DedicatOry Service.

The seating capacity of the church
is l 200, including the galleries and
the lecture room, which opens into
and becomes part of the main audi
forum when desired. The auditor
ium is furnished with large and COM
Portable pews, SO arranged that each
row forms the segment of a circle in
front of the pulpit. Chairs are sup
piled in the lecture room. Every seat
was taken during the morning service
by large and fashionable congrega-
tion. The pulpit platform and pulpit
were beautifully decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants and ferns
and vines.
The music of the day was prepared
by Mrs. III. A. Patterson, and it's uni
form excellence was the best testi-
mony to the ability of Mrs. Patterson
as we'll as of those assisting.
The services opened with an organ
voluntary, with Miss Robb presiding
at the piano with her usual grace. In
their order came

many things that are simple and in
telligible, that come home at once to
the hearts, and fall in with the eX-
perience and satisfy the longings of
the children of God
In this respect it is like the great
| field of nature, where there are dizzy
heights which the strongest and most
daring cannot scale, and pleasant
hooks and sunny glades where the
feeblest find shelter and the most
timid are at home.
However difficult of Interpretation,
may be the seals and walls, and
beasts, the visions of fire, OF
plague and of darkness, there is one
thing that all through this book
shines forth with clear and heavenly
radiance, and that is the glory of the
victorious and enthrOned Redeemer.
Above the clashing of swords and the
rolling of thunders, is heard the voice
of adOring praise rendered to Him
who sitteth dpon the throne-the
"King of kings and Lord of lords".
Often have we contemplated Him in
His humiliation, "the Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief"-the de-
spiSed and rejected one. Often have
we read the sad story, and as we read
seemed to hear the hoarse voice of the
eXasperated mob shouting away
with Him away with Him! cruelty
Him cruelty Himm Often have we
beheld Him nailed to the accursed
tree that sacred head crowned with
thorns, that side pierced by the spear.
Often have our hearts melted under
the spectacle as we have thought
and this, all this for me.
But it is another and far different
scene that is opened up before the
vision of the soul this morning 1t is
Knocked, rejected, crucifed; but now
infuriate rabble, we hear burst of
eXultant and grateful alteration,
"Alleluia, salvation and glory and
power unto the Lord our God" In
stead of the taunt "He saved others,
Himself He cannot save" we hear
as it were, "the voice of great mul til
tude, and as the voice of many waters
and as the voice of mighty thunder
ings saying, Let us be glad and re-
joice and give honor unto Him." And
on that Kingly brow, still marked by
the scars of the thorns, He wears, not
one, but many crowns, and He hath
on His vesture and on His thigh a
name written ''King of kings and
Lord of lords" Surely there is no
theme that could more tittingly en-
gage our attention on this happy and
suspicious occasion than the King
ship of Him in whom centers the
faith, the hope, the affection of all
who hear the Christian name. For His
glory these walls have been reared. In
His name we assemble today. His
name shall be the central theme of all
that is to be proclaimed in coming
years from this pulpit. 1t is His
gospel that shall be preached, His
praise that shall be sung; in His name
all prayers be offered.
Therefore, l ask you to contem-
plate with me the exalted Saviour,
who bore the cross and now wears the
crown, whose sufferings were the pio
neers of His victories, and whose
many crowns are but the memorials
of His many trials, and the evidence
as well of His universal sovereignty.
son His head are many crowns."l

DAY BY DAY IT GROWS.

STRAUss DON'T BELIEVE THAT
there has ever been dry goods business
conducted in this county that has grown
to such proportions and has made such
rapid strides to notoriety as has his busi-
ness in the past twelve months. Almost
with leap and bound the most reckless
competition has been pushed aside and
STRAUSS business is perched on the
highest pinnacle of success. For miles
around people are coming to STRAUSS
to spend their hard earned money, know
ing that their wants and necessities can
be supplied with less money than any
where else.
People have come to strauss's and
found the store so crowded as to cause
them to wander elsewhere to make their
purchases, and after few hours stroll
in other shops, fell into Stra uss's durin
a lull in business, and upon examination
of our goods and prices, have become so
dissatisfied with their trading that they
threatened to take their purchases back
and demand their money. We cannot
wait upon our customers in minute
but if you will be patient until we can
reach you, you will get both goods and
prices to satisfy you.
In the past ten days I have picked up a
number of bargains, and as it is my Gus
tom to give the benefits of my experience
and cash, enumerate few Of these bar

THE New Haven Republican papers
are sharply rebuking the Yale Col

when he attempted to speak at that
place. Many conservative people in
the classical city. though politically
opposed to their distinguished visitor,
are heartily ashamed of this Disgrace
full affair. The fact that New Eng

evidence that the action of the hood

THE STANDARD, when it published
the Peoples county platform, set
trap for its credulous little friend on
the hill, the Oympian. and before the
week was out poor "Oly's" scalp was
dangling at our belt. The following
plank was omitted, and "Oly" at once
jumped to the conclusion that the Re-
publican platform was the better drag
net for catching votes, and whooped it
up on that line through several issues.
We now shake the plank and "Oly"
falls with dull thud. Here it is:

as politically, the true basis of finan-
