IMPOSING CEREMONY Dedication cf the First Presbyterian Church of This City. Sunday, July 17, 1004, marks an eventful date in the history of the First Presbyterian church of Alliance, for on that day the beautiful iew house of worship', on Hox Butte avenue, was formally given over to the service of God through the hands of His children members of the congregation. It was a dedication in a truly religious sense. And the gentle old pastor has reason to feel that his work has been well done. Amid profusion of fragrant flowers that adorned the interior of the edifice, and with sweet attains of heavenly song, the solemn but impressive exercises of the important event began at 10:30 a. m. The church was crowded to its ut most capacity. The clergy who assisted the pastor, Rev. II. P. V. Boguo, officiate were the Rev. B. M. Long, D. D., Lincoln, the Rev. Thos. L. Sexton, D. D., Rev. C. W. Ray, Rev. G. C. Jcffers. The order of services began with the Salutation, the people standing, and the beautiful words recited were as follows: " "The Lord lilets thee and keep thee; the Lord tiinl:c Hit. fa.v to r-liine upon tlm mid lju Kruelou', unto tlieo; the Lord lift up UK I'lHintHtmtioj upon tlu-e mn( glw thee pi'Utv." The holy inspiration of tho-Do.ology, "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow," thiilled the audience and the grand old melody, that haschccicd the Christian dor age, found a welcome in the hcatts of the worshippers on this occasion. But of all the ceiemonial functions the "most touching to those present was the Invocation by the pastor, He was Visibly affected ond the vei y soul of the good old man seemed inspired, In it breathed the spirit of faith, kindness, gentleness and fervor that none could help feeling. Had Rev. Bogue's old friend, Secretary Root, who assisted so generously in the good, .work, been present he would have felt doubly proud of his acquaintance. Following the Invocation came the reading from Psalter by minister and responses by the congregation. The inspired words are so sweet that thev find a fitting place in the hearts of nil Christians and are as follows: Minister The Loid is in His lioly temple. People Let nil tuo earth Ktep Mllence be fore Him. !, Hnw timlublo aio Thy tabernacles. O, Lord ot hosts. I'. My houl loiiKeth, yea. even fiilnteth, for tlm courts of the Lord; .My heart and my Hash crletli out for the HvlnK Uod. M. I was Kind when thoj said uutoine, "Let us (to into the house of tho Lord. P. Our feet shall stand within thy uuiesO, Jerusalem, i'orudiiyin Thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather lu ll door-keeper in the lioiiso of my tJinl Uiuu to dwell in tho tents of the wicked. M, What shall I renderuulo tho l.ord for all HU benefits towaid me? P.

P.-Ami prosperity within thy palaces, M. -A rite, O, lrd, unto Thy rest, Thou and the ark of Thy strength. P. Let Thy priests he clothed with right eous, uml lot Thy saints shout for Joy, The choir then sung the beautiful hymn, "I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord." The Scriptural Lcson was read by C. W. Ray, followed with prayer by Rev. G. C. Jeffers. The visiting clergy took a deep interest in tho services and entered heattily into their parts. The Sermon was delivered by the Rev. B. M. Long of Lincoln and was indeed a masterpiece. The speaker is woll acquainted with church work, no doubt the result of' years' of labor in the Lord's vineyard, and he has the gift of oratory; this coupled with tho true ritrg of a commanding voice makes Ruv. Long a strong champion of the Lord's cause. It is well that he was present on this auspicious occasion. The beautiful church song, "O, Rest iu the Lord," was song with deep ex pression by Mr. A. J. Welch. The offertory, ''Hark, Hark, My Soul," also inspired the congregation with deep devotion. Following the Hjntence of dedication, the Rev. -Thos. L. Sexton, D. D., offered tho Dedicatory Prayer, after which the dedicatory services were concluded with Benediction. Following are the ciders of the First Presbyterian church: Dan W. Hughes, G. W. Rngnn. Trustees: W. G. Siminson, W.C. Mounts, W. 12. Zollin ger. Building committee: H. P. V, Boguc, D. W. Hughes, W. G. Simon son, W. C. Mounts, W. II, Zollinger. B. F. Gilnian treasurer. This beautiful church building was recently erected at a cost of $2,500; of this amount, ft, 600 was raised by subset iption last Sunday. This ttiumphant success is an honor to the pastor and congregation alike and a pride to the city of Alliance. Death of Mrs. Lemon. The many friends of Mrs. Sarah Lemon in this county will learn with deep sorrow of die demise of this estimable lady, wdiich took place at her Inme in this city Inst Monday afternoon between four' and five o'clock. While the relatives and intimate friends of the deceased saw evidence of decline in this frail being, thoy wore blind ed with that love which Is uppermost iu the human heart to hope that conditions were not as serious as thoy appeared, but in this they were misled, for the hour of death was fa? t approaching and the end of human existence was to Mrs. Lemon nenr at hand. The consuming disease that racked her system was not to be checked and the cancerous growth found a lodging place in her weakened body which human skill could not overcome. Last spring she went to Omaha to undergo an operation in the hope of eradicating the germ and for a while it was thought she had been suc cessful, but later the insidious form shewed itself and continued its ravages till' death relieved the patient of her sufferings. Dis solntion was peaceful and tho fnitlbof a life beyond the grave inspired the soul with a fortitude that death cannot over come. At her deathbed were her two, sons, Kverett and Claud aud wife, and sisters, the Mrs Mike and John Elmore, besides several close friends. Mrs. Sarah Lemon was born in Ocnua, W. V., July 8, 1852. She was married to Mr. Cook and to this union was born two sons, spoken ot above. Following tho death of her first husband, nine years later Mrs. Cook was united in marriage to John Lemon and came to Box., Butte county about seventeen years ago filing on a claim sf5c miles southwest of Hemingford. The deceased provud her strong force of character and endurance inkier work on the new homestead and with thophick and determination that few women could muster up, Mrs. Lemon won her way and helped her husband to make a home in the west. In 1900 Mr. Lemon died and the subject of this sketcli was again left on her own resources, but she had two willing sons who aided their mother with her burdens. In brief it can ami should be said that M". Lemon Was an ideal woman and one whose life was honor not only to her relatives but the entire county in which she was widely known and univer sally respected. 1 Deceased joined the M. K church at. Nonpateil in 18S9 and was a faithful mem ber thereof, but her religion and charity were not confined to the premises of the church door, for to all she was a friend and in almsgiving she knew no creed. The funeral took place from her home in tho east part of the city, where she has resided for several months, Wednesday morning. Rev. Kay of the M. E. church performed a short service at the home, after which the remains were conveyed to Hemingford where services were conduct ed in the church by Rev. Ray, Assisted by Rev. Burleigh and Rev. Embreo, and laid to rest beside those of her husband. This was her dying request. The pall bearers were selected from among old friends of the family at Hemingford and were the following: Ben Price. C. J. Wildy, Fred Abley, Pete Jensen, Chris Hansen and C. T.' Davison. M. E. Church Notes.
