THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

In recent number of the Century
there is an article on 1.-THE Miracle of
the Greek Fire." by Richard Watson
Glider, describing the scenes of Holy
Week in Jerusalem. Mr.. Glider says:
"a city beautiful On Palm Sunday,
from the stairway near the spot where
Mary stood when the body of her son
was taken from the cross, l saw the
Greek procession in the Church of the
Sepulcher. Then l went over to the
Mount of Olives. Looking back from
field we'll up on the hillside, the whole
city lay beneath-the temple area, with
the great mosque in full view across the
valley of Jehoshaphat. From here Jer.
usalem, with it's clear and stately out
lines of walls, the domes and minarets
OF the mosques, and the old towers and
churches, has singular completeness.
Perhaps even in Solomon's time, from
the outside, though different, it was not
more lovely. The warm gray OF the
stones of the city is the color of the I'M
bleached wool of goats; the hills are
darker, with delicate bloom over them,
spotted with gray olive.orchards, and
melting in the distance into violet. 1t
is indeed city set upon hill. isolated,
distinguished. The picture realizes ones
lifelong dream of the city of God.
The sunset sky was wild and cold,
with streaks of sunshine. The rain
ceased, and the air grew warm. In the
rich, low light all blemishes were lost,
and the City Beautiful was spread be-
fore the pilgrims eyes. Perhaps it was
here that Christ wept over Jerusalem;
along or near the path he must have
come on the day of his "entry" on the
first Palm Sunday. whose feast was be-
ing kept this very day throughout all
Christendom. There were no other
travellers; few Syrians passed by. l
gathered some flowers by the wayside
and turned again homeward.

Points About Flags.

The president of the United States has
his very gorgeous flag; the secretary of
the Navy and the assistant secretary
have their flags; admirals have theiIe,
and so do commodoree; but it is not
known very widely. perhaps, that gener-
ais of the army also have flags which
are hoisted sometimes. The other day,
Says the New York "Sun." the Cover
nors Island tug left the landing at the
Battery with little blue flag on her
centre flag staff; on the blue field of the
flag were two white stars. The major
general commanding the Department of
the East was on the tug, and the little
blue flag signaled the fact to all who
saw it and knew what it meant To
those who did not know what it meant
it seemed as though the flag was simply
the remains of full. sized American flag,
the rest of which had been blown away
during its faithful service. The flag
gave warning to the Governor Islanders
that the general was coming, and so let
them prepare to receive him.

ALMOST HALF A CENTURY,

1t is forty-four years since DR.. Eben
the New England Conservatory of music
at Boston. Since that time it has grown
steadily and consistently, until today it
ranks first in size and standing among
musical institutions in America, and
among the largest and best known in the
entire world.
This year radical change will be made
in the musical dictatorship. Mr.. George
W. Chadwick, one of the best known of
American musicians and composers, will
take the place of Mr. Carl Felten, who
has had charge for some years. 1t seems
eminently fitting that an American insti-
tuition should have an American at it's
head, particularly when one of such
marked ability and sterling reputation has
been secured. Mr.. Chadwick has been for
many years on the faculty, and every de-
tail of the workings of the institute is an
open book to him.
The New England Conservatory is the
result of experience, not of theory Its
facilities are conceded to be equal to the
combined facilities of all other American
Conservatives. Over 800 pupils have
been enrolled during the past year, which
places it, in the number of students, in
the same class with Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton and the University of Chicago. The
large building on Franklin Square con-
tains not only the necessary number of
classrooms lover forty, but also spa
cious and comfortable home for nearly
four hundred lady students, and the de-
mand for Accommodations has been so great
in recent years that two annexes have
been added to provide for the increased
number of students.
All branches of music, vocal, instrument
tai and composition, also elocution and
oratory, are treated fully here. There is
also thoroughly equipped department of
piano and organ tuning for such as desire
to go to the very rudiments of these
branches.
The graduates of the New England Con-
servatory are to be found the country owe
in positions of prominence in the musical
world. 1t is comparatively easy for gradu
ates to secure the very cream of positions
as the reputation of the Conservatory is
back of them in their applications.
Visitors to Boston are always welcome,
and upon application to Mr.. Frank W.
Hale, who has been general manager for
many years, they will be shown the in
stitute in all its details. A catalogue will
also be sent to any person interested upon
written application TO Nh. Hale.

The Sixtieth Annual Session of the
Illinois Universalist Convention will be
held at Earlville. September 2sth, Doth
and Both. 1897.
Each parish is entitled to two lay del
egates and for every twenty five families
above the first twenty-five contributing
to parish expenses, an additional lay
delegate. No parish should fail to elect
delegates and parishes should be care
full to select those who will attend the
session.
The meeting this year will be more
than usually important. Besides the
questions of local interest to the church,
delegates will be chosen to represent
Illinois in the biennial session of the
General Convention to be held in Chi
cago in October.
Several questions demanding the best
thought of the ablest men in the church
will be up for consideration in the SEES
sion of the General Convention.
Universalists of Illinois must first
consider these questions in their state
convention. A large attendance will
add to the interest, enthusiasm and i'm
portance of the occasion. An attend
ance of one hundred, who pay full fare
going, will make it possible to secure
excursion rates for the return.

Observation-Disclosures of Rev.
L. d. Boynton.-Rev. L. d. Boynton
surprised and grieved his congregation,
Sunday, August Doth, by announcing at
the close of the morning service that he
had resigned the passionate of our
church in this city, to take effect at the
close of the evening service of the same
day. He preached no formal farewell
sermon as the word farewell" would
have been too fearful word for us.
He has been with US six years lacking
month. Bro. Boynton is natural
sermonizer. He was beyond boubt
called" to preach. And during his
residence here, he was considered, not
only by his own church, but by others
also, to be the ablest and most eloquent
preacher in the city.
The church has increased in num-
bers during his pastorate, and in addi-
ton to his pulpit services, he was fire.
quently called upon to deliver addresses
before secular societies and upon ami
versary occasions.
Mrs. Boynton was an aid to her hus-
band in his pastoral work and especial
ly as a member OF the choir. Bro.
Boynton will rest for a time at least,
on his farm near Minneapolis. He will
always be welcomed as supply" for
our pulpit in this city, in the future,
and in which capacity he frequently Of
ticiated before coming here to live in
1891. And should he at any time con,
clude to return to Rochester to reside,
he and Mrs. Boynton will be gladly well
coined as residents of the city.
