Gregory of Chicago, who spoke of the
theological emphasis showing the direc-
ton towards more generous doctrine
of God and man. The second address
was by Rev. j. T. Sunderland of Ann
Arbor, who spoke to the social phase of
modern christianity, showing how the
situation of human life is of vast inter.
est to churches and how the endeavor
is to uplift the home and industrial
conditions of mankind. Rev. l.. w.
Sprague of Grand Rapids. was the last
speaker and declared the tendency is
towards liberalism. Mr.. Sprague made
strong plea for unconscious christian
ity and christianity which would
prompt one to live as Christ would have
lived under present conditions.

TOILERS AND MACHINERY.

The South must be careful or it
will lose its reputation for an optim-
ism that nothing heretofore could
discourage. Ever since the Cavaliers
settled the "Old Dominion" the South
has been regarded as standing for
the cheerful and optimistic in Ameri-
can life and manners.
And if this was so of the Southern
gentleman, much more so was it with
the Southern woman of whose beauty
womanliness, aud charm much more
than tradition remains in Dixie
Land. Unlike her sister of the North
the Southern woman does not readily
and naturally take to Browning,
metaphysics and lbsen, and the
problems of life she has heretofore
been content to leave mainly to man
whose mission it was to make things
pleasant for her.
But the 'old order" is changing,
even in the South, and woman there
as we'll as in the North, has taken up
the burdens of life and demands to
be treated as to serious problems in
an equality with man. And now one
of them. a Mrs. Wetherell of St
Louis, makes the startling predic-
ton that unless women organize and
combine against the further intro
duction of machinery into the various
pursuits of labor the next generation
will see "the female tramp" Mrs.
Wetherell says 300 600 men have al
ready been displaced by women and
that the women in turn are being dis

THURSDAY.

After a praise and conference meet

the business of the convention was
resumed.
The following resolutions were passed:
1st. Resolved, That the convention
approves of the action of the Executive
Board in appointing Rev. T. w. Illman
us State Pastor. That We foster any
means of bringing the churches into
more active membership SO that the
stranger may help the worker and that
the feeble sister churches in isolated and
difficult fields may have the stimulus
and direction necessary to produce new
life.
Be 1t resolved. also, That the delegates
at this convention be requested to make
special report to the churches they rep
resent. of this new feature of missionary
activity and to urge financial as we'll as
moral cooperation to the end that this
venture may be successful.
Be it further resolved, That the
churches Of this convention be requested
to release their pastors for two Sundays
during the working year that they may
under Mr.. Illman's direction, assist and
aid such struggling churches or mission
AIRY ventures as shall be interested and
able to cooperate to the extent of paying
travelling expenses.

he shall have subdued all things unto
himself and made the kingdom so
universal and complete that when he
gives it back into the hands of the
Father, God shall "be all in all"
This being the case some must
enter the kingdom after death. All
are to come into the kingdom, some
are not in the kingdom before death,
therefore they must come in after
death. Christ is to reign in all souls,
in some souls he does not reign be-
fore death, therefore in some souls he
must establish his reign after death

reported that there are now twenty
churches in which services are regularly
sustained, and eight other churches
partly active. In speaking of the con-
ditions he said:
1T is useless and suicidal to close our
eyes to changed conditions surrounding
US. We are in danger of falling through
the very success OF our cause beyond
the limits of our church. In days gone
by we stood upright and used our vigor
in pressing against decided and proba-
BILE opposition. But now the opposition
is weakened and undermined by the
best sentiment of literature and the
finer. sweeter life that the Christian
spirit has generated. and we are in dan
ger OF losing our balance and falling for
ward on our face" The speaker referred
to DIR. Lyman Abbott's advice to dis
band as our work is done. saying that
now is the hour for more earnest effort.
In concluding Mr.. Illman advised the
adoption of plans for fostering the
churches already established and the
plan of having State Pastor to gener-
ally supervise the work in the State
which has been in operation since last
May. The ACCESSIBILITY of uniting the
Universalists and Unitarians found in
small communities was advocated
making union society.

THE letter of Justice
Growing Old Field to his associates
in connection with his retirement from
the bench where he has served for so
long, contains one pathetic sentence,
that in which he speaks of his many
years labor on the Supreme Bench as
the largest yet achieved by any Justice,
yet in retrospect short and as "a tale
that is told" The inevitable advance
OF age is so slow that often it is not per-

Cymry inflicted a great defeat upon the
Romans in Illyria, and, in turn, were

fragments are sometimes scattered for

These meteorites are small bodies
revolving about the sun in an eliptical
orbit, like comets, but in belts or
ze mes, so that the earth passes through
them at stated times. The fall of
meteolites IN unusual numbers at these
periods OF intersection can be predict
ed with reasonable certainty. The
bodies are wholly invisible till they
meet our atmosphere and are heated to
whiteness. OF course they are invisi-
BILE in the day time even then, except
in some rare instances. There are sew
eral Vi these meteorite zones, but they
seem to be so situated that the earth
crosses them in November each year,
with minor intersections in September.
The bodies are not evenly distributed
III the zones, so some years are much
more fruitful of meteors than others.
The great Leonid star shower occurs
once in about thirty three years and is
due in 1898, on the morning of Novem-
Der l5. But for two or three years be-
fore and after the great shower the
earth will pass through the growing
swarm; so this year we can look for a
great increase of observed shooting
stars November Is to II. These are
the forerCnners of the great event.
The earth crosses the orbit of the
meteoroids at new place every year,
as their revolution is through a period
of about thirty three and quarter
years. They move at about twenty
five miles second and it takes over
two years for the swarm" to pass
the earth, the stream is so long. The
shower lasts about five hours at the
time OF its greatest elimination on the
thirty three-year period. The heavens
are all ablaze with them. 1t is a literal
rain of fire. Whenever these meteors
appear, if the line of their approach is
traced back, it is always towards the
sickle of Leo, hence the name as the
Leonid stream. There can never be
any doubt as to the genuineness of a
meteorite, for when cut across in any
direction, polished and treated with
acid, there is revealed a remarkable
system of capitalization belonging to
nothing else, which once seen is we'll
known. No infringement on their
tlade mark has ever been known What
they really are, what they represent
what their office in astronomical econ

THE METEORITES

Lieut.. Perry has brought the York
Meteorite from Cape York, Greenland,
and it will be deposited in the New
York museum of natural history. This
meteorite was discovered by Sir John
Ross in 1878 and has been utilized by
the Esquimo for their supply of iron.
1t is the largest known meteorite in the
world. The composition of meteor
ties is mostly iron in combination with
nickel. There are often traces of many
other elements besides these two, but
as they acquire Il great deal of heat on
entering our atmosphere, everything
cCmbustible would be burned out il
any such elements were originally

by the friction of the air, the presence

motion, that most of them are con-
