His first glance fell upon the white

on stump, WAS weeping heartily,

sympathizing women to allay her
fears. He looked up and his eyes met
those of the young woman in blue

MoSG interesting series OF LectureS-YeS-
terday Congregational Churches, Min
listers and Methods of the Forties' De-
scribed-Anniversary Week-Noticeable
Changes.
At st. Stephens church yesterday after
noon, the rector Dr.. Dalton, began his
course of lectu1 es on ''The Changes in the
Churches and Ministry Of New England
During the Present Century with Special
Reference to Boston and Vicinity"
This is course of six lectures embracing
the six leaGing denominations OF Boston
and New England, in about the order of
their appearance; namely the Orthodox
and Unitarian Congregationalists will be
the subjects of the first two lectures; the
Baptist third; the Episcopalians fourth;
the Uniyersalists fifth and the Methodists
sixth.
These lectures will consist largely of per-
eonal "reminiscences from about 1910 the
year of the great Harrison campaign. For
over fifty years DR.. Dalton has kept in
closets touchswith the religious development
in New England. and there is no clergyman
in the city. or layman either. who for SO
long time has ken the same observant
interest. In his youth, back between the
forties and the war he had opportunity to
become thoroughly acquainted with the
churches and the Clergyman and the re-
ligious life and growth in Boston, and of
course during the years since then he has
watched the religious life OF Boston with
more than the usual interest. His first
lecture. yesterday, was devoted to the
orthodox Congregationalists. He began by
saying that from the very first there has
been two tendencies in the religious life of
Now England; one strict, and one more
liberal. The first were called Calyinists,
and the others Unitarians. The first thing
to be noted is that nearly all the churches
and colleges in Boston and vicinity, includ-
ing Harvard college. became Unitarian.
Also two-thirds of all the churches and
ministers in Massachusetts generally. The
division was on the five points of Caivinism.
In Boston the Old South alone remained
faithful TO the old Orthodox party to which
it has always adhered. Afterwards, Park
street society was formed and the church
built. remaining a marked feature of the
Boston landsca 30 ever since. These two
were followed by Essex street, Salem street.
