IMPOSING CEREMON les
MARK THE DEDICATION OF THE
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

Large Audiences Present Both Day ana
Evening.-Eloquent Sermon by Rev. c. f.
Thwing, President Western Reserve
University.-Sketch of the Church.
Sunday, September 1S, was a day long
to be remembered by the people OF Well
ington. The horizon was covered with
clouds which had the appearance OF
threatening rain, but the people did not
let that keep them away.
The service of dedication began with
an organ prelude, after which the call to
worship was given by the pastor and re-
spOnsive reading was conducted by Rev.
A. G. Wall. The scripture lesson was
given by Rev. E. T. Hagerman.
The dedication sermon was preached
by Pres. c. F. Thwing, D. D., OF Adelbert
College Cleveland, from the 10th 2lst and
22d verses of the 9th chapter of 1st Cor
inthians. A reading of the text would
be sufficient to make it appear that the
effort OF the sermon was 10 SHOW tne
duty of the church to adapt its methods
to the varying conditions and necessi-
ties of mankind. 1t was the
most mastery presentation of the
duties and obligations of the church to-
ward political, social, ethical, moral and
religious questions that we have heard
or read for many day. Its strength
was not so much in argument and cOn-
clusion as in question and suggestion,
leaving the mind to work out its own
conclusions, some Of which must newt
able lead to broader, and more liberal
ideas Of religious truth than are com
monty held. Coming from less schoi-

and truthfulness might be questioned by
the very conservative, but as 1t Is the
sermon will excite attention, stimulate
thought and cultivate that not too COM
mon grace of charity for those with
whose opinions we differ.
1t was refreshing to hear from the pull
pit that doctrine to be accepted must
convince the reason; that character and
conduct are Of more vital moment than
any opinions man may hold with re-
ference to doctrine; that various doc
trines are supported by different degrees
of evidence, leaving a legitimate infer
ence that some things may be questioned
Or even rejected, if the evidence is lnsut-
! fcient to convince the reason, without
compromising ones christian integrity
He taught the duty Of the church to con-
Germ itself more largely in the material
| interests Of humanity, and in the grea'
sociological and moral questlOnS thaV ai'
now confronting the world, and 80 AID IL
ushering in millennium Of peace ant
good will, which is the highest exemp
lification Of the spirit Of Christ.
II we we're to venture criticism, whic'
is vet not criticism, we would say tina
the sermon was too compact, too terse, to
full. too little Of amplihcation and Il
lustration, to be appreciated at its fuI
value by a popular audience, but thi
could hardly have been different withou
extension much beyond the limit OF
sermon and Of the occasion.
Besides this was more than atOned 70
by the wealth of thought and suggestio
ii contained. We had purposed to Civ
our readers quite full abstract, or PEI
haps publish the sermon entire, but f(
various reasons were unable to. do so.
The sermon will long remain in men
Ory and be a mental and spiritual II
: spiration, and a prophecy of a mo
glorious future for the church.

these beautiful windows we are facinated
by the powerful portrayal Of the humili-
ty and goodness Of Christ, and are i'm
pressed with the fact that works Of this
description must prove an agency in de-
veloping what is good in mankind.
A large ceiling light in the auditorium
sheds on the congregation wealth of
color and minimizes alike defects in
faces and furnishings and impartS a
restful glow to the most ordinary things.
The windows in the Sunday school room
are executed in crystalline glass with
delicately tinted OrnamentatiOn and
present very pleasing appearance. All
the glass work betray a studied effort on
the part Of the makers and are highly
creditable both to the committee who Sc
lected the designs and to The Flanagan

itself so significant of her concern for

April 20, 1924, by Lot B. Sullivan and
Alfred H. Belts.
The first meeting house was a log
school house standing on thej corner

where ]. s. Mallory & Co.'S store is now
located. Here the Church worshiped un-
til 1880, when brick building was erect
ed with an auditorium above, and two
school rooms below. The auditorium was
also the town hall, the building being
erected and owned jointly by the town
and Church. About 1889 this was taken
down on account of the weakness of the
foundation, and building was erected
for school and town hall purposes, re-
naming until removed to make room for
the present town hall in 1885. The new
church edi6ce was a frame building
standing beside the hall, and was
erected in 1889, but was burned to the
ground in the winter Of the same year.
Iu the next year a house was erected on
the site Of the old. 1t was known as
'the White church"
In 1878 the site and building were
sold to wellington township and the
building was used for town hall until
1885, when 1t was sold to W. R. Santley
| & Co. and removed to the lot where the
Wellington Hardwood mill now stands,
and was consumed by fire about five
years ago.
A beautiful and commOdiOus bricl
edifice was erected in 1889, Rev. X
Beecher preaching the dedication sermon
April 3, 1879, and this was consumed b.
fire on the morning February 9, 1895

fact it is probably one Of the best ar
ranged church edifices in the state and
outside the large cities one of the best in
the country, and is admirably suited to
our needs.
THE BASEMENT
contains six rooms aside from Railways
and entrances, which will be under the
exclusive control Of the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Society. At the northwest corner
will be found the kitchen and pantry, on
the west side the dining room, in the
southwest corner the ladies' parlor and
on the south side two toilet and cloak
rooms for the ladies and gentlemen. The
floors are all finished in the latest style,
the parlOr Is equipped with a CRATE and
the floor is laid with rugs.
The building Is looked upon by all as
an ornament to the town and has been
constructed at a cost Of $4,000. The
work upon it was began in June 1895,
and completed September 10, 1895. A
great deal of credit is due the several
committees and more especially Geo. l..
Couch, who has been on duty daily from
beginning to completion.
Among the most attractive features of
the church we must mention the beauti-
full stained glass windows furnished by
the Flanagan & Biedenweg Co., Of
Chicago, designers Of memorial windows
and stained glass. The windows are
beautifully colored in shades of OLIVE
and amber,a a harmonious blending o.
tints, which shuts out the glare Of day
and sheds a mellOwed radiance over tn,
interior Of the edifce. On the east ant
south sides are two large figure windows

COOL SUITS CUT.

In view of the fact that there re- mains but six or eight weeks of usm- mer and having yet in stock a number of those elegant summer suits, and coats and vests, we will from now on just to close them out, make cut of 20 per cent below former prices. AS it has been some time since we said anything about this class of clothing will now say that we introduced this quality of goods here and sold more of it this season than ever before ac- cordingly we have a few hundred handsome walking ads, all the way from Phoenix to San Diego. This clothing can be laundried as easily and safely as muslin and always looks new. It is as cool as cheese cloth and as durable as canvass and since this cut in price of 20 per cent is little bit cheaper than clothes usually get to be. Remember we can't carry this clothing over and we are going to sell it. Call around to the store and see if we don't do just as we say.
