F. L. Cqlobove, Agent. The Congregational Convention. The Northwest Wisconsin Conven tion of Congregational Churches which met in our city last week closed its sessions Thursday evening. The Con vention was remarkable in being one of the largest and most entbuoiastic gatherings of the kind ever held in this part of the state. Not less than seventy-five delegates and fiends were present and leceived hospitable treatment from the Congregational church and society. A minister who has attended every convention for thirty years said he had never been present at so good a meeting nor had the time ever been when the Congre gational churches of Northwest Wis consin had so many yeung and vigor ous men in their pulpits. The pro gram printed last week was carried out to the letter. Every man assigned a part was present and discussed bis topic with intelligence and force. The opening discourse was by Dr. Dudley, of Eau Claire, upon the "Need of the Holy Spirit;” and although the trusted manuscript prepared for the occasion had been unintentionally left at home, he showed himself equal to the emergency by presenting in a thoughtful and vigorous way the above theme. Organization was effected Wednes day morning by the election of Rev. G. W. Nelson, of Baldwin, as modera tor. Reports from churches showed large additions and increased interest. The mutual relations of the Church and Y. P. 8. C. E. were well presented by Rev. F. T. Rouse, of West Superior. In the afternoon addresses were giv en by Rev. S. S. llebberd. of Menom onie, upon * Uow Far are Individual Members Responsible for the Spiritual Condition of Our Churches;” Sec. Talnton, of Chicago, in behalf of the Church Building Society; John Coldwell, ot Eau Claire, upon "The Church and Y’oung Men;” and by Rev. A. A. Berle upon-The Theological Re quirements of the Modern Pulpit.” The last was an eloquent plea for the ••faith once delivered to the Saints.” At the evening session Mr. Van Hovenbeig, of Eau Claire, a business man. spoke on the topic, “Are Our Benevolent Societies Economically Ad ministered?” The showing w r as ex ceedingly favorable to the societies. From five to six cents on the dollar does the business wheiv mdreds of thousands of dollars are handled an nually and many missionary agents employed. None of the agents are, or have been in Canada fugitives from justice. “The Macedonian Cry,” presented by Rev. G. W. Nelson, brought into view the seven Missionary Agencies of the church with their needs. A stirring address by Rev. G. A. Hood, of Ashland, in which the pos sibilities of North Wisconsin were graphically sketched, closed the exer cises of Wednesday. Thursday morning after business, and a much enjoyed prayer-meeting, papers were presented upon: "Pastoral Visitation,” by Rev. A. Pinkerton, of Osseo; "Church Finances,” by A. M. Bosworth, of New Richmond; and "The Commercial Value of Missions,” by Rev. A. N. Blakeslee, of Hayward. The facts and figures given in the last paper were indisputable arguments for Missions from the standpoint of the topic. in the afternoon the temperance question received attention in a paper presented by Rev. E. L. Morse, of Du rand, and the strong resolutions of the State Convention were reaffirmed. Rev. Wm. Moore,of Roberts, showed the similarity in faith and polity of the Congregational and Scandinavian Mission Churches, of which there are many in this country, and at least seven within the bounds of this con vention, four of which have come into fellowship with our churches. A profitable hour was that given to the Woman's Board. Reports were heard from different societies and papers of interest on missionary sub jects presented. The Congregational church believes in equal rights, at least in church matters, hence the appearance of ladies as delegates and upon the program. The evening session was occupied by addresses from Sec. Grassie, of Milwaukee, and Rev. C. IL Mclntosh, of Menasha. The former presented the cause of the Wisconsin Home Mis sionary Society, the latter that of the American Missionary Association. At the close of these addresses the visiting guests thanked their enter tainers, and the convention adjourned to meet one year hence in Eau Claim. After adjournment the delegates and friends of the church gathered on the lawn, to sing songs, speak their part ing words, and partake of refresh ments that had been stealthily pro vided by the Y. I*. S. C. E. A lit end ing to the pleasant and profitable days of the convention. Ammonia in Baking Powder. From the Scientific American. Among the recent discoveries in science and chemistry, none is more important than the uses to which com mon ammonia can be properly put as a leavening agent, and which indicate that this familiar salt is hereafter to perforin an active part in the prepara tion of our daily food. The carbonate of ammonia is an ex ceedingly volatile substance. Place a small portion of it iq>on a knife and ho'.d oyer a flame, and it will almost immediately be entirely developed in to gas and pass off into the air. The gas thus formed is a simple composi tion of nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is left from the ammonia. This gives it its superiority as a leav ening powder over soda and cream of tartar used alone, and has induced its use as a supplement to these articles. A small quantity of ammonia in the dough is effective in producing bread that will be lighter, sweeter and more wholesome than that risen by any oth er leavening agent. When it is acted u|>on by the heat of baking, the leav ening gas that raises the dough is lib erated. In this act it uses itself up, as it were; the ammonia is entirely diffused, leaving no trace or residuum whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky ap pearance. so desirable in biscuits, Ac., and so sought after by professional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by the use of this agent. The bakers and baking powder man ufacturers producing the finest goods have been quick to avail themselves of this useful discovery, and the hand somest and best bread and cake are now largely risen by the aid of am monia combined, of course, with other leavening material. Ammonia is one of the best known products of the laboratory. If, as seems to be justly claimed for it. the application of its properties to the purposes of cooking, results in giving us lighter ami more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove a boon to dyspeptic humanity, and will speed ily force itself into general use in the field to which science has assigned it. The Chicago Convention completed its work Monday of this week in the nomination of Ben. Harrison, of In dianap >lis. for the presidency and LeA I’. Morton, of New York, for second place on the ticket. No better men could have been selected as Standard bearers to lead the Republi can hosts to victory in the November election. A full report of the proceed ings of the gieat convention together with a historical sketch of the candi dates will be found on the inside pages of this paper. Mrs. Eva A. White, wife of William White, and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Parker, of this city, died June 27. at her home in Hector.

I .4 Teacher of the River Falla High School Send* Her Pupils a Miaaive i front Over the Sea—and the Journal Apl>ropriatea the Interesting Epistle. London, June 4, 1888. My Dear Children.— Do you know I have a good mind to call you naughty children because I have looked and looked for a great big letter from you all and I have not re ceived it. You see I am so very far from home that I am real hungry for letters, and especially from my dear boys and girls. However, I will not call you "naughty,” no, no, I will not scold when I am so far away, but I hope it wont be long before you all write. I must not forget to say that just before 1 left New York I received the letters which Bertie Chiunock. Minnie Bang and Katie Snyder wrote. Thank you. children, they were just as nice as .hey could be. I read them when I was about half across the Ocean and enjoyed them very much. You may have heard before now about our journey across the Atlantic. \Ve were on board the ship nearly nine days. We had very little stormy weather but it was quite foggy. One day we did not move at ali because of the fog. I was sea-sick six days. So sick I did not eat anything scarcely, and so I did not have a very happy time. When we caiue in sight ot land, at last. I was so glad that I for got about hov sick 1 had bccu uud was all well again. We have been in London, the larg est city in the world, over a week and have seen so many, many grand and wonderful things that it would fill a whole book should I try to tell you about them. Last Monday I went to what is call ed The Tower. It was built many hundred years ago and is a place where prisoners were kept. Some times the king would order them kill ed. I stood on the very spot where seven prisoners—some of them fine ladies—had their heads cut off. Then I saw the block of wood that these }>oor people had to lay their heads on when tins awful work was done and the very ax that was used. Of course they don’t do such dreadful things in England now. Queen Victoria is a good Queen—every body loves her and then all the people are better, too. 1 was also in a tower where two little princes were shut up by their own uncle and after awhile killed. The tower is called Bloody Tower. The uncle wanted to be the next king but he couldn't be while these two little boys lived for they had the best right to be king. So in some way this very wicked uncle got them shut up in this tower and killed and then he was made king for a little while. You see it is not always nice to be princes —they sometimes have very hard ti mes. Tuesday we went to the Crystal Pal ace. This is a building three times as large as the Normal building and all made of glass. It is filled with beau tiful plants and Howers and statues and curious things from all over the world. 1 wished when I was there that all my good children might have been with me. You will laugh when I tell you the Chinese sometimes say their prayers with a machine, when they are in a hurry. 1 saw’ one ot these praying machines. It looks like some of these new fashioned churns. The prayer—“ God be with me”—is printed in Chinese letters around the machine. The China man whirls it and goes away leaving il turning and he thinks that as many times as it turns around so many times the prayer goes up to Heaven. Are they not strange people to be lieve such nonsense. Last Friday we went out to Windsor Castle. This you know is where the Queen lives some of the time. Of course 1 did not see her but I was in some of the rooms she is often in and saw her throne chair. Windsor is a lovely place. 1 would like to live there too. But 1 must close my letter. Please write soon—al! of you. Bertie Chinnock may have this letter when you have all read it. Your loving teacher, M. 11. Smith. Picnic.—A grand Picnic and Straw berry Festival will be given by the St. Bridget’s Congregation on the 4th of July next. It will be field on the church grounds where we shall take advantage of the cool and open rooms of the new parsonage. All are invit ed to participate. Committee. The 4th at Hastings. Our neighboring city of Hastings will celebrate July 4th, ’BB, in a man ner right royally befitting the occasion. Hon. Frank F. Davis, Minnesota's most gifted orator, will deliver the address.

Log rolling, base ball and other sports will enliven the occasion. 2<)o Sioux Indians in full war paint will be present, 100 fioats represent ing the city’s industries will parade Hie streets.

The Cleveland Democratic Club of this place, is a memoer of the “Na tional League of Democratic Clubs” and the head of the club campaign in this county, aud as such will under take the formation of Democratic Campaign clubs throughout this coun ty. It is desirable to form one in every town, but if that is found im possible. to have two or more towns associate. The impending national campaign promises to be one of the most earnest and hard fought ever known. The Tariff question squarely made up as it is,—the verdict on which, shaping as it will, the policy of the government for several years to come, must appeal to every Demo crat, —especially every young Demo crat. It is earnestly hoped that every town in this county will have a Demo cratic club and will not be behind her sister counties in the good work. Hoping to hear from some one Inter ested in this woik in different towns In this county, I remain, Very Resjiectfully, F. L. Coldrovk. Cor. Secretary. Their Business Booming I’robably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at C. R. Taggart s Drug Store as their giv ing away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.

Your ambition is gone. Your courage has failed. Your vitality has left you. Your languid step and listless actions show that you need a powerful invigorator, one bottle of Beggs’ Blood Purifier aad Blood Maker will. put new life in a worn out system, and if it does not it will cost you nothing. C. R. Taggart, Druggist, i Teiqpef&nde. Conducted by the ....W.C. T. U. | “For God and Home and Native Land.” “How Best Promote the Temperance Cause?” [An address delivered by Rev. E. 1. Morse, ot Durand, at the Northwest Wisconsin Congrega tional Convention held in this city June 19-21. J If any one desires a hint as to what a comprehensive discussion of this question involves he will do well to glance at the different departments of the W. C. T. U. organization. It will be impossible, of course, to treat the subject thus comprehensively in a twenty minute paper I shall therefore confine myself to what seem to me ex ceedingly important aspects of the Cause at this particular stage of Its progress. 1. In our interest in the political as pects of the struggle, we should not abate one iota of our effort in the line of moral suasion. 1 wonder if, as in dividuals. and as churches we are do ing all in our power to redeem men from the temptation and dominion of strong drink! I have raised the ques tion with myself especially in connec tion with the rescue of two men in our little town of Durand, through the influence of the Methodist breth ren. While away on my vacation, I learned of a similar case,—all of these were hard cases. The saloon seemed io have them in its grip. But thro’ the power of the Gospel, mediated by common sympathy in connection with a series of meetings, these men were restored to their homes, and led into the religious life of those who belong to the household of faith. In those homes daily prayer has taken the place of daily cursing and brutality. As I have seen these transformations. I have asked myself.—”ln your en thusiasm and effort for a remote good —the abolition of the traffic,—are you overlooking in any way the good near at hand—the good which a gospel of power coupled with human sympathy, may bring to the slave who perchance is your next door neighbor?” And 1 resolve anew that, as a minister of Christ, I will regard no case as beyond the powers which human love and sympathy can mediate. The temper ance report at our last state conven tion rightly emphasized this Gospel as the first and fundamental factor to this work. Environment and system are important. Socialism has rightly magnified their importance. But no procedure is complete that ignores the sound philosophy of empowering the individual with a Divine might. We who have taken strong political grounds for prohibition have some times been charged with a neglect of the moral and educational work. I am certain the charge is false. But I raise the question whether we are do ing all we can in this moral redemp tive wotk. My urgent counsel is then that we who are such ardent workers for Prohibition do not in our efforts to surround our weak neighbor with a good system bye and bye, fail now to do everything in our power to make this same neighbor a strong, good man against a present bad system. 2. Our state report, before alluded to, mentions education as one of the forces to be used to overthrow the liquor evil, and calls upon the press and pulpit to give much of its best brain to this theme. 1 feel certain that the secular press lias come very far short of this requirement, and 1 believe that, generally speaking, the Congregational pulpit lias not met its obligation in ttiis direction. Many have failed of doing duty because, as they say. the “Subject is an old one.” That very expression brings them in to condemnation, for if there is a subject that is new it is temperance. No man familiar from year to year with the great Gulf Stream of the temperance movement can possibly call it an old subject. Others have been derelict because of the close vigilance and persistant work requir ed for marshaling into order fresh, definite, persuasive knowledge. They have failed to realize what a rich and never failing treasury of facts the temperance world furnishes—facts adapted to stir the popular heart, when seen from the present plane of public sentiment. I believe that among moral and religious leaders a much higher educational standard is needed for the promotion of the temperance cause. Let the pastor discuss before his people, from time to time, such themes as “Heredity and Intemper ance.” “Neurasthenia and Intemper ance,” “The Money Power of the Liquor Oligarchy,” “The Function of Parties.” working them up thorough ly and exhaustiTely. Let him resolve himself into an outlook committee call ing attention, in preludes, to new facts and phases of the great subject as they appear on the horizon of knowledge. 1 believe this sort of ed ucation is needed in our churches, and needed more than ever. Especial ly is it needed as the question becomes a political one. and the highest act of a citizen is applied to its settlement. No political action is safe that is not intelligent. 3. Purpose, aim and enthusiasm in tills cause will, from the nature of tilings, take on some organized form. In th is cause, as in every other, con certed action alone can hope for sue cess. We have massive organizations whose purpose is to promote the cause along the line of either temper ance or Prohibition. Such as the Good Templars, the W. C. T. U. and the National Prohibition Party. Large branches of the Christian church have incorporated temperance in some form with their organic law. Associations, by the hundred, local, state and general, have put on record a healthful Christian sentiment against the traffic. All such declarations im part momentum to the cause. They give strength to the weak and discour aged. One of the grandest things this congregation ever did for this cause was the enthusiastic adoption of that temperance report at Wh tewater last summer. What an impetus has this consciousness of solidity given to the cause! How many have taken cour age as they have read those direct, tieroic utterances, feeling that they were alone in the conflict! None of this crystal!zalion sentiment should be neglected. But I have been ask ing myself, can anything more be done? Can our churches take any steps that have not already been tak en to promote the cause? If a declar ation of sentiment and principles can accomplish so much in our confer ences, why can not the various churches in any community unite in just such declarations. I know that in many towns the cliniches have union temperance ser vices at regular intervals. To how large an extent this prevails I do not know. lam satisfied that much more might l»e done by such union of the churches in each of our cities and vil lages. It may be that it would not be practicable in some of our communities. Some denominations. I fear, are not yet half alive, but in most commu nities concerted action is practicable. And I do not see why there is not the same reason that Christian churches put themselves on reco-u in formal declarations of sentiment, as that the Christian Conferences should do it. In some communities there certainly would lie no practical difficulty, and the influence of such action would be powerfully felt in neighboring com munities. The comparative silence of so many churches is one of the great obstacles to th* cause, in their re spective communities. Instead of si lence there should Ire expression. It may require sacrifice on the part of many. It may be that resolutions of this sort would occasion social discom fort,—and ferment.—in some places occasion a social spasm, but this.will be no worse than drunkenness, dehr ium tremens and, now and then, a free fight on the street inspired by j the rum-fiend. I have no fear from I firm and wise declaration of senti ment, and I believe silence is criminal (light). (To be continued.)
