pews have been fspainted, and II is estimated
that the edlace will seat about 400 persons
Quite an agreeable contrast Is afforded
the gallery BY their fine new. organ, which,
though not powerfully, IL still very sweetly
toned; IL was procured through the agency Of
Prof. August Robelen from the Smith American

and quarter octaves, and cost about S32J.-
The Interior floor of the building has been COW

desirable pattern, while good new mating has
been laid In the vestibule.
The day was al that could be desired and the
doors were thrown open early. Upon entering
the church on this bright morning, the beauty
OF lis arrangement impressed itself on the mind
Of the spectator. The pulpit, recess, walls and
windows were Hastily decorated with festoons
and wreaths Of evergreens, interviewer with
flowers and autumn leaves, and, In fact, the
well-displayed taste OF the ladies' of the congre-
CATION, was In every way shown of to the best
advantage. But while we are mentally taking
IN these things, the church bells are ringing for
the last time, and young and old come po,iring
Into the already crowded room. At precisely
III O'Clock the pastor, Rev. p Iesensmith, gave
out the hymn, after the singing of which, the
work was commenced OF dedcating the eilifice
to the service of Almighty God. Al its conclu-
sion, Rev: Mr.. Wlshan of st. Paul's Lutheran
Church, Philadelphia, delivered a most excel
lent sermon, in which he congratulated the Ger
mans OF wilmington ON the happy completion
Of their work. He also presented them with
the heartiest we-wishes of the sister churches
OF the Quaker City, and he encouraged them to
persevere In the task so successfully undertaken
his remarks were indeed well-timed and appro-
pirate to the occasion Ills loud clear voice, the
fnency and elegance Of his delivery rendering
MS words doubly impressive on the hearts OF
his attentive listeners. When he had concluded
the pastor OF the congregation arose and stated
tust collection wonld be taken after the ser
vice, and expressed the hope that all present
would give with liberal hand and willing
heart, At precisely II O'Clock, M, the beuedc.
lion was pronounced after which the audience
started for thei respective homes highly graft
ned With the morning so joyously and happily
passed. aud feeling Justly proud of their "New
Zion" for the rebuilding of which they had
been struggling so hard. The present indica-
tons show that their lsbors have not been with
out reward the building Is still ineumbered
with debt; but with faithful and encouraging
WORDS from their excellent pastor, who, 80 will
here say, has been an energetic laborer and CO.
worker in the good cause, and with the inspir-
ing thought that they have something to strug-
gle on for, the members will eventually have
their efforts crowned with success.
In the afternoon MIR. Wishan gave the Sunday
school the benefit of a short address. replete
with "wit aud WISDOM In which he gave an
outline of the ST. Paul's school at Philadelphia,
me manner IN which II is conducted, and max.

body appeared thoroughly pleased. The GEN. |
