AN AUTUMN PICNIC.
An autumn picnic is not always sue
cessful, because the weather is uncer-
tain. The weather was absolutely per-
feet, however, for the Manchester picnic
which was held September 25th. 3 Three
dates had previously been set and given
up for various reasons and some had al
most decided that it had been foreor-
eiained that we should not have a picnic
this year Such were happily surprised
at the result of our fourth attempt.
Hacks. carriages, farm wagons and
bicycles carried about eighty happy
people to the grounds four miles from
town. where bountiful dinner with
plenty of hot coffee was greatly enjoyed.
Those present ranged in age from nine
weeks to eighty-f five years and all seemed
to enjoy the day equally well. The
ground is owned by an old-time Univer-
salist, Henry Baker, who was present to
welcome the company. The Methodist
church had held picnic on the same
ground during the summer, and without
consulting Mr.. Baker. had left large
sign in conspicuous place near the
road reading: "Epworth Park" Some
of US thought it was rather presump
tious for the Methodists to thus set up
claim to Universalist's pasture land
because it happened to be beautiful
spot, 80 we had a sign painted reading
Murray Park" and nailed it up by the
side Of the other sign. Bro. Baker said
he liked ours the best and that we could
take the other one down. We intend
to do so some time. but thought we
would leave the two together for while
and see what the "Ep worth" people
would say.

DR.. CRUM, STATE MISSIONARY.
The time has come when we can an
nounce to the Iowa Universalists the
definite engagement of DR.. Amos Crum
by the s ate Convention as it's Mis-
eionary. The announcement has been
going the round of the secular state
papers for the last two weeks. with many
comments favorable to Bro. Crum.
Arrangements are not yet complete for
settling another pastor at Webster City.
but are being made as fast as the nature
of the case will permit.
Much work lies before DR.. Crum of a
varied nature. just what his policy
will be is not yet announced but we will
have something definite soon. He has
been 10 the State for over fifteen years
and has answered special calls to all
parts of it, and has much wider &C.
quaintance than any other minister in
the state. His services will be in great
demand and if the old theory is followed

worthy his hire"-those whom he serves
can make it's obligations toward him
comparatively easy. The Convention
has faith that the people will SO lend
their aid
SCHOOL HOUSE MISSIONS.
A broad mission field lies at the door
of each pastor. The country school
houses are excellent mission points.
They are good for lumber of reasons.

3. They will read our literature there

strength of the nearest church in future

SURPRISING IGNORANCE.

the people regarding our simplest doc

The report as Photographed above
was considered section by section.
The first section was adopted by a
rising vote.
The second section, recommending
the deciding of parish property to the
Convention, was briefly considered.
The plan was explained by Mr..
Dicker, the Secretary, and DIR. Can't
well. Several members emphasized
the necessity OF these deeds to pre-
vent the alienation of church property
from its legitimate uses. This Sec
ton was adopted by unanimous VOTE
Sections three to six were adopted
without discussion.
Section seven, relating to the de-
crease in parish contributions gave
rise to various remarks touching the
financial needs of the Convention.
Pending it's consideration an appeal
was made to the congregation for
subscriptions to the amount OF S3OO,
to pay the defect and make secure
the employment of State Mission
airy for next year.
The appeal was successful, and
the full amount pledged. Drs. Can't
well and Nash were the platform
managers of this particular business
and made the half hour quite lively
as we'll as profitable to the Conven-
ton. The seventh section was
adopted at the close of the appeal
when the Secretary announced that
the deficit had been secured.
Life Memberships.
The Treasurer, III. FL. Massey, made
a further appeal for Life Member
ship. DR.. Hanson and Mr.. Monroe
also spoke en- this matter. Ten per-
sons bought the certificates, paying
$40 each. Recess until two o'clock.

will serve another term.
The minutes of Wednesdays pro-

dissolved until the hour named for

IL. We heartily commend the earnest
Work of Rev. John S. Cook, State Super
intendent of churches, during the year
and recommend that he be continued in
the same capacity for the next twelve
months under the direction of the Execu-
tive Board as formerly and on the same
terms.
The faithful work of this capable official
seems to us to have been along lines that
will be productive of the best results in
the missionary field.
We commend to the consideration OF the
Executive Board the recommendation of
the state superintendent with respect to
assisting the southern circuit, now under
Rev. E. M. Minors direction.

That Hoods Sarsaparilla makes tn
weak strong, is not simply catch line,
but an actual fact which has been proven
by the experience of thousands of people.
1t makes the blood rich and pure, it builds
up the whole system and puts all the or
gans OF the body in good working order.
1t also creates an appetite, stimulates the
stomach, and the result of all this is
strength in place of weakness.

SECOND AFTERNOON.

The Convention was called to order
promptly at 2. prayer was offered
by Rev. j. S. Cook. The considera-
ton of the report of the Business
Committee was resumed and sections
8 to II adopted after brief discus
sion.
The section relating to the Ryder
Fund was the occasion of certain ex-
plantations from members of the
Executive Board and Mr.. Dicker, one
of the trustees of the Fund. The
section was adopted without division.
The section relating to the State
Missionary was also discussed, but
all were unanimous that the official
was needed, and the section was
voted unanimously.
Lombard University.
No report being offered from the
duly appointed visitors, DR. Nash was
granted the floor to present the
claims of the institution. Several
graduates of Lombard were pre-
scented to the Convention and made
remarks eulogistic of the old insti
tuition.

posed from the floor and Mr. Laing
was elected. All the nominees We're
then declared elected. Mr. Winkel.

THE SPECULATIVE FEVER.

The fever for speculation is now
endemic here and must run its
course. 1t has the same decided
symptoms as it has else
where, the craving desire to get
rich. There is absolutely no cure
for it, yet known. All the expert
ences of Wall street, Lombard
street, and the BOurse rolled up
into little pellets, and taken three
times day will not even alleviate
it. Legislatures, time and
again, have tried to close up
or check the business of tn" stock
gambling hells," but invariably
fail. Everybody says hat gambl-
ing in grain, cotton and stocks is
woefully demoralizing, bu1 The
majority of men have a thirst for
throwing the dice, and the most
conspicuous spectators who of
course set an example to young
men. are as rule good men anu
"Christian" men.
A very considerable part of the
gambling in sugar stocks now 60
ing on in this city, is in principle
"che fa." We strictly exclude
from this description the invest
ment business. It is simply and
purely gambling, and involves
principle and broker alike.
