BEQU E S is
REV. ANDREW WILSON.

Many years ago an elderly man called
at my home. He looked sad and de-
jected. When asked if he was sick, he
said No. Being well acquainted with
the old gentleman, further questioned
him, and learned the secret Of his mel
ancholy. He was one of the early set
lers of Northern Ohio. When of age
his scanty clothing and his axe consti-
tuted his material possessions. BY
protracted hard work and the most
rigid economy, he succeeded in aequir-
ing handsome property. "And now,"
said he, sit troubles me more to know
what to do with it than it did to earn itl'
1t is not only possible, but probable,
that there are many property-holders
who are troubled to know just what to
do with their means. Honest industry
and careful economy, or good fortune,
has placed them in comfortable circum-
stances, but they are puzzled to know
how to use their property so as to do
the most good, or to the most effectu-
ally perpetuate their memory.
AS men journey toward the sunset of
life, they naturally desire to satisfacto-
rily arrange their business. And after
loved ones have been comfortably pro-
vided for, to what better purpose can
man devote his means than to building
up the Christian church? This blesses
the individual, and adds to the whole
someness of the home atmosphere. The
church is one of the agents that God
employs for saving the world. And
the stronger and more prosperous this
is made, the better will the world be.
Our faith is the need of humanity. The
world needs the Christian church. No
true Universalist will question these
statements. What is specially wanted
is means to strengthen our church, and
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-01-21

make it a greater power unto the saliva
ton of men from ignorance, error and
sin.
The opportunities are golden. With
sufficient means our church can be
made mighty power for good. To
extend the church is to help humanity,
by giving the sunshine of glorious hope
and courage for the work and expert
ence of life. AT present the means are
not equal to the demand. But are there
not men and women in Ohio who see in
the Universalist church the God-ap-
proved agent for the work Of advancing
the cause of human salvation If a
man cannot leave large sum, small
amount given in the name of Christ
will DO great good and bless both giver
and receiver.
Then, too, if man desires to perpet-
uate his memory, how can he more sue
cessfully accomplish this than by en-
downing the Ohio Convention, or some
other Christian institution ? The de-
sire to be remembered is natural and
right. No worthy intelligent person
wants to be forgotten. In various ways
is the desire to be remembered out on
exhibition. Some build monuments of
marble or granite. To reasonable ex-
tent this is not improper. 1t may be
considered commendable. But some
go too far, and make themselves ridicu-
lous in the eyes Of others. A few years
ago man erected monument for
himself, said to cost from sixty-fve to
eighty-fve thousand dollars. Many
who gaze upon that huge pile of gran
lite laugh at the foolishness of the
builder. How much more Christian it
would have been to have given the
money to some Convention for church
extension And how much more CRATE
fully and generally would his name
have been perpetuated Better than
any monument of dead stone is true
character that secures reputation for
generosity and philanthropy.
The Ohio Universalist Convention
has before it golden opportunities. He
who helps endow it so that it can wisely
and successfully use these will build for
himself monument that will live to
bless humanity.
Universalists have abundant reasons
for being grateful for life and its prec-
iOus promises. And surely they will
not neglect their opportunities for help
ing that faith that has so cheered and
gladdened their lives.

Within recent years an astronomical
observatory has been built through the
generosity of friends of the college, and
fine instruments have been placed in it
which make it suitable for class use in
mathematical astronomy. In its course
in higher mathematics and astronomy,
the college stands almost alone in the
State, and is surpassed by few in the
country.
The gift of Mr.. Oliver G. Ashton, of
Bryan, which was made few months
ago, deserves mention in connection
with the progress made by the college
in the teaching of elocution. This en-
dowment of three prizes of ST. 900 each,
in elocution for the three highest classes
in the college, will prove of great ad-
vantage in the cultivation and develop
ment Of this art among the students.
A teacher in elocution has been ap-
pointed within the current year.
A fine gymnasium named in honor of
its liberal benefactor, Hon. George W.
Grouse, is now nearly completed, and
will be in appearance and appointments
the finest in the West. Regular daily
instruction and discipline in physical
culture will be given to all students in
attendance in the college courses.
While the college does not inculcate
upon its students theological doctrines,
it aims to foster religion and to lead all
who come under its influence to respect
and love the ordinances of the church.
A large number of its students have
from year to year become members of
the Universalist church in Akron, MANY
are members of its Sunday school, and
not a few belong to the Y. P. M. A.
organization here. The authorities of
the college hope to make it powerful
auxiliary to religion, not only as stand
ing forth before the world, great in
stitution, honoring the church, but as
exerting a daily influence in behalf of
reverence toward God and love for
truth and virtue.

THE MODEL PARISH.
REV. E. W. WHITNEY.

Religious societies are anxious to get
''a good minister" By this phrase
they mean that their preacher should
embody all the Christian virtues, and
in addition be man of great executive
and intellectual ability. Are parishes
equally anxious to gain and keep the
reputation of being ''good societies?"
1t should be remembered that the sue
cess of our cause, in any field, depends
as much or more upon the people as
upon the pastor. A model society
would go far toward making a model

May God help us all to lay aside our
little personal interest, and any petty
grievances we may imagine we have,

Mrs. Dickens, the elder, had one
grievance which Lady Houghton remem.
bered. 1t was the conduct of her son
John - Charles father against whose
idleness and general incspacity she was
never tired of inveighing. There have
been many conjectures as to the source
from which Dickens derived his wonder
full gift as story teller. 1t is hardly a
far-fetched fancy to suppose that he in
herited his special gift from the old
housekeeper at Crewe, who was noted in
that way,

SPRINKLING.
The Reason the Job was Taken
from the Firemen.

When the clouds of dust were being
waited about and the particles of real
estate filing every nook. crevios, pore,
eye, ear, nostril and article OF wearing
apparel, and causing house6eepers,
Office boys. business men and, in fact,
everybody to groan with Despair, the
question was sprung: What is the
reason the tirem"n cont dampen the
streets like they used toY'
The query was put to q group of
iremen ct the hall, last evening, by a
HERALD reporter, the chief being at
dinner, and the answer was:
The city thought there was too
much water used. Aud. besides, they
said We made holes in the streets"
"Oh, then, it wasn't on account of
the cost to the CITY, that that mode of
watering was done away With"
"Bless you, no" spoke up Rufus
Hardy; I'VE turned into the treasury
lots OF money, besid 8 purchasing new
hose ard carts, as the result of the pro-
ceeds TT lived from property owners"
One of the boys ventured the asser-
ton that if the present system of
spripkiing was changed, sosthat the
carts could be at work early enough In
the morning to give the streets q good
soaking before teams began moving and
stirring up the dust, it would be an i'm
provement.

Another Burglary.

On Monday night, Mr.. S. H. Leaver,
bookkeeper for Mason & Co., after
going to the Postof1ice, returned to his
home on First West Street, and hung
his coat up on the poarch, leaving in
the pockets several letters, one OF
which contained 2 check drawn by Mr..
Jones. of Spanish Fork, in favor of
Mason & Co., for $93.21, while another
contained check from Fl. L. Cum
rnings, for $6 95. During the nisht,
some sneak thief stole the coat, and of
course carried off the letters with it.
They will not be of any benefit to the
thief.
