The September semi-annual meeting of the Genesee Association of Congregational churches and miuisters was held in the Con gregational church in this city Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday with a fair attend ance. The meeting was called to order at two o'clock and the organization was etTected. Rev. M. M. Martin. D. D , of Ovid, was chosen moderator and Rev. Arthur Metcalf, of Bancroft, was chosen secretary. The regular priuted program was then carried out. Dr. Martin offering a number of Interesting and very profitable suggestions in bis paper on. "What shall we do with our negligent and wayward churcb mem bers." The Doctor's remarks commanded close attention on account of the vital lm portance of the subject which is oue familiar to every churcb worker. The paper read by Rev. F. M. Coddington, on "Prayer, secret, family and social" was also one which was well calculated to exercise strong influence on the minds of those wbo beard U. The devotional service at half past three was conducted in a pleasant, inspiring way by Mrs. Arthur Garrison, of Vernon. Mrs. D. H. Hunt, of St. Johns, then read a practical paper on. "Utilizing the Social Powers of the Church," oue of tbe Ideas suggested by her being that of different families each seeking to interest some other family, outside the church and their own clique, in tbe church. Rev. M. Rnowles, of Durand, then closed the afternoons pro gram with a talk on tbe "Substance and accessories of the Christian life." The Tuesday evening program was changed by tbe necessary absence of Rev. G. C. Longman, of St. Johns, wbo was to have given tbe sermon. In his place, Rev N. H. Whittlesey, D. D., of New Haven, Ot, preached a short but strong sermon in which he showed the growing tendency of all denominations to look more to Christ as the great leader and less to patron saints and apostles. All are getting to this common ground of a higher appreciation of his life. Tbe communion service administered by Rev. J. C. Cromer of this city and Rev. T. H. Warner, of Perry, followed the sermon and then tbe regular eveuiug's address was taken up. Dr. Whittlesey's address on Ministerial Relief or tbe duty of churches to their disabled veterans was a forceful appeal to the hearers. The doctor is secretary of the national organization for ministerial relief and knows what be is talking about when be tells of tbe cases of destitution which come under his notice. He rightly believes in the need of more than the state organiza tions which are not efficient enough to do efftctlve work, but need to be supplemented by others. Wednesday mornlug opened with a busi ness meetiug, attei which an "Open Parlia ment" was next In order. Tbis discussion was opened by Rev. F. A. Stevens, of Ver nou. After tbls discussion of methods of conducting ministerial work, Rev. P. Scher merhorn. of Highland Station, gave an address on "The office of the holy spirit," and following this, devotional services were held under the leadership of Mrs. M. M. Martin, of Ovid. The devotional exercises iu the afternoon were conducted by Rev. J . S. Butler, D. D., of Alma, in the absence of Miss May Morelanu, of St. Johns, who was on the program for that duty. Among tbe papers which made up the remainder of tbe forenoon's work none was of more Interest tbau that of Kev. Wm. Ewing, of Lansing, who spoke of tbe need of more systematic study of the bible in church and Sunday school and In young peo ple's societies. In this work he pointed out the good use to which recent discoveries could be put in keeping up the Interest. The afternoon meeting, which was the last, was full of Interest. Rev. W. U. Warren D. D., of Lansing, gave an earnest address ou home missions, and Mrs. W. S. Anient, of Owosso, spoke on foreign missions, draw ing on her own knowledge of tbe foreign work. A very thoughtful paper of a some what different type was tbe one read by Kev. Arthur Metcalf, of Bancroft, on ' Re ligious thought and life lu England." Private Lewis Dead. Word was received Tuesday afternoon announcing the death of Private Leon Lewis, of Company G, 33d Mich., at Mon tauk Point, that morning from diphtheria, the report being sent by Dennis Donahue, the News-Tribune correspondent. When Company G left Cuba, Lewis was too sick with typhoid fever to be moved, and he did not reach Montauk Point until considerably later. After getting back on American soil, bowever, he was taken sick with dlpbtberia before he bad a cbanceto communicate directly with his pareuts, and uot a word was ever heard directly from him. Even the letters which were sent to him were all returned to the writers with out his ever seeing them. About two wevks ago ihe snpiiM ! ajMN pa uneudurable that William Lewis went past to get his son and bring him home If possible. Instead of being able to do this lie was himself taken with dlpb tberia and was even reported to be in a dangerou-i condition. Senator J. C.

Owosso will have the pleasure of enter taining the old Eleventh Regiment Michi gan Cavalry next Wednesday and it is to be hoped that she will a Btual do the matter up in right royal style. Though this is the fifteenth annual re union of this regiment none of the annual meetings have yet been held as far north as Owosso, the greater number of tbe com panies coming from the southern part ot the state, their rendezvous being at Kala mazoo. This year OWOMO is the favored spot, It being the most central point in Shiawassee and Clinton counties from which Co. B of the Eleventh was recruited. There are about a iofti members of the regi meut living within a few miles of Owosso, those in this city being Dr. C. A. Osborn, Charles Hunt, William Powers and Joe Terrlll. Geo. T. Mason, ot Owosso town ship, was also a member and is now vice president of tbe organization. Tbe regiment will hold its regular busi ness meeting In the afternoon Wednesday In tbe G. A. R. hall In this city. In the evening there will be a banquet in the Armory and an interesting program, headed with an address of welcome by the mayor, will follow. Betweeu one hundred and fifty and two hundred visitors are expected. The spread will be served at 7 o'clock and the ball opened to visitors at 8 o'clock. On Inquiry The Times learns that In previous years the cities In .which the regi ment has held Its reunions have taken hold ot tbe matter with a good deal of enthu siasm, the citizens providing the banquet at their expense. The boys well realize that our city has done about all It can be expected to do in such lines and hence the committee iu chsrge has refused to consider any such propositions. The committee suggests how ever that if business men and citizens In general would decorate the stores and dwell ings next Wednesday the act would be greatly appreciated and iu fact nothing more Is desired. First Football Tomorrow. Tbe high school foot ball team will open the season in this city tomorrow by playing the LauMug high school on the fair grounds. The game will be called at three p. m. Ad mission will be fifteen ceuts for men, ten for ladies. As tbls Is tbe first game of tbe sea' son and none but high school players are al lowed on either team, all lovers of sport should encourage the boys and tbe entire high school management by securlug as large an attendance as possible for tbe open ing game.
