THE MINISTER'S CONFERENCE.

THE MINISTER'S CONFERENCE.
The first meeting for the year of the
Ministerial Association was held at
Boone Jan. IL to IA. The attendance of
pastors was not as large as it might have
been or as was hoped for. The holding
of the North Eastern association of
young people during the same week
kept some away and other good reasons
hindered others. Yet the meeting was
good one. The social and fraternal
spirit among those present was very
warm and helpful.
The pastor worked very hard to make
the meeting of great local value. Powers
greater than human defeated her wishes
to great extent. The whole city was
suffering from a grievous distemper of
the nature of lagrippe. Scarcely Uni
versalist family in the place was exempt.
The weather, also, was stormy. Snow fell
the greater part of the time. Strong
winds and icy weather filed up the
measure of difficulties and discomfort.
Naturally the evening audiences were
small, to the great disappointment of the
pastor. Rev. Sophie Glib.
The sermons and papers were all
worthy an extended outline. but refer
ence is all that can be made here.
Monday evening and Wednesday even
ing DR.. Crum preached. Tuesday even
ing Mrs. Crum preached and Thursday
evening j. II. Palmer closed the session.
Papers we're given by DR.. Crum, (two)
H. L. f. Gillespie and j. E. Reyes. A

forenoon at the parsonage, when reso-
luton was passed commanding the plan
proposed by DR.. Nash of issuing little

The annual meeting of the church
took place on the evening of January 7.
The ladies served picnic supper for the
parish, the parents of Sunday-school
children being especially invited. The
business meeting followed. The friends
remained more generally for this than
last year. In response to roll call, let
tiers from distant members were read.
The reports of the various officers and
auxiliaries were satisfactory, and the

we'll.
The Ladies' Circle. which has had an
honored career, antedates little the

the charter members of the circle still
living and working with it. The ladies

year.

CHICAGO. - This Annual Parish
Meeting of st. Paul's Society was held
on Wednesday evening of last week.
Reports were received from all depart
ments of the parish, showing activity
and progress. Mr.. G. L. Hutchinson,
Superintendent of the Sunday school.
made verbal report in which he stated
that the school was in better condition
than for many years. The regular at
tendance is now nearly 300. The cleo
ton of three Trustees resulted in the
choice of Messrs. Charles A. Stevens. A.
E.. Snow and w. f. Burrows. The
meeting was we'll attended. A compli-
mentary resolution to the pastor for the
pulpit work of the year was adopted
unanimously.
Church of Our Father. The annual
meeting of the Third Universalist So
ciety was held on Tuesday evening, Jan.
u, and the attendance was larger than
on any previous occasion OF a similar
kind. A scheme for the removal of the
debt on the church building was pro-
posed and unanimously agreed to; and.
as subordinate to this, it was agreed that
when the debt should be removed Mr..
Kimbell, who now holds the title, should
be authorized to convey it to the Illinois
Universalist Convention in accordance
with the regulations of that body.

some contribution for the benefit OF the

Dharmapala is Secretary, was realized.
The attendance seems decided warrant
for other lectures. The most telling hit
made by Mr.. Dharmapala was when he
spoke of the lack of compassion shown
toward animals in Christian countries.

our neglect and cruelty regarding our

Morrison. This Union holds that the
social part is an important branch of
Y.P.C. u. work. Social meetings oc-
cur every two weeks. A "ten cent sup
per" was given a short time ago, and
was a decided success. The ladies of
this church held their annual bazaar in
December. This Union sends to all
young people best wishes for great pros
perity in the work during the coming
year.
Sgcanaore- Unioners are loyal
Christmas entertainment was presented
largely through their efforts. They have
recently pledged S25 towards the minis
ters salary. During December. they
paid the salary of the bass singer in the
church choir. They had candy and
flower stand during the fair held by the
ladies on December IL and II. Several
of the Unioners who are away from
home attending school this year, spent
the Christmas vacation at home.
Table Groue.-Young people will take
up a line of Bible study during the com
ing year. Charts have been prepared
for use. The church has been without
pastor for three months. At several
different times, programs have been
given by the young people at the regular
hour for morning service. Never since
its organization have the members of
this society taken SO much interest in
the devotional meetings as they take at
the present time. A special paper, song,
or recitation is given at each meeting.
Macomb.-On recent Sunday even
ing church services we're dispensed with
and the time was devoted to young
mems meeting. Papers on practical
subjects were given by some of the
young men. On January 3 there was
young ladies' meeting. Sociables are
held every two weeks. The last one
took the form of mum" sociable. The
interest which the young people take in
the church seems to cause some of the
older people to attend church services
more regularly.
