#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0856
pleases me so much as the Parliament of Religions. It is as though the Babel
tongues of the world were coming back to speak the one dialect of heaven.
The conception is worthy the age in which we live, and of the country which
we call ours, and of the continent Columbus discovered; nay, better, of Him
who would draw all men to Himself."
President William C. Roberts, D.D., LL. D., of Lake Forest Uni-
versity, writes: "I accept the appointment, and promise to do all in my power
to advance the interest in view. I am very sure that such Congresses will
pour a flood of light on departments of knowledge little known to the masses.
Rich materials may be thus gathered for those now engaged in preparing a
satisfactory Philosophy of Religion. There will be novelty about the meet-
ings that will attract, in my judgment, great multitudes of people."
President Washburn, of Robert College, Constantinople, writes of his
great desire to attend the Parliament. He says: "It is certainly a great
opportunity. I can arrange here for representatives from the Bulgarian and
Armenian Churches."
Hon. William J. Onahan, Secretary of the Columbian Catholic Con-
gress, writes: "I have everywhere spoken of the Congresses, general and
special, as one of the happiest features of the coming event, and the one
likely to bear the most enduring fruits."
The Rt. Rev. D. B. Knickerbacker, Bishop of Indiana, writes: "The
plan of holding a Parliament of Religions and Congresses of the various reli-
gious organizations is indeed a grand conception, and must eventuate in great
good. It will draw out the best thought and experience of the world, and
show the wonderful development of the nineteenth century."
Prof. Lazarus, of the Chair of Philosophy in the Berlin University,
expresses the hope of rendering valuable service in promotion of our plans.
The Rev. T. W. Chambers, D.D., of New York, writes: "I accept the
position with which you have honored me, and will gladly do what in me lies
to give effect to a conception so large and important as that which aims at a
Parliament of Religions in connection with the Columbian Exposition. I trust
that the result will be one of great and lasting benefit to our country and to
the world."
Major-General O. O. Howard believe that the Religious Congresses
will be of great service, and that relief from the perils of the World's Fair
"will be found in grand efforts like those which you propose, efforts strongly
put forth for the enlightenment of the people. Surely upon such we can
invoke the blessing of our Heavenly Father."
Rev. F. F. Ellinwood, D.D., of New York, Secretary of the Board of
Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, writes of his great pleasure in
joining the honorable company of the Advisory Council, and says: "Whatever
I can do to promote this great object I shall be very glad to assume."
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Philadelphia, cordially responds to the invi-
tation to become a member of the Advisory Council, and sends " a hearty God
bless the movement!"
