in the autumn. This is especially
sad news to those who know him best
in the West. where they have learned to
love the man and appreciate his pecu-
liar fitness for western field of labor.
1t is due to Mr.. Bradley to state that
his resignation of the mission work has
not been from any lack of interest in it,
but for reasons of domestic nature.
He is an only son, and only child. His
parents are getting on in years and yearn
for his return, trusting he will devote
his time Ito a reasonable extent) to
them, and he feels it is his duty, and
that by complying with their request
he can better fit himself for the work
he entered the ministry to perform.
Perhaps he may be able to carry an ac
ceptable message to those living East
who do not quite understand the needs
of the West.
PROGRESS IN MAINE.
BY one of those unexplainable mis-
haps that sometimes occur in Uncle
Sans domain, we were not able to an
nounce that our president organized
three mission circles in this state in
June, one at Gardner, Westbrook. and
Redfeld. She expects to assist others
in the same good cause soon. The state
officers are desired to effect an Or
ganization in every parish before the
next annual.
THE NEW TOPIC CARDS.
We expect to send out the new cards
to state presidents or secretaries tn ,
last week in August, hoping that every
Mission Circle will take up the work at
their first meeting as recommended on
the card. The committee have spared
no pains to present a good variety Of
subjects to meet the needs of all varie-
ties OF parishes, three for every month
and for fear some of the Mission Circle
members do not receive their cards in
time, we will publish the bill of fare
which the committee hopes to be con-
sidered good enough to receive favor
from all the leagues aud alliances with n
or without the fold. to adopt in meas
ure at least.

for us of instruction and inspiration, as
we never did before.
