humanity physically proves that in
the spiritual world there will be no
change such as is implied in birth
and death. Already man is a spirit
ual being rather than physical; his
development has ceased to be an or
ganic process, and it must be this de-
velopm ent that will be continued
after death. On the whole, DIR.
Smyth's argument, while less strict
and more POLITICALLY put, is for mod
ern materialists what Bishop Buffers
was to the deists of an earlier time.

then shows that materialism cannot

shall be accorded the Convention,

the preliminary expenses of hiring a

Respectfully submitted,
JOHN S. Cook,
Superintendent of Churches.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-10-09

The Superintendent of churches has
rendered monthly reports showing the
places visited, the work done and the
sums paid to him on account of his
services. He has been paid at the end
OF each month that part of his salary
due for the month less the amount of
the sums so paid to him.
A study of the reports of the superin
tendent arouses feeling of regret at
the inability of the Convention, by rea.
son OF the lack of funds, to do more mis-
sion airy work. There can be no ques-
ton as to the policy of maintaining a
superintendent or missionary. There
ought to be at least two superintendents
One Tor the north end and another for
the south end of the state.
Besides the usual number of officers
to be elected this year there are to be
chosen by this assembly three clerical
and six lay delegates to the biennial
session of the General Convention to
be held at st. Paul's Church, Chicago.
beginning on the 10Th day of October
1897.
In conclusion your committee would
remind those assembled here that the
past year has witnessed the passing
away of three persons who were pre-
eminent in the Universalist church
work in this state. Their lives were so
exemplary that Universalists should be
proud to refer to them and should
strive to emulate them.
Rev. III. d. L. Webster was for many
years clergymen in fellowship With
this convention. Mr.. S. N. Brooks was
long an officer and was for short time
the president of this convention. Mrs.
G. B. Marsh was foremost among the
noble women of the church, and for
a number of years represented this
State on the Board of Trustees of the
General Convention. We recommend
that the committee on resolutions pre-
pare suitable memorials to these three
to be spread upon the records of this
convention.

The Universalism We Need.

If we really mean to grow and extend
our Church we must be Christian, Bib
lical Universalists. Zorosster had "a
sort of Universalism." The Reformed
Jews also believe in the final salvation
of all. But they base the doctrine ex.
clusively on philosophical grounds
very we'll SO far as it goes; but merely
philosophical Universalism can have no
future. The world wants Christian
Universlism. There is no call for any
othsr.-Rev. DR.. Steeetser.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-10-09

ment of the $40 fee required and to send
delegate to the approaching Annual
Session of the Congress to be held at
Nashville in October. Reply was made
to Mr.. Jones that inasmuch as the ses-
sion of our General Convention. at
Chicago, will occur on the same date it
was the sense of the committee that &C.
ton in the matter be deferred for this
year. 1t was also resolved to refer the
matter to the Convention itself in it's
annual session. In pursuance of that
resolution the matter is here and now
brought to the attention of the Conven-
ton and laid before it for such action
as its members may deem expedient or
best.
Your committee would further report
that with the aid of the money borrowed
the current expenses have all been paid;
that the $500 first borrowed has been re
paid and that there are still outstanding
two notes of the convention for 5000
each. The 800 voted last year to the
General Convention has not yet been
paid and that part of the salary OF the
State superintendent of churches due
for his services this month is yet unpaid.
In addition to the income from parish
quotas and from interest there has been
received this year $500 contributed by
Sunday -schools. This plan originated
in the Universalist Woman's Association
and the contribution came through that
association. The association has itself
contributed towards the missionary
work of the convention the sum Of
$500. The Young Peoples Christian
Union has contributed $4,000.
There has been received from the
General Convention s42.O2 being one
half of the Cent a-Day pledges collected
from this state. The treasurer has col
lected S3S7.73 in interest on the Perma
nent Fund of the Convention. Tie Per
manent Fund remains the same as last
year, S7,240.49. Included in this is a
fund of $1,000 now converted by means
OF foreclosure into real estate, which
ie at the present time almost unproduc-
tive of income. The Permanent Fund
ought to be increased. The rate of
Life Mem bership Certificates is a con.
venient way of increasing the Fund.
These certificates cost only $1,000 and
the purchasers become life members of
the Convention. The $1,000 becomes a
part of the Permanent Fund and affords
safe and sure income, available every
year for use in the Missionary work of
the Convention.
The income from parish pledges or
quotas has been somewhat diminished,
owing no doubt to the financial strin-
gency through which the country has
passed and from which it seems now to
be emerging. With the return of better
times the income from this source
should increase, and, we hope. become
greater than ever before.
The expenditures for the year have
been as follows:

reasonable prospect of forming a
circuit in this neighborhood, if the
time could be spared to devote to it.
THE NORTHERN SECTION.
At the opening of the year several
important parishes in this section
were without services. Among them
Earlville, Sheridan and Verona,
while Dixon was virtually in the same
condition. After considerable cor
respondence l was given an opportu-
nifty to preach to the Earlville church
as a result of several visits and con-
situations, the charge of the parish
was temporarily placed with the SUI
perintendent, and for four months |
have given it half my time. About
the same time the congregation wor
Shipping in the Zion Hill Church,
near here, were unable to secure
Prof. Chaplin as supply for their
pulpit any longer, and the building
in which they worshipped was des-
troyed by fire. l have preached for
this congregation monthly for the
past four months. Three of these
meetings were grove meetings, and
largely attended. The congregation
are now building church which
will soon be ready for dedication. /

Sheridan, Serena, and Verona, dur
ing the year. At Sheridan and Sc
rena three monthly services have
been held, and three services have
been held at Verona. 1t is too
early to predict results. There is
reason to believe that new circuit
may be formed in LaSalle County.

places in Knox County. Rapatee

regularity for several years. Ma

his labors. The parish is hardly
