Swansea Church Dedicated.

The recent dedication of the Luth-

Swansea was an event of unusual i'm
portance to the loyal band Of Luth-
erans who compose its membership.
The congregation was organized in
1911 by Rev. W. B. Aull, who con-
tinues to serve them. One remarkable
feature about the building of the
church is the fact that it is the SELF
sacrificing work of nine Lutherans, for
this number comprises the entire men,
bership. They contributed 81 800 to-
wards the church, which cost $1,000,
and in order that the church might
be dedicated at once they assumed
the balance as individuals until fur
ther plans could be made for it's liqui-
dation. The church is a substantial
frame edifce. lis location within the
borders of a large Lutheran consti-
tuency is the part of wisdom of those
who are looking to the future in the
increase of population which the de-
velopment of the town and the sur
rounding country will bring.
