city Wednesday and Thursday was one oil
the most successful ever held here. The
attendance was large, the members en-
thusiastic. and some OF the ablest temper

and was much applauded for his remarks
upon taking the chair. The resolutions
adopted will be found in our report OF the
proceedings. They keep the standard

Dedication OF the New Chapel ON Cushnoc
Heights.
The tasty little chapel on Northern avenue,
Cushnoc heights, in this city, was dedicated last
evening to the worship of God. The building was
erected by the First Christian Union church, Or
gained nearly two years since, with some help
secured outside Of their own society. Ground
broken last spring, and the framing and
boarding of the edfce done by Mr.. Martin Peas
lee, employed by the society. Mr.. Frank N
Smith has recently been employed in finishing
the building The house is 80 by so feet, and cost
$1,000. The society is still in debt to the amount
Of $500, which they will use every endeavor to
wipe out. The chapel is plain but very neat
structure, entered from the front by two doors.
The interior has clean white ceiling and
walls, without any fresco work, and is
lighted by three large windows on each
side. There Is CHEEKY and inviting as
pect about the room. 1t is now supplied
with settees and warmed by stove; the next
season it is intended to put in pews and raise the
building, so that furnace may be placed in the
basement A neat black walnut pulpit stands at
one end of the church, and opposite is the gallery
for the singers. The house will hold about four
hundred persons, and last night it was crowded to

The services began with q voluntary by the
choir, which BY the way is composed of some six

seems appropriate to religious exercises.
Rev. Mr.. Tilton of Albion, read the last two
verses of the 2Sth chapter of Matthew, go We
therefore and teach all nations" &C., and re-
marked that it was necessary to have house in
which to meet for The worship of God. He then

relating to the temple built by Solomon, and
that includes his dedicatory prayer.
Rev. Mr.. Wiggin Of New Hampshire, read the
hymn, which was sung by the choir
"Christ is our corner stone"
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Penney, al er
which the hymn was sung, beginning:
30 thou whose own vast temple stands"
The dedicatory sermon was then preached by
Rev. o. j. Hancock of Skowhegsn. who has taken
q deep interest in the affairs OF the society. He
came gladly to this service, and congratulated the
people upon the completion of the enterprise.
They had had a hard struggle and had at last sue
ceeded. The text was in the 2Sth chapter Of
Genesis. at the 18th verse, "This is none other
than the house of God, and this is the gate of

OF the structure, if it is only filled by the pres.
