KIRK STREET CHURCH.
Ordination of Rev. Mr.. Dickinson.

brief telegram in the PRESS yesterday
morning announced the ordination of Rev. G..
A. Dickinson over the Kirk Street church,
Lowell, Wednesday evening. The Lowell
papers give the following account:
Att o'clock the installation services were
held in the church, the pulpit being adorned
with profusion of choice flowers and pot
plants. The audience was quite large and the
exercises very interesting. a. fter an opening
organ prelude by Mr.. A. V. Hill, report of
the doings OF the council was given by the
scribe, Rev. Mr.. Wolcut
The invocation was then offered by Rev.
Smith Baker, followed with singing by the
congregation. After the reading of the Scrip
lures by Rev. DIR. Greene, the church choir
sang the anthem, "Send out Thy light" by
Gounod, after which Rev. DIR. Alexander Nc
Kenzie preached the installation sermon.
The sermon was remarkable for its elevated
thought, deep power, logical argument and
eloquent language. His text was l Timothy
Tvs" Godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come" His argument
in brief, after promising the exalted character
of godliness being like God, the speaker pro-
ceeded to show, in the language of the text,
its profit. arguing the personal peace and hap
piness of the godly man, in the fact that he il
godlike in nature and in the fact that he St es
through Christ the possibility of restoration to
God 1t was held that godliness had its begin
ming simultaneously with the recognition of
God through Christ; that godliness in the
profitable aspect presented by the text, need
ed no demonstration. 1t is in the line of ma
ture, exalts character, and dignifies all life;
affording comfort, and an assurance of di-
vine approval. Gods thoughts become mans
Thoughts, inspiring us to pure and holy lives.
Prof. W. j. Tucker delivered the charge to
the pastor, Rev. G. f. Thwing of Cambridge
presented the right hand Of fellowship, and
Rev. Dr. Merriman gave the charge to the
people. After singing by the congregation,
concluding prayer was offered by Rev. S. W.
Hanks, the doxology was sung, and the new

The Htna Life to the Front.

The Etna Life Insurance Company reports
the year 1882 to have been an unusually sue
cessful one. 1t has increased its assets, its
surplus, and its amounts insured. Its receipts
from interest have largely exceeded its death
losses-results rarely accomplished by life
companies. During the year the Etna issued
5000 new policies covering $9,500,000 insur-
ance, gain over the previous year of about
81, ,250, 900 insurance. 1t has paid for claims by
death and for matured endowments $1,767,-
1872 80. The Atna commences the new year
with brilliant prospects. Its investments are
OF most satisfactory character. Its stocks
and bonds rank high in value, and exceed
their cost larger percentage than in any
previous year. Its forces are we'll organized,
and the company will continue increasing its
business and usefulness. The friends, patrons,
and management of the Etna Life may we'll
feel proud of it.-Hdrtford Post.

Gen. j. L. ohamberlain's Lecture at Frye


burg.
The item in Mondays Argus by an official
reporter, it Sc, ms to me should not go uncbal-
legged; aud for several reasons.
Lit is uncharitable.
2.-Its destinations IN respect to the pastor
OF the Congregational Society, and his family,
are without foundation, and he might have in
formed himself in the matter, at the least pos
sible pains. He ought % know that he is con-
tributing an unacceptable service in this at
tempting to stir up bad blood where there is
none.
3-If, as he assumes, there is i'll feeling
(there is as much evidence of it on the part of
the New Chuich, as the old.) he ought to be
peacemaker rather.
4.-The item assumes to whine for slight
inflicted on the lecturer, also for the good pee
pie of the f'New Church." on account OF their
but partial success in attempting to give all the
people good intellectual and patriotic treat.
If the parties felt that there was an intended
slight, the reporters whine is not calculated
to afford relief. They must regard tia volun-
teered service they have no use for.
FindUy-The public should understand that
the local matters IN this community, are in a
bOttOIJ A0dAbiiOA cb0tos tlidu db 6OLuo pre-
vious time, and that, it is exceedingly ill-ad-
vised for news reporters to come in, and pick
up few items of gossip, or of fact, even, dress
them to suit their spl en-, or prejudice or wish,
and put them before the public that has no
means of discriminating. 1t contributes nc
good to any cause; and surely cannot be in the
interest of Christian charity which is thought
something of by respectable body in this com
munity.
The commiserstion of the reporter for the
1Ano Al. n.kl-
tanned is fully appreciated.
The people there, without distinction of sect
probably hold General Chamberlain as man
patriot and lecturer, in as high esteem ss
the reporter. And the pastor of the Conglega
tional Society, after an acquaintance of more
than thirty years, has yet to learnlthat the gen
eral has ever seen aught to diminish his conf
dence in his high personal regard. We sin
cerely trust that the Argus which is read by q
large number of the citizens of Fryeburg will
avoid sending among us everything calculated
to work evil. Respectfully yours,
COSMOPOLITAN
