Rev. J. NJ. Bull presiding elder
then conducted the Dedicatory ser,
vices by calling for the trustees and
prouncing the Dedication of the
church to the service of God, the
entire congregation standing. After
a prayer and singing of Doxology,
the exercises were concluded with
the benediction by Rev Wilson Aull,
Of the Presbyterian church. Many
of the audience then took advantage
Of the opportunity to greet the
pastors who occupied the platform.
With those heretofore mentioned
there were Rev. Mr.. Leazer, Of Rush
more, Rev's G. K. Bidwell, Mr..
Muellhausen, Wilson Aull, and c. H.
Curtis of W Worthington.
The entire musical program and
arrangement was entirely in the
hands OF J. NJ. Addington, who won
himself many laurels The orchestra

The dedication services Of the new
Meth odist Episcopal church Sunday
was grand religious celebration
Of the event and the term ''Jubilet
Day" was well selected as it wal
certainly q day Of pleasure, gratitude
and jollification for this great branch
and denomination Of Gods work,
The services and exercises of the
day opened with an informal greet
ing to Mr.. Joseph w. Powell, OF
Buffalo, N. Y. Dr.. Robt Forbes, OF
Duluth, Rev. Fl. 1. Rasmus, D. D., OF
Chicago, other visiting preachers and
laymen. Tho people were greeted
at the doors by young ladies dressed
in white, wearing beautiful badges
who cordially welcomed everyone
with the hand and presented a pro-
gram and souvenir. The people
we're then escorted by the gentle
manly ushers either to Owhere groups
! of members were greeting one
another or to a seat, as desired.
Promptly at 9:40 Rev. Thos.
Hambly, pastor, announced that the
hour of opening the formal exercises
had arrived. He called to the
platform to be seated with him Rev.
W. j. Robinson, Rev. J.. NJ. Bull,
former pastors, Rev. II. I. Rasmus,
Rev. Robt Forbes, MIR. J. N. Powell,
Rev. M. Dix, Of Bigelow, Rev. W.
81. Barkeloo, Brewster, and any
others who might be present. After
usual exercises preceding church
services. Mrs. VIM. Roessler, Of St.
Paul, sang a beautiful solo. Then
followed the sermon by Rev. Mr..
Rasums using as his text 18th verse

He preached for forty-five minutes
holding the closest attention of the
entire audience, numbering about
six hundred. His sermon was one

form OF opening church service,
Miss Grace Wood sang q beautiful
solo "Peace Troubled Heart" and
Miss Mary Damon another beautiful
solo ''The Great White Thorne.'' =
Then the sermon by Rev. Robert
Forbes, D. D., of Duluth, using az
the basis or teat of his sermon all Of
the 19l Psalm. While he preached
one hour, yet his hearers were dis
appoined in the short time he spoke.
His sermon was most practical and
an uplifting one, referring to the
collection Of books which composed
the Bible, the grandest Of books yet
published. There was reading for
every one, yet to some it might be
q disappointment TO because Of their
Limitation to understand. How
the forty writer's of the sixty six
books rom different stages of life
and situated in different parts Of the
country, wrote IN the same light.
No forty men Of today could write
of the same subject and be so near
together. The entire sermon If put
in print would be an inspiration to
many. This was followed by Mr..
Powell and the reception Of pledges.
Rev. Thos. Hambly then extended
|his thanks to all the participants in
the erection of the building from
those who assisted materially to
those who extended their sympatbies
He was modest IN taking any credit
TO himself, but complimented his
predecessor Rev Carl. A. Anderson,
fof Luverne, and who sowed the seed
that resulted in the erection of such
"a magnificent church editice.
4 Mrs. Edith Palmer Putnam, of
Rushmore, read an original Dedica-
Etion Poem, which was enjoyed and
pronounced most beautiful pro-
Eduction. With her natural and
Eperfect expression and attitude, the
Epiece was made very impressive.

tire congregation throughout all the
exercises and services. 49, ~
There was one who occupied the
platform who holds a warmer spot
in the hearts of the people of Worth
ington than any other man we
know of. His face wes aglow with
sunshine and radiant with love in
the work that was in prorgess; in
fact his countenance always bears
these characteristics but on this oc.
casion were more prominent than
before. People enjoyed watching the
always pleasant smile Of that Cody
man Col. J. M. Bull. There was one
other, whose countenance depicted
enjoyment and qualification equal to
that of Col. Bulls but his face could
not convey the joy in his heart to
God and the people with whom he is
associated in the christian work.
We allude to Rev. Thomas. Hambly,
the pastor. He has labored hard
and interchangeable to accomplish the
successful carrying out Of the scenes
transpiring on this auspicious event.
Few realize the strain upon pastors
mind to arrange a program such as
was conatgne tad fog this occasion 2
and watch the work that is entrused
to his care by God and man, yet Mr..
Hambly feels more grateful to all
than words can express. In him the
church have implicit confidence,
and he is beloved by his entire
congregation, and, when he stated
that his church would help others
on a similar occasion he did not
overestimate the liberality of his
flock.
The acoustic properties are ex-
cellent. One who sat in the gallery
during tho evening and has impaired
hearing qualities states that he
could easily and clearly hear all
that was said from the rostrum.
There are many interesting details
that may have been omitted from
this writing the time being limited
to few hours to get it into type.
