DEDICATION OF TIE NEW
METHODIST CHURCH.

The new Methodist Episcopal church
in this city was formally dedicated
last Sunday morning. The dedication
sermon was preached by Rev. Dr..
Ninde, President of Garrett Biblical
Institute at Evanston, Ill. The
services were participated in by other
Methodist clergymen. also the Congre-
gational and Baptist pastors of this
city. An unpleasant snow storm be-
gan in the morning and prevailed
most of the day, but the church was
filed to the full extent oe its capacity
in the morning. The sermon was able
and practical. and secured the close
attention of the large audience. The
house is model of neatness; its inter
nal arrangements are admirably adj
iusted. The slips are of an improved
pattern, and so constructed as to con-
duce to the comfort of the audience
The cost of the church edifice, includ.
ing the furnishments, IS $1,000, which
shows an economical and iudicious ex-
penditure of money. But it was not
our intention to furnish a description
of the church, but more particularly to
suggest to all, who are not otherwise
obligated, to visit this new church, by
which two objects will be accom-.
plished hear a good sermon and see
handsome audience room.
An Indebtedness of $3.50 on the
church on the day of dedication, was
provided for; church free of debt.

Since the proposal of Mr.. Blaine for
the distribution of the tax derived
from the sale of whiskey among the
several states, variety of views have
been expressed by the press Oh the
merits of the plan. The most original
and novel suggestion noticed, has ap
peared in the Racine Joura1I. A few
paragraphs are given in the editors
own words, without note OK comment:
"What the people want, what they
are suffering for, what they must and
will have, is not burdensOme tax on
whiskey, but rather an ample supply
of the best brands of the universal in
vigorant furnished at merely nominal
price.
"A statesman of Mr.. Blaine's expert
ence should have known this; know
ing it, he should have formed a plan
not for an annual distribution of reve-
nue., but for perennial distribution of
the article which he has proposed to
make dear by taxation"
"Blaine has failed to discern the
pressing need of the tina Let him
now retrace his steps and put forth
simple and feasible plan for the direct
and popular distribution of the surplus
whiskey. This done the surplus taxes
may be safely RENTED. The benefits
will be direct and immediate. Every
class will feel the stimulus. Both con-
sumner and manufacturer will feel the
vivifying influence, and trade relieved
from an onerous tax will receive new
impetus"

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas will soon be here, when
every one will greet his neighbor with
the accustomed, Merry Christmas"
This is a day observed in all christian
lands, although there is no uniformity
in the manner of keeping it, In some
portions of this country it long has
been and is still religiously observed.
More generally it is made festive &C.
casion, time for interchanging con-
CALCULATIONS, and for renewing and
widening the sphere of friendly &C
quaintances. Excuses such as often
accompany the 4th of July ought to
have no countenance on Christmas.
These two anniversary days common
crate events entirely different; sacred
memories attach to the one, and no
special religious interests to the other.
In some cities Christmas is perverted
to the basest of uses, perhaps no where
more so than in Washington, the Ma
tional Capital; the pandemonium on
that day drives many people from the
city to find rest from the noise Of tin
horns, COW bells, guns and irecrackers.
Baltimore commentaries the nativity
of the Saviour in the same way. These
practices, more peculiar to portions of
the south, have not yet reached the
west.
Chri stmas is a good time to remem-
bel the poor with substantial gifts. Let
those who have an abundance of good
things, and expect to enjoy luxurious
dinners, not forget such as are in
hu mbler life and do their part to make
every family happy on Christmas day.

KINDERG ARTEN.

The Kindergarten in this city was
established about four years ago by
Mrs. Dunning; it has had Interrupt
tons at times, so that it has not been
continuous from the start. Less is
really known of this institution by our
citizens generally than should be. If
il was better understood, it would not
fail of being more literally patronized.
No plan has yet been devised better
suited to the care and instruction of
children who are too young to be sent
to the public schools or too young TO
be taught to read. The kindergarten
children have employments, which
develope and expand the mind, so con.
nected with amusement that they
seemingly never tire of them. In the
public schools children are often i'm
patient for the time of dismissal, but
in the kindergarten children generally
prefer to remain. 1t would require
column or more for a detailed de-
scription; an hours visit would give a
more intelligent idea of the institu-
ton.
The Kindergarten is increasing in
public favor; in several cities it has
been taken in charge and provided
for by the boards of education. In st.
Louis sixty-four schools of this kind
have been established in connection
with the public schools of that city.
The Kenosha Kindergarten closes
this week and will be re-opened after
the holidays.

Governor Rusk, of this state, moves
to amend Mr.. Blaine's plan for distri-
buting the revenues from the tax on
whiskey among the several states. He
suggests that instead of the money be-
ing expended in the payment of the
state and county taxes, il shall be APP
propriated to the pensioning of veteran
soldiers That proposition will strike
union soldiers very pleasantly. What
particular class are lncllded in the
word "veteran " is not so easy to de.
termine. Probably all who enlisted in
the union army, went to the front and
returned safe and sound, would claim
to have earned the reputation of veter-
All soldiers. The Governor evinces his
proverbial generous nature in this pro-
posal; he would have everybody happy,
were il in his power to do 80.

1t is just ten years ago to-day since
the Reformed Episcopal Church was
organized. With marked propriety the
day will be celebrated in Chicago by the
resumption of service in the main au-
ditorium of Christ Church. 1t was in
that rector, now Bishop Cheney, gave
what proved to be schismatic offence
to Bishop Whltehouse by very slight
verbal omission in the service. A seed
so small as to be undesirable by the
secular eye has grown into a prosper
Gus denomination, and all the while the
individual church to which Bishop
Cheney ministers has not suffered. Not
withstanding the enormous outside
strain upon him, he has kept Christ
Church in healthy condition. Its
present enlargement attests its healthy
growth.
The question has often been asked
whether the Reformed Episcopal
Church would be permanent member
OF the family of Christian denomina-
tons or would gradually die out. It
would seem as if it had corne to stay.
intermediate between original Eplsco-
pacy and the two branches of Calvin
ism. Congregationalism and Presby-
terIanlsm, it seems to meet a religious
want, to occupy niche in the vast
temple Of worship. 1t is difficult, how
ever. to forecast the future of these
things. Fifty years ago 1t seemed as
if Unitarianism would sweep to the
foremost place in Massachusetts, if it
did not gain prominent place in the
religious life of the entire country.
But it is not holding It's own, relative
ly, in Massachusetts,, and makes hard
work at living at all outside of that
State. The Episcopal Church seems
to suit the taste of men who were nur-
tured in Unitarianism. But whether
the Reformed Episcopal Church should
go up or down in the lapse of years, it
can present good deceRnial
record. - ilaCGatkee Sentinel, Dec. s.
