 The installation services held in the Congregational church on Wednesday,, when Rev Robert k. Carter was formally
 installed by the consolation as pastor of the Was hington Congregational church, were of more than usual inter- est. The church is most fortunate Tn securing Rev Mir Carter for it's pastor 1;
 he is young man full of energy, and at
 his former pastorate at Lebanon, Pa.,
 his work was blessed with most gratify- ing results. MT Carter is son Of Rev Samuel T. Carter of Huntington, l.. l., and is a grandson of the late shooefe Carter, the publisher. The church IS also fortunate in having Mrs Carter as it's minister's wife. She is daughter of Edward Sterling,a prominent Bridge
 port gentleman, who has been deacon in the South Congregational church of that city, for many years. She is most estimable lady. The exercises Of the day began at l0.30 o'clock in the morn- ing. The old Washington church, which was tastefully decorated with flowers and ferns, ,and was well filled with delegates and friends.

 ters statement of belief, which was as follows
 lieye to be God, the greatest and best Tn God 1 believe to be character. So believe In the Being of God, that Being a personal belnS, that personality cen1ered in that which we men and women know Is the deepest ana
 best in personality, character, when m It's l. dealings with self means righteousness, In it's dealings with others smeanS anecuon. Tn this matter of the being ofGod, believe the highest poetry is the true philosophy "God Is love"
 This is my supreme faith God is and God is good This faith is mine through Jesus CnIist. | early learned in s Christian home to have this faith | later learned that both the Chr,s- tian home and this faith depended on me blessed Master who came that men might know God. believe in Jesus as the reyela- ton of God to humanity by and ln the condl- tions of human life, the only way that those l in such conditions could clearly understand
 This too recognize, that could not know this divine in Jesus Christ to be dlvine, could not know God to be God, save IS some instinct of the divine dwelt in my soul; II one
 knows not color or harmony save as some in
 much less shall one know Gous rlesn anu blood hath not revealed this unto us, but the Father which is in Heaven. l believe 1n the Holy Ghost,the living God at the doors Of the individual soul. I believe that voice of God, through the Spirit speaks to men, not solely, but supremely in the written word our Bible.
 As in God so in man, the greatest thing is character. Man Is In unlS meant to Dehr tne image of God.

The growth
 of all creation, the end of all evolution is In
 this eternal and spiritual lffe- The Wnoie
