Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Columbian Congress of the Universalist Church: Papers and Addresses at the Congress, Held as a Section of the World's Congress Auxiliary of the Columbian Exposition 1893 It will be a long coveted Opportunity to make the world better acquainted with the genius of our faith. The best thoughts Of our leading thinkers will not only be listened to on this great occasion, but will be placed in respectful com parison with those of other leading religious thinkers, and circulated throughout the world. Let us, therefore, unitedly and with characteristic thoroughness, set forth the honorable history and sublime principles to which our church is couse crated, in order that the reading and thoughtful portion of mankind may no longer be excused for ignorance regarding our aims and Objects as a Christian organization, which stands second to none in the advocacy of moral and social reforms, and which is seeking to be a co-worker with all other Christian bodies in building the Kingdom of Heaven among men. That the opportunity thus indicated was duly improved the papers presented in this volume furnish ample evidence. In solidity of thought, strength of statement and general literary merit, these Congress papers have never been excelled in any Universal ist assembly, while in number they are largely in excess of any previous presentation. With three or four exceptions the pro gram was carried out as originally arranged. The sessions of the Congress were held in Hall XXXIII of the Art Institute, beginning on Tuesday morning, September 12, and closing with the exercises of Friday, in the Hall Of Washington, set apart as Presentation Day. On that occasion and before a larger audience, the presentation Of the Universalist Church was made by eminent clergymen. Early in the proceedings of the Congress in the Hall of Washington, President Bonney and a delegation of distinguished visitors of the Parliament, including some of the foreign representatives, appeared and were escorted to the plat form. Mr. Bonney presented them to the audience, introducing each one. Among the visitors were Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant.
