ts of Great Britain. Russia had claimed and exercised jurisdiction over all that portion of Bering Sea . . . and that claim had been tacitly recognized and acquiesced in by the other maritime powers of the world. The seizure and condemnation of the British vessels were followed by an attempt to secure a more precise and strict definition of the waters of Alaska by congressional legislation. A lengthy investigation was Had by a committee of the House of Representatives in 1888; in in January, 1889, a report was made by Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, chairman of the committee, fully sustaining the view taken by the Attorney-General and the federal judge in Alaska, and submitting a bill which declared that Section 1,956 of the Revised Statutes of the United States was intended to include and apply to, and is hereby declared to include and apply to, all waters of Bering Sea in Alaska embraced within the boundary lines of the treaty with Russia. This bill was passed by the House, but in the

body of self-respecting and permanent citizens, a credit to the company and to their city. J. A. Wade, the superintendent, began as a boy in 1851, and has practical knowledge of every detail of the processes of manufacture. The Magazine Street building, quite isolated when built, and for many years a sort of landmark, is now surrounded by residences of elegance and comfort, and the company, feeling the locality unsuited for manufacturing purposes, and having outgrown the building, in January, 1889, bought twelve thousand square feet of land on the corner of Blackstone and Albro streets, in a section occupied by kindred industries, such as the Riverside Press, the Little & Brown Bindery, etc., erecting in that year a fine four-story brick building, containing twenty-five thousand square feet of floor space, and built on the most substantial and approved mill-construction methods, it being fireproof and admirably adapted to the needs of the business from basement to roof.

. In the fall of 1889 a chairman for each meeting was appointed, a corresponding secretary was elected, also a treasurer. Mr. Glines was the first chairman, Mr. Earle, corresponding secretary, and Edward Southworth, treasurer. A constitution was adopted October 26, 1889, and that evening the first number of the C. C. C. Journal appeared, edited by A. W. Glines. This was a unique affair. Probably copies of the Journal are still in existence among the relics of past members. From January, 1889, to January, 1890, eighteen regular meetings were held, with an average attendance of 9.2. The highest record of attendance belongs to the following members, in the order given: Messrs. Haven, Earle, Glines, Hayes, L. Moore, Janvrin, Southworth, etc. The field meeting for April 3, 1890 (Fast Day) was held at the same place as the year before, Blue Hills, via Readville. A visit on the pastor was made April 19. A second outing, the first time with ladies, was on May 30; the place, St

s meetings. It was also voted that all funds be raised by voluntary contribution. It may be interesting to note the first year's work of the society. Forty-one devotional meetings were held, in charge of twenty-one persons, nine being members of the society, and twelve being ministers, divinity students, etc. These meetings averaged seventy-five in attendance. The society sent money to both the state and general convention of Universalists, and did considerable missionary work. In January, 1889, Leslie Moore was elected president, and served six months. During his term of office, Sunday schools at Dover, N. H., and Blenheim, Canada, were aided. At this time the formation of a national confederation of young people's societies was being agitated, and our constitution was made the basis of the proposed society. Alfred Cardall was at the head of the movement, and the result was our present national Y. P. C. U. Miss Gertrude Earle was the next president, serving from June, 18

ev. S. W. Sample, of Chelsea; benediction by the pastor, Rev. J. B. Reardon. Additional interest was added to the ceremonies by excellent music from the choir and congregation both afternoon and evening. It proved a deeply interesting occasion, and the remodelled church was again opened for the worship of God, and to help in the continued building of a Christian community. Mr. Reardon remained here until April, 1887. Prof. Charles H. Leonard had temporary charge of the pulpit until January, 1889, when it was voted to invite Rev. Warren S. Woodbridge to become our pastor, and he commenced his services in April. He proved a faithful pastor, and was instrumental in establishing the Young People's Christian Union, which has greatly interested our young people. 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 enga
