THE NEW PRESIDENT OF BUOHTEL.

The official announcement of the
election of Rev. IRA A. PRIEST, of
Akron, as President of Buchtel Col
lege, was embraced in the report of
the Board of Trustees of that insti-
ton, made to the recent Ohio Con-
vention in session at Manchester. 1t
is almost twelvemonth since the
presidency of the college became va
cant by the resignation of DIR. Cone.
Professor G.. M. Knight was ap-
pointed as provisional president until
arrangements could be made to fill
the position. In the meantime Mr..
Priest was called to the Akron pas
torate from Newtonville, Mass. Hav-
ing had considerable experience as
teacher, upon the opening of the
winter term of last year, he was
placed in charge of the classes which
are usually conducted by the presi-
dent of the college. He was also APP
pointed to conduct the morning chap
ell exercises. In these relations he be-
came quite we'll acquainted with the
students, and endeared himself to all
concerned in the management of the
college. His rare qualities as an in
structor, and his executive ability,
together with his well known loyalty
to the Universalist Church, and his
sympathy with the students, soon
marked him out as the possible
future president of the college. Mr..
Priest was elected May 90 1897, by
the unanimous vote of the Trustees,
and has already entered upon the
active duties of the responsible po-
sition.
Mr.. Priest is graduate of Tufts
College, and is we'll equipped for
usefulness in his new and important
position. His scholarship is ample for
all requirements. He is man of ready
and winning speech, forcible and elo-
quent in address, and of great en-
terprise and decision of character.
He has been successful in the pas
torate and thoroughly comprehends
all that is involved in the duties
of the president of an institution
where the o,education of the sexes
has been in operation from the be-
ginning.
President Priest attended the re-
cent convention in Manchester and
created favorable impression on all
who saw and heard him. His address
on Loyalty" was forcible and CO.
gent presentation of the duties of
Universalists to their church and all
its institutions, and was worthy of a
hearing from the most dignified plat
form Of the church. His remarks
on the college also revealed his
thorough understanding of its pres
emit condition, financial and other
wise, and plainly showed that he
understood what would be expected
of him as the head of the institution.
There was a general feeling among
those who attended the convention
that the Trustees had made wise
selection, and that the interests of

but conducted in an orderly and engag
ing spirit. The social atmosphere was
Of delightful character. and the lunch
which followed the discussion, revealed
unanimity of approval which was
absent from the intellectual repast
which it followed. The thanks of the
ministers to Mr.. and Mrs. Johonnot for
the pleasant occasion was of more than
formal character. 1t was j sincere and
heartfelt expression for their kindness.

spirit in which the invitation was orig
inally extended.
The next meeting will be held with
DR.. and Mrs. Cantwell. 1902, 11Sth street,
on the first Monday in September. when
the brethren will have returned from the
summer vacation. Rev. Mr.. Gregory
was appointed to lead the discussion on
a topic of permanent interest.

sALIsT a concise note in regard to the
resolution on temperance. adopted at
the recent Ohio Convention. The point
OF dissent is we'll taken and eminently
just, and the advice is good for our re-
ligious bodies to 'say something or
nothing on the great moral and politi-
cal issues" 1t is advice that will keep
good for future conventions. when the
committee on resolutions is appointed.
1t may be fairly doubted whether it is
necessary at every convention to re-
affirm the we'll known position of our
church on temperance. Our record for
nearly a century on the question Of
temperance is such as would honor
any church and has always been sound
and consistent, and in line with the
best efforts of philanthropy and hu-
rianism,-invariably opposed to
liquor traffic in all its forms. When
resolutions are deemed necessary they
should be of an order not to weaken our
former affirmations, or cause us to rest
under suspicion. Better let the church
rest on its honorable record, than to
adopt meaningless resolutions" We

mitted, in order to give the Board gen.
eral idea of affairs, copy Of the finan.

Resoloed. That is is the settled policy
of this institution to keep all trust funds
intact.
The by laws of the University we're
amended in many important clauses, to
afford the greatest possible security in
the investing and handling of the funds.
The changes make the Treasurer, in
stead of the Secretary, the financial Off
GER, and also impose upon the Executive
Committee more rigid supervision of
the funds of the University.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Executive Com
mittee of this Board be and is hereby
directed to submit to DIR. Standish q
proposition to arbitrate the differences
existing between himself and the Uni
versity; further
ResoIUed. that the Executive Com

as follows.
This completes her twenty-second year
of work as a teacher. Nineteen years of
this work have been in succession. Miss
Shipman expects TO spend part of the
coming year at home, and the remainder
of the time in travel and with friends in
the west. Since the organization of the
Eastern Star in this village Miss Ship
man has been the W. M. and has been very
helpful to the organization. During her
residence in this village she has made
many warm friends, who will learn with
genuine sorrow that she is to leave us,
and will extend best wishes for her fu-
ture prosperity and happiness"

greetings to our church at Riverside
God be praised that this property stands
free to go on with it's good work Of truth
extension-grace loving, and brotherly
love. Long may brotherly love abide
and harmony of action continue. A
house divided against itself cannot
stand; love and constancy must support
it. Many, many are with you in spirit
both the living and the dead. You must
feel their presence-their benediction is
in the air you breath.
May earnest thanksgiving follow him,

strength and substance to pioneer this
acceptable work. Indeed, he has been
truly, the knight of this latest crusade.
Noby and manfully did he inspire his
followers with courage to meet and van
quish the foe that threatened the life of
our blessed church in which we stand
Thank the good giver of all. Peace and
good will reigns among US and God is

H.B. MANFoRD.
A motion was made and carried by
a unanimous "Aye" to extend a cor
dial vote of thanks to Mr.. Dennis
for his splendid services to the Riv-
erside church and to the cause for
which it stands.
Inspiring singing was interspersed
among the addresses.
After the meeting closed. bountiful
refreshments were served, and the
happiest week in the history of the
parish was ended.
On Sunday afternoon public re-
ligious exercises were enjoyed. Dr.
Deere, pastor emeritus, offered feel
ing and devout prayer expressing the
long pent-up feelings of relieved and
grateful hearts, and DIR. Hanson read
the Scripture Lesson. DIR. Conger
preached from John x. 10: 81 am come
that they might have life; and that
they might have it more abundantly.'
The discourse aimed to show that the
one thought which all creeds and
Christian organizations are seeking
is to follow Christ.
The meetings we're profitable, help
full; and it is felt by all that nothing
has ever occurred in the history of our
cause in California, whose influence
was SO powerful in cementing the
hearts of our people in attaching
them to our church at large; in in.
spring them with hope and conf
dence for the future, as the noble ex-
ample and splendid success seen in
the efforts in behalf of the church he
loves, of Joseph S. Dennis.
At the request of the Riverside
trustees it has been arranged that
the pulpit will be supplied by neigh
boring ministers until vacation
time" J.w.H.

Pennsylvania Convention
66th ANNUAL SESSION IN
READING.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June
8, 8 and 10.

Reading is an ideal place to hold
convention, especially a Universalist
Convention. Our church in this beau
tiful city partakes of the generous and
hospitable nature Of the people, and the
people partake of our generous and hos
pitable Faith. They know how to en-
terrain with grace and courtesy and to
remove all sense of obligation.
Most churches can welcome; practi.
cally, few can put to the front layman
able to express in words the welcome
SO pleasantly as DR.. J. Keiser voiced the
greeting of our Reading church; while
he trusted that the strangers who had
come would prove angels to entertain,
his people recognized the human needs
in the bounty of their supplies.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-06-19

DR.. Keiser presented some interesting
facts of history regarding the Pennsyl-
vania G srmans. showing that these PEG.
pie standing among the first in patriot
ism, we're also first in the movement for
religious progress; one indication being
the fact that fifty years before Raikes es-
tablishea his Sunday schools in England,
the Germans Of Pennsylvania had such
schools in operation.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-06-19

1t no doubt required much self-con-
troll to enable DR.. Keiser to say that he
refrained from pointing out the scenic
beauties Of their city for fear of tempt
ing the delegates away from the meet
ings, and he felt that the duty of the
delegate was in the church. There is
valuable suggestion here for the makers
of convention programmes. who often
try to attract people into our conven-
ton by telling them about something
outside!

Awheeling.
Benjamin F. Taylor

Have you never felt the fever of the twirling,
whirling wheel,
OF the guiding and resisting of the shining
cranks Of steelp
Never felt your senses reel
In the glamour and the gladness Of the misty
morning sky
As the white road rushes toward you, as the
dew bathed banks slip by
And the larks are soaring highl
Never known the boundless buoyance Of the
billowy, breezy hills
OF the pine scents all around you and the
running, ripping rills
Chasing memory of life ills,
Dashing, flashing through the sunshine, by
the windy void and plain,
The distant blue heights Turing onward, up
ward, to the strain
OF the Whirring wheels refrain?
Fled from prison, like a prisoner, sped the
turning, spurning wheel,
Changed the city's stir and struggling, Jar
and vexing none can heal
For the peace the fields reveal,
And with spirit separate, straining above the
towns low reach,
Found tender satisfaction, which the stead
fast SUBMITS teach,
In their silence--fullest speechp
Never known the wishful wand ring back in
pleasurable pain?
Met the kline, from milking, sauntering to pas
lures sweet again,
Struggling up the wide marged lane?
You have never felt the gladness or the glory
of the dream
That exalts as tired eyes linger still on sun
SET mead and streamp
Haste, then Taste that bliss supreme.
