President William Dewitt Hyde of
Bowdoin College has been offered and
has about decided to decline the posi-
ton of secretary of the Massachusetts
State Board of Education. The place
was offered President Hyde some time
ago with the understanding that the
salary would be raised from $4,000 to
50, 900 year. Despite this proposed in
crease in remuneration prominent Bow
dom men are convinced that President
Hyde will not accept. Strong pressure
has been brought to bear to retain Presi-
dent Hyde at Bowdoin, and certain
alumni. il is understood, have begun a
movement to have his salary increased
to an amount fitting for man of his
standing.

The keys were delivered by X. n. Hall,
chairman of the building committee, to
A. Z. Shurtleff, chairman of the trustees,
with brief appropriate remarks by each.
The dedication sermon was given by
Rev. +. w. Hamilton of Boston, from
the text, "Think not that am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets; am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill"
After speaking of the Importance to the
community of the building of a church,
marking a step forward in its religious
life, he asked, "Why this new church in
addition to the old?'' and answered him.
self, because this community is grow
ing, not only in size, but in thought"
Many people, said the speaker, think
that the Universalist mission is simply
one of denial. Unless this community is
different from others, there are in it
some who really feel bad to see this
church go up, because they think that
influences shall here be set to work
which will weaken the moral fibre OF
the community. Leaders of new move
ments have always been condemned.
Even Jesus Christ was crucified for
blasphemy. Universalism comes not to
destroy, but to fulfill; not to weaken
| faith in God or the Saviour, but to give
larger and better conception of them;
not to minimize the awfulness of sin,
but to make it more hideous in the light
of our sonship to God.
Following the sermon, hymn written
for the occasion by the pastor was sung
to the tune of America:
| our Father, ills To Thee,
| Whose 1--we is broad ami free,
To thee we raise
| Our voice In song to night;
| Foo thou hast blessed our sight,
Oar toll for truth and right,
With this, Our Home.
And unto Thee We bring
| This church, our Offering;
| Oh. may 1t be
| Each day and year, a shrine,
An influence pure divine,
| Helping Thy light to shine
ON earth from Thee.
Each soul may here have part.
| Each one here bow the heart,
Most holy Lord.
MAY none here come In vain
To worship In thy name,
/ But here find grace and strength
From Thee, our God
The dedicatory service came next. A
responsive service arranged by the pas
tor. Rev. j. III. Little, was conducted by
him, and at the close he scattered white
and scarlet flowers and evergreen upon
the altar, saying in substance, "rhese
white flowers are emblems of the purity
of our faith and hope; the scarlet, of the
J zeal which has led pastor and people
along the pathway of faith, labor and
D self-sacrifice to this hour of success; the
, evergreen is an emblem of immortality
and that unfaltering faith in God which
| shall abide with us forever. Amen"
The dedicatory prayer was offered b!
Rev. c. E. Angel of Norway, and thu
benediction by Rev. Mr.. Taylor CLOSED
