And Pastor Recalls Need for Others at
UEiyersalist Church.

The services yesterday iii the Uni
versalist church were Of special interest
The handsome new c0nlinunion table, se-
cured By the Young Peoples Christian
Union with the Lucy Allen fund, had
been placed. In his Introductory RE-
marks, the pastor said IN parts
"Henceforth the communion service in

you that which Is memorial Of one who
was very dear To home in our midst
and who IL tenderly cherished by her
friends and co.workers in the church

speak to us Of those who no longer sit
at our sides Or move before our faces
In the discharge OF accustomed duties.
"rhe window back Of the altar and
before you ever in the house Of worship
here Is memorial to two ministers
whose pastoratcs came together, one hay

They were teachers Id His name to whom

Down now before the altar, on level
with the pews Of the people, is that
which Is memorial of Him who was our
Elder Brother and of her who was dis
ciple and was one among you. and the
individual service shall even more sym
bolize and express this.
NAnd friends, there ought TO be me-
mortal windows along the sides. They
admitting The light, might better speak
to us by day of those who were lights
of the church and Of the community,
who were exemplary IN their walk as
Ieitizens. and who are cherished; and by
night, with the light within, the way
faring man might look to the church
and see beautiful testimonies to depart
ed worth, in the memory and strength
of which the church today largely lives
The living are not alone IN supporting
and carrying on the work Of the church

The suggestion Of the pastor was fay-
orably commented upon, and it is prob
able that ere long there viii be some
memorial windows put in, taking the
place OF others which are IN need OF re-
pairs. There were more members re-

chords, with hammer action, in 1915,
and SchrOter in Germany claimed to
have invented the ]pianoforte between
1T17 and 1927. Marius at first was
generally credited with the invention,
for it was not until 1873, when CristO-
forts instruments had become famous,
that the Italian advanced his claim,
and it was in 1853 that he brought for,
ward the proof of his contention.
