CHURCH DEDICATED
WITHOUT DEBT
The SWEDISH BAPTISTS OF KIRON PRE-
SENT A REMARKABLE SHOWING.
DEDICATION DAY DECEMBER 6.
Great Gathering Of Noted Ministers Of The
Swedish Baptist Denomination Of
the Central West.

Sunday, December sixth. will ever
be one of the great days for the town
of Kiron located near the Sac county
line in this county. On that date the
new Swedish Baptist church was for
mally dedicated amidst the greatest
enthusiasm. 1t was fully back in 1869
when the irst Baptist settlers of the
north part of this county organized q
church. The organization has had a
varying history. with and without q
pastor, at times divided in member
ship. but some held on and now comes
q day when the hardships of the past
are in part forgotten by the joy of
the present.
1t was but little over a year ago
that the church called from Kansas
q young pastor, in the full strength
Of his powers A. Lagerquist.
1t was understood that he came
on condition that in time q new
church would be built. He had
hardly taken off his hat before he be-
gan to make plans for the great
undertakings. He first made himself
popular with the business men of the
town, and bv the first of last year
hsd a handsome guarantee from the
business men before calling on the
church members. In the first week
In January a meeting was called and
the membership took action. Happi-
ay for the church. Rev. Lagerquist
was in his younger days a worker in
wood. and a trained mechanic. He
presented plan for church which
was ideal for the needs for the locality
and all were pleased. Contractors
were asked to estimate and bid on
the construction. The lowest bid
was over fourteen Thousand dollars.

As not over half that amount had
been pledged the outlook was discour

As not over half that amount had
been pledged the outlook was discour
aging.
In solemn council it was decided
to build the ediice by the member
ship with the pastor for superinten-
dent and the son of one of the lead
ing members. j. A. Engberg, as
foreman. Mr.. Engberg came home
from college at Ames at a sacrifice
to undertake the enterprise. 1t was
decided to pull the old church build
ing down. and one morning in May
there was an early morning prayer
meeting and then the older members
with tears in their eyes began with
hammers to pull the ediAce down
which had been their church home for
so many years. The lumber was
carefully laid by for fruther use. and
it is estimated that it was worth
$1,000.
When it came to taking out the
dirt for the foundation there was 4
great rally of men with teams and
scrapers. The dirt flew. When on
lockers saw a hole ten feet deep,
seventv-two feet long and fifty-f four
feet wide it began to dawn on them
that great undertaking was on
hand. While the down pour of rain
in the spring made some shake their
heads as the cellar filled with water.
the heroic pastor thanked God that
the ground was thus settled and the
foundations would be firm. The
masons went at the brick work with
q will and one hot dav in July,
the n,nth. the corner stone was
laid. Then the carpenters were
active. Work went on from sun
rise to sunset with enthusiasm. In
the meantime the members in charge
were holding committee meetings.
buying pews, lighting plant. furnace.
organ. furnishings. so that they
would be ready as needed. The good
pastor labored with both hand and
head. The plasterers. painters.
decorators were right after the
other workmen and by December
sixth the completed structure wat
ready for use.
AS we shall issue a special Kiror
church dedication extra to our paper
next week with illustrations we shall
not at this time 20 into complete de.
tails as to the church. Pastor Lag
erquist was able to state that tn.
building which the contractor.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-12-09

wanted over fourteen thousand dol
lars to build and would not guaran-
tee to complete before next spring
had been built for little over ten
thousand and ready for use last
week. This is a remarkable show
ing.
Most remarkable of all there was
no debt to be raised. 1t did not seem
like a church dedication at all to have
no hours spent in pleading for funds.
However. we like the Swedish Bap-
lists way the best. Some noted men
of the denomination were present
and spoke. They were great preach
ers. Among these we're Rev. Rosen
Of Sweden, Rev. Jader Of Omaha,
Rev. Johanson of Sioux City. Of
course last Sunday was great day
and one which will never be forgot
ten. The new church will hold fully
five hundred people and it was crowd
ed On Sunday evening. At the Sun
day School hour there were two ad.
dresses before the children. one in
the Swedish language by Rev. Osback
and the other in English by Mr.. Chas.
K. Meyers of Denison. During the
entire exercises of the day. Rev.
Nyquist. a former pastor. did wonders
in leading the singing. He
brought out the "Glory Song" will
fine effect. Mr.. Lawrence, the edi-
tor sang two solos with coed effect
, In the evening Rev. LaReau of Deni.
son gave a great sermon, one which
pleased the people very much. Th.
meetings continue until Sunday. Dec
ember 13. On last Sunday dinner
and supper were served to all who
wished in the big dining room in the
basement. One certainly felt en-
thused in christian work to be Will
the Swedish Baptists and to see thei
enthusiasm. We do not wish t.
write so much this week as to max
the larger write up next week re
petition so postpone particulars as t
the church until then.

CHANGES IN THE FLAG.
Proposition for Ne7c arrangement
of the Stars for States.
IFrom The Tribune Bu-eau.l

Washington. Feb 16.-Representative Timothy
Ansberry, Of Ohio, whose district contains more
old soldiers than almost any other in the country
and who is beginning to be known in Congress as
the special guardian of pensioners, has intro
duced a bill providing for change in the Ameri-
can flag. It has occurred to him that on July l.
when the new star Of Oklahoma is to be added to
the national emblem symmetrical arrangement
of the stars will be difficult because of the fact
that one line Will be out of proportion.
In the present arrangement there are seven stars
in one row and eight in another, and, according
TO Mr. lAnsberry, the addition of one star to any
of the rows would cause an evident Jack of sym
metry and palpable dIsproportion. His bill pro-
vides that 1.-The In the field OF the American
flag be arranged in five in combination, the
centres of the be the apices of regular
pentagon. The stars shall be placed uniformly IN
distance one from another, and the stars from
