With sorvlcos appropriate to the
occasion tho splendid new Luheran
church building was dedicated to tho
worship of God Sunday morning nt
10:30 o'clock. As was expected the
church was crowded with momberB
and frlonds. Tho chancol was lieau
tifully decorated with palms, ferns
and lllllos whllo two great baquotB of
lilies, carnations and roses adorned
the aUir.
Tho dedicatory twrnion was preach
ed by Dr. C. D. Bnltzly. of Omaha,
pastor of the lorgot English Luth
eran church In the world, who chojio
as his text, Isalnh Gth chapter, "Tho
Vision of Isaiah." It waB a truly
wondorful appeal for ronowed cor.
Becrntlon and service nnd lead up in
n splendid manner to tho groat dedi
catory offering.
Tho question In minds of mem
bers and pastor was "Can we realize
our dream and dedicate free from
dobt?" When pledges wore called
for by tho Rev. Dr. Baltzly. they fairly
rained in and when the final count
was made it was found that $!i0.000"
had boon either pledged or given out
right in cash, thus making It possible
lor tho pastor to proceed with the
dedicatory servlco knowing that all
obligations wero provided for. Truly
it was a wonderful response of a con
secrated people.
In tho ovonlng tho Uov. Dr. ('. II.
Ilarman. fonnor pastor, but now of
Omaha, brought a message on "Tho
Work of God in tho Work of tho
Church." It was inspiring, and his
many friends rejoiced to see and hear
hm again.
At both these services the choir
rendered splendid music, in the morn
ing Mrs. A. F. Tramp sang "Open the
Gatos of the Tomple" as pre-proces-sional
solo, nnd tho choir- rendering
"Break Forth in Joy." and tho "Hal
lelujah Chorus." Mrs. Leo Boy
Knuisc presided ut tho organ and
pleased tho congregation with her
preludes, offertories and postludos.
Thp members of tlje church wish to
express their appreciation to the
frlonds of the church who hnvo so
courteously and gonerously helped
and served them during the building
operations and again on tho Feast of
'tho Dedication.
