The Rockland, Mass, Free Press of Dec.
81, 1901, published portraits, with reports of
farewell sermons and receptions, of three
departing clergyman. One of these cler-
gymen whose portrait is given above
by courtesy of the Press, was Rev. Harry
Lutz, who had then accepted the pas
torate of the Unitarian church in tn S
city, and who has since entered upon
his duties. The farewell service at Rock
land was special vesper service at D. M,
with special music, and Mr.. Lutz spoke on
Sour Duty to Conscience" The Free Press
concluded its report by saying: "NIr. Lutz
feels enthusiastic over the field he has
chosen and we feel assured of support when
we say we wish him every success"
We print on the 7th page of this issue
the first sermon of Mr.. Lutz ON assuming
his Belfast pastorate.
Rev. Harry Lutz, the pastor of the Uni
tartan church of Belfast, was born near
Whistler, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1870, the son of
Samuel L. and Ellen n Lutz After at
tending the county schools, he was gradual
ed from the Kingston High school with the
class of 1889. In the two years following
he taught school, studying law during his
vacations.
When he was q years of age, Mr.. Lutz
entered Waynesburg college, Pennsylvania,
expecting to study for the Presbyterian
ministry. While there he was active in re-
llglous work, being president of the college
L. M. Z. A. While in college his religious
views underwent a change, and, following
the dictates of his conscience, he adopted
the views of the liberal church.
After graduating in '94 with the degree of
a. b., he returned home and studied under
Judge Walters. During this period he sup
piled the pulpit of local church during
the illness of the pastor, and was also
superintendent of schools for time.
In March, 1895, Mr.. Lutz was admitted to
the bar, and in April began the practice of
law in Circleville, Ohio. Three years of
this work gave him an envable reputation
among the lawyers of the vicinity He then
abandoned his growing law practice to
enter the theological school at Meadville,
Pa, where he studied for one year. MI.
LutZ then spent a year in study at the 1Iar-
ward Divinity school, where his devotion to
the work was highly commended by the
professors. In March, 1900, Mr.. LutZ was
called to supply the pulpit of the Unitarian
church of Rockland, Mass, where he inn
medlately found favor with the congrega-
ton. Upon the completion of his studies at
Harvard he became pastor of the ROckland
church. the formal installation taking place,
Sunday, Sept. so, 1900.
Mr. LutZ was married June so, 1897, to
Miss Mary f. Smith, a daughter Of we'll
known family of Circlevile, Ohio. They
have one child, Robert, born in March, 1900.

A warning to the Seniors:
H2SO4 On KCLO3.
In chemistry one fatal day
A youth was slowly working,
He was one unaccustomed
To any trait of shirking.
Instructions were as naught to him.
Because he wished to see
The effect of H2SO4
On KCLO3
A vaporizing dish he used,
With the salt and H2O
His acid then diluted he;
But no, it was no go.
Again he tried it, and again,
Once more-but no result,
cit should explode" he thought, "witl
force,
A very cat-a-pult!"
"Here goes again." cried out the lad,
"With concentrated acid";
His face was calm, his features had
A calmness simply placid.
New KCLO3 he takes,
The quantity increases;
He pours on H2SO4-
They picked him up in pieces.

Prin. Howard, in short talk to the school
Tuesday, suggested the formation Of a lit
erary society in connection with the school,
with view to giving pupils a knowledge of
parliamentary law, ability to speak in pub
lie, and to encourage literary etfort-the
meetings to be held in the school-room, at
definite intervals, under the guidance and
supervision of the teachers, but to be man
aged by it's officers and committees. All
pupils interested in forming such a society
are requested to meet in the school-room,
tomorrow, Friday, evening at seven O'Clock,
when, if a sufficient number are present,
the first steps in forming such a society will
be taken. Such a movement on the part of
the teachers for the benefit of the pupils
should be heartily supported by the entire
school. An organization of this character
would doubtless be of great benefit to its
members, both in school and future life, and
would fill ''long felt want"

are any healthy people left. Thirdly, they
are very disappointing sometimes You
