FACULTY LECTURES AT BUCHTEL COL
LEGE.
The students Of Buchtel College are
enjoying this year, among many other
rare privileges, a course of lectures by
members of the Faculty. Recently
Prof. w. D. Shipman delivered lecture
on "a Representative Man." He dwelt
casually on the representative man" of
America, Europe and Italy, and then re-
ferred to Greece, which produced Sophie
Giles. the poet, who seemed an embodi-

to this man, who maintained through a
long life, all the characteristics Of noble
thought and action.
THE CONVENTION.
The time for the annual meeting of the
Ohio Universalist Convention and it's
auxiliaries is rapidly drawing near. and
it is high time that churches, Sunday
schools, Missionary Alliances and Y. p.
G. Unions should elect their delegates,
and report their names to the various
secretaries. We trust that delegates
will not only be elected, but that they
will be chosen from those who will at
tend, and who, while there, will give strict
attention to the interests of the church
in all departments. Our church in
Cleveland will gladly welcome all whose
attendance will be legitimate but have
no desire to provide for those whose chief
object is to take advantage of cheap fare
and free entertainment for sight seeing.
All persons who expect to attend. should
as soon as possible. report their names,
the date of arrival, and time they expect
to remain, to Miss Jessie w. Giffen,

THE ALLIANCE MISSIONARY.
A correspondent says: REV. A. E.
Danforth, the Missionary OF the Alliance,
has visited each of the four churches in
Eldorado circuit, and l believe has done
much good in each place in encouraging
the ladies to larger efforts. believe in
this missionary work. We have SO many
churches in the State that little help
might encourage to start afresh, and
soon become self-sustaining and useful
in helping Others" We will be glad
when all Universalists come to believe
with our sister in Missionary work.
Then our churches will rapidly increase
in numbers, and our faith rapidly de.
velop as saving power to mankind. We
rejoice, however, in the fact that every
year witnesses large increase of effort.
to proclaim in all directions the good
news of Gods increasing love to all man.
