enthused, and the work in all depart
ments is improving right along. The

THE CENT-A DAY PLAN.
The recent plan adopted by the Cen
eraI Convention, through it's Secretary,
Rev. H. w. Rugg, D. D., deserves the
hearty cooperation of all who wish to
see our faith spread, and our denomina-
tional borders extended. There are very
few Universalist families who are unable
to set apart one cent each day for the
benefit of their religion, and many can
give larger sum. This movement will
net succeed, without the cooperation of
our ministers, by obtaining and report
to DR.. Rugg, the names of those willing
to sign pledges, and receive boxes for
daily deposits. We trust every Ohio
pastor will take hold of this work. One
half of all money raised in this manner
will be returned to the Convention in
which it is collected.
