ILLINOIS CONVENTION.
Official Notice.—Annual Session at Karl
ville. Sept. 28-30.
The Sixtieth Annual Session of the
Illinois Universaliet Convention will be
held at Earlville, September 28th. 20th
and 30th. 1807.
Each parish is entitled to two lay del
egatee and for every twenty-five families
above the first twenty-five contributing
to parish expenses, an additional lay
delegate. Xo parish should fail to elect
delegates and parishes should be care
ful to select those who will attend the
session.
The meeting this year will be more
than usually important. Besides the
questions of local interest to the church,
delegatee will be chosen to represent
Illinois in the biennia! session of the
General Convention to be held in Chi
cago in October.
Several questions demanding the best
thought of the ablest men in the church
will be up for consideration in the ses
sion of the Genera! Convention.
Universalists of Illinois must first
consider these questions in their stale
convention. A large attendance will
add to the interest, enthusiasm and im
portance of the occasion. An attend
ance of one hundred, who pay full fare
going, will make it possible to secure
excursion rates for the return.
In view of these considerations and
of the fact that this is to be the Sixtieth
Annual Session there should be a large
and enthusiastic gathering.
It is expected that the annual session
of the Young People’s Christian Union
will be held in connection with the con
vention.
The Universaliet Women’s Associa
tion of Illinois will also hold its annual
meeting some time during the session.
It is the duty of delegates to attend,
and they will not neglect their duty.
Universalists not delegates are urged to
come and see and hear. Earlville is on
the main line of the C. B. & Q. R. R., is
easily accessible, and the people there
invite and expect a large attendance.

CHURCH NOTICES
GENERAL CONVENTION.
Closing Appeal for the Current Year.
To Universalist pastors and to all others
interested in the work and prosperity of
the Universalist Church:
The General Convention year, 1896 and
1897, closes with the present month. Many
parishes, from which financial aid is
sought, have as yet made no offering,
either in the way of a direct contribution,
or by the Cent-a-Dav method My earnest
word of appeal to such parishes is that
some contribution may at once be - ought,
and that the amount obtained may be for
warded to mens soon as possible, so that it
maygo to the credit of the parish in the an
nual report for the year ending September
30, 1897.
Pinched for Money.
It should be understood that the Gen
eral Convention lacks the means with
which to prosecute enterprises already
entered upon, and to furnish desired aid
to approved denominational movements.
The contributions from parishes and in
dividuals received during the present
year are inadequate to provide for the
support and enlargement of these under
takings, to say nothing of entering upon
new fields, where the opportunity- is most
inviting. Even at this late period if there
could be a general and hearty response to
the convention appeals for money, the
situation would be vastly improved, and
the forthcoming report would be far more
encouraging than it now seems likely to be.
AVhal we Have a Right to Expect.
First .—That all parishes throughout the
land, which have not contributed during
the current year, will arrange to make
some offering, however small, before the
close of the present month. If every
parish would do the "something" which
is in its power, the desired result would
be ensured.
Second-.—That all unpaid Cent-a-Dav
pledges be paid as early in September as
possible. Some of these pledges are dated
more than one year ago. and if payment
is made by those who are in arrears a
comparatively large sum would be real
ized. and a much better showing made for
the productiveness of this method.
Third:—That interested Universalists,
having at heart the progress and prosper
ity of our cause, and the ability to con
tribute, should make a personal offering,
as large as the conditions will justify, to
be applied to the missionary uses of our
church: and to reduce the apparent de
ficiency for the year to the lowest possi
ble amount.
Facta to be Kept in .tuna.
First:—All parishes in the Universalist
Communion are required by the law of
our church, to contribute to the treasury
of the General Convention each year. This
obligation rests upon each parish in fel
lowship.
Second:—That many of the parishes
have not contributed, and thus the con
vention indebtedness has been incurred
and has grown to its present proportions,
while the missionary work of our church
has been sadly restricted.
Third: That a contribution from each
Universalist family, averaging one cent a
day for the year, would provide for the pay
ment of the convention indebtedness, and
supply means sufficient for doing important
work to which our church at large is com
mitted. as well as aiding the various state
conventions in putting forth desired efforts
to promote the growth of our cause in
their respective jurisdictions.
I’r.'inpt Action Urged.
If any parish has not arranged to meet
the call of the General Convention by the
Cent-a-Day method, or if only a few
pledges have been obtained, insufficient
to provide for the amount called for during
the present year, prompt action should be
taken to gather the desired offering, or
at least so much of it as possible, by some
other method. Get the offering, small or
large, and you will have done your duty.
A Personal Matter.
My present call is not altogether to
parishes, but to individual believers as
well. There is a personal responsibility
and privilege in this matter; it is indi
viduals who constitute the parish, and
who make up the State Convention
and the General Convention. If these
individuals withhold contributions, par
ishes and conventions alike are pinched
for money. If there is a personal interest
awakened, the desired offering from the
parish is likely to come: or, if this fails,
there will be found some way in which
the individual believer will signify zeal
for the cause, and make a practical ex
pression of his or her purpose to con
tribute in support of denominational in
erests.
The Time Is Short.
Only one short month remains in which
to put parishes and individuals upon the
contributing list. In some way. by some
method, I solicit a contribution from
parishes: and I also make this additional
appeal to the individual members of our
church, that they shall contribute to the
•ause; so that, marching together in the
fulfillment of a common purpose, and in
the doing of a common work, we may
enter into a larger fellowship as Univer
salists and as Christians, and help to ad
vance our Lord’s Kingdom upon earth.
Remember the financial year of the
General Convention closes September 30,
1997. Parish and individual contributions
sent to this office previous to that date
will be credited in the report of the pres
ent year. Henry W. Rvgg,
Financial Secretary.
If the garden were always plowed as
sooc as the main crops were off and
sowed witn rye as a winter covering,
one half the difficulty in lighting weeds
the following season would be prevent
ed. The rye will also take up some
fertility which would be washed away
by winter and spring Hoods and lost.
The saving of fertility is quite as neces
sary as adding to it by fresh applica
tions of manure.

LEWIS CONNER.
Lewis Conner was born Nov. 12, 1823,
and was the youngest son and child of
Lewis Conner, Sr., an old-school Baptist
minister, who, coming from Virginia,
settled in northern Kentucky, and served a
circuit of churches some thirty years. He
married Jemima Aylor, Feb. 20, 1844. To
them were born live sons. The eldest died
in infancy. Four survive, the youngest
being Rev. C. C. Conner, now pastor of
the Universalist Church, La Crosse, Wis.
The father and mother joined the
church under the ministry of Rev. S. P.
Carlton, and with one son helped to form
the organization of the first Universal
ist Church of Burlington, Ivy., May,
1876. They have witnessed the most of
their sons snd daughter-in-laws and
grandchildren join the church of their
choice.
Mr. Conner has been in failing health
for a few years. His condition became
serious in the early part of the summer,
and at the home of his son O. P. Conner,
near Burlington, he passed peacefully
from earth Aug. 13, 1867. in his seventy
fourth year, having fulfilled faithfully
and well his mission as man of business,
citizen, son, brother, husband, father.
The local paper said of him: “He sus
tained an enviable reputation for honest
dealing with his feilowmen, and Lewis
Conner's word in a trade was as good as
his bond.”

PREFACE.
“A Solid foundation should be laid for every fabric—ba..con-house or stone
chapel. Every book, whether narrative or novel, literary, scientific or religious,
Bhould be based on Principles of truth, purity and righteousness, which enter into
the composition of all true character, and are indispensable to real success, happi
ness and honor. Such principles will find illustrations in the following pages, in
some ordeals the most severe and forbidding, wherein a firm integrity alone ob
tains the victory.
“ Whatever tends to disperse the clouds gathering around the fabric of the
Gospel, and remove the darkness inspired by modern sophists, thus inspiring hope
when despondency was becoming fatal, let it come from whatever source it may,
is doing the world a service for all men should be thankful."
