REV. MR.. DICKINSON.
His Acceptance of the Lowell Call

At the morning service of the Kirk street
church, Lowell, Sunday, the following letter
was read by Rev. Mr.. Colt of Lawrence, who
officiated in the Kirk street pulpit:
10 the Kirk street Church and Society IN Lou
ell, Mass.
My Dear Friends-A few weeks ago i had
the honor OF receiving from the hands of the
chairman of your joint committee very hearty
call to become your pastor.
After careful and prayerful elaboration
have decided to accept it; and having been
regularly dismissed from my pastorate in this
city, am now ready to unite with you in
making arrangements for my installation over
your church and society at such time as shall
be agreed upon hereafter.
L have not come to this decision without
Just appreciation Of the great responsibilities
TO which you have called me, and deep sense
OF my own unworthiness to occupy place
which has been so ably filled by those who
have graced the Kirk street church in past
years. | can make no promises for the future,
save to tell you very sincerely, that, relying
upon the grace that IS sufficient, it will be my
purpose to pre- ach only Jesus Christ and Him
cruclhed, and to minister with impartial love
to all who shall call themselves my people.
The expressions of confidence which you
have already made to me lead me to believe
that shall find among you many responsive
hearers of the Gospel, and many earnest CO.
workers, and that together we shall be enabled
to do work which will result in the salvation
OF souls and the enlargement and strengthen
ing of the church of God in the community.
Praying that the great Head of the church
may seal with His blessing this contemplated
reunion, and that our relations may be fruitful
of much joy and peace in the Lord Jesus
Christ, am, in the bonds of Christian fellow
ship,
Very sincerely yours,
CHAs. A. DICKINSON.
Portland, Nov. 80, 1882.

Sunday. 1t is expected that he will commence

Objection was made to the placing of two

1t was suggested that the signal for no school

omitted from November to April Many were
in favor of emitting altogether.
