Melted the school nearly $40; $45 of this
goes to the State Missionary Fund and
the balance to the purchase Of music
books for the school. A large audience
was present to enjoy the exercises and
encourage the children and their faithful
helpers. On the 23d the school will pic
mic at beautiful lake few miles out OF
the city.
The following, in reference to DR..
Tucker at Upper Sandusky, will be of in
terest to the readers of our church paper.
It is taken from the Wydndot Repitb-
Ican:
DR.. Tucker is recognized by the intelligent
portion of this community as one of the ablest
divines that ever visited the town. His COM
bination of logic and eloquence is such that,
his premises being admitted, his hearers are
forced to his conclusions. In the evening
his discourse was directed to the causes pro-
ducing cyclones, tornadoes, etc. He refuted
the idea held by many, that they are judg-
ments and visitations of divine wrath, and
clearly established, in the minds of all intel
ligent persons, that they are effects resulting
from natural causes. The choir not only
merits mention, but should receive COM
mendation. It's equal is nowhere to be found
in this section. We will say to the intelli-
gent and cultured portion of the community,
that by going to the Universalist church they
can listen to discourses that are logically and
fairly discussed, and where superstition is at
discount.
The Universalist"
Our church papers have OF late been
specially wide awake and alert in supply
ing their readers with full reports of col
lege commandments, State Conventions,
Associations, Flower Sundays, and all
other matters of moment to all such as
are interested in our UNCONVENTIONAL
work; and none have been more indus
trious or enterprising in this line OF
good work than The UNIvERsALIsT.
Certainly to the people Of Ohio and the
great Northwest generally it must COM
mend itself most highly. Its value to
our homes and to the various denomina-
tional enterprises is not to be computed
from pecuniary standpoint. To realize
this we have but to consider our condi-
ton were we deprived of such agencies
altogether. Our work would be almost
hopeless without the ir influence. Wespeak
our sincere conviction, which we desire to
express and have expressed on all proper
occasions. The Publishing House needs
the support of all who are in sympathy
with the work of our church, that it may
continue to furnish readers with first
class paper in which all may feel just
pride, and one that will give character
and influence to our cause. But our
homes and our local work need The
UNIvERsALIsT as surely as the publish
ers need to have large subscril ton list
to make the paper self-supporting; and I
am confident that those who are close
readers Of their church paper will bear
me out in this statement; and those who
seldom or never read such papers do not
realize their own loss. We are anxious to
see The UNIvERsALIsT put upon a basis Of
assured success never attained by either
of it's predecessors; and this can be done
only by giving it generous patronage.
Death of a Buchtel Student.
A very sudden and sad death occurred
here on last Sunday morning. Mr.. Will
lam E. Hugill, for six years student in
Buchtel College years in the pre-
paratory department and three years in
the college-was stricken down very sud-
denly with peritonitis. He was bright
and promising young man of twenty
years of age, with good business traits
and we'll known to a large number of
our students. He was on the street a
few days before his death in apparently
perfect health and had before him a
bright prospect in life. His father and
brother were away in West Virginia at
the time of his death, experimenting the
building of some bridges where Will was
to go in few days to do the engineer
ing. On Monday he complained of feel
ing unwell, on Wednesday he consulted
physician and on Sunday morning at
four o'clock he passed on to the side
of the silent majority. A large con-
course of friends and relatives assembled
at the home of his parents in this city on
Tuesday evening to attend the funeral
services, which were brief and tender.
To the bereaved friends and relatives we
extend our sympathy in this their great
sorrow.
