he Universalist in 1864, and Dr. Emerson was sole editor until 1867, when he moved to New York, where he edited the Christian Leader until 1872. At the same time he was pastor at Huntington. Returning to Boston in April, 1872, he resumed his connection with the Universalist, and was its editor, under its various names of the Universalist, the Christian Leader, and the Universalist Leader, until his death. He was the author of several books, and contributed many articles to the Quarterly. As a speaker he was in great demand at conventions and denominational gatherings of every kind. He had a large acquaintance among the clergy and laity of the Universalist Church, and was esteemed by all as a friend. In recognition of his eminent abilities, St. Lawrence University conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1871.

The society to-day is, as it has always been, one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the church. Its monthly suppers and socials are now attended by hundreds, many coming from other churches. On an average, $500 or $600 is raised annually from this source alone. In recent years the men have had charge of one supper each fall. The annual supper brings out from three to four hundred guests. Tables, chairs, and dishes for the entertainment of 300 people have been rece
