DEDICATION AT sMITHT0N, PA,

The new Universalist church at this
place was dedicated to the service of the
one true and living God on Sunday, Jan.
20. with appropriate and impressive GER
emoniee. Rev. Messrs. Getty and Hough,
together with friends from Pittsburg and
neighboring towns and country, arrived
on Saturday, and well attended meet
ing was held in the evening.
On Sabbath morning at 10 o'clock the
fine bell presented to the church by Geo.
O. Thomas, Esq, of Philadelphia, pealed
the notice that the hour had arrived for
the dedicatory service. and in short time
the building was we'll filed, despite the
cold weather. After the usual opening
exercises, the building committee report
ed that but $240 remained unpaid on the
property. A mild appeal was then made
to the congregation, and in a few min
utes the church was out of debt. The
Building Committee then formally pre-
sented the keys of the building and deed
to the property, which were received by
Rev. Andrew Getty on behalf of the
Trustees of the State Convention in whose
favor the deed was drawn. The sermon
was preached by Br. Getty, in his usual
impressive manner, and the dedicatory
prayer offered by Br. Hough.
In the evening the House was again
we'll filed. Br. Hough preached, after
which eight persons we're added to the
church. A meeting was also held on Mon
day evening when Br. Getty urged the
membership to renewed effort and zeal in
their new church home. One additional
member was also added, making nine adj
ditions in all during the meetings.
The building is a neat frame structure
sbout 35x50, favorably located, and bids
fair to be the happy home of thrifty
and jealous membership.

THE LATE REV. JOHN LYON.

To the Editor of The Uniuersalist::
Will you kindly publish the following,
extracted from the minutes of the regular
monthly meeting of the Trustees of st.
Paups Universalist church, Glasgow,
Scotland said meeting held January 10,
1888?
Having been informed by our pastor
that the Rev. John Lyon, of Bridgeport,
Conn, q. s. A., has passed onward to
higher sphere of usefulness, the Trustees
desire to enter the following resolutions
upon their minutes:
RESOLVED, That in the death of this widely
known and highly esteemed minister of Uni
versalism we feel that our church over the
sea has suffered sorrow too deep to be ex-
pressed in words,-for when one passes away
whose whole life has been solemn conse-
Grafton to the work the gospel of Christ
the mourners can only bow in silent resigna-
ton to the will of the All Father.
ResolUed, That in the death of Rev. John
Lyon, we, the Trustees of st. Paul's Uni
versalist church, Glasgow, realize that we
have lost one of our best and most enthusi-
astic friends. Remembering his visit, in
1882, when we "took sweet counsel together"
and when his words were so inspiring, we
feel that we have right now to group our
selves among the mourning ones who are
asking so sadly, son whom will his mantle
fall?"
Resolved, That in the death of this our
countrymsn, whose birthplace was our own
native city, we feel that not only the States,
but Scotland has reason to feel bereft, and
while sorrowful to the utmost we are glad
yet, and proud that Scotchman should have
lived SO brave, so true and so glorious life
in the land of his adoption.
ReSolred, That we offer to the widow and
the fatherless our tenderest sympathies in
this solemn hour of loneliness; also to the
flock of which he was so long the devoted
shepherd; also to the whole Universalist
church of the U. s. A., commencing them
ALL as we do our own sorely smitten mem
bers, TO that Faith which was the inspir-
alton of our dear brothers life and deeds.
May God make us all as faithful to our work
as was he whom we mourn to that which he
chose before all others, as the highest and
the best.

EASTER CONCERT PIECE.

The Publishing House has spared no
labor or expense to make the Concert
Exercise for Easter this year, one of the
most acceptable and attractive of any
that it has ever issued. To attain this
object it early secured the services of
Miss Kate l.. Brown, whose previous
work in this line has shown a peculiar
genius for it and proved exceedingly
popular. Miss Brown has written an
entirely original piece entitled "Child
Eric's Pilgrimage; or the Story of the
Little Boy who went out to find Jesue,"
which is printed in the Sunday-school
Helper for February. Now ready.
The preparation of the cards was plac-
ed in the competent hands of Miss Eliza
beth q. Emerson whose work is highly
commended by good judges. Single
copies of the Helper 10 cents; IL for 81.
The cards have been printed in
twelve page pamphlet to be sold at the
rate of $3.50 per hundred copies, postage
paid. A sample copy will be sent free;
As Easter comes this year, Sunday, April
1, all orders should be sent in early.

MICHIGAN NOTES.
Respects to the Dead.

Forty-seven times in the course of
twelvemonth have we been called to make
our pilgrimage to the cities of the dead.
We have mingled our emotions with
strangers and friends, sometimes by the
side of the veteran fallen in the fight
and sometimes by the side of youth and
infancy have we stood, while attempting
to press upon the minds of the bere aved
the consultations which come from the
glorious gospel of the blessed God. Four
times have we stood in the presence of
death in the last seven days, and our
heart is heavy with sadness as we write.
Two OF the dead were old and two were
young; two we're strangers and two we're
friends. One of the latter was a joyous
bright-hearted child of fourteen years,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs R. Glover,
of the Bay City parish, member of the
Sunday school and favored visitor in
the home Of the pastor. Many, many
times has the winsome girl brought SUM-
shine into our happy home, making even
6A1A hOuAo bAuAOCiB VIC LnA
that the passing years of our pastorate
would but bring into larger light the no
BILE qualities of this girl who so early
promised a glorious womanhood and a
beautiful Christian life. She loved to
go to church, and her bright face shining
with intelligence and attention from the
family pew, has added zest in manifold
instances to the utterance OF the pastor,
aiding in no slight degree the unfolding
of the mes which could be of but slight
import save to appreciative listeners.
And SO we had come to call "Allie" one
of our helpers, although all unknown to
her. She was among the most attentive
of the congregation during the recent
course of doctrinal sermons and with her
mother talked over the themes from day
to day, finally saying that clearer view Of
the providence of God and deeper insight

IOWA.-M ceilings at Storm Lake.
Rev. james Gorton recently visited this
parish, of which Rev. NJ. FL. Houghton is
the pastor, and assisted in series of
meetinge. He writes:
"The attendance and interest were ex-
cellent and the results will undoubtedly
be good. Before leaving we learned of
number who had handed in their requests
for membership in the church. This is a
most excellent parish, comp osed Of many
of the leading families of the place, solid
men and women, respected and hoDored
in all the walks of life by all who know
them. 1t shows well for the parish that
nearly all of these men and women are
members of the church. They believe in
the church. They believe it is every way
manly and womanly, dignified and noble,
beautiful and helpful to make public
profession of their Christian faith and
purpose, and to take upon themselves all
the obligations that such an act implies.
Br. Houghton is earnest, faithful, de-
voted, is much liked by his people, and,
in connection with them, and with his ex-
cellent wife, who is spoken Of in the high
est terms, and is honored and beloved by
all, he is accomplishing an excellent work.
The parish is thoroughly united and har-
monious-not frozen together by indif
ference but melted together by the
warmth of intelligence. refinement, and
an earnest Christian faith and love. We
were most pleasantly and beautifully en-
tertained ir the homes of this people.
The meetings were not OF the excitabls,
but rather Of the incitable kind. They
were not exclusively emotional. Emo
ton had its due place, but the aim was
to instruct, and to ground the life and
conduct on Christian principle, the
hatred and forsakng OF whatever is false
and evil, and the love and practice Of
Whatever is true, and just and righteous.
The aim was to make the highest and
most unselfish appeal in religion to
teach that sin is hell now, and holiness il
heaven; the one as bad in this world, and
the other as good here and now as they
can ever be in any other time or world.

universalist Chief Justices in Iowa.

N~Ne~A~~~
We learned here that Judge Robinson
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Of
Iowa, is a mem Der, and faithful and de-
voted member, of the Storm Lake church
and his wife as well, and she is said to be
very active III the town in church affairs,
and sort of leader and teacher in litera-
ny and scientific circles, one of the best
educated and most accomplished ladies
in the State, and who constantly keeps
up systematic and thorough courses OF
reading and study. The Judge is ac-
counted quiet, solid man of brains and
character, with peculiarly Judicial cast
of mind.
1t is curious mixture of coincidence
that Judge Adams, of Dubuque, the pre-
vious Chief Justice Of Iowa, very able
and accomplished scholar and iurist, is a
Universalist and connected with the Du-
buque parish; and also the recent nomi-
nee OF the Democratic party, running in
opposition to Judge Robinson, is mem
Der Of our parish at Stuart. Such things
may never happen again, and they may
happen many times.
The people of iowa seemed determined
to have Universalist for Chief Justice.
Undoubtedly that kind OF element may
make excellent Judicial timber, although
we are not so bigoted as to suppose there
may not be plenty of good judicial ma
teIial outside of our church.
