out our building project, is the low price
at which we can now secure our lot.
Building materials too are being sold now
at figure that makes this the time Of
all others for US to erect our edifce. 1t
is said by those who know, that we can
buy our lot and build now for one.third
less money than we could have done two
or three years ago, or will be able to do
two or three years in the future. To buy
suitable lot and build chapel will
cost between 81 800 and $4,000; our esti-
mate being $1,000. We reckon our re-
sources to be about $1,000. The balance
of this we propose raising among our
churches in the United States.
The Lot.
The Location.-The lot has already
been secured. 1t is at the corner of
Eleventh Street and Garfield Avenue,
and is in one of tb finest residence por-
tions of the city. 1t is accessible to all
the car lines in the city, being only one
block from two lines and two blocks
from another line. These lines transfer
to every part of the city. Being only
ten minutes ride from the center of the
city, and thirty-fve minutes ride from
the outskirts of the city, we think we
have one Of the finest locations for our
purpose that can be had.
Explanation.-The first picture in this
circular represents the church as it will
be when we have finished the whole
structure. The small cut represents the
chapel it is our intention to build this
fall. We expect to be able to build the
main auditorium in about three or four
years from the date of the dedication of
the chapel. To carry out our present
plans. and thus establish Universalism
permanently in this city, we will need
your help. We feel that the Importance
of this movement, and the vital relation
it sustains to the future Universalism in
the Southwest will prompt you to give
generously and promptly to the cause.
This will plant our banner firmly in this
city. and give to one of the most deserv-
ing and faithful congregations in the de-
nomination church home of their own.
Please send all moneys to

BUCHTEL COLLEGE,


Arrangements are being made to open
Buchtel College on Tuesday. September
10, and notwithstanding the financial
condition OF the country. we hope to
have a good attendance, especially pu-
pills from Universalist families. The
action of the Ohio Universalist Con-
vention at its session at Attica, last
June. should convince all that the man.
agement of the College will hereafter be
more in line with the purpose of its
founders. Prof. G. NJ. Knight, who will
be acting President until President is
selected is UNCONVENTIONAL Universal
ist, and is cordial and agreeable in his
manners. and will do all in his power to
make students feel at home.'
Mr.. A. b. Tinker, informs US that on
August 3rd. the Executive Committee
had meeting, and received plan, pre-
pared by the Faculty and Secretary.
which will place the boarding depart
ment practically into the hands of the
students to be operated by them on
CO operative plan. Properly managed,
this will be found more satisfactory
and economical method than that hith.
erto in force.
Now, word to Universalists of Ohio
and adjoining States. You may rest
assured that your sons and daughters
whom you may send to Buchtel College
will be under good and wholesome influ-
ences, and the institution will be more
and more under the influence of our
faith. The establishment of Theologi-
cal department, as contemplated, will
identify the College more thoroughly
with the Universalist Church, and thus
the College will become, according to
its original object, a positive force in
freeing the minds and hearts of the
people from the errors and degrading in
huence Of partialism.

Tho Chinese RELIGION.

Chinese religion has never had the
puerilitics, the animal cults, the cruel
ties and fanaticism Of other religions.
Like the Jews. the Chinese had very
vague ideas of future rewards and pun
ishments and Of life after death. Their
ancestor cult had no Hydrologic motive
like that Of India or Japan. The Chi
nese, like the Jews and ancient Egyp-
tians, had the philosophic conception
that continuation of life lies not in the
Immortality of the soul, but in the per-
petual remembrance of the righteous by
mankind. The Chinese could not perse-
we're with metaphysical problems, and
so did not advance.
Confucius appeared at time when
the Chinese felt the need of q religion !;
but the greatest of their religious re-
about 6O4 B. G.. or half century be-
fore Confucius. He introduced the word
Tao, way" for the idea of divinity,
which previously was confused with the
visible sky (Schang-ti). Tao is the ele-
ment from which everything comes and
to which everything returns. Lao-tseu
also taught that the departure of the
soul from the body was 10 disaster for
US. But he was too vague to be con-
vincing reformer. Confucius was not an
original thinker like Lao-tseu; he culled
what he liked from the older writers,
and allowed people to believe what they
chose. When consulted, he spoke in an
Oracular manner, and while satisfying
no one he offended nobody
