Gray, of Arlington; sermon by Rev. Richard Eddy, of Melrose; dedicatory prayer by President E. H. Capen, of Tufts College; address to the parish by Rev. S. W.

At a quarter-past seven the company, numbering sixty-five, were assembled about the tables, and joined in singing Blest be the Tie that Binds. The divine blessing was invoked by Rev. E. C.

The first record and probably the first observance was July 2, 1868, when twenty-five children were baptized. This service was instituted in 1858 by Rev. C. H.

Brother Woodbridge continued with us until December, 1893, when he resigned, and became Professor of Applied Christianity in the Divinity School, Tufts College. Soon after the resignation of Rev. W. S. Woodbridge, an engagement was made with the Rev. W. H. Dearborn, who for many years was pastor of the Universalist society in Hartford, Conn. We were much favored with the ability of this pastor, who remained with us until October, 1898. At a parish meeting held in January, 1899, it was voted unanimously to extend a call to the Rev. Clarence L. Eaton, who graduated the previous year from Tufts Divinity School. He immediately commenced his services as pastor, and remains so at this date. On the 16th day of March he was ordained and installed with appropriate ceremonies by the following clergymen: Invocation, by Charles

At this time a committee was chosen, consisting of George Gay, James O. Curtis, and Mrs. Hepsibah Cotting, to draft a constitution and report at a subsequent meeting. In July this committee made report, and a constitution was adopted to govern the association. The first article reads as follows: The society shall be called the Universalist Sabbath School Teachers' Association. Then follow articles two to ten inclusive, naming the officers to be elected annually, the duties of said officers, and other matters pertaining to the interest and government of the school.
