NEW CHURCH IS DEDICATED.
Tionesta's New Presbyterian Church Is
Opened Willi Impressive Services
on Sunday Morning.
With Impressive yet simple ceremonies
and In the presence of an assemblage
which filled every aeat and corner In
the handsomely appointed edifice, the
new First Presbyterian church of Tio
nesta, ao recently completed, was dedi
cated to the worship and service of Al
mighty God on Sunday morning, March
13,1010. Though the skies were threat
ening all waa brightness and gladness
within and many came from a distance
to mingle their voices in praise with the
members of the congregation and to re
joice with them In the fruition of their
hopes and plans of the past year. The
services were in charge of the pastor,
Rev. Harry A. Bailey, who was assisted
by Rev. T. M. Thompson, D. D., pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Sbarps-
burg, Pa., Rev. J. F. Soberer, pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Endeavor,
Pa., Rev. S. P. Davis, pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Seneca, Pa., Rev. W.
O, Calhoun, pastor of the Tionesta Meth
odist Episcopal church, and Rev. E, L,
Monroe, pastor of the Tionesta Free
Methodist church. Tbe program as
printed wis closely followed, beginning
promptly at 11 o'clock with an organ
prelude, followed by tbe doxology by the
choir and congregation. Rev, Mr,
Scherer gave tbe invocation and Psalm
84 was read responsively by Rev. Mr.
Davis and the congregation. The choir
gaveao anthem, "I Wat Lilad," followed
by the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord
God Almighty." The announcements
were followed by the scripture reading
from 1 Cor. 3:1-15 by Rev. Mr. Calhoun,
a prayer by Rev. Mr. Monroe, and a solo,
"Blessed Are Tbey," by Mr. Francla W.
Gill. Tbe dedicatory sermon waa then
delivered by Rev, Mr. Thompson, who
chose for his theme "Christ the Sure
Foundation," as exemplified by the text
found In 1 Cor. 3:11, "For other founda
tion can no man lay thn that la laid,
which Is Jesus Christ." For forty min
utes the eloquent divine held the closest
attention of bis large audience with a
discourse which was clear and logical in
every point and couched in chasle a.id
beautiful language. After tbe singing of
the hymn "Tbe Church's One Founda
tion," tbe alatementof the building com
mittee was given, which showed the total
cost of the structure to be $14,552.08. A
debt of over $3,000.00 was practically
wiped out by voluntary contributions,
which were called for by Dr. Thompson.
Tbe "Te Deum" was recited by the pastor
and people, tbe keys of the building
were transferred to Mr. A. B. Kelly,
president of the board of trustee-", by Mr.
G. W. Robinson, chairman ot the build
ing committee, and the formal dedication
then took place, tbe pastor and people
reading tbe service responsively. After
the dedicatory prayer by tbe pastor, the
choir rendered the anthem, "Incline
Thine Ear." A hymn followed and the
beuediction closed a service which will
ever remain as a sweet memory in the
minds of all who were permitted to meet
within those hallowed walls.
The services throughout tbe balance of
tbe day were largely attended and thor
oughly enjoyable. Iu the afternoon at
3:30 a fellowship service was held in the
new church, at which hearty greetings
were giveu by the visiting ministers,
Revs. K. L. Monroe, W. O. Calhoun, S
P. Davis and J. F. Scherer. The choir
gave an anthem entitled "God So Loved
tbe World." At 6:15 p. m. Rev. Mr.
Davis occupied the pulpit of the M. E.
church, delivering a splendid sermon to
a large audience.
In the evening at 7:30 Rev. Mr. Thomp
son again occupied tbe pulpit, giving his
hearers another spiritual and intellectual
treat in a sermon founded on the subject,
"Let Us Reason Together," using as his
text Isaiah 1:18, "Come now, aud let us
reason together, saitb tbe Lord: though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as suow; though tbey be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool." As in
tbe morning service, ho admonished bis
bearers to lay bold on Jesus Christ as the
only sure foundation on which to build
their faith. Dr. Thompson's labors
throughout tbe day were very highly ap
preciated by our people and proved that
his was a master mind In the direction of
Buch services. Tbe choir rendered two
fine anthems, "Praise Ye tbe Name of
tbe Lord," and "Jesus and Shall It Ever
Be." Mr. Gill also gave a beautiful solo,
"Fear Ye Not, O Israel."
We feel that thecholr, composed of Mrs.
Suie M. Sharps, Mrs. Alice Swanson,
Miss Kate Arner, Mrs. U. A. Bailey, Miss
Katharine Osgood, Messrs. W. G. Wy
man, J. N. Bankbead, F, J. Bovard and
F. W. Gill, are entitled to more than a
passing mention. Tbe anthems and
muslo furnished were of tbe highest
class and a source of great delight to all
who attended the several services of tbe
day. In this we must remember also the
faithful accompanist and orgsnist, Miss
Elizabeth Randall, who is ever in her
place. Her accompllshmenis as a musi
cian are recognized by all and the prelude
at tbe morning service and the voluntary
In the evening were musical gems.
We gave last week a complete descrip
tion and history of the stately and beau
tiful temple of worship, but from this a
description of the great gns chandelier
was omitted, as it had uot yet arrived,
Tbe chandelier presents a handsome aud
brilliant appearance. It is of large size
and is suspended from the dome of the
beautiful skylight by brass rods 18 feet
in length and hangs 12 feet above the
Door, throwing its brilliant rays in all
directions. It is composed of antique
brass, the lustre of wbicli lends beauty to
it and at the same time filling tbe room
with a flood id' light, displaying the
beautiful architecture and adornment of
the church, which is a gem in short an
ideal church. This chandelier is the gift
of the Christian Endeayor Society of the
church.
The report of the completion and dedi
cation of this haudsome edilice would be
wholly incomplete without a word of
commendation of the part which the La
dies' Aid Society had in the work. From
the beginning tbe ladies bave evinced
great interest iu t lie work, and to the
vory end thoir ellbrts never lagged for a
moment, but all worked in perfect har
mony to bring about tbe uiHgnillcent re
suit, and wbeu they have finished It will
be found that considerably over a thous
and dollars have beeu contributed by
them toward beautifying the Interior of
tbe building, all of which was rained by
persistent, ceaseless aud splendid eudeavor,

occupied. There were special trains from
Mayburg and Nebraska, which assisted
greatly in filling the ball. Train No. 4
met with a slight accident on Thursday
at Browntown, by Ihe spreadiug of the
rails and letting tbe coach drop onto the
tiea. None of tbe passengers or train
crew were injured, but Ibeir feelings
were considerably Jolted. Tbe baggage
coach was damaged to some extent and it

Into service again. Krlbbs & Kay have
shipped tbe past week 215 bushels of fine

We are of the opinion this is tbe first con
signment of wheat exported since 180,
wben John A. Proper shipped a car load
from bia farm on German Hill. W. A.
Cribbs has completed the unloading of a
car load of salt, which is to be used on his
farm this season. While tbe venture is
purely an experiment with Mr. Kribbs, tt
is doubtless of some lasting benefit to the
land. Good results have already been at
tained wherever salt has been used as a
fertilizer. Mrs. M. Andrews departed
