REV. JAMES DIOKERSON LAUER.

Rev. ]. ID. Lauer, son of William and
Elizabeth Lauer, was born in Philadel
phia, Pa, March 10, 1922. He was the
second of nine SONS, there being also two
sisters. In his boyhood he worked as a
farm laborer; he afterward learned to
be a shoemaker. He united with the
Christian (NewlighD church at Corners
vile, Pa, in 1897, and began preaching
about 1843. He served his home church
as pastor about seven years. He was
united in marriage with Miss Catherine
Black, May %, 1848. Five children were
born to them,-two SONS and three
daughters,-of these only two daughters
are living. He worked at his trade dur
ing the week and preached every Sunday,
"for the satisfaction of conscience" to
use his own language, and his reward
was in the work itself.
His wife died In 1859. On Christmas
evening, 1860, he was married to Mrs.
Elizabeth Case. Three girls and four
boys we're the fruit OF this union, and
one boy and the three girls are living.
just when Br. Lauer moved West we
are not informed. Our first knowledge
of him was as pastor of the Christian
church in Eaton, Ohio, where he was
quite popular with the community at
large. While he was at that time an
intense believer in endless misery, he
was possessed of a benevolent DISPOSE
ton, and having become acquainted with
a number of our Universalist friends,
who frequently attended his services, he
thought something should be done "to
save them from the fate of the unbeliever.'
Accordingly discussion was arranged
between DR.. N. Summerbell, of the
Christian church, and Rev. s. p. Carlton,
of the UniversRlist church. The result
OF the discussion was far different to that
anticipated; "for," to use his own words,
"instead OF saving the Universslists, 1
found / needed to be saved myself" He
did not Immediately withdraw from the
Chris stan church, for the severance of the
bonds in which he SO long had lived was
painful to contemplate. At last, he be-
came convinced that duty to himself and
the truth, required that he should make

CHICAGO.-St. Paul's.-Last Sunday
there was a unique and interesting SER
vice in the new chapel previous to the
session of the school. The resolutions of
the society, adopted some months ago, in
acknowledgment of the magnificent gift
of Charles L. Hutchinson and Harlow N.
Higginbotham in building the new chapel,
complete in all its departments, at an
expense of $4,000, and presenting it to
the parish, was the occasion. The reso-
lutions were handsomely engrossed and
elegantly bound in scarlet morocco, in
book form, and presented with an appro-
pirate address by Mr.. J. q. Swan. Both
of the gentlemen made appropriate re-
sponses, marked with the modesty which
characterizes all their utterances when
referring to their own gifts. The occa-
sion was fitting close of the great enter
prise OF the parish which has eliminated
in the new church and chapel.
Mr.. Edwin d. Mead, of Boston, gave
his lecture on Gladstone on Thursday
evening of last week, in the chapel of st.
PauPs. 1t was very able and instruct
i've review of the career of England's
great statesman and humanitarian. Ow-
ing to the limited notice. the audience
was quite small, but those who were pres
emit enjoyed an intellectual treat of rare
excellence. We could wish that Mr..
Mead might be heard with this lecture
under more favorable circumstances than
those of last Thursday night.
Church of the Redeemer.-Rev. Chas.
Oonklin has been granted vacation OF
eight weeks, and has already gone to his
country residence at Fox Lake. He is
worn down by his abundant labors of the
past Sc ason and needs recuperation. 1t
is hoped that his health will permit him
to preach once day during July and
August. Rev. A. N. Alcott, OF Elgin,
preached at the Church of the Redeemer
last Sunday, and the services next Sun
day will be conducted by the Rev. M. 81.

Akron, o., May 2, 1sSS.-The new
Grouse Gymnasium, OF Buchtel College,
was thrown open to the public ON last
Friday evening, though it has not yet
been formally dedicated. The gymnasium
is said to be the finest in the State and
probably has no equal in the West 1t
will, we presume, be dedicated previous
to the coming commencement. 1t was
in this new building that the third and
last entertainment of the Buchtel College
musical course was given on the above
named evening. This grand concert was
said to be the most enjoyable of the Sc
ries given during the season just closed.
The entire course has been every way
satisfactory, and to Prof. Claus Wolfram
of the college, is due the credit of the
enterprise. 1t is unde rstood that a SINH
lar course will be given next season.
