LIFE OF HOSEA BALLOU, I'D, DID.

For any who have an interest in the
early days of Universalism in New Eng
land. and for all who would know the
strong character of the Universalist
Church, this new book by Hosea Starr
Ballou has great attraction. DIR. Ballou
was one of the prominent characters of
the last generation. DIR. Eddy, the de-
nominational historian. says: "Dr. Ballou
was, in attachments aud in the breadth
and variety of his abilities, the greatest
man that has been engaged in the Uni
versalist ministry" and DR.. Ryder. said
He took the foremost place in the de-
nomination as clear thinker and trusty
scholar" The book is very handsomely
gotten up. and is we'll illustrated with
pictures of DIR. Ballou at different peri
DDS of his life and of places connected
with his career. The book will also be
interesting to any Tufts College man,
for DIR. Ballou was its president during
its early years and by his wise manage
nlent laid the foundation for it's after
prosperity. The volume contains 800
pages and 80 illustrations. Price 81 10
by mail, postage paid.

GILMAN s. rem NER.

GILMAN S. RENNER was born December
16, 1922, upon farm near Goshen, Cler-
mont County, Ohio, where he passed his
life and died January "a, 1897.
The opportunities for an education to
one growing up in the country district
were very few in his early life, compared
with the present. Bro. Renner developed
studious habits and soon ranked among
the best teachers of the day.
His close attention to study and bust
ness gave him prominence in the front
rank of his fellow citizens Positions of
trust he was honored with all through his
life.
Early in life he espoused the cause and
became a member of Goshen Universalist
church, and through all the years he was
in his place, with a generous heart and
open hand ready to assist in the good work
of the church 1t was the privilege of the
writer to be his pastor for seven years.
In the last interview with our brother
Renner, several years ago, l promised to
attend his funeral if living when the
event occurred, which the good Father
granted to be done. January 49, 1857, Ma
hala Quinn Browning, of Fleming County,
Kentucky, became his wife, who, with five
sorrowing children, mourns his departure !;
but they rejoice in the assurance of meet
ing the loved one beyond the vale and
vista of tears. January &c, the day was
cold but the neighbors and friends in
large numbers came to pay their last tri-
butte of respect to one whose lips we've
sealed and heart cold in death.

tered the happy home and took her hus-
band as his shining mark. After Mr.

state and remained one year, when she
again returned to Indiana, settling in Terre
Haute. In 1858 she was united in mar
rage to Daniel Brown with whom she lived

WARREN DURHAM was born near New
town, Hamilton County, Ohio, seventy
three years ago and passed the most of his
life in that vicinity. In the last few years
he has lived at Versailles, Ind, where he
died Feb. l, 1897.
Bro. Durham was the son of father
Aquilla Durham, the early supporter of
the Universalist church at Newtown. At
Warren's request his remains were
brought to the old home and church where
the friends and neighbors gathered and
assisted in giving the remains an honored
Christian burial.
The widow and children are saddened that
they shall see his face no more. They re-
joice in that hope which 'looks beyond
the bounds of time, when what we now de-
plore, shall rise in full immortal prime and
bloom to fade no more" .s.B.
