THE CHURCH REVIEW. <br><br> Among the Churches <br> OF SALT LAKE CITY. <br><br> The Young Men's Christian Association having moved to the Alta Block, West First South, the Ministers Association will meet in the parlors at the new address in the future. <br><br> PHILLIPS CONGREGATIONAL. <br> Our congregation is not plagued with any "we do not know" people, but delight in the beautiful words of the loved Whittier: <br> "I know not where his islands lift <br> Their fronded palms in air; <br> I only know I cannot drift <br> Beyond his love and care." <br> It is very encouraging to note the unflagging interest taken by our people in the mid-week meetings. It is there we are most apt to exclaim with the psalmist. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help." There are a few generous ones who have pledged themselves to pay a large proportion of the expenses incident to conducting the meetings soon to be held. Let us be careful that no one is overtaxed. Twenty-five or fifty cents subscriptions will be very acceptable. <br> Mr. Sayles has certainly a wonderful talent for explaining the Word, making it so plain that no person can fail to comprehend it. He has the gift of teaching.-The Starr, Valparaiso, Indiana. <br> Mrs. Hawkes proposes to utilize the time heretofore occupied by the Busy Workers Saturday afternoons, in training a class of Loyal Temperance Legion young folks, and on the return of Miss Baker, the two societies will work together, thus making a very interesting and instructive season for the little people. <br> This evening at 7:30 Prof. Tibbals will use the stereopticon to illustrate the parable of the talents. It will no doubt be an interesting service. <br><br> LIBERTY PARK M. E. <br> The pastor spent the week in a lower altitude, in the regions of Huntington, Oregon, and Payette, Idaho, on the great Snake river in the prime section of the west. <br> The object of "Harvest Day," or "Good Tidings Day" is to add our mite, however small, to the funds annually collected to send tracts and Sunday school literature to the needy. There are several Sunday schools in Utah supported almost entirely by the Sunday School Union, to which half our collection goes. The Sunday School Union gave us our Sunday school library. <br> The following changes in the Sunday school classes have been made and ordered by the Sunday School Board, and they are to go into operation October 6th. Class No. 1 J. D. Gillilan; class No. 2 Mrs. Parker, formerly Bro. Salts; class No. 3 Mrs. Carter; class No. 4 Mrs. Steele, formerly Mrs. Burner; class No. 5 Miss Hammond, primary class; class No. 6 J. H. Gertz, formerly Mrs. Hickmans; class No. 7 Mrs. Gleeson; class No. 8 Mrs. Tatlock; class No. 9. Miss Graham, formerly Miss Chapman and Parker's united; class No. 10 Mrs. Boyd, class selected from school; class No. 11 Miss Franklin; class No. 12 Miss Hickman. <br><br> ILIFF M. E. <br> We were pleasantly surprised last Sunday by the return of Miss Edith Smith, who has returned from her people in the east, to labor with the churches in our city as a deaconess. Her work will be to visit among the people and be generally helpful to those who are in need of temporal or spiritual things, also to work in Sunday school and League and church. <br><br> FIRST METHODIST. <br> We enjoyed two excellent sermons from the pastor last Sunday. The morning sermon was especially interesting in its declination of the watchfulness and tenderness of "God's Mother Love." <br> On Monday morning Dr. and Mrs. Beans, departed for Fremont, Nebraska, where the North Nebraska Conference, to which Bro. Beans belongs, is now in session under the presidency of Bishop Newman. They will return in time for the services next Sunday. <br> Chaplain Lowell assisted at the communion service last Sunday, and will conduct the service and preaching this morning. The Chaplain does not weary in well doing, and always responds when the church calls upon him. We take pleasure in assuring him that his continued kindness to us is highly appreciated. <br> The semi-annual election of officers of the Epworth League chapter of the church will take place tomorrow evening, Monday October 7th, at 7:30 p.m. Preparations are making for a good social time. Everyone is invited. A more extended notice will be found in the Epworth Leaguer column. <br> The ladies found it impossible because of a vanity of difficulties, to have the lunch on Friday as had been expected. Another time it is not expected that the same hindrances will interfere. <br> On Tuesday, Oct. 8th at 7:30 p. m., Mrs. Plumer will resume the meetings of the Probationer class. The class will be reorganized as a Members class for study of the church history and polity. <br> It had been expected to have a song service this evening, but circumstances have made it impracticable. Rev. Francis Hermans, of the Scandinavian Methodist church of this city, has kindly consented to preach for us, and will hold the evening service. <br><br>
