repaired, beautifully papered and painted
was publicly dedicated TO the
worship of God, last Sunday morning. AL
though the weather was Indictment, goodly
number were present, and at night the con !
gregation was quite large. The dedicatory |
services were conducted as follows: Invo-
cation OF the Divine blessing by Rev. j. I.
Goodrich, the pastor of the church. Read
ing of the Scriptures by the Rev. James
Shrigley, of Philadelphia, who likewise de-
liyered the Introductory Address, in which
he spoke OF the origin Of the ceremony oil
conservation, the necessity Of such house
of worship in this CITY, that those who be-
lieved in the brotherhood of man and Father
hood of God, might have house to which |
they could repair on the Sabbath day and
worship in purity the God of love. He stated |
that he wished it distinctly understood that |
the Universalsts were people who believed
in salvation from sin, not IN SIN, and that his
only hope OF universal happiness was found
on the Divine promise of universal holiness
That holiness and happiness were inseper-
ably connected and that all believers ought
to maintain order, and practice good works,
for these things were good and profitable
unto men. He dedicated the house to the
worship of the One God, whose name and
nature is Love, and the proclamation OF the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the
Scriptures, which teaches that the sorrows
OF man will NIL cease, that every one Will
find an oblivion and that God will at last
bring all men to a state of felicity, sublime
in its nature and endless in duration. Rev.
j. T. Goodrich followed Mr.. Shrigley, in an
address in exposition and defence OF the
doctrine of final restoration, and exhorted
all christians TO follow the advice Of the
great teacher, to Judge of themselves what
is right. He likewise exhortcd his hearers
TO great fidelity in every department of life,
and to practical eXemplification of the great
doctrines they proessed Rev. MIR. Eddy,
OF Philadelphia, offered the prayer OF dedi-
cation, teryently imploring Gods great bless
ing on the new enterprise, and on all other
efforts to spread the gospel among men. The
choir sang several beautiful anthems, and
everything passed off in manner satisfac-
tory to all present.
Religious services will be held hereafter
in the church every Sunday morning and
night The Sunday School will be opened
in about two weeks.
