TEMPO PERDIDO

Un artista ateniense, de veinte amos,
hastisdo, seg6n 6l, de los placeres,
porque siempre le dieron las mu1eres
al fin de sns pasiones, deseugaffos,
piensa pedir, para encontrar el gooe
que no ha podido hallar en- otra parte,
el auxilio del arte
cuyos secretos m&gicos conoce
enamorado pronto de su idea
80 dedica febril la tarea
de tallar una estatua tan hermosa
como La misma Venus Oiterea,
para excitar la envidia de Ia diosa.
Y aunque ell af&n de verla concluida
le sirve en- ell trabajo de acicate,
pasa la tuventud, pasa Ia vida
sin dar su Illusion Gina remate
Porque buscando en- ella
la perfection completa, sobrehumana,
10 que hoy encuentra bien rompe maffana
| y no la We jamAs bastante bella
Cincuenta af1os despues, por an, un dia,
contemplando Ia estatua satisfecho,
piensa :--Perfecta eres este es hecho
al t6 fueras de carne, te amarfa.
A Jupiter, que admira la hermosura
del sacro faego pidele la mocha,
y, en- el instante mismo, la escultura
Sc convierte On mujer hechs J derecha.
Al verla sl escuitor tan seductora
se mira en- nm espejo,
se halla csnsado, abatido, y vieto.

THE INCEPTION AND FOUNDING OF
BUOHTEL COLLEGE.
BY CHARLES L. oL1N, SECRETARY.

The first suggestion made to the
Ohio Convention of the establish
ment of a school was embodied in a
report of its Committee on Educa-
ton just thirty years ago. At that
time the plan proposed was to estab-
lish first-class academy to be open
alike to young men and women. At
that time the matter was referred to
the incoming committee on educa-
ton, which reported progress in 1867.
The following year the committee re-
ported resolution THAT the Con-
vention proceed at once to establish
a school with an endowment of S5O,-
000." This resolution was discussed
at great length by the Convention
and was unanimously adopted. The
Board of Trustees of the Convention
and its Committee on Education
were made special committee with
power to carry into effect the intent
of this resolution.
This special committee organized
for work in October, 1869, and ap-
pointed financial secretary to take
up the canvas for funds.
AS the work of soliciting help for
the new enterprise progressed it be-
came probable that sum larger than
the $4,000 originally contemplated
could be secured, and so it was early
determined to change the character
of the proposed school, and establish
college instead of an academy.
The next question to be consid-
cred was the location of the school,
and propositions were asked for from
different places for this purpose. The
site was about to be determined, | am
told, when proposition was brought
to the Committees attention that
Hon. John r. Buchtel offered to give
81 900 toward the new project where
ever the school might be located, but,
if it were located in Akron he would
make his gift 5000. The question
of location was reopened, this propo-
sition was considered favorably,
and it was finally proposed by the
Committee that if within sixty days
the citizens of Akron would pledge
100000 to the College and donate
suitable site, the school would be
located at Akron. These conditions
were complied with and Akron was
chosen as the seat OF the new college.
1t then became necessary to chris
ten this child of the Convention, and
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-13

The remarks of the Bishop of Ripon,
quoted and so warmly approved by the
Post, recall some words of our own,
spoken three years since:
II make bold to declare that it is no
part of our business to harmonize relig-
ion and science. Harmony is not pro-
duced, it ensues. When religion and
science strike the same note we shall all
know; and everything that hath in it the
divine concord of truth will vibrate a
glad response. And this note will be
struck not by fumbling to find it. but by
patient and candid and untrammeled
inquiry along the respective lines of
their providential pursuit. 1t may
not be possible or desirable to have re-
ligion as we conceive of it reconciled
with science as we know it. Better
leave that matter to the spontaneous ac-
ton of the human mind after it shall
have felt the force of all the facts and all
the reasons"
The missionary opportunities open to
the Universalist Church in foreign parts
and at home are such as stimulate enthu-
siasm in high degree. The door is very
wide in japan, and there seems no OBJ
stacle and no limit to our work. If we
are able to furnish the men and the
means we can almost go in and pos
sess the land. In the South Secretary
Shinn and the Rev. DIR. McGlauf1in
meet conditions which repeat the exper-
ience of our pioneer preachers in the
North in an earlier era. Everywhere
the message is heard with gladness and
the material for building Universalist
churches is abundant.
"A condition in some respects even
more promising is found in the far West
For there are energetic and enterprising
emigrants from Eastern Universalist
parishes. They are our own; and no
duty is clearer or more imperative than
to organize and preserve them. In Den
YER, for example. we have enough people
to make presently large and flourish
ing church. Timely work with them
and for them will insure splendid fu-
ture for Universalism in that city. For
merly we preached and published but
often did not organize. Our present
methods are wiser. We are not only
scattering the seed but making provis-
ion to secure the harvest
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-13

THE affairs Of the General Convention
are threatened with crisis. Large op-
erations are in progress for the main
tenance of which the Convention and
and the faith of the churches are
pledged. But the income for the last
fifteen months has been many thousands
of dollars below reasonable expectation.
We cannot ask the Convention to make
bricks without straw. The officers are
borrowing to carry on current work.
This creates debt. They are prudent
men and will not go far on that road.
The inevitable result will be sharp
restriction of operations. The warm
season is upon US. The habit is to let
neglected work go over till fall. But
the expenses go on. There must be
immediate action. Every church that
has not paid its assessment to the Con-
vention must pay something into the
treasury at once. 1t is in the power OF
the churches to retrieve the situation
within week.
1t is natural, we suppose it is
proper that those who have vacations
should arrange before hand for them.
1t has seemed to us, however, that there
is somewhat unhealthful tendency to
subordinate the regular business OF the
year to plans for passing the vacation
h. hn an
prescribed that there can be no inter
ference with routine. But in church
affairs the voluntary system" leaves
room for indefinite variation. Any one
who has taken the pains to observe will
have noticed that the practice is chang
ing in the individual parishes and in the
program of Conventions, 80 as really to
put the years business into nine months.
We raise the question. whether this is
not inverting the true order Of affairs,
and as matter Of fact. impairing the So
lidity and continuity of church life for
the entire twelve months, for the sake
OF having uninterrupted vacations?
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Evening Post, speaks Of "the ecclesias-
tical attitude forty years ago toward
evolution" Evolution as in any way
challenge to religion did not appear on
the stage until after the publication of
Darwin's "Origin of Species" That was
in 1859. The controversy" between the
represen tatives of science and religion
over this question was evoked especially
by Mr.. Darwin's Descent of Man."
which was published in 1871.
The Post seems to think that the
attitude of the Bishop of Ripon. as dis
closed in his recent remarks concerning
Prof. Huxley, is something new under
the ecclesiastical sun. But in point Of
fact, no attitude toward science in gen.
eral aud evolution in particular, more
definitely hospitable. has been shown by
theological writer's during the whole
period of contention, from Charles
Kingsley to Prof. Momerie. And it
would be an unwarrantable conclusion
that because DIR. Carpenter cordially
appreciates Prof. Huxley's service to
knowledge. he would not dissent sharply
from many OF his positions. Familiarity
with the Bishops deliveranees would
render such conclusion impossible.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-13

prosperity since have been the won
der of the nineteenth century. Lon
don's great fire in 1866 is the only one
since the burning of Rome that can
be compared to the destruction of
Chicago. The ruins of London's
great fire covered 436 acres, ragged
four days, destroying SO churches,
1920 houses, and laid bare 400
streets leaving 100000 persons home
less.
But great as are the calamities of
lightning, fire, storm, and hurricane,
the loss of human life is much greater
and appalling in those sublime phe-
nomena, earthquakes and volcanoes.
The Charleston earthquake OF 1886,
when large portion of the city was
destroyed and ninety-six persons lost
their lives, is one of the most recent
of this class of disasters, but also
among the least.
Cities, towns, and villages almost
without number have been wrecked,
destroyed or swallowed up in earth
quakes. One in Syria, Palestine and
Asia in 742 destroyed more than 500
towns, and in another four centuries
later in Syria 10000 persons perished.
In an earthquake in Cilicia in 1868,
$4,000 persons perished; at Naples
in 1856, 10000 people were killed;
and in the great earthquake of Lis
bon February 26, 1881, 1900 houses
were thrown down and 10000 people
buried in the ruins.
A still more appalling earthquake
than this visited Lisbon in 1755, when
in less than eight minutes the city
was destroyed and $4,000 of it's in
habitants perished. The number of
terrible disasters resulting from earth
quakes is greater than that of any
other cause, almost equal in fact to
all other cases combined in the loss
of human life and property, and in
mysterious terror and realization of
mans helplessness surpass any other
form in which death comes to man.
The allied cause, that of volcanoes,
alone may be considered to rival the
gigantic trembling and upheaval of
the earth in earthquakes, in sublimity
and exhibitions of titanic force. The
great eruption of Vesuvius in 70 A. D.
by which the cities of Herculaneun
and Pompeii were destroyed is one
of the most celebrated, though
scarcely SO destructive as many others
that might be named were it de-
signed to make this article anything
more than suggestive of the great
disasters of history.
