EUREKA MILLS, VA, April 3.-(Spe-
cial. )-Bethlehem, the beautiful Presby-
terrain church recently erected near this
place, was on Sunday dedicated to the
service Of the Lord. The dedicatory SER
vices, which were conducted by Professor
Walter w. Moore, ID D., of Union Theo-
logical Seminary, were especially appro-
pirate and interesting. The sermon OF
DR.. Moore on this occasion was from the
text His Name Shall Endure Forever"
DR.. Moore breaches with great power.
completely captivating his auditors and
holding them spellbound by his splendid
flow of language.
After the sermon DR.. Moore stepped
out in front of the pulpit and received
from the elders the keys Of the church.
at the same time compllmenting them
on having such pretty and commodious
house In which to worship God. and turn
ing TO the deacons he gave them the
keys, thereby formally committing the
church to their care and keeping So
large was the crowd which was in attend
ance on this occasion that many could
not get inside of the church. The SER
vices were concluded by the choir sing
ing the hymn God be with you till we
meet again." and the Benedction from
DR.. Moore. Rev. j. NJ. w. Elder. stu
dent of Union Theological Seminary, is
supplying the pulpit Of this church for
the present and II Is hoped he will ac-
cept the call the congregation has given
him to become their pastor.
A pleasant coincidence Of the dedica-
tory services is that the first sermon DR..
Moore preached while a student at Union
Theological Seminary was at the old
church OF Bethlehem, which has been
torn down and carried to another yart
of the county to be used as miss on
