The Enquirer reporter says that not
withstanding the intense heat Of the
day our Newtown church, the Oldest in

OHIO ECHOs FROM DETROIT 81"
DR.. H. L. Garfield writes: II attended
the Detroit convention and enjoyed it
very much in spite of the weather, which
part of the time, was almost unindur-
able. The ride on the Lake from Cleve-
land to Detroit and return was delight
full. The Convention was full of work
and enthusiasm, and the Y. P. G. Union
movement is full of hope and promise
for our cause"
What would the Y. P. G. U. do if it
were not for Ohio! The retiring Presi
dent, Rev. E. j. Felt, was native OF
Ohio; the present president, Mr.. H. M.
Fowler, is Buckeye; the Woodworking
secretary, Rev. Harry L. Garfield, and
his faithful assistant. Mrs. Mary Grace
Garfield. are Ohioans. and the new
treasurer. Rev. o. G. Petrie, is "wan-
derer" from the State that carries the
National Banner this year.
CLEVELAND FLOWER MISSION.
Mrs. M. D. G. Morgan, of No. 10 Ken
wood Street, Cleveland, is the present
Superintendent of the Flower Mission
OF All Souls Universalist Church.
This work, which has been success
fully conducted by Mrs. Georgia Onread
for some years past, is deserving of the
co operation of all Universalists within
convenient distance of Forest City, and
those who reside too far away to send
flowers. can render valuable assistance
by cash contributions. for Mrs. Morgan
and her assistants, in their visitations
often find places where a. little money
will go great ways. We hope that this
work of carrying the beautiful" to the
poor and afflicted. and which was begun
under the auspices OF our church, will
not be suffered to weaken for the lack Of
cooperation from those who dwell under
the clear skies and inhale the pure air
of the country. Those who wish infor-
nation in regard to sending flowers,
etc.. can obtain it by addressing Mrs.
Morgan.

at Boston, where she will go September
1st. She says: "Of course. l must leave
my work here, which l dislike to do, as
we are nicely started in earnest work.
shall leave some material evidence OF
the work that has been done since
our church gives US beautiful par
lor which is connected with audience
room by sliding doors. We also have
the incest dining room in the town. On
June 10th we had church reunion and
reception for Mrs. G. M. Rounds and
Mrs. Henry Ainsworth, of Lodi, who
made it possible for us to build and fur
nish our rooms of which we are so
proud. The friends of the church came
from far and near. Some had not seen
each other for years. and everybody
seemed to be happy and delighted to be
there. 1t will seem strange for me TO
be out of Ohio. l have not missed a
state convention for twenty years. My
work, what little l have done. has been
in Ohio. l regret to leave the many
whom l know and love. but field of
work has opened to me that have a
special liking for, and for which l be-
lieve nature has fitted me. l may be
lost sight OF as a minister, but the poor
shall know me by my ministrations to
them"
Mrs. Danforth's many friends will
wish her abundant success in her new
field of work.
