Meeting at GrantsviIle. Md.

The following named committee,
appointed by the Allegany confer
ence of the Maryland Synod, Revs.
g. w. Stroup, of Bittinge~, Luther F,
Miller, of Westernport, and E. Manages,
of Oakland, met the Lutheran con
gregation of Grantsville, Md, Rev. f.
S. Johnson, D. D., of Salisbury, Pa,
pastor, on Wednesday evening, De-
cember End.
The object of the meeting was to
ask the Grantsville congregation to
come back again into the Maryland
Synod and unite with the Bittinger
charge. GrantsYille formerly belong
ed to the Accident charge, but that
charge had become so large and labo-
rious that the GrantsviIle people were
asked to unite with the Salisbury
charge of the Allegany Synod for the
time being.
The Accident charge was recently
divided, the new charge being called
Bittinger, which would now need the
Grantsville congregation.
Jennings, new and growing lum-
Der town, about half way between
Grantsville and Bittinger, will soon
become part of the Bittinger charge
and is now served by Rev. Stroup,
| Grantsville and Jennings could be
served in one day and Bittinger and
| Meadow Mountain the next.
This arrangement would leave
Friendsville to unite with the Acct
dent charge where it naturally be-
| longs and is needed
This would give each passionate four
congregations.
A vote will be taken in the near
future to decide whether Grantsville
congregation will accede to the re-
/ quest or not.
Your correspondent enjoyed the
hospitality of DR.. Lauterbaugh and
family and Mrs. Winterberg during
| his visit to Grantsville and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jonas Bittinger, of Bittinger
The new parsonage at Bittinger is
under roof and weatherboarded by
this time. Pastor Stroup expects to
occupy it about the Holidays.

The palace of God is finished. The
last touch Of the artisan is given.
Every article of furniture is in its po-
sition. 1t rises like a mountain of
snow crested with fire. This costliest,
hottest, most significant fame on earth
is to have dedication in every re-
spect worthy of it.
Out of the ivory and cedar palace of
the great king comes the triumphal
procession. The royal body-guard,
five hundred strong, is in the van.
Each giant trooper carries his colossal
golden target. The white-robed Choir
listers follow, The priests bear aloft
the nations palladium, the sacred ark.
Solomon in all his glory follows. Hear
you the antiphonal chorus in the ex-
allied strains of the twenty-fourth
Psalm?
Chorus Professional
Lift up, We gates, your heads;
And rise yourselves, ye ancient doors:
That the king OF glory may come in

"Who is he, then, the king of glory
Chorus PROFESSIONAL
Jehovah of hosts,
He is the king of Glory
The challenge is answered. Temple
gates fly open, The last barrier, the
veil to the holy of holies, is drawn
aside.
The Lord enters into his rest-he
and the ark of his strength. AS that
golden depository, shrining at once
the Diyine presence, divine mercy,
divine law, set down upon the frag-
ment of bare, natural, everlasting
rock, the chorus OF four thousand
voices, with mighty orchestral accom-
paniment, burst forth in asublime an
them of praise The king in full re-
gala, standing on his dais of burn
ished brass, spreads his hands in the
prayer of dedication, in thought, die
ton, and emotion, in every respect
worthy of the submit of the occasion.
Jehovah accepts his peoples gift.
His ineffable presence fills the place,
The affairs are kindled by the fire of
Lord-the same that consumed Abels
sacrifice, burned in the bush, lighted
fsrael's way in the wilderness, and
owned Elijah on Carmel
The meridian splendor, the golden
age of Hebrew history, is reached.
This account of the building Of the
temple gives us a very accurate idea
of the progress of the arts three thous-
and years ago. A great variety of
skilled labor was employed-in metals
precious and base; in jewels, in woods
andstone and tapestry. Bible weights
and measures are difficult to define;
but it is commonly estimated that
the value of the gold and silver gath
cred was thousand million dollars
The AGRA covered was twelve acres
About 203, 900 laborers were employed

For the temple was not merely an
architectural achievement and won
der; it was the very heart and citadel
of civic and religious life What the
Forum was to Rome, and the Acropo-
lis to Greece, Solomon's Temple was
to Israel. 1t seemed to be an evolu-
ton of national life-a fair fruit of
Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Davidic
epochs. The nation also was at its
best when in subsequent eras it was
restoring, rebuilding, or defending its
sacred fame

The dedication of the Temple marks

Solomon's dedicatory prayer is by
far the finest example of its kind eX-
tent. 1t is faultless model 1t is
elevated, comprehensive, profound,
reverent. 1t is the offering up of the
sincere desires, not of one, but of
many. 1t is a confession of the peoples
faith; a setting forth, in clear and
highly appropriate terms, of the gem
eral truths universally accepted.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-12-10

This is an example of the misuse of
good. The Temple and its service
was designed to be an instrument of
individual and national righteousness
1t was so prevented from its right use,
however, that its final destruction
was an actual blessing.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-12-10

The pre-eminence of Solomon in
the dedicatory services is worth of
mention. He is the most consequence
figure. He ofiiciates at altar and in
pnlpit. 1t is he thatpravs, consecrate's
and blesses. He is the imperial
minister to the congregation, the
kingly host to Jehovah, who becomes
that day the nations abiding Guest.

But hypocrisy and Journalism are
the inevitable consequences of ritual
ism. They are allowed to creep in
unawares when the Lords people are
off guard.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Emery, with the approval of Governor
La Toilette, has appointed U. S. Baer
as assistant dairy and food commits
sioner. He takes the place left vacant
by the recent dismissal of c. w. Sweet
ing. The salary is $1,000 year and
expenses. 1t is believed that no more
efficient or acceptable appointment for
the great and varied dairy interests OF
the state could possibly have been
made. MIR. Baer possesses in an
eminent degree the ability. special
training and experience that amply
qualify him for this position. The ap-
pointment was made solely upon his
merits, fitness and adaptibility to the
special lines of work involved, said
Commissioner Emery.
Mr.. Baer was born in ithaca, Rich
land county, of German parents and is
81 years of age. His parents now re-
side at Hartford, Dodge county. He
embarked in the dairy business in
Richland county in 1887 and entered
the wisconsin dairy school in the win
ter of 1891. He received a graduating
certificate from that institution in
1892.
In 1892 he was appointed to the po-
sition of assistant instructor in cheese
making at the wisconsin agricultural
experiment station and served the sta
ton in that capacity for five winters.
During the summer months of those
years he was personally engaged in the
manufacture of both butter and cheese
in Juneau and Richland counties. In
the spring of 1898 he had charge of the
Institutional work in dairying given
in the short courses at the Minnesota
experiment station, st. Anthony Park,
Mimi. In the spring of 1895, he was
called TO take charge of work of the
same nature at the Washington state
agricultural college, Pullman, Wash
ington. Early in the season of 1896 he
was employed by the Wisconsin State
Dairymen's association as its state
travelling cheese instructor, which posi-
ton he held until October, 1899, when
he resigned to accept the appointment
as head instructor in cheese making
at the Wisconsin experiment station,

which position he at present holds and
will resign to accept the position of
assistant dairy and food commissioner.
Mr. Baer was elected secretary of the
wisconsin Cheesemakers' association
in 1896 and continues to hold that
office.
His ability TO speak the German Ian
guage adds much to his usefulness, as
many cheese factories in the state are
operated by people who speak the Ger
man language. The law requires that the
assistant dairy and food commissioner
shall be an expert in dairy products
In the selection of Mr.. Baer, the pres
ent special needs of the commission
for an expert in cheese making were
met, the commission already having an
expert butter maker as creamery in
spector.
by ability, technical training, wide
and varied experience Mr.. Baer is pre-
emlnently qualified to perform in a
highly efficient and satisfactory man
ner the duties of the position to which
he as been appointed" said Commits
sioner Emery yesterday. He is wide

GREAT DUMPING OF AMERICAN MANU-

which could be manufactured in the
united kingdom"
Mr.. Bell asserts that the great exten-
ton of their plants by American man
ufacturers in recent years was neces-
STATED by the home demand. which
has already begun to fall off and hence
he forecasts extensive dumping of
American goods in British markets.
He says that while the total of Ameri-
can exports during the past year has
decreased 4.6 per cent. American ex-
ports to British possessions have in
creased II per cent, and this, he adds,
is a decidedly larger increase than is
shown in the statements of exports
from the united kingdom.
