M. t ac cording to previous appointment, Rev. W. Shoch of Jersey Shore preached an edifying sermon from Sol. V . 1<. His theme was : Christ is my friend. He treated his subject methodically and masterly. This was the first sermon preached in the audience chamber of the new Lutheran church to on atten tive and large number of people. '1 he speaker made some suitable allusion to this fact and as he himself had once re sided in Millheim, he was fully prepar ed to do so. Sunday morning the clouds had bro ken, the gloom of the preceding week had disappeared and the prospect for a fair day was brightening. The atmos phere was bracing and invigorating and everybody seemed to be anxious to witness the dedication as they wended their way to the church. Hy 10o'clock the main building was filled to its ut most capacity and the services were o peued according to the Liturgy of the General Synod. The choir sung an ap propriate anthem. The pastor then proceeded with the dedicatory service, assisted by the brethren present and the new church under the name of St. John's Ev. Lutheran Chinch was so) emnly dedicated to the worship of the Triune God. After the consecration Dr. Conrad, of Philadelphia, the able editor of the Lutheran Observer, preached the dedi catory sermon to a large and apprecia tive congregation. His theme was : The church through her ministers prom* uhjatiny the laic of man's hu/hest iceljnre. Byway of introduction he drew a comparison between the natural and moral world and referred particularly to utility, adaptation and taste in the erection of churches, lie emphasized the truth that in a house of God there should be a church of Christ, an effi cient ministry, active church otticers and faithful church members. He af firmed that the law of man's highest welfare was published through the fam ily, in the sphere of civilization and and moral reform. He asserted that Christianity was the only principle of reform and that without tho church neither property nor person would be safe and homes and lands would be valueless. After some pertineut re flect ions, he closed his discourse and stated the fact that a debt of SI2OO rested on the church, to be liquidated on this occasion. There had been a good deal of preconcert ion and in less than an hour the sum of $1352,50 was raised after which all present united in singing the long metre doxology— uPraise God from whom all blessings flow,'' &c. At 3 P. M. a children's meeting was held at wljich time the church was a gain crowded. Superintendent 11. E. Duck conducted the exercises Dr. and Conrad and Rev. W. Shoch addressed the children to very good purpose. The singers interspersed the programme by some soulstirring Sunday School hymns and all were pleased. At 7 o'clock, r. M. another service was held which was opened according to the order of worship adopted in Lu theran churches. Dr. Conrad then a gaiu preached. His subject was Luth er and the Reformers as Confessers of the Truth. The Confession aud the Con fessors, Luther and the Lutheran Church were magnified and the im pression made that the Lutheran Church is known by her doctrinal system rath er than by any other marks. Sufficient stress was also laid on her Liturgy and Festivals. The speaker talked one hour and a half and though 08 years of age did not seem much tired when done. The Doctor gives no uncertain sound. He has extended his acquain tance and endeared himself to tho9e who want to hear more of him and from him can be gratified through the Observer which every good Lutheran who is able to do so, ought to take. Durjng the whojs feast of dedication the choir discoursed excelleut music. Mr. Kurzenknabe, Jr., of Harrisburg, piesided at the organ with great skill, which contributed much to the iuter est of the occasion. Ills services are hereby gratefully acknowledged. The 10th of February will he long remem bered in Millheim. ST. JOHN'S EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH IS AN ACTUALI TY. Gott sei Dank ! —Mr. E. W. Mauck showed us some very fine samples of wall paper. Ed ward has a large line of samples on hand and at the lowest prices.
