8 THE CHURCH OF ALL SOULS. Dedication of the First Congregation! Charch Of the City of New York—Interesting Ex- ercises=Zermon b, Rev. H. Bellows, As the stranger, or even the citizen unaccustomed Bo wander io that part of the city, strolls up the Fourth avenue, his attention cannot fail to be arrest" @4 by a large pile of buildings situated upon that thoroughfare, between Twentieth aud Twenty-first streets. It is somewhat—as it at present looks—in the shape of a Greek cross, the arms being very much shortened, or rather one—that to the north— being longer than the other, and the whole present” ing 4 atyle of architecture exceedingly novel to the mntravelled Gothamite. On first appearance it does certainly look grotesque; and one would feel almost Inclined to call it a “ folly,” as structures erected in violation of the requirements of utility, sense or taste were wont to be denominated in the mother @ountiy. There isa large tin dome over the centre of the transept, pierced with round windows; and one would imagine, not being apprised of the destination of the edifice, that they were in- tended to throw a softened light upon some choice collection below of the graceful results of the pencil and chisel. But not 80. What- ever speculations the uninformed observer might indulge in as to the purposes for which the building was designed, they would be speedily thrown aside when his eye rested upon the symbol of a common Christiauity rearing its significant form towards the sky—the Cross. The edifice to -which we have reference ix the new church erected by the First Unitarian Society of this city, and hereafter to be known as “The Church of All Souls,” a report of the dedicatory services of which we give below. The church, from the outside—as we have already intimated—looks decidedly queer; perhaps from the fact that we have no specimens of the same style of architecture presented in any one of the hundreds of churches around us—with possibly the exception of a slight touch in Rev. Dr. Cumings’ church in Twenty-cighth street-—and perhaps, from the grotesque contrast of the streaks of red and white—that is, stone and brick—in the walls. The style, however new to us,is not an architectural innovation of yesterday. Itis, technically speaking, what is termed the “Lombardio Romanesque” atyle, of which specimens may be seen to this day in many cities in Italy, viz:—in Verona, Padua, Cremona, Milan, (not the celebrated “ Duorne,” of course,) Vicenza, Mantua, &c., &c. This ®tyle partakes of many of the characteristics of the Haracenic; in fact, it mit be justly termed the Saracenic ecclesiasticised. The length of the building is a hundred and seven feet, with a height to the ridge pole—which, by-the-bye, is ornament- ed with iron work, running its entire length—of some sixty-two feet. The height to the eves is forty- three feet. The dome, which is the most attractive object about the building, when viewed from the outside, is a hundred and six feetin height. In fact, that same dome is the most outre arrangement connected with the entire fabric,and not a few think 80; but then, as it is secundem artem, and in the “style,” of course it must be all right. The courses of stone and brick observable from the outside, are what is termed in the profession “Tarsia,” or inlaid work, a distinguishing feature of the Saracenic or- der. The main entrance is on the Fourth avenue, and consists of a porch of considerable dimensions, standing out fi the main building, There are three arched Yn this porch, flanked on either side by costly mixed yellow and verd antique mar- ble columns, which support capitals of white marble exquisitely carved. Through these doors entrance is obtained to a vestibule the width of the porch, but not of mpch depth. This vestivule is laid with encaustic tiles in imitation of Mosaic; and froin that outer vestibule you approach an inner vestibule by three doors similar to those leading to the outer, but not so large, of course, and thence into the interior of the building. Over the outside entrances there are legends in the old English text, consisting of quota- tions from the Psalms:— sealers cetcee en ettANCLOREIN GSE SERVE THK LORD WITT GLADNESS.

Dennen eeneeeensr seers tPeDET TED DE LELEEELEEDISED HOU Whatever unpleasant impression may have been made upon the mind of the spectator viewing the church from the exterior, it will scarcely fail to be removed when the interior first strikes upon the eye. Simplicity and elegance, combined with a close attention to the distinguishing peculiarities of the style of architecture in which the church is built, are the marked featnres of the interior. The building is lighted by a number of long, narrow, round topped windows, filled with stained glass, also by a very beautifur rose window over the main entrance, and by the light that streams down from the cupola er dome. ‘The pulpit is situated opposite the entrance, at the east endof tbe church, in 9 semi-circular alcove. ‘This alcove is lighted from above by a stained glass window—the centre piece of which represents a dove (emblematic of the Holy Spirit), surrounded by a halo of glory. The pulpit is square, and is placed upon the platiorm of this alcove or chancel—the re- ceases between the pillars, at the back of the alcove, afford conveniences for seats for those assisting at The pulpit, whichis of black walnut, ela- borately carved, will seateabout six. The reading desk is plain. A fair white marble slab, upon a carved walnut frame, constitutes the communion table. The organ is placed in a gallery occupying the northern transept, and is certainly a very mag- nificent specimen of organ architecture. The organ was built by R. M. Ferris, of Honston street, and cost $6,000, exclusive of the case, which, of course, cor- responds in style with the other ornamentation of the church. The probable coxt of the case will be about The organ isnot hy any means completed, as in consequence of which, as may be readily exertions of the choir The front of yet, suppored, the praiseworthy yesterday were somewhat impeded. the organ gallery is divided in two panels, clabo. rately gilt, and are in accordance with the general style of the whole. The roof of the building is of a cream color, and is supportea by uprights resting upon transverse beams, all of black walnut. These beams are ornamented with pendants, and ata fu- ‘ure day will be adorned with iron work elaborately gilt, after the Iralian specimens of this style of architecture. The cupola rests upon this walnut framework, and is painted of a color corresponding with that of the walls of the charch. The unper part of the dome is pierced by a number of circular widows of plain glass, which throw down a snfli- cient amount of bright light to relieve the sombre tone of light coming through the stained glass win- dows. For night service the building will be light ed by some twenty-five or thirty clusters of gas inonies, in ormoli, each cluster’ comprising three lights. The pews, a hundred and seventy in num- ber, and capable of seating some nine handred » are handsomely fitted up with stuffed Backs and cushions rich crimson damask, and the fronte of them facing the pulpit and along the side aisles are panelled and trimmed with da- mask fluted. All the carpeting of the chureh is of crimson and black, snd the pattern—in order to ‘be in keeping with the general style of the archi- tecture of the edifice—resembles a tesselated pave- ment, as near asit is possible for the products of the loom to approach. [tis the intention, we un derstand, of the trustees {g lave the interior walls of the church panes in ! pa °, a vee done, ‘will add greatly to this nlready beautiful temple of That undertaking, however, thes are obli pone for the present for*pressing reasons. It is their intention, also, at a foture day, to erect 6 arty campanile, or bell tower, at the northwest corner of the church, that will rival in elevation the stateliest spires of our city. We will conclude this branch of oor subject by remarking that the church, as it at present stands, has cost pomething like $106,000—that includes the par. chase of od About $85,000 have been ex- po wed we pon this stately pug NEW EERVICHS OF DEDICATION. : Fora considerable time previous to the entrance of the officiating clergyman into the charch, the building kept rapidly filling, but owing to the ad- mission being by ticket only, anything im the way of an unpleasant crowd was avoided. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning, the trustees of the church entered from the vestry room and took seats appropriated for them in front of the pulpit; the pastor of the church, Rev. H. Bellows, Rev. Dr, Lothrop, of Boston, Rev. Dr. Osgood, Rev. Dr. Miles, of Boston, all attired in black silk robes; Rev. Dr. Farly, Brooklyn, Rev. Mr. Frothingham, Jersey City, Rev. Mr. Buckingham, Rev. Mr. Chapin, and a number of other clergymen followed and took seats in the chancel; the officiating clergymen occu- Peg 8 the pulpit. ten , the pastor leading:— L.

Dr. Osgood then read ap We riate selec- tions from the Scriptures, after which the Liebe of dedication was offered up in an bene pres- sive manner by the Rey. Dr. Lothrop, Boston The choir then gave the followin, Pave anthem of dedication (by Boyce) with great effect :— Lhave surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. But will God indeed dweil onesrth? Fehold the heaven, and heaven of hesyens cannot contain Thee, how much less this house that ILuve builded’ Yot have ‘thou respect unto the payer cf Thy rervant, avd to his supplication, O Lord, w ; that Thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which Thou hast sad, My name shall be there. And bearken Thou to the supplication cf Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place; and hrar Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling place, and when Chou hearest, forgive. If there be in the land famine, if there be tlience, whatsoever. plague, whatsoever sickness there ve, what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by 1 thy people Israel, which shall know every man the uo of bis own heart, and spread forth his hands t 's this house, then hearjThou in heaven Thy dwelling place, hear and forgive. Amen, THE SERMON. Rev. Mr. Bellows then ascended to the reading desk and announced that the text of his discourse would be found in the First Epistle of Paul to Timo- thy, second chapter, third, fourth and fifth verses:— For this is good aud acceptable in the sight of Gud our Sayicur. 4, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 6. For there is one God, and ene mediator between God and men, the man Chris: Jesus. Mr. B. then said:—Blessed is the church whose gates open for the first time to celebrate the Sa- viour’s birth, and whose consecrating assembly is summoned by the bell that rings in the happiest and most glorious day in all the year. “Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be lifted up ye everlast- ing doors, that the King of glory shall come in!” The babe of Bethlehem, king of glory even in the manger, come in thy early innocence and. holy beauty into the gates we have lilted up, and within the everlasting doors we have exalted! This place is profane until Thy spirit consecrates it; these pre- parations are unmeaning until Thy occupation in- terprets them. Because there was no home for Thee in Thy infancy, Thou must have the choicest room however hands and hearts can fashion it. Because Thou wast born in a manger, Thon shalt keep Thy birthday in ten thousand tem- ples. If there be avy worth in peace, plenty in prosperity, and if to know God the father and man a brother and a mortal—if these be boons, to Thee—to Thee belong the ceaseless praises of humanity. Let oak and cedar—let polished stones and metals from the mines—let the finest of the wool and the siik of Damascus—let hammer and saw—let teeming brain and sweating hands—let plastic and pains taking labor, and lavish wealth, and patient care—let all unite to build up our grati- inde to show forth ‘Uby praises, Saviour of man; to give Thee back a tithe of the bounty Thou hast heap- ed upon us. But pause! Why tarriest Thou, Thon son of man and of God, that these invocations move not Thy coming? In place of the hastening foot- step, we hear only the reproachful voice saying, “Callest thou me God? There is no God bat one.” And have we forgotten in the gladness of this Christinas morning, first to cry to Him whose sacred majesty exceeds the sun of all created things, whose glory is to be without beginning of days or end of years? To Thee, Almighty God, author of our io Thee God the father of Jesus Christ, 1 Mogg e arbiter of our destinies, ori- of our _ lives, ginal of conscience, ba ae of reason, source of life, hearer pra er, consoler of sorrows—to Thee, God ow th Bible —God of glorious hature—God of od grace—G of all—to Thee, of whom all visible things are sha- dows, and all invisible things are dreams—to Thee, maker of our body, Father of our sonls—to God, in- finite, perfect, all good, all holy, alone to Thee we dedicate this temple inthe name of Jesus Christ our only Lord. We are not strange in the custom of this religions society, in making this Christmas morning one of i ponies praise and prayer. The birth- day of our Saviour bas alway 8 brought us together in worship, and in choosing it for the dedication of our church, we only continve to emphasize the re- verence in which we bave justly held it. It is, how- ever, with particular joy that we solemnize this an- niversary, because added to it and all the prominent and unchanging charms of this day ck is the especial satisiaction we have in the secant tion and ocenpa- tion of a new religious home. Other Christmases have found us in the uttitude of grateful receivers of precious gifts from His only begotten Son. This Christmas finds us prepared with a gift for the Almighty—a temple freshly crea’ for His worship, and humbl Y, we offer it o8 a token of gratitude for all His mercies, and especially for the mission of HisSon. In place of a paige, we offer Him this temple, and may the great God ac- cept it for His child, and cause him to be born anew in cur hearts. It is for others to say what success has attended our efforts to signalize, perpetnate and adorn our fane. It has been our conscientious aim to make a ballaing. in which mean economy, super- ficial show, worldly fi artifice and frand should not en- ter—a building religious in its stracture, from corner stone to dome; and, it @ consummate skill, am un- failing taste, an ungparin, Selene self, ‘ion which neither ridicule or blame could disturb, and a zeal which neither sickness nor pain could impair— if these deserve fame, then indeed the modest archi- tect of this Christian temple has achieved it. Jus- tice compels me here to name with honor the magon whose diticalt part it has been to erect those walls, and the mechanics in general connected with this work. Gratitude forces our thanks offering that no accident haa befallen any laborer in the kag progress of this ouilding. bi shadow cast ba our ‘ney ee ae how great a one | absence of one to whose devotion, ny te on zeal we owe so large apart of whatever :ucces that has attended us. ed reverend jsentleman alluded to the lamented icholas Dean, ay who was an active member of this congregation Rr] He who looked forward with more eagerness than perhaps any one clse to the occasion we are now celebrating died on its ver, threshold and in his vereaved home waita for his burial in the house we are now consecrating. God sanctify ta ws—to this house—the precious memory of his loss. And now, my brethern, yim is itto which the unitarian Christians direct all this—what moves their gratitnde on there great etivatn of the Christian church? This question is so immensely broad, inelnding all that the individaal soul owes to the Gos; ¢) of Christ, and ‘Ml that civilization owos to it, that | will confine myself to a brief survey of the more ger¢ra) bearings of the question, and ask you to look with me at the world ® obligations to the Gospel, considered as anew light and shaping io- fluence The reverend gentleman then pi dl to say that be Sip oged the part ot what the Gospel had dene for society Me lost to the remembrance of the world. The changes it had wrought Led been radical and br gure so vhat the influences of the gospel te come a part of the course of men’s nature, Living in Christenéom—tbat wae in the kingdom of Christ-—Lorn Christians, and fed unconsciously upon the traths of the gore, we had no adequate con- ception of the heathen state of society, nor of the heathen mind. No man in Christendom could pinnes himself into heathen darkness nor extricate may the pressure of those civilizing eeyti- 4 did not forget that the unity and attributes of Cod were known to the Jews; but so far as the great world was concerned, papers from Judaism, they were avshutup mystery. Their Scriptares were Known only to themselves. “Their God was a nationai, a local divinity, though destined to prove the Father and God of'the human race. The Gospel first revealed the known God to the world, which, t knowledge, sprang into a new and pei He did not mean to say that the Gospel tried to do it—all time had been frying to do that; but it actually consummated it. great glory of the Gospel wae that it did not attempt to accomplish its object—it always achieved it. The know! of the one God illuminated the whole family of man. The idea had taken its puse: among the established, universal, inherent, indestructible convictions of hu manity. Science certainly was ever engaged in. roving it; but so it was in measuring the peat of sun, but the light and the heat of it were beyond all such inquiries. Did we sufficiently consider what the world—what we, a8 individual men and women—what this civilization, in whose bosom we dwell, owe to the universal, distinct, unquestioned knowledge, and fear and love of God as the moral ruler, the first cause, the universal provider and fa- ther? Why, brethren of every mame and sect, I tell you it is the great quicken- ing influence’ of the Christian era—the consclation, support and lever of the modern world. God--one God—God the Father-—that word it is that first calls up the eye of the universal family to something beyond apd above themselves. the Father! et speaks to the spirit in prison within it, aud makes the will ready to let free the soul, and the doors of the universe erate, on theirsullen hinges, and slowly fall back as men’s thoughts walk forth seeking their resting pe upon the eternal truths of the Gospel. That knowle ee is the poor man’s friend—it is the word of consolation to all mankind, the unfailing, unyielding trath, the truth beyend the power of Satan to deny it, a tauth that no sagacity can fathom, but which requires no sagacity to under- stand--incredible to be revealed, but indubitable the moment it is known. Mr. B. then adverted to the infinence of this knowledge in destroyin; igek, eae prestige of State, power, blood, oa then proceeded to discuss the effect of ‘ohicstinaie in revealing man to himself and to his brother. In that respect the Christian even more distinctly contrasts with the heathen, and in this era more than in any that had gone before. It was impossible for God to reveal himself to man without revealing man to himself and all men to each other. If God were our father, then we were all children of his; and whatever glory and spirituality belonged to God belonged to man, as entering into his con- ception of the Father; and that was what rendered that word “humanity” so divine, bien in it our various saces with a spirit worthy of God himself. ‘That idea was now the practical and popular thought of the whole literature, Toney, y, commerce and acti- vity of the age. He thai God that we lived in an age when not titles, nor wealth, nor family, nor caste, but that man had a soul to be saved, was the uppermost idea of all Christians. In fact, the great hope and faith and really practical effort of the world at this day was that of the regeneration and universal beatification of our common humanity. And here he would say that he considered the existence of public opinion was the greatest tri- umph of Christianity. To us itseemed the most batural thing imaginable that pape opinion should exist; bnt —heathendom no such thing—they did not know the meaning of the words. That which was the great adhesive power in the world at the present time—that which consti- tuted the great basis of all our happimess and de- sires, namely: the existence of that great moral en- gine ‘called public opinion—was nothing more than the awakei ed spirit of humanity called into being through the infivence of the Sonet of Christ, and now brought into antagonism with the wrongs, the weaknesses and crrors of the world. Get public opinion once started in the world, and the world is safe; Christ started it, for it was in its very nature an ever self-creating, self-preserving and expanding force, and prejudice nor ignorance could not long pollute or approach it. After an elaborate discas- rion of this and kindied tovics, in illustration of his position, the eloquent preacher proceeded to the consideration of the Pena | what name shall we distinguish this temple of God—this our re! gious home? Three names had been suggested by the committee who had had the matter un- der consideration. The first was “ Eua- nuel” or “God 1s with us.” He did not approve of adopting a name that was in need of a transiation, Then it was suggested that it be called“The Church of All Saints;” that also was inapproj priate, as that was to be a church for “all sinners” as well as for fall saints.” We have, said Mr. B., found one title which comes up to all the requirements of what the designation of a church demands, and by the advice of the trastees, I name this house which we have built, “The Churett of All Souls.” By this broad and Christian title let this edifice hereafter and forever be known. “Be- hold all souls are many,’ saith the Lord, and this church is dedicated to their eulvation. Christ is the Saviour of all men. He it is who has tanght the world that men have not merely lives, but souls, He it is from whom we learn thatall men are brethren, because all men have souls; and it is our glorivas faith that he died for all sonls, and that living and dying all souls shall reap the fruits of his redemp- tion. CONCLUDING EXERCISES. At the close of Mr. Bellows’ discourse, of which the foregoing is but a synopsis, in consequence of the difficulty of hearing much of what fell from the reverend gentleman's lips, Rey. Mr. Frothingham gave out the following original hymn, written for the occasion by the late Nicholas Deane, Eaq.,an es tecemeed member of the congregation: — Tune— Arlington.)
