It Is. to be hoped that on their return to our city wo may hear fiom Colonel and Mrs. Holes of the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, the cultured and wealthy white people ot the Islands, and the dignified, hospitable and amiable na tives. What Univcrsnlists Believe. Next Sunday evening, Rev. Thomas B. Payne, pastor of All Souls' Unlver snllst church, will begin a series of nine sermons, to be given on successive Sunday evenings, on the general theme, "What Univcrsnlists Helleve." The sub jects and dates are as follows: March SO, "What Is Unlversalism?" A pres entation of Unlversalism In large out lino. April G, "The Unlversallst Con ception of God." Is God a tyrant, an Impotent,' Ruler, or a loving Father? April 13, "Tho Univrsnllst Conception of Christ." Was Christ God or the Son of God? If he eanm to save all men, will he not -do so? April 20. "The Uui versallst, or il Comtum Sense View of tho Hlblc." April 27, '"Hi? tJnl versallsl Teaching of the Awfulness of Sin." Can punishment for sin be es caped? AVill God receive at once "death Ijed" penitents into "glory?" May -I, "What Unlvorsalists Teach Concern ing Punishment." Does God punish in anger or in love? Who but a tyrant would punish everlastingly? May 11, "What Untversalists Teach Concerning Salvation." Is It safety from punish ment, entrance Into heaven and escape from hell? or a God-liko life each soul must live? May IS. "What Unlversal lsts Teach Concerning Man." Is he born "utterly defiled," or with both good, und bad tendencies? May 23, 'ferlptunil and Cither Evidences for a Belief, in the Final Salvation of All Men." Docs the Iilblo teach, does God's sovereignty, justice or love require that some men bo ctcrnnllv damned or an nihilated? These are a few of the per tinent questions Mr. Payne will ask and answer in, connection with each sermon. Kncli service will begin promptly at 7.30 o'clock. The general public is cordially invited. The Incompleteness of Things. A sermon out of the ordinary, was ,. thnt.prenehed last Sunday morning by Dr. J. II. Sweet at tho Methodist Epis copal church. Dr. Sweet's sermons are always filled with original thoughts and carry with them much influence, but he certainly .was Inspired with his subject in this ease. He spoke of the incom pletgness of nations and of individuals. It' w'as an effort worthy of a preacher o.f iintional fame and, safe to say, was one of the most scholarly, eloquent and 'pqwlgrful this popular pastor has given' during Ids year in Oneonla. t Drj Sweet has been unanimously re called tothe church here for the coming i;enr, ai)d none cares to entertain the "thought?- that tho conference will net pother than favorable upon the official Abo'&rd'8 rfquest.

Sometimes it is the result pf a cold, or of grip, and some times it is a consequence of catarrh, wmcu unchecked has gradually in volved the lungs in disease. Such a cough finds its cure in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which cures bronchitis, obstinate coughs, lung disease, hem orrhage, and con ditions which, if neglected or un ' skilfully treated. lead to consumption "I'or twelve years I was a hud'erer from catarrh mid was treat. eel by oue or tlie best physlctaus hi the State of Nnrtli Carolina, who said the trouble had reached my lungs,)' writes 11 r.

Will bay Dr. l'lercc's Golden Medical Discovery with one bottle of Dr, Sage's Catarrh Keuiedy cured me, and to day I am well and hearty, and I will say further that my former physician, Dr, v, M, I.yday, recom. mends Mr. l'lcrce's medicines to me and to others. I am sure your medicines will cure any esse of catarrh that exists. 1 recommend them to all.", If you ask your dealer for "Golden Medical Discovery" because you have confidence in its cures, do not allow yourself to be switched off to a medicine claimed to be "just as good," but wlilch you did not ask for aud of which you know nothing.
