Dedicated.

The Albany Democrat contains the fol
lowing account of the dedication of the new
Presbyterian church at that place:
Thursday evening the new Presbyterian
church was crowded full, even the aisles be-
ing occupied, many being turned away on
account of i lack of ROOM The services
were opened with song by q quartette
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Wyatt,
Mr.. Kinross and Miss Annie Griffin, all of
Portland. This as well as, their singing
throughout the entire services was excel
lently rendered. 1t Is rarely the case that
we hear better vocal music. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Lindsey, of Tie Portland
Presbyterian church, hymn was read by
Rev. D. w. Cameron and heartily joined
in by the whole congregation. Rev. S.
G. Irvine gave scripture reading, which
was followed by another song by the quar-
tette The dedication sermon was preached
by Rev. E. R. Geary, of Eugene, and was
impressive and attentively listened to. He
chose for Ills text John XVII.17, "Sanc-
tify them through thy truth; thy word is
truth" Another song was rendered by the
quartette. and then Rev. I. 81. Condit of
fered the dedication. prayer consecrating
the church to the services of God. A solo
by Mr.. Kinross evoked considerable praise
He has powerful bass voice, which,is COM
pletely at his command. Rev. Lindsley,.
of Portland, spoke in a fervent,: eloquent
strain, and was listened to with the closest
attention. Another song was followed by
short address by Rev. Berry, of Salem, who
has made many friends in Albany by his
earnest manner aud logical style. Inter-
spersed with music were some pointed re-
marks by Rev. S. G.. Irvine and historical
review of the church since it was first pro-
posed to build it by Rev. /. a. Condit.
It has cost little over $1,000, is entirely
out of debt and only owes tor the lights and
one stove, the payments on which do not
become due till the lst of April. Other
things will need to be added but within >
year it is hoped by ths members of the
church to have everything complete. The
exercises were closed with the doxology
and beiediction by Rev. ]. w. Hollen-
bau CHS.
