flood OF radiance. The windows were
open to let in the pure air. Around the
doors were groups OF pretty children who
occupied seats on one eide as members oil
the Sunday school. The pulpit was dec
Grated with evergreens from the sur
rounding hills, frightened by beautiful
flowers and plants. A bouquet OF crys-
anthemums decked the bank OF green in
the back ground. Upon the wall In soft
colors of brown and gold these words
"Hslleluish, Praise the Lord - the echo
OF every glad heart beating in exultstion
that the hour had come which should
witness the house dedicated to the wor-
ship OF the Lord.
The large concourse OF people listened
with expectancy TO the anthems OF prais a.
The Holy City" was sung by Miss
Scroggr, lifting the eyes to behold in pic
ture the "New Jerusalem" The history
Of the church was recalled by the pastor.

gratitude extended to every one who bad
aided In erecting the church and to those
friends OF the cause who had literally
contributed the necessary furnis hines
enabling the committee to finish at this
time aud to consecrste the building to
HE service.
The sermon by DR.. Mckee was one Of
great power and spirit. He spoke for one
hour and q quarter with the fervor and
grandeur OF soul Characteristic OF his
wonderful evsngelis,ic capability The
people were moved to ears and then
smiles OF peace and sweetness rested on
every countensnce IN triumphant
changes. The bells OF heaven rang and
