More than six hundred gathered
in the Baptist church on Broad
street yesterday morning to attend
the dedication service, consecrating
the magnificent new organ, that has
just been installed. Tho main
feature of the service was the ded!.
cation sermon by Rev. Earle "
Pierce, ID d., pastor OF the Central
Baptist church in Minneapolis. The
prayer Of dedication was delivered
by the pastor of the local church.
Rev. r. w. Hobbs. A prayer was
also led by Rev. c. A. Lindahl, pastor
OF the Scandinavian Baptist church.
Several beautiful and appropriate Sc
lections were sung by the choir, con-
sisting OF Miss Barbara Mansfield.

throughout the service.

Significance of the Church Building" =,
was In part as follows:
Renew tho Dedication.
I'VE are here today to renew the
dedication of this house of God with
all It's enlarged facilities. Let us
seek to understand the central sig.
nificance Of our act by asking anew
what this house is for
at shall be a house OF praise. as
praise. shall be OF God and shall
lift men up to the consciousness OF
his presence. To this end tho new
organ Is to be dedicated, II IL Is to
be a power and not an imperti-
nence. Too often music OF our
churches Is "a concert function, and
not the wings OF worship. Not
even Is 1t enough to. have noble
music produce solemn feelings of
awe This Is not worship, but only
the steps to worship. Worship does
not begin till the soul of man sees
and adores the face of God, and
surrenders In obedience 10 Him.
May the organists of this church
have the spirit of Bach, who was
as much OF prophet as musician.
The church is to be house OF
prayer. where through the open
door of Gods word, His presence and
His power are found. II Is to be a
house in which to win men. But
this is but the acted prayer, Thy
kingdom come.
Christ brought together the pro-
phetic words of Isaiah and the con-
demnatory words of jeremiah: My
house shall be called a house, of
prayer, but We have made It den
OF robbers. The den is not the
place where the robbing Is done,
hut where the robbers go for safety
The charge OF Christ was not SO
much that the traffiking in the
temple 6efiled 1t. as that the cruel
and covetous Pharisees and Sad
ducees who devoured widows
houses, for a pretense made long
prayers, and sought to hide their
rascality under the cloak of religion.
Mas that charge ever been justified
since that day? II we were to be-
lieve some critics OF the church
there has never been time when
1t was not true. and never so true
as today. It has been true enough
to justify Indictment again and
again. and the church is wise when
she is the first to recognize this.
But II has not been as true as
men wild against the church seek to
charge. There Is a difference
between a wise surgeon and but
cher. Nothing could be farther from
the truth than that the money OF

you find tenderness and beauty, the
plaintive cry Of a struggling heart,
a love OF truth and freedom and a
strength which reminds you of the
strength 'cf the rugged hills of

Worth Of the Church.
What better proof Of the real
worth of the church than that the
unworthy try often to simulate its
virtues? Do men break into an
empty bank? The church of Christ's
day had its lSlmeons and Josepns

he had the scourge OF cords. The
