SeIflSSS LUZ WHICH
beautiful tables and chairs were pre-
sented by S. A. Lorenz, were conducted
by the pastor, assisted by the attend
ant pastors of the city. The new indi-
Vidual communion set was used for
the first time at that hour. The chill
dren's meeting was very satisfactory
and the attendance was good. Short
talks were made by Mrs. Will Hill Of
the NJ E. church, Mrs. Ellis of the
Baptist church, and Rev. J. e. Wilson lss
of the Presbyterian church. The.
Young Peoples meeting at $50 o'clock
was was conducted by Mrs. Alice M.
Wickizer and the main address was
given by DR.. G. l.. Stafford, pastor Of
the Methodist Episcopal church. The
new structure is beautiful and is a de-
light not only to the congregation but
to the citizens at large. The work
done by the fresco artist could not be
finer and the soft blending Of colors
in the domes sheds a mellow light over
the balconies and auditorium which is
very pleasing to the eye. On Monday
evening the meeting was addressed by
D. F. Dewey, of Des Moines, state Sec
rotary of the Christian church. Dur
ing the next two weeks revival services
will be conducted by the pastor and
Prof. Chas. Altheride will have charge
of the song services.
