JUST COMPLIMENT.
We find the following in the Buchtelite
of April 14th.
Last Friday Miss M. A. Bortle left
Akron, to settle permanently in Mans
field. Her friends here are sorry to
have her go, for she has worked faith
fully and unselfshly for Buchtel College
during the years she has been here, and
has ever had the best interests of the
students at heart. We have only the
best wishes for the success of her work
in Mansfield and Belleville, and We are
sure that if earnestness and entire con-
secration, are the chief elements which
make for the truest success, then she
will have no reason to be discouraged
over the result of her efforts"
HAVE YOU ELECTED DELEGATES?
The time for the State Convention is
rapidly drawing near and the election of
delegates should not be postponed. Sc
lect good representative men and women
and make it certain that they attend.
The State Convention is composed Of all
ministers in fellowship with the Conven-
ton. and at least two delegates from
each church. One church has just as
much authority in the Convention as an
other. and if any churches are not repre-.
sented, they are under obligations to
abide by any business transacted by del.
egates present. The coming session will
be one of great Importance. and we trust
that all active pastors will be present.
and that every church will be fully rep
resented.
OLMSTED.
BY invitation. Rev. Fl. L. Garfield Wis.
tied our church at Olmsted on Sunday,
April IL, and conducted three services,
the second being the funeral of Mrs.
Buell. Stearns. who had long been a
member of that church and was most
excellent woman. While at Olmsted he
accepted the invitation of the trustees
to become pastor of the church. which
he will serve on alternate Sundays in
connection with the church at Peru.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
Rev. J. A. Stoner, of Milford, will be
glad to respond to calls for services on
fifth Sundays.
Several of our active churches have
failed to send their annual reports. We
cannot understand the delay.
Our church at Akron is the first to
report the names of delegates elected to
| represent the church at the State Con-
vention at Manchester.
Miss Martha A. Bortle, pastor of our
churches at Bellevile and Mansfield, has
moved to the latter city. Her address is
SO South Main Street.
Rev. Frank P. Blackboard supplied
for his father, Rev. J. FL. Blackboard, at
Conover. April 18th. to enable him to
attend funeral at New Madison.
Rev. j. H. Blackford preached at
New Madison, on Easter Sunday, and we
trust was able to enable our friends there
to lay plans for a renewal of active SER
vices.
Read carefully the conditions on
which reduced rates to the Ohio Con-
vention have been granted by the Cen.
trail Passenger Association. They must
be complied with to secure the reduc-
ton.
Notwithstanding the special work of
Rev. Henrietta Moore, at present. is to
advocate the equal rights of women with
men. she is also doing good work in be-
half of Universalism. At Boone the
Suffrage Convention was held in the
Universalist church. On Sunday, April
4th. she preached before the four hun
dred students Of the Iowa State Agricul-
tural College. President Bradshaw, of
the college, is from Dayton. Ohio, and is
a large hearted and liberal minded man.
Miss Moore was handsomely treated. and
was invited to come again. On April IL
she preached in the Unitarian church
at Sioux City. of which Miss Mary SAT.
ford is pastor. 1t is a strong church in
numbers and influence. In the evening
she preached in the Congregational
church at Onawa. The Christian and
M. E. churches united in the services.
and many were unable to get into the
church. Miss Moore says: Il find many
people who are afraid of me, as a Uni
versalist;' but after l have spoken they
did not consider me so dangerous. So
