UNITARIAN CONFERENCE.
Address by Rev. ID. Fay Mills on the
mission of the Multitude"

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 23.-The fourth
day of the Unitarian conference began with
devotional services conducted by the Rev.
D. c. Southworth, of Duluth, Mimi. False
Methods as Hindrances to Social Better
ment" was discussed in paper by Prof
Edward Cummings, of Harvard University
The Rev. 3. Fay Mills spoke on the Mis-
sion to the Multitude" Prof. Nichols p
Gilman, of Meadville Theological School
spoke on Animated Moderation" Rev. B.
Fay Mills said, in substance: The multi
tude has always been scattered abroad like
sheep having no shepherd Occasionally
rarely, comes a Jesus, who can say, My
sheep hear my voice and follow me On
this occasion our thought must be limited
to the religious and spiritual mission. How
can the masses be inspired with trust in
God and love to man? There are three
popular IDEAS of a religious mission-the
doctrinal, the ecclesiastical or sacerdotaI
ard the inSpiratiOnal The whole system
Of dogmatism and of priestcraft, Protestant
and Catholic, is to go. Can we have an in
spirational religious mission in its place?
For mission of this character, as for a
great Grafton, there must be three things
a great thought, great personality and
great occasion. The great thought must be
simple, positive, practical and inspiring. 1t
can be stated thus Absolute faith that
justfies not only the right, but also SEEM
ing evil; unbounded hope, that sees health
that solves all individual and political prob
lens The great personality must be one
of whom it can be said: He is religion
The multitude cares no more for liberal
platforms than for othodoX platforms.
They are weary of book religion and the
cries. Orthodoxy has failed only as liberal
religion has failed. Each has failed TO be
religious and has lacked blood-earnestness
and spiritual magnetism. The world has
more use for the Salvation Army than for
an Abrahamic cult. popular religious
movement is sustained only on sympathy
and love"

EMANCIPATION At HAND.
What the President of the Cuban
League SAYS in an Address.


NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-President Ethan
Allen, of the Cuban League of the United
States, to-day issued the following address
to the members of the league:
"A year of patriotic work is about to end
in grandest results. Last spring nearly
every Governor of this Republic, at our
request, backed by the Legislature of his
State, spoke for Cuban independence. Many
hundreds of thousands of citizens respond
ing to the appeal of this league have made
it manifest that public opinion is on the
side of the Cuban insurgents and hostile
to their oppressors. Now the hour of eman-
cipation for Cuba is at hand. The command
ing voice of the Nation has at last reached
the executive. Though the delay has been
much too long, still the retribution at hand
will excuse past delinquency. Our minister
in Spain, with patriotic President behind
him, will do that which shall end the muir
der, plumber and medieval tyranny in
Cuba, allowing its entry into sovereign
states. The Nation is ready with guns if
necessary. Every member of this league
should be alert to uphold the President in
such a policy Let all when the moment
comes say to him, All divisions end at the
waters edge.

PLAINFIELD, Ind, Sept. 2S.-The expert

approved. There was little business to
transact last night. The committee APP

During the devotional service Rev. Barr,

when, we could do nothing with him. He
would bite and kick, and smash everything
around him to splinters. At such time no

suspected the cause of these outbreaks he
killed one hostler and crippled another for
