Our Ohio Churches.
FROM j. W. HENLEY, d. d.
State Secretary.
MOUNT GILEAD.

BY business letter from Bro. Philip
Wieland. we learn that Rev. George Fl.
Ashworth is doing good work at Mount
Gilead. Bro Wieland says: HE is a
good preacher and worker, and good
man all around, and we think he will do
our church much good. He will start
young people in some kind OF work soon,
but he cannot do all at once. We had
social at Bro. j. L. Swingle's, November
IL.
WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION.
The three Y. Z. @. us in Washington
Association had Rally Meeting" at
Frost, October 81. The Belpre choir
sang their best songs, and the Frost
choir did their best. The program was
we'll arranged, and each participant did
we'll. These meetings accomplish good
work in developing larger devotional
spirit, and arousing greater interest in
UNCONVENTIONAL work.
CUBA.
Rev. John Richardson has informed
US that he closed his large and success
full pastorate at Cuba. on October 81
We have suggested to our friends at
Cuba, that they unite with Farmers
Station church in the support of the
same pastor. who would preach the
same day at both churches or alternate
Sundays. and thus have double service
at the same expense. Our people need
to be brought together more frequently
than once month if they desire pros
perity.
GREENVILLE CIRCUIT.
For some time we have been working
to secure cooperation between several
churches chiefly located in Montgomery
Association, and we have the pleasure
of announcing that in short time Rev.
John Richardson will take charge OF
circuit, which will be composed of the
churches at Greenville. Palestine, Miami
City and Westville. 1t is probable that
Greenville and Palestine will have one
service each on alternate Sundays.
GENUINE LOYALTY.
At the recent session of Montgomery
Association at Greenville the subject of
sending delegates to State Conventions
was prominent feature of the program.
The discussion was opened by Mrs. J.
Clapp of Palestine, who took the posi-
ton that il we wish to be an "up to-
date" church. it is very necessary that
delegates be sent to the State Conven-
ton. and when delegates are selected
care should be taken to elect those who
can go, and who are also willing to work
earnestly for the home church. Mre.
Clapp said: when we unite with the
church we thereby pledge ourselves to
help that church to enjoy prosperity.
and how are we going to accomplish
that unless we are willing to help in
everything that will benefit the entire
church. Hence we should not expect
our delegates to bear their own ex.
penses." This is sound doctrine, and
when all of our churches commence it's
practice. then we will see the influence
of the Universalist church deepen and
widen.
WORDS THAT ARE TRUE.
In recent letter, Rev. Henrietta G.
Moore. who is now in South Dakota,
working earnestly for that feature OF
Universalism. which is gradually being
developed. viz, the right of woman to
equal suffrage, says: ut is true, as you
say. that we need more religion. We
have as much as the other denomina-
tions. but then we have less push than
they have. We need a good deal more
religion to make us place in the world.
Besides we lay claim to having so much
more. that we ought to make our pull
pit declarations good to the people,"
While. at Millbank. S. D., Miss Moore
met Rev. Mr.. Fitch. who was pastor of
a church in Norwalk, o.. when she was
a teacher in the public schools of that
city. At his earnest request. she occu-
pied the pulpit of the Congregational
church. and preached to congregation
of about four hundred. Miss Moore
will conclude her western trip very soon.
and then will be ready to answer calls
for special services for time.
HAMILTON.
Mics Mary Andrews, who lie supplying
our Hamilton church, is working dill
gently in all departments. aud a good
degree OF interest prevails. She reports
that the session Of Miami Association
recently held at Hamiltoo had a good
influence 10 arousing a larger interest
