magnificent though not war. How
ever. the taking Of the hill seems to

TO have been as wise as it was cour-
ageous.
The two questions which are most
thoroughly agitating the prophets at
present concern the Russian fleet in
Port Arthur and Kuropatkin's report
ed attempt TO raise a siege OF that
town.

line to Port Arthur will the Russian

this run would be the destruction Of
the Russians. but also the severe Grip

would open the way for the Battle

Church Dedicated.

Yeste ,tlav morning the new Congre-
gational church was dedicated in the
presence of a large congregation, num-
bering over seven hundred people.
No services were held at several other
churches of the citv and these con
gregations attended the service at the
new church.
President Slocomb of the Colorado
College at Colorado Springs. delivered
the dedioatory sermon. 1t was a
spl plendid discourse, ably delivered
and truly appropriate for the solemn
occason.
The song service was very beauti-
full, Miss DeLaMatyr operating the
pipe organ and Mrs. Cullon the piano,
and an excellent choir of mixed voices
! assisted in the service.
During the hour funds to liquidate
the indebtedness standing against the
new church were raised. The con
tributions were readily made and very
liberal. The subscriptions raised
amounted to $16S0 and then at the
evening service $40 additional was
raised. This handsome sum more than
covers tile Indebtedness. Several con
tributious of 5000 each were made.
The new Congregational church
stands today as one of the -handsomest,
most conveniently arranged church
edifices in western Colorado. The
large auditorium has a seating capac-
| ity of over 500. the balcony will seat
300, making a combined seating capa-
city of 800. The church is magnifi-
ciently furnished. The large base
ment has ample apartments embracing
study, reading rooms and gymnas-
ium. The church has a pipe organ
installed at cost OF $4,000
The new church was erected at a
cost of between $40. 900 ard $12, coo, 1t
has been in course of erection about
ten months. and is now complete in
almost every detail.
Rev. Becker and his congregation
worked faithfully to secure the new
church and they are to be congratu-
lated upon the complete success that S
