AUST TRIBUTE.
Is paid the pastors daughter by the
Evening Gazette in connection with a
long laudatory article on the Botanical
department of the high school. Follow
ing is the paragraph.
Miss Carrie Palmer, who, is in charge
of this department, besides teaching two
classes in English, is one of the most
thorough and efficient teachers in the
State Miss Palmer's ability as teacher
is but the supplement of her thorough
knowledge of the subject, with which she
is completely in love. After preparatory
work, Miss Palmer spent three and half
years at Ann Arbor, where she completed,
most successfully, all the botany courses
in the University of Michigan.
Miss Palmer has had charge of this
work for a number of years, and by hard.
persistent work has raised the grade
until it is now one of the highest in the
State.
ELKADER.
Unexpected success attended the re-
vival meetings at this place conducted
by Rev. J. E. Keyes. A Sunday-school
was organized with an enrolment OF
forty seven. Many opposed such an or
ganization on the ground that there was
already Union" Sunday school in
town. Bro. Reyes took the ground that
Universalist Sunday-school with Uni
versalists in it is better for Universalists
than so-called Union Sunday-school
with no Universalists in it.
Seventeen new members were added
to the church. some of them the oldest
and most substantial residents of the
town.
Rev. Mathew Wing has been preach
ing on alternate Sundays at this place
for the past year. 1t is the expectation
now to raise sufficient money to secure
him for all the time.
MANCHESTER.
Special meetings were held Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
May 18th, 18th and 18th. Rev. J. e.
Reyes preached each evening and gave
most excellent sermons. The subjects
were: "The True Gospel" Individual
Responsibility and Conditions oil
Church Life" The last service was OF
the nature of an installation for the pas
tor. The weather was very rainy on
that evening and the meetings illustrat
ed a perfect anti-climax, although a
much larger audience was present at the
last service than the most sanguine
hoped for.
The young people are having splendid
devotional meetings Sunday evenings
and expect to send one or more delegates
to Detroit. They expect to give De
troit social in June.
The Ladies' Aid gave supper in the
church basement Wednesday evening
May 10Th, and encountered one of the
hardest rains of the seasons-"sp splendid
for the crops"-every one said in self
consolation. A regular umbrella brigade
attended. and at fifteen cents for supper
the receipts aggregated about ten dol
lars.

here since Monday evening, May 18th

ticipated, though at this writing re-
port cannot be made.
WATERLOO.
After hearing Rev. A r. Tillinghast
of Anoka, Mimi, for two Sundays the
people decided to extend to him call
without hearing any more candidates
thus avoiding the usual annoyance oil
the fruitless season of "heariug candi
dates.' Bro. Tillinghast is an Iowa boy
Anoka being his first charge, and the
Iowa ministerial fraternity welcome him
heartily to the work ia his home State
He begins his regular work at Waterloo
