Dedicatory services were held in the
Trinity English Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Southside, yesterday morning,
afternoon and evening. The new church is
a beautiful and coy little edifce, on Sidney
street, near South Twentv-first street. The
congregation is an English-speaking of1shoot
of the South Eighteenth Street German
Lutheran Church. The new congregation
was formed October 1, 1889, and the corner
stone of the new church was laid last July.
The architecture is semi-gothic, the material
used being dressed brick.
The structure has a moderate-sized audi
torium, the ceiling fnished in white, and the
seats and woodwork in natural colors. The
size is 39x7O feet. 1t is not a large church,
of course, comparatively speaking, but the
work, including the designs, is tasty and
neat. The cost will be a little over s., 900.
