IOWA.-WaterloO.- The friends of
our Waterloo church will be glad to hear
that under the leadership of our new
pastor, Rev. A. r. Tillinghast. this soci-
ETY. seems to have taken on new lease
of life and the future has brighter out
look than ever before in the church his
tory.
Rev. Mr.. Tillinghast has been with US
since June l, and during that time has
made many friends among young and
old, both in and out of the church.
Church services are largely attended;
the young peoples society has been re-
organized and is now in good working
order with prospect of becoming great
power for good in the future OF our
church work. And the Sunday-schcol
is receiving new additions each week,
and both teachers and pupils are work
ing for it's upbuilding as never before.
Much credit for these improvements
must be given our pastor. He seems to
be especially gifted for work among the
young people.
Sunday, Oct, 3rd, was celebrated as
Harvest Home" Sunday with us. The
church was beautifully and appropriate
ly decorated. In the morning a large
audience listened to very interesting
sermon by the pastor on the subject
"The Cost of the Harvest" making prom
inent the thought that "cross bearing
is the price of crown-wearing." After
the service eight new members we're
taken into the church and more have
signifed their intention of coming in at
Thanksgiving time.
Last Sunday evening the pastor began
series Of lectures illustrated by the
stereopticon. The first will be "a Tour
through Bible Lands"
We are occasionally cheered by the
attendance of some of our Cedar Falls
friends. Wolfe they have no service of
their own they are not entirely inactive
in the line of good work. having given
the Waterloo society some substantial
aid financially 10 the past year for which
we are very grateful.

Its managers believe it to be most safe

to be noted by any who may be waver-

selves reasonable chance of profit, but
aid the work of the league.

was widely known as Universalist.
His father was a soldier in the war of
1872 and died the year following the
birth of his son. The local paper of the

explained the patience with which the
Russian soldier endured the hardships
OF the weary marches and the privation
be had to endure in the country, alto
gether savage and very thinly populated,
in which the campaign in Asia was con-
Quoted. 1t also explained the enthus-
iasm OF the Russian in battle against
the Turk. for though at all times the
order of the Emperor is religious COM
mand and is obeyed without question,
fighting the Turk has an impulse that
would not be felt in a war against any
other people. The Turk. unlike the
Russian, always has the fanatical inn
pulse in war. for he fights none but
"unbelievers.' as he considers all Chris

Communication On The Creed.
A comm ittee of the Boston ministers
being instructed to present to the Gen
eral Convention certain proposition in
regard to the creed, desire to publish
the same beforehand together with some
facts that have influenced their action,
in order that the delegates and others
may have larger time to consider it.
Especially also because it seems neces-
sary that verbally complete statement
bs offered and passed upon and it may
be ruled that amendments cannot be
made after the Chicago meeting-unless
final actio is to be postponed still an
other two years.
We propose to offer the following mo-
ton:
a. That Article III. Section of the
Laws of Organization for the Universal
ist Church Up. of the 81 ed. Of the
Manusll be amended by emitting the
words: "of the Profession ct Faith, and"
b. That in the Constitution of the

WISCONSIN, Wausau. 1.-THE local
paper announces that Rev. B. F. Shook
has been retained as pastor of the Uni
versalist church for the coming year, an
action which meets with general ap-
proval. The paper adds that Rev. Mr..
Shook is quite popular with all. mem
bers of other churches holding him in
as high esteem as do the members of
his own congregation, and probably no
other pastor could be secured who would
have the same influence for good in that
position at the present time" The
church at Wausau is doing grand
work and growing in the right spirit.

INSTALLATION AT GRAND RAPIDS.

INSTALLATION AT GRAND RAPIDS.
AS initiatory to the new passionate OF
Rev. Leslie w. Sprague, two very inter.
esting evening meetings we're held in All
Souls Univerealist Church. Grand
Rapids, last Thursday and Friday. The
installation wac sort of appendix to
the State Convention at Lansing and
was attended by several of the preachers
who were on their way home from the
convention. Thursday from $50 to 7:30
q chicken supper was served 10 the par
Tors by the ladies of the parish. A social
time followed, and at o'clock large
audience was gathered in the church for
the platform meeting. The principle
speakers were Rev. E L. Rsxford. DID,,
of Columbus, o., and Rev. Thomas
Byrnee, of Manistee; Rev. Lee S. McCol-
lester of Detroit was announced on the
program but was detained by funeral
in his parish. The general theme was
Gods Coming Kingdom" The address
by DIR. Rextord was ia his happiest
vein, full of power and pathos.
On Friday evening Rev. Marion d.
Shutter, DID, of Minneapolis, was to
have given the sermon of installation.
But a telegram was received in the after
noon telling how he had missed trains
at junction point and could not arrive
in time for the meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Byrnes was pressed in to fill
the vacancy, and though the notice was

CURIOUS IDEAS OF RUSSIAN
SOLDIERS.

All the wars that have been waged by
Russia against the Turks have. so far as
the soldiers OF the Russian army were
concerned, had religious inspiration.
The idea that the cross will again take
the place of the crescent on the summit
of the dome of the great mosque Of st.
Sophia at Constantinople is firmly inn
planted in the mind of every Russian.
And just as firmly he believes that it 10
the mission of Russia to plant it there,
Every Russian regards it as the mani
fest destiny Of his country, and though
the day when Russian hands will tear
away the crescent and substitute the
cross may be delayed. he is convinced
that it is only question of time when
the voice of the muezzin from the min
aret calling the faithful to prayer will
be heard for the last time. When the
Russian army, under the command of
the Grand-Duke Nicholas, the brother
of the Emperor Alexander H., arrived
before Constantinople in the spring of
1878, he sent two kilograms to ST.. Peters
burg, one reporting the state of the army,
the other somewhat in the following
language: "My army is in sight of the
minarets of st. Sophia; we can take the
city with the loss of 1000 men," To the
first he received the usual acknowledge
ment; to the second there came no re.
ply. 1t was by this understood that the
Emperor did not sanction the enter
prise, for it would have been breach of
his pledge to Europe. In the army there
was great disappointment, and more
than one of the Russian generals, Skobe-
left at their head. expressed their anger
so forcibly that the Russian army was
withdrawn, and put beyond the reach of
temptation. But the feeling remained
in every mans mind that the next time
Il Russian army came to Constantino-
pie. it would be to stay.
Among the Russian soldiers composing
the army in Asia during the war of
1S77-S other ideas prevailed. They be-
lieved themselves to be fighting their
way 10 Jerusalem, to deliver the Holy
Seprlrhre from the hands of the Turks.
There was there the same religious idea,
only the object WAS different. After the
war was over l WAS told in many places
that visited that the first question the
Russian soldiers would ask Of any one
understanding their language was, Are
we in Palestine yet?" or "How many
days march is it from here to Jerusa-
leu?" This was very interesting in
many ways. but particularly because it

largely depend upon the efforts of the

Here. the words of the Profession.]
2. The Conditions of Fellowship in
this Convention shall be as follows:
!. The acceptance of the essential
principles of the Universalist Faith, to
wit:
The Fatherhood of G ID, The Spiritual
Leadership of Jesus Christ, The Final
Harmony of all Souls with God. The
Winchester Profession is commended as
containing the principles, but neither
this nor any other precise form of words
is required as condition of Fellowship,
provided always that the principles
above stated, be substantially professed.
ii. The acknowledgment of the Gen.
eral Convention and assent to it's laws.
C. That Article III as formerly num-
bered in the Constitution be hereafter
numbered w; that section 2 therein be
omitted. and that the other articles and
sections be numbered accordingly.
Some of the Reasons for Making this
Motion.
1. Our people are not generally living
up to the law of the church. We have
documentary evidence for the statement
that not half our people require the
Winchester Profession as a condition of
fellowship according to the law.
2. So great is the variety of creeds in
actual use among us and 30 much value
is attached to them by local churches
that no creed. however good, stands any
visible chance of being accepted and
enforced by all our people.
3. Reports show that the present legal
requirement of the creed has seriously
retarded our growth and has kept many
good people who agree with Us in all
essentials, from joining our church.
4. Not few worthy brethren declare
they can not in good conscience assent
to the creed. If they differed from it
on essentials they should of course leave
the church, but as they differ on un-
essentials only, they hope and may rea-
sonably ask that this burden may be
removed from their conscience.
8. Our proposition is acceptable to
those ESQ far as we have heard) who
have kept up this agitation over the
creed, and if approved by the Conven-
ton may reasonably be expected to
remove the subject from discussion.
6. Our proposition restores the Win
chester Profession to the place where it
was put by the fathers who wrote it;
and in addition. emphasizes the essen
tial principles of our faith and all the
statements thereof on which we have
been able to obtain any approach to
agreement. For the Committee.
