Uhle, August Gkorg, a Protestant theologian of (Jermany, was born Jan. 16, 1737, at Brunswick, lie studied theology and philosophy at Helmstedt. For a time he instructed at the ( )r|)haiiage in Brunswick, when, in 1770, he was called as pastor to the Church of St. ^Egidius at Hanover. In 1793 the learned society at the Hague awarded to him the second prize for his disserta- tion Be Jesu Ckrislo Vera Dei Filio; and in the same year lie was made member of consistory and tirst court- preacher. In 1794 lie was appointed general superin- tendent, and in 1801 he was honored with the doctorate by the Gottingen University. He died May 12, 1804. Uhle was not only very well acquainted with the ancient classical writers, but also with the writings of Hume, Hobertson, (iibbon, Tillotson, Saurin, etc. In philosophy he leaned more towards the system of Leibnitz and \W)\i than that of Kant ; ho was less satislied with Fichte and Schelling. Among the ( ierman pulpit orators of the last century Uhle holds a prominent place. For his writings, see During, Deutsche Kanzelredner, p. 551. (B. P.)

Uhlich, LEfsEKEOiiT, a German sectary, the head of the so-called Lif/hlfrietuh (Lichtfreinide), was born Feb. 27, 1799, at Kiithen. He studied theology at Halle from 1817 to 1820 under Wegscheider, was tutor at K6- then, and in 1827 he went to Prussia as pastor in Pijm- melte, near Schtinebeck. In 1841 he organized the lib- eral preachers' meetings at (inadau, which tinally led to the formation of the Society of the Protestant Friends, or Lichtfreunde, Uhlich became the spiritual head of tliis movement, and soon obtained adherents in different countries, especially in the north of Germany. He went from place to place for the purpose of pre- siding at the meetings held by his adherents, until, in 184.5, he was forbidden to leave his parish without per- mission. In the same year he was called to St. Catha- rine's Church in Magdeburg, where he went on in his usual way. But his low views of Christianity brought him into conflict with his consistory, until he was tinally suspeniled from his (illice in September, 1847. He now left the Cluirch and put himself at the head of a free re- ligious congregation at IMagdeburg, where he labored until ]March 23, 1872. Uhlich was a preacher of con- siderable popular eloquence and managing talent, sin- cere withal, and of an unblemished character; but his very low views of Christianity tinally led him to a phi- lanthropico-pantheistic naturalism, which he presented in a popular maimer before his audience. Speaking of the Dissenting sects in ( Jermany, Ur. Schaff, with regard to the Lichtfreunde, says, "It is deeply humiliating that a superficial rationalism which was supposed to be <lead and buried could create such a commotion in a state like Prussia, and on the classical soil of the Lu- theran Reformation. But the emptiest wagons often make the greatest noise" ( Gerimmy, its Universities, etc., p. 144). Of course it was only a noise, and hence as "for the development of the history of doctrines, the Protestant Friends," as llagenbach says, " have only
a negative importance, and their place is rather in the transient story of the day than in the earnest history of religious truth" {Jiist. of J>oclrines, ii,410). Uhlich wrote a great deal, and his publications consist mainly of sermons and discourses, for which see Zuchold, Bibl. Theol. ii, 1361 sq. See also his Autobiography (Magde- burg, 1872); Theologisches Univeisal-Lcx. s.v. ; Niedner. Kirchengeschichte, p. 912 sq. (B. P.)
Ujeu, in Hindu mythology, was a celebrated king in the dynasty of the Children of the Moon. He was married to JMarwa, who presented him with two daugh- ters, Mirkinda and Lashmene, two of the seven prin- cesses that became Krishna's first wives.
TTkko (the ancient or honorable) was the chief god of the Finns, " the celestial old man," " the god of heav- en." He was the first of the trinity composed of him- self, WiiinilmoiiK'H, and Ilmarinen. He ajipeared some- times even as a first principle, whence his surname of Ylijumala, " the supreme god." In case of wounds, the secondary deities were resorted to for a cure; but, in or- der to complete and consolidate the work of the lesser divinities, the intervention of Ukko was needed. The cure of a wctund needing the formation of new tiesh was considered a regular act of creation, and therefore the help of the creative power himself was necessary. — Lenormant, Chald.
