WISCONSIN. = At Wausau. : Uni
versalism is doing well. spirit of life
and enterprise is working and good re-
suits follow. Congregations are grow
ing both morning and evening. The
Pilot-Review describes recent service
as follows:
Rev. B. F. Shook gave very fine adj
dress on Sunday evening before the
Cutler Post G. A. r. and their friends.
The members attended in a body and
had reserved seats assigned to them.
The rest of the church was filled to the
utmost and it is safe to say that the
Universalist church has never held
such large congregations as have been
attending the Sunday evening services
for the past four weeks. The Ryan
orchestra was present and greatly
helped the choir with their music.
Rev. Mr.. Shocks subject was "Abra-
ham Lincoln, his Country's Saviour and
the Redeemer of Race from Bondage"
He gave short sketch of Lincoln's life
and showed how he was prepared for
the leadership of the country in it's
most trying time. The address was
greatly enjoyed and the most profound
attention prevailed throus hout.

program of patriotic music, and the re-.

not little to the splendid record of
Grace Church as an institution of help

doing good work. Plans for campaign

The pastor, Rev. H. L. Veazey writes:
You will note that mornings are de.

the direct method, and in the evening
by the indirect. for it is impossible to
preach upon any theme from Univer.

would or must. from the partialist point
or view. AT least, so it seems to me.
For instance. in the treatment of the
question, Does it Pay to Live?'it makes
agreat difference whether one has the
Joy OF world wide hope to make life
sweet or not.
u find that the hardest thing to do,
with most people. is to break through
the crust OF satisfaction in self. salvation
which has been built around SO many

many men are reconciled to the exist.

their own escape from it. Many of the

THE RELATIVE STRENGTH.
A correspondent inquiries in regard to
the relative strength of the Unitarian
and Universalist churches in Ohio. In
reply we state that there are five Unitar.
ian societies in this State, viz: two in
Cincinnati, one of which is quite strong,
1.-THE other is mission, and meets n a
hall) one in Cleveland in fair condi-
ton, having two women as pastors, one
in Toledo. and another in Marietta.
Some Universalists in Toledo attend the
Unitarian church there. but from letters
received at sundry times. we learn that
there is strong desire on the part of
macy Universalists to have a church Of
our denomination esta blished there.
IN MARIETTA.
We once had quite a strong church in
Marietta. but the building had grown
old and had been seriously damaged by
floods of the Ohio river. There was also
a small Unitarian organization, who
worshipped in magnificent house
erected by wealthy individual, and
decided to the Unitarian church. A
proposition was made by the Unitarian ms
to the Universaists to unite with them.
After elaboration the union was ma de
under the name of the United Unitarian
and Universalist society" it being under
stood that persons desiring church mem
bership could dictate which church
should enroll their names. 1t was also
understood that pastors could be chosen
from either denomination. as embers
of the United Society might decide. TT Q
Universalist church had small fund,
the proceeds of sale of their old church,
aud we understand that they maintain
their organization in order to control
and enjoy proceeds of this fund.
On the other hand. there are over
eighty Universalist churches in Ohio.
Some of them, it is true. are small in
number and weak financially. Thel Q
are number of places where there are
Univerealists enough to form the nuclei
of churches, could they be brought to-
gether and set TO work under wise lead
ership. We think the foregoing is a
fair statement OF the relative strength
of the two denominations.

has been rendered necessary by the
large number of deaths OF infants

average having been for some time

where no such law as yet prevails, the
average is still larger, possibly in con-
sequence of the extensive insurance of
