nacle of uou is with men." After the
sermon the financial condition of the
church wns stated by tho'Bishop, who
appealed to the congregation to llqul
date tho remaining encumbrance of
twelve hundred dollars, aud before the
audience was dismissed about soven
hundred dollars wero provided for.wlth
comparatively little effort.
At 2:3U p. m., tho spacious hall was
again filled with nn Interested audi
ence, nddltionnl seats had to be provid
ed to nccommodate the Ihrorg. The
I'residlng Elder, Solomon N el 17, preach
ed a powertul and Impressive sermon,
In the German language from 2d Chron
icles 041, "Now therefore arise, O,
Lord God, Into thy resting place, thou
nnd the ark of thy strength ; let thy
pilests, O, Lord God, be clothed In snl-
vntion, nnd let thy saints rejoice In
goodness ;" which was highly appreci
ated, nnd hli eloquent and oratorical
style was very much admired ; after
which, a few remarks bj the Bishop
were made in tbe Kngllsh language,
nnd he once more called the attention
of tho congregation to the necessity and
propriety ol adjusting the entire enuura
brnnce, before tho dedication could
properly take place, and in a short time
tho debt was provided for by collections
and subscriptions, with cheerful hearts
nnd smiling faces. It seemed as If
everybody was pleased with tho suc
cess. The preachers of the Evangelical
Association, who added considerably to
tht'AUccessand participated klndlyin the
exercises, on tlie occasion, were
I Yeakel, ot Mauch Chunk ; J K.
Knerr, of Welssport, and S. Breyfogel,
of Parryvlllo. Rev. J. Carrinston,
minister of tho rresbyterlan church, of
Lehlghton, had kindly suspended his
scvlces, nnd participated' In the exer
cises the entire day ; also Rev. L.
Brown, of the M. K. church, of this
placo, was present in the afternoon.
and manifested an Interest in the pros
prosperity of the Lord's cause.
Notwithstanding the threatening
showers in the evening tbe church was
occupied to its full capacity, to hear the
English sermon to be preached by the
Bishop. At the opening of the evening
vxercUes the various gifts bestowed to
the church were'kindly acknowledged,
and the sincere thanks of the members
feelingly expressed, and gratitude ren
dered to thu generous donors by the
Bishop, after which tlie dedication prop
er was performed by tho officiating
Bishop, and the dedicatory prayer of
fered by thn pastor, Rev. J. C. Bllern.
The sermon delivered from Psalm BO r
1516, was an efficient, Impressive and
appropriate one, and edifying to all.
After the sermon, Rev. i. Carringtou
offered the communion prayer with
considerable zeal and unction ; after
which the dying agonies and sufferings
of our Lord Jesus Christ wns solemnly
celebrated by the congregation, compos
ed of believers from different persua
blons. In conclusion the spirited hymn
"All hail the power of Jesus' name"
was sung twice by tho congregation,
with a whole-soul volition of heart. Tbe.
benediction was pronounced by the
Bishop and the congregation dismissed.
Every ono seemed to have been pleased
with tho result, and happy on their
way rejoicing for wbat tbe Lord had
done. Thus closed a great day of suc
cess, long to be remembered. J.c.n.
