of Recent Imports

New York, July 31.-Crockery is to be
new tariff law. This was decided upon
by a resolution passed today at a meet

New York, held at the crockery board
of trade.
There have been general reports of
late to the effect that importers have
brought out enormous stocks in antici-

the fact of strong forward movement
in this church. Many new workers and
contributors have recently been enlisted.
On last quarterly communion day four
teen new members we're added to the

south seeking climate less severe on
his as,hmatic trouble, which has been
very bad for some time. Rev. Mr. Her.

MOUNT GILEAD AND ATTICA.
Rev. George II. Ashworth, who was
secured as pastor OF the churches at
Attica and Mount Gilead through the
aid of the perintendent. is working
diligently in every way to arouse a
deeper interest in our churches in those
places.
He has recently prepared and sent out
over two hundred printed letters ad-
dressed to "Any one not church mem
Der, and to some who belong with US.
but are in other churches" in which he
presents the cardinal principles of the
Universalist church. and earnestly ap-
peaIs for cooperation. Accompanying
this appeal, he sent program OF sub
jects for three months, and from Pc
rusal OF the program we are glad to
note that Bro. Ashworth is not affected
with the delusion that prevails among
some Of our ministers.--that the day for
doctrinal sermons has gone by. On the
evening of October 18th. he delivered to
congregation that filled the Attics
church, sermon on what Constitutes
a Christian?" The sermon was printed
in full it the Attica Journal. and a pc
