THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

The final session of the Con-
vention on Thursday afternoon was
opened by singing, and prayer by
Rev. Florence Kollock Crooker. The
report of the committee on resolutions
and new business was then read, and
| after due deliberation became the
action of the Convention.
The resolutions as finally adopted
read:
l. RESOLVED, 81 900 be appropriated for
the maintenance of the Pacific Coast Mis-
sion.
g. RESOLVED, 5000 per year for years be
appropriated for the Denver, Colorado,
new church
g. RESOLVED, 800 per year for 5 years,
be appropriated for the Kansas City, Mo.
Church Building Fund.
A. RESOLVED, 500 per year for 5 years,
be appropriated through the General Con-
vention for the education of girls and
women in Japan.
The fifth resolution provided for
the appointment of a committee to
investigate the feasibility of holding
the National Conventions of the
church in the same place, at the same
time, without destroying their indi-
viduality.
Resolutions of coincidence on the
death of Rev. G. A. Garst at River
side, Cal, Mrs. Haskell of Hartford,
Conn.,, Mrs. Julia Clarke of Syracuse,
N. Y, and Mrs. E. A. McAllester, of
Oregon.
Resolutions of thanks to the Phil
adelphia churches and their pastors,
for their generous hospitality, and to
the local press for their generous re-
ports of the Convention were likewise
adopted.
The Committee on Nominations
then brought in the names of the in
cumbent officers for reelection. The
secretary cast the ballot and elected
the following officers.

THE AGE LIMIT AGAIN.
tlOn.

At a recent meeting of the Y. P. G.
Union in one of our Eastern towns, an
enthusiastic young minister earnestly
urged the establishment of an age-limit
for membership in that organization,
which has not yet completely passed the
experimental stage, and still has much
to accomplish before it is thoroughly es-
tablished as part of our church machin-
cry. That it has already been produce
tive of much good none will deny. 1t
has aided in arousing larger love for the
church of their fathers in the hearts of
many of our young people; it has aroused,
to large degree. what the Universalist
Church has largely needed, viz: desire
for the spread of our faith by systematic
and cooperative missionary work. The
church at Hartman, Tennessee, and the
promising missions at Knoxville, Tenn
essee, and Atlanta, Georgia, are prophe-
cies of what may be accomplished, pro-
viding no discordant elements are in
troduced to divide and distract. The
influence the. Union exerts in the local
churches, in arousing the devotional
spirit, without which there can be no
genuine development of spirit of devo-
ton, as exempliied by the life of Jesus,
has only begun to demonstrate it's
strength. In quite a number of our
churches no Unions have been estab-
lished, and until each church has live
and working Union, the work of organ
ization will be incomplete. Why then
should subject be proposed. the con-
sideration and adoption of which is cer-
tain to arouse controversy and provoke
discord, and result in injury to what now
promises to be, if rightly guarded. one
of the best instrumentalities ever en-
ployed for the building up and extend
ing the influence of the Universalist
Church.! II.

sential truth of Christ's religion. As
Gods children we sink or swim to-
gether. Those who subscribe to a
different doctrine do so only with
their intellects. With their hearts
they subscribe to the truth of Uni
versal divine sonship.
"The soul grows by service. Un-
due meditation creates morbidity.
Through activity we fulfill the des-
tiny into which we were born. Even
as famous painter induced pecu-
liar life like glow into his produc-
tions by mixing his paints with his
own life's blood. so if we wish to por-
tray lives for Immortality we must mix
our efforts with our own life's blood"
Rev. F. A. Bisbee, in brief and
witty speech, made it plain that for
selfish, as we'll as philanthropic rea-
sons, every minister should extend his
aid to Help These Women"
I'VE want it all at Home was the
pith of pointed address by Rev.
Myra Libby. Her sarcastic arraign-
ment of the short-sighted individual,
whose abbreviated missionary vision
extends no farther than the borders
of the home church, was worthy a
universal hearing. We hope Mrs.
Libby will continue her attacks on
short sightedness and penny wise
folly until all our constituency are
thorough missionaries.
DIR. E. G. Sweetser made the clos
ing address. He said: ''There is
new spirit in our church. 1t is the
missionary spirit. If we are obedient
to the promptings of this spirit we
will march like soldiers with unbrok-
en- front to the new victories that lie
in the glorious future awaiting our
undivided efforts" The meeting
closed with the singing of the mis-
sionary hymn. 1t was an inspiring
meeting and filled us with new hope
for our faith and our church.

Rev. r. T. Polk, of Towanda, Penn,
had added their assent to the wisdom
of the proposed change in the method
of representation. The amendment
was carried without dissenting vote
and reads:
AS amended, Article XII: The Annual
Convention shall consist of the officers of
the Executive Board of the National So
ciety, presidents of unorganized States,
presidents and secretaries of State Mis-
sionary Societies, with one delegate from
every nine members of any Mission Cir
Gle from each or any State, District of Co.
lumbia, or other territory within the jur-
isdiction of the Association.
The chair then appointed the fol-
lowing committees of the session:
ELECTIONS: Mrs. G. L. Healy, New
York City; Rev. Myra Libby of Water
town, N Y.
NOMINATIONS: M. J. Long, Towanda; !;
Mrs A. M. Ganty, Washington, D. G. !;

TT was late one afternoon in sum-
mer when | entered my bird
haunts. A copious shower had
cleared the sky and purified the air.
Having mounted the brow of small
hill, | stood with my back toward the
western sun, and with my face to-
ward the still river, which bordered
the lowlands. The soft balmy air
which infolded me, l felt upon my
brow and cheek, in my lungs and
veins and through every nerve and
fibre of my body. Such air, l am
sure, was never breathed before. 1t
seemed as if God, after washing the
heavens with that purifying shower,
had filled the vault with his own ex-
halations, and that my nerves were
being thrilled by his divine breath.
At my feet lay wild roses and Glow
er perfuming the breeze; above me
was the ethereal blue of the sky; and
from behind came the level rays of
the lowering sun touching the brow
of the hill and the tops of the trees,
while leaving the lowlands and the
river in peaceful shadow.
But those trees-you should have
seen them. If anything was more
inspiring than the air enveloping me,
it was the sight of that foliage-foli-
age transformed into a mass of gold
by the touch-not of Midas-but of
God himself, who had empowered
those living forms to retain still the
life and healthfulness of trees per-
fected luxuriance. From the recesses
of that foliage came forth grand
chorus of voices, as if angels were
hidden there. Like one enchanted
stood, while l drank in the beauties
of the evening. Soon every sense
was taken captive, and saw neither
the shadowY river, nor the flowers,
nor the golden trees, nor the blue
sky. | was no longer conscious of
the invigorating air nor the sweet
music, but the peacefulness of the
whole scene, the harmonious blend
ing of colors, the fragrance of the
flowers, the delicacy of that touch.
which the zephyrs passed over my
brow, and the divineness of that
music-all these mingled together
and formed one grand spirit, the
spirit of beauty, which took pos
session of my soul and bore it away,
away 1 might almost say,-to the
very gates of paradise; for when at
last became self-conscious being,
| felt that had been in heaven and
that my spirit had come in contact
with something divine.
Soon after this / became aware
that most of the music had ceased,
and that hush was over everything.
All the birds-for they formed my
angel choir-were pausing to listen
to the liquid notes of one lone SOLO
ist, who was hidden among the oak
branches over my head. l looked up,
and there in a tiny bower of leaves

ism in the West.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

An elaborate program had been
prepared for the evenings exercises,
and the most excellent music rem
dered by the organist and choir put
US in the mood to listen and be in
spired. The devotional exercises con-
cluded, National President, Mrs. c..
A. Quinby, delivered her annual ad-
dress. The following brief abstract
conveys only faint idea of all the
good things it contained. Mrs.
Quinby said:
I'm view of the missionary needs
of the present day this meeting gains
special significance. We are trying
to meet these needs. In twenty seven
states our work is going forward. I"
The efforts of the past year surpass
those of any previous year. The
greatest obstacle to our future growth
is Indifference. Of many remedies,
personal visitation and appeal is the
most effective in securing religious
co-operators. A lively sense of our
religious opportunities and privileges
engenders missionary life in us, as
potent in making us carry the Cos
pei to others, as the life in the econo-
my of nature is potent in causing the
plants to spring forth and bud. Can
we not engender this life in the very
rich as we'll as in the Indifferent?
Another movement in the inter
ests of increased usefulness and
economy would be the centralization
of conventions. The W. G. A., Y. P.
G. o., and General Conventions
should be held in the same place, at
the same time, but with independant
sessions.
'We have before us now the Pacific
Coast Mission, the Japan Mission,
the Denver and Kansas City mission
churches. We do not mean to be
derelict in meeting any of these ur-
gent needs. We must increase our
membership an1 thus increase our
funds. Forward, is our watchword! |!
Let us go 'Forwardp"
This able address was vigorously
applauded.
Mrs. Jane Pierce was then intro
duced and spoke to the point on the
"Value of Organized Effort for Wo-
men," She said in part: "Woman's
advancement in human progress
shows the futility of individual effort
and the value of organized work. 1t
was our women who first discovered
the missionary needs of our church
and rose to meet them. 1t would ap-
pear that only genius could solve our
present financial difficulties. But
work is genius and work with faith
comes nearer to a genuine miracle in
results than anything 1 know.
The next speaker was Rev. Florence
Kollock Croker. Her topic was "The
Permanent in Christianity"
She maintained that the truth of
mans divine sonship to be the es-

THURSDAY MORNING.

The Thursday morning session
opened with devotional meeting led
by Mrs. Lott, of Philadelphia. Fol-
lowing the devotional meeting the
impromptu reports from State and
local mission circles formed an inter
esting and inspiring feature of the
morning session.
Pennsylvania and Connecticut re-
ported substantial gains during the
year. New York had organized II
new Mission Circles. Secretary Mrs.
Henry A. Manning of Chicago then
portrayed the brilliant future before
the Missionary Society in the West.
She said: "We regret to say that
the missionary body of the State of
Illinois is not in organic connection
with this Convention. We wish our
Western sisters might see the wisdom
of standing as one in the missionary
enterprises of our church. The State
of Ohio, also, should be brought in
touch with the general body and in
duced to make al annual contribu-
ton of more than ten cents. The
State of Indiana, particularly rich
field for missionary effort, is as yet
without Mission Circle. We hope to
report otherwise at the next Conven-
tion."
At the close of several other
speeches in the same hopeful mis-
sionary strain, Mrs. Emily L. Sher-
wood took the floor and gave a paper
on "The Business in Hand" She
plead eloquently for a better conduct
of the business of the Mission Circles.
Among other things she emphasized
the necessity of promptness in max
ing reports. "One slow woman can
retard the work of the whole Conven-
tion." Weshould, furthermore, learn
to use all available instruments in
carrying on our work, such as the
topic card. The corresponding Sec
retary has received letters with re-
mittance enclosed, and no note to
signify from whom they have been
sent. Our local and State secretar-
les should learn to do business ac-
cording to business methods.
The last literary feature of the
Convention was a discussion of the
subject of finances by National
Treasurer, Mrs. M. M. Dean. The
paper was we'll written and ably de-
livered. Mrs. Dean said: "The Wom-
ans Missionary Society is the only
organization in our church whose in
come was more in 1896 than in 1895.
During the past year we have received
bequests from Mrs. Clarissa L. Crane,
of Stamford, Conn, and Mrs. T. j.
Harbach, of Syracuse, N. Y.
Notwithstanding our favorable
financial condition We need still more
money to meet all she calls made
upon our exchequer. This money
can be procured through added
memberships. The rank and file of
our ministry are not in cooperation
with us. This is at present the most
serious barrier to our progress. We
must enlist them to our cause. Above
all let us deeply concern ourselves
with the success of our work.

We do"
