of the Generalization Of the Parish Meet
ing, held Tuesday Evening, June %.


Tuesday evening of last week, June
%, a meeting of the members and
friends of st. Paul's church, on Mich
igan avenue, was held to receive and
take action on the proposition of Edison
Keith, o. R. Keith, George A. Seav-
ems, J. H. Swan, H. N. Higginbotham,
John Dupee, Jr., A. A. Libby and
Charles L. Hutchinson, in reference
to changing the location of the
church. These gentlemen propose
to purchase the church edifice and
lot ON which it stands, paying $685.
900 in cash for, and giving a deed
of, lot 75x177 p feet, on Prairie ave-
nue., nearly opposite Thirtieth street.
There is on this lot brick church
building, which they will take down and
replace with an edifice with a seating
capacity for 700 persons, to cost not less
than $50, 900.
The meeting was held in the Sunday
SCuOOl lOOm VI d. dul D. 4 uCAO wac a
very large attendance, and, as might be
expected, deep interest was evinced
in the proceedings. The following cir
cular, addressed to the members of the
parish by the trustees, was widely cir
culated previous to the meeting, and
served to make all informed of the
proposition which the parish was to
consider.
Circular Of the Trustees
In issuing the call for a parish meeting to
consider the proposition made TO the First
Universalist Society of Chicago, relative TO a
change of location, and the erection of a new
house of worship, the Trustees deem IL desir-
able TO state briefly the reasons why it has
been thought wise to entertain this PROPOSE
ton, and recommend it to the attention of the
parish.
The proposition made to the society is as
follows;
A syndica'e of eight gentlemen connected
with this parish agrees to build upon som

the radiant morning of another light"
Rev. J. 81. Amies, of the Universalist
church, Reading, Pa, received sixty-nine
persons into membership on Sunday, June
13-sixty-four by the right hand of fell
lowship and five by name. This is the
largest number taken into any Univers-
alist church at one time in the United
States during the past year. Before adj
ministering baptism and the right hand OF
fellowship, the pastor made the following
remarks: "This confirmation does not
make God any more your Father than
before. By nature he is yours and you
his. This is but the witness of your
adoption into the family of the church.
The new birth in which we believe is not
a mysterious change or supernatural
process, but a natural work of the Holy
Ghost. The church into which you are
adopted is the church Of the living God.
1t is also the church of the Universal
Heart. The wishes of love and the pray
ers of all hearts go with us. No other
people, whatever be the name by which
they are called, ever wish or pray for that
which we deny. In opinions they may
differ from us, but in love they not only
desire, but unite in working for, that des-
tiny which we proclaim that unto Him
every knee shall bow and every tongue
confess in the Lord have found right
eousness.' With the hearts and the pray
ers of the world on our side we can not
fail to triumph"

to order and presided during the even
ing. In few words he stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and referred the
members to the above circular letter.
The proposition of the syndicate in
legal form was then read, and the mat
ter was open for discussion. A letter
from Mrs. G. B. Marsh, opposing the
movement, was read; also letter from
Mr.. George Morton, counseling unity of
action. Mr.. N. b. Judah advocated the
acceptance of the offer of the syndicate.
He was decidedly in favor of a new 10
cation, and expressed the opinion that
the parish should be grateful to the
gentlemen of the syndicate for their
proposal. DR.. w. H. Ryder did not IA
vor accepting the proposition at the
present time. He did not believe there
was such an urgent necessity for giving
up the building at present occupied by
the society and moving into another
neighborhood, as was set forth in the
circular. He also dissented from the
statements in regard to the encroach-
ments of business ON the present loca-
ton, and did not believe success impos-
sible in st. Paul's Church ON Michigan
avenue. They ought, he said, to take
time for careful, considerable reflection
upon matter so vital to every men,
Der of the society. DR.. Ryder stated
explicitly that he would abide by the
will of the majority Of the parish, and
where st. Paul's Church went he would
also go. In view of the importance of
the proposal and the need of united ac-
ton, he moved that the proposition be
deferred until the annual meeting of
the parish, in January.
Mr.. G. L. Hutchinson advocated de-
cisive action at the present meeting.
The syndicate might not be willing To
