The News of the Various Churches at Home
and Abroad.
Every part of the Lutheran Church
was filled by the large congregation
that assembled last Sunday evening
1t was the first service at which the
large pipe organ was used, and there
was a general desire to hear it. The
service was conducted by Rev. c. E.
McCane, a visiting minister, who
preached an interesting and well pre-
pared sermon. The pastor of the
church, Rev. C.. II. Hockey, presided
at the organ. The service was open
ed with lengthy voluntary, which
demonstrated the skill of the organist
no less than it showed the great variety
and richness of the splendid instru-
ment. The deep mellow tones, the
exquisite, graceful flights of the higher
notes, and the grand music of the full
organ held the congregation spell
bound. The whole service was an en-
joyable one, and showed again that
there's power in music that reaches
the hearts of the people as sometimes
nothing else can.
At the Lutheran Church next Sab
bath morning at II o'clock the dedi-
catory service of the recently pur-
chased pipe organ will be held. The
pastor, Rev. c. H. Rockey, will de-
liver an appropriate address, followed
by the conservation of the organ to
the service of God. At 6 p. m. the
