Corbett. -'.Mrs. C W. Hurrace, the only charter member of the Woman's Alliance of the Unitarian church, who waa present at the fiftieth anniversary celebration last Tuesday, recalled eome of her early experiences in the alliance, speaking- as follows: 1 thought that you might be in terested to know how we first found oat who the Unitarians were. I will tell you how I found out the Frazaxa. X waa attending the Presbyterian church when Mr. Holman came to me and wanted to know If I would take a Class In the Sujrtay school. I replied, 'Mr. Hblm&n, I am afraid if you knew What chrurch I belong to you would not Want me we are Unitarians.' He said he believed Mr. and Mrs. Frazar were Unitarians, lie dil not know any others. He did not say anything more About my taking- a class, but he little realised how much that bit of informa tion meant to me. You will remem ber this was in the early days of the CJvll war and the sanitary commission hid been organized, which, of course, I joined at once. '"Transportation charges were so blrb, everything: having to go by the (isthmus, we could only send money, btlt we had our meetings every month land it was here I made the acquaint ance of Mrs. Frazar. "r " - "James Cook Fays Visit, nr." James -Cook called at the house to sje Mr.-Barrage on some business and oa the table happened to be a tract by "Sr. Bellow on fnitarianisin. He said, jfWhy tkt' Is, what my mother and 1 are. "So "here was another clue. Mrs. iAbbot was a young woman from San yranclauo spending some time here. I Cannot remember how I became ac quainted with ilrs. foodnough. They Mrere Universal is ts from Vermont, but JtHeywere Just a glad to come In with u as we were to have them. Our first little gathering was at her house, be ans very central, where the Goodnough ttiillsfln nnv stanza . . "Mrs. Frazar was chosen chairman tod Mrs. Abbot, secretary; Mrs. Frazar Drought and read to us those fine sen timents representing the object of the fathering;. They were made the pre amble to the constitution and have al ways remained so. At this meeting a Committee of three, Mrs. Abbot, Miss ' JRobins (afterwards Mrs. Hurgren) and . myself were appointed to draft a con stitution. j At a meeting held two weeks later, at my house, the constitution was read and adopted. Mrs. Frazar . was - chosen president, Mrs. Abbot, secre- ary, and myself treasurer. We planned to earn what we could by sewing and that ;by hand as there were very .few machines In those days. Hiver Bad Eefreshments. ."Frome that time on Wednesday afternoons were set aside for the Sew ing society Just as religiously as Sun day morning was to church service. ' "And another thing I think was. so Wise in the days of our small begin ning, we never had refreshments, we had no time for such indulgences. We met at 2 o'clock or earlier if we could, business was called at 3 o'clock and adjourned at 4. You all remember how the first $30 we earned was sent to Dr. Stebbins to purchase a communion service, the same that is in use now. . "Whether it cost more than this amount we never knew. "As the months went by Mr. Frazar wrote to Dr. Stebbins of San Fran Cisco asking him to come up and preach for us for a few Sundays that ' We might call together the friends of Liberal Christianity that we might as certain if there were a sufficient nrjm- ber to warrant our attempting to start a church. Services Held Here. - "Dr. Stebbins came up in April. I860. and remained three weeks, doing us ! an invaluable service. The services ' were hd in the Kaptist Sunday school room. During Dr. stebbins' visit a ery important step was taken. We held a social gathering at the residence Of James- Cook and his mother. "Dr. Stebblne made a very encour aging talk and called for subscrip tions for the support of a minister and for the purchase of a lot on which to erect a church. The sum of $1175 was subscribed towards a lot and $800 for the support of a minister, and men ' were selected to form a board of trus tees. They soon began to look about lui: imiuvi. . urn viituujj lite two lots where the church now stands .fori $2000 It was soon decided to ac "cept the offer and the lots were pur ; ehased- Our sewing society had made $660. Then came the question should they proceed at once to build a chapel Af waif until we Kail a minister A - mMHn? was railed rvf thn mn nnrt women together. I well remember one of the men saying, 'Xow, ladies, this Is a business proposition. Do you give thl $500 or b It a loan that you ex- pect to have paid back?" We were "very unanimous in our answer. Church Is Built. Ta,, was our contribution to the Church. I think that this decided them td build before we had a minister. We had $500 when the building was to cost only $2500, and In a lump waa an - . H... .1 i rtr- Uaw II-I il .1 1, T V. It J- know, but I think that by the time the chapel was completed and ready to furnish we had nearly another $500 to eon-tribute to the furnishings. The furnishings of the chapel were very plain, the seats were Just wooden v btanches but they were very comfort--. able, there was no carpet on the floor, but it was free from debt. Everything -'waa paid for and the chapel was ready . to- dedicate on the arrival of our pas- tor, December 24, 1867.'' Jewish Fugitives on Their Weary Way - .s . ; Stockholm, Dec. 4.
