brary is magnificent and who had the
courage once at the opera to confess
that the datribe of Fricho in the
"Wakyries' bored him stiff, yet at the
Academy he invariably says. "Now tell

Fancy telling him what books he
should admire. Think of the express
sion his face would assume were you
to tell him that the shepherds cal

He would quite rightly tell YOU to go
hence. He is capable of judging
these points for himself; but upon
art matters this graduate of Harvard
and successful practitioner of law pulls
down the blinds and does not think.
Dr. Valentiner's simplicity ought TO
help correct this curious attitude Of
ours. He is unafraid of deep subjects,
and speaking from the heart in regard
to them he assists us to discover our
own thought.
A marvellous trait is that he doesn't
insist upon dates, although he knows
them all. That is perhaps now that
l think of it. the quality that endeared
him at once to all Of us. Dates are
unbearabe in art discuss ons and fu-
tile since the new scientific methods
of art criticism have attained n

RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS OF THE CITY OF PENNINGTON

1910, and a beautiful parsonage
was also built for the resident
of the pastor at cost of about
$1,000.
The first pastor was Rev.
James F. Baker, one of the char
ter members of which there
were ten.
The congregation, though
small in the beginning, grew by
leaps and bounds, and its small
membership, by regular addition
and with the development and
growth of the city and surround
ing country, soon grew to such
size that the old home of wor-
ship was too small to meet the
requirements.
At present the church is in a
thrifty condition, having
splendid house of worship and
beautiful parsonage adjoining
where lives Rev. 0. H. l.. Cum
ningham, the present popular
pastor. The membership at this
time is 239. There are two So
cities working in conjunction
with the church: the Ladies'
Aid and Missionary Society, be-
sides a regularly organized Sun
day school class with about 140
attendants, of which Prof. w. L.
Johns is the incoming superin-
tendent. Miss Maggie Menge is
chief official of the Ladies' Aid.
The church under the present
pastor is progressing nicely and
doing a splendid work in mold
ing the maturing man and wo-
manhood of the community by
exercising splendid Christian
influence on the generation who
will conduct affairs in the near
future.

building was erected at a cost
of $1,000. This building was
used until the present commod-
ious house of worship was built

At each successive change the

proportions as to necessitate
larger quarters to accommodate
the rapidly growing congrega-
ton.
Rev. F. M. Shoush was the
pastor when the new frame
building was erected in 1892
and was the principal moving
spirit who inspired the congre-
