Declaration of Faith at Berkeley Street Church Installation
The Berkeley Street Congregational Church installed Rev. Charles Albert Dickinson, minister elect, to lead a church that has rebuilt after debt. The service drew representatives from 59 churches and featured a drama of faith statements, a formal installation sermon on adversity, and a new music program funded at about $2000 yearly. Dickinson described his beliefs centered on the Fatherhood of God, the Divine Sonship of Christ, and human prodigal sonship with emphasis on repentance and new birth. The church plans Dorcas-like work for working girls and a new choir to be showcased next Sunday.

Fraser Proposes Salary Reductions in Boston City Council
At the opening of last night’s Boston common council meeting, Councilman Fraser proposed an order to cut city salaries: 20 percent for $5000+, 10 percent for $1200+, and 5 percent for $1000+. He opposed his own measure, noting Republicans would not dare propose it.
