dedicated last Sunday with large
crowds in attendance. Rev. DR.. Le-

creeds, not lip talk, not merely
words but action doing good practi-
cal religion. Mr. A. K. Voss of In
ternational Falls, preached at the
evening service, his sermon called
forth many favorable comments.
The members of the CONGREGATION

completed, which is a pride to the
whole community.
