The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-01-18
GOOD POSITIONS

Ballo1, viii, as You request. briefly SAFE that
my father, AbIam Gale, who was resident of
Chicago from 1886, was, when young man, a
member of Father BalIous church in Boston
and had the engraving about 1920, and it has al
ways been in the little frame now containing it.
1t was highly cherished y father and con-
sidering the warm at acbment rat ext ted be-
tween him and Father Throop for so many
years, and their devotion to Univers ilism. l
thought IL BETTING that these three men should
be joioe1 in this pleasant association and ia that
spirit am happy to present T.. Wi h best
wishes to you, the Sundayschool and parish
am Truly Yours
E.O. GALE.
This picture was taken probably eigh-
ty years ago and has been in the posses
sion of the Gale family seventy five years.
1t is therefore of great historic value,
and it was noble sentiment of Univer-
salism, that gave it as Christmas gift
to Universalist Sunday-school, there
to speak to the coming generations Of
three noble, self-sacrificing, ideal Uni
versalists. The picture was hung on
the wells of the Sunday school room,
before all the school on Sunday, with
impressive and appropriate services.
TWENTY HEROES WANTED.
Heroes for Universalism! Twenty
who are wise enough to see great
providential opportunity, and have
courage and pluck enough to improve it.
Are there not twenty Universaliste in
our great church who are able and will
ing to give or raise 81 900 each, to secure
the munifcent gift of $4,000 by Hon.
A. G. Throop for the education OF young
people for our ministry?
Other matters will wait. This will
not. The amount must be raised by
the Goth of March, or the gift is forever
forfeited, the purpose of the generous
donor defeated, and the great results to
flow from such movement, lost to the
future. Where are the heroes of these
days, who are willing, even at great sac
rifice. to join the little band who must
lead in this pioneer work? One man
who is not Universalist, is willing to
give 81 900 on the merits of the good
cause; where are the nineteen loyal and
consecrated Universalists, who will
stand with him in this noble endeavor?
Must our beloved church bear the dis
grace of such an ignominious failure?
1t cannot, it must not be. Where are
the twenty. who would rather share this
load than see this golden opportunity
slip from our grasp? Ifyou will be one.
