THE proposition of the syndicate OF
eight gentlemen, connected with st.
Paurs parish, in Chicago, to build
new church, some twelve or fourteen
blocks farther south, in exchange for
the present church property on Michl-
gan avenue, will come as surprise to
many of our readers. 1t is proper, how
ever. to observe that the matter has
been in consideration for some months,
and originates with certain of the most
devoted and generous supporters of st.
PauI's church. The proceedings of the
meeting called to consider the project
are outlined elsewhere. While the mat
ter is before the society for decision,
we venture no prediction as to the ulti-
mate result. 1t will be finally deter
mined by what seems best for the bus
mess future of the parish, and by the
majority vote Of the members of the
society. When the decision is reached
it will be promptly laid before our
readers.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

In the Union Signal, the official organ
of the W. G. T. u, of May 20, we OBJ
served an article headed, "a Pioneer of
Teetotalism-Anthony Benezet." The
article was written by Josiah w. Leeds,
Quaker of Philadelphia. Itsets forth
the fact that Anthony Benezet was the
pioneer of teetotalism in this country.
1t speaks of him as the precursor and
warm personal friend of DR.. Benjamin
Rush; and says that the position taken
by him on the temperance question was
widely known at the time. Mr.. Leeds
says, 1.-THE tract of Benezet, dissuading
against the use of spirituous liquors as
a beverage, was issued eleven years ear
lier than the treatise upon the same
subject. by DIR. Rush." The title of
the tract was "The Mighty Destroyer,
displayed in some account of the dread
full havoc made b. the mistaken use, as
well as abuse, of distilled spirituous
liquors. By Lover of Mankind, Phil
adelphia, 1774."
The article quotes, also, an extract
from small memorial which DR.. Rush
prepared of his friend: "Col. in, who
had served in the American army dur
ing the late war, 1.-THE revolutionary
war;, in returning from the funeral
pronounced this eulogium upon him i:
i would rather be Anthony Benezet in
the coffin than George Washington with
all his fame.'"
Having some recollection of having
seen that name, Anthony Benezet, in
connection with the history Of the Uni
versalist church, we went Immediately
in search of it. In ga Century of Uni
versalism," by Abel G. Thomas, page
"a, we found short biographical sketch
of this worthy man.
When twenty-six years of age he
taught school in Germantown and was
associated upon terms of intimate bust
ness relations, as well as friendship,
with Christopher Sewer and DIR. George
de Bonneville, both of whom were
staunch Universalists. 1t is highly
probable that Benezet sympathized
with these earnest and devoted men in
their religious views. Yet we do not
find the name in DIR. Eddy's "History
of Universalism in America" If the
Universalist church Of America may
claim the honor of inaugurating, through
the courage and love of humanity of one
of her members, the temperance move
ment, which, from so small a begin
ming, has increased to such grand pro-
portions, let it be known. 1t is an
honor of which the Universalist may
well be proud. M j. DEL.

as these demurring questions of DIR. At
wood more than intimate may be the case,
then the scotch Universalists in Amer
lea" not only ought not to do "the hand
some thing" but the thing asked to be
done would not be "the handsome thing"
to do.
In order to relieve DIR. Atwood's anxi-
ETY. and persuade him to give his consent
to the movement, so that it may be GER
tain to succeed, take pleasure in saying
that the sum of $4,000 of
which would be required for the site
would make neat permanent structure
that if the Scotch Universalists in
America will contribute five dollars each
the entire sum will be forthcoming, so
that such structure is within their means
that any amount contributed, if insult
hcient for the purpose, would be made a
trust fund, and would in time become
sufficient by the sccretion of interest, and
that with church building and the fact
of permanence appealing to the public
here "the numbers and ability" would be
ample to meet current expenses, and
make our cause fixture. need not go
into statistics in order to induce any one
to contribute, when state that it is the
unanimous sentiment of those here who
understand the situation, that the cause

it could secure permanent religious

trust that DR.. Atwood will allow any
doubts he may be afflicted with
"Those bitter doubts that RISE -

view "the handsome thing" he evidently
SO earnestly desires,

and when next he advertises a measure

he may not do SO in way that shall
cause his readers to doubt whether in his
great anxiety to commend he may not
have fallen into an unfortunate way of
seeming to hinder and embarass what he
would further.

THE BucHTEL COMMENCEMENT

The Commencement exercises at
Buchtel, June "a, although having the
weather against them, were in all re-
spects the most satisfactory ever held by
the college. The class was the largest
ever graduated, numbering fourteen !;
the audience, which filed the chapel,
was enthusiastic the orations were OF
a high order of merit, and were admira-
bly delivered. The dianer, at which
two hundred sat down, was excellent :;
the post-prandial feast was abundant
in wisdom and wit, and the reception
by President and Mrs. Cone was brill
liant and delightful.
A marked feature of the public exer-
cises was the representative system,
which put on the stage as speakers five,
who were selected from the class by the
faculty. Each one of these was allowed
time enough for the development of his
theme, and the exhibition of his powers
as a thinker and writer. The rest Of
the class were required to write theses
and hand them to the faculty.
The address before the literary socie-
ties, by Prof. w. H. Venable, of Cincin-
natl, was an able and scholarly produc-
ton. The annual address, by Rev. DIR.
Miner, of Boston, was marked by the
grace and strength which distinguish all
the public addresses of this master
in persuasion and conviction.
Buchtel has had most prosperous
year, and looks forward to increasing
success and usefulness. 1t stands al
ready, though only fourteen years old,
among the first colleges in Ohio-that
State of colleges-and is splendidly
equipped. 1t has an exceedingly able
and enthusiastic faculty, is liberal and
prudent in its discipline, exercises a
healthy moral influence over its stu
dents, and is most exacting and thor
ough in its educational work. We call
on our people to remember the cause of
education as represented by such noble
institutions, and to give them a gener-
GUS support by contributions of proper
ty, and by sending their children to them
for education.

We are panied to record this week the
death of Mrs. Merrifeld, the wife of our
friend and brother, Rev. J. Merrifeld, pas
tor at Plainfeld, Ill. Mrs. Merrifeld died
at the family residence atWoodlawn Park,
near Chicago, on Monday, 2Sth inst, after
a long illness, aged fifty-six years. The
funeral took place on Wednesday at 2
P. NJ, and the interment was at Oak
woods. The tenderest sympathy OF his
many friends and the brethren in the
ministry will abide with Br. Merriheld
and the daughter in this hour of their
sorrow.

THE GLASGOW CHURCH.

DIR. Atwood's paragraph in reference to
the call on Scotch Universalists to aid
their brethren in Glasgow, makes sever
al requests which it would seem uDgra-
cious to disregard. DR.. Atwood says:
at would be handsome thing for the
Scotch Universalists in America to do, to
erect a church edifice for their brothers
in Glasgow, as DIR. Hanson suggests"
Why rot then logically proceed to give
reasons why American Scotch Universal
lists should "do the handsome thing" in
stead of filing series Of caveats whose
effect, if they have any, is to dissuade
those appealed to from doing "the
handsome thing?" If "Dr. Hanson's ap-
peal is defective" in not naming the sum
required, if it is not practicable for them
to undertake it," if "the cost Of the struct-
ure" is not "within their MEANS" if they
are in danger of contributing ga few hun
bred dollars to project which never will
be carried out" and if "the numbers
ability and prospects OF the society in
Glasgow" do not promise permanency
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1886-07-03

hold the offer open for so long time
as proposed by DR.. Ryder. He wanted
those present to either accept or reject
the proposition made by the eight gen.
tlemen, so that they would not be eft
in doubt as to the society's intention in
the matter. 1t was possible that the
syndicate would be willing to grant
time for further consideration, but they
should not be asked to hold the offer
open SO long as next January.
The Rev. j. Coleman Adams, pastor
Of the Church, did not desire hasty ac-
ton taken, although he favored accept
ing the proposition. The center of
population on the South Side, he said,
was now south of Twenty-fourth street;
business was rapidly encroaching upon
the locality of the church. The num-
Der of attendants upon its services was
not increasing, and it would be better
to move into a residence neighborhood.
After several motions and amend
ments it was finally unanimously agreed
to adjourn for two weeks, and that the
proponents be requested to keep their
offer open until the quarterly meeting
of the parish, the second Wednesday in
October.
The next meeting to hear the report
from the syndicate, and to take further
action on their proposition, will be held
on Tuesday evening, July 6.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1886-07-03

JOHN WESLEY once said that no
people could continue to be religious
who were not reading people, and
contemporary, quoting this declaration,
adds: eve can hardly doubt that this
is true and that the formation OF a
reading habit is great source OF
strength, but in order that it be really
helpful there must be taste formed
for the right kind of reading. A good
appetite for wholesome food is bless
ing, but an appetite for trash or pol
sonous drinks is not so desirable. In
order that healthy reading habit be
formed, let healthy reading be provided.
There should be religious papers IN
every household. There should be a
library of good, healthy books, relig-
ious, literary and historical"
