CONGRESS SQUARE CHURCH.
Rev. DR.. Atwood Meets the Universaiists
Clergymen.

: Rev, I. NJ. Atwood. president of the
Canton Universalist Divinity School of
New York, preached an interesting SER
mon at Congress Square church, yester-
day morning from the text: "Oh, taste
and see how good the Lord Is, from
Psalms, xxxiy., sth, revised version. In
in Producing him DR.. BLANCHARD said that
the clergy of the Uniyersalist denomina-
ton cordially endorsed the action OF tne
trustees of the general convention In ap-
pointing DIR. Atwood to be general super
intendent. For himself he was not airaio
of the word bishop" but ne was very
glad to introduce DR.. Atwood TO his peo-
pie as general superintendent.
The point of DIR. Atwood's sermon was
that as God provides food for the physi-
cal man SO He also provides food for
the spiritual man. He only is wise who
lives on both.
The music of tho day was especially
fine under the leadership of Mr.. f. L..
Rankin, organist.
In the evening recognition service
was held which brought together mag
nificent audience, mads up of representa-
tiyes from the Uniyersalist churches in
the city, Woodfords and Westbrook. 1t was
union meeting, and surrounding the
new Bishop were Rev DR.. Blanchard,
Rev. Mr.. Kimmell, Rev. Mr.. Townsend
and Rev. Mr.. Paine.
Rev. DR.. Blanchard introduced Dr.A
wood, and in doing so referred to the
evolution in the church polity which led
to the appointment Of bishop. He was
not afraid of the name, for bishop
general superintendent was needed to
superintend the teachers. so in church
affairs an overseer was wanted to look af-
ter the different shepherds of the fiocks
DIR. Atwood delivered most inspiring
address which was listened to with rapt
attention. and referring to his recent APP
pointment as general superintendent of
the church, said that he intended to null
tiply himself by local superintendent
as it would be impracticable for him to
visit the four different churches of his
denomination which had sprung up sine
| the year 1900, when only one was in ex-
istence. He thought Congress Square
church was well fed and well bred
church and was not in need of regular
visitation from him. He paid hand
some tribute to the pastor. the Rev. DIR.
Blanchard, and wished that his life
might be prolonged Thousand years in
which to continue his able work.
DR. Atwood intimated that he had NO
desire to arrogate to himself the func-
tions of boss. and touching national
affairs. suggested that we had territory
enough as much as we want, but that
we do stand greatly in need of fmoral
culture and those nobler qualities which
find their best application in the life OF
Christ. d
Short addresses were then made by Rev.
MIR. Kimmell of the Church of the Mes
siah, Rev. Manley e. Townsend OF Wood
fords and Rev. Thomas B. Paine of West
brook, who all expressed loyalty to the
new bishop and pledged him their loyalty
and cooperation.

result has been rather astonishing IN
