THE REV. HENRY W. A. HANSON
Messiah Lutheran Church.
Prominent ministers and laymen of
the city will participate to-morrow
afternoon in the cornerstone laying
ceremonies of Jth new Messiah Lu
theran Church, Sixth and Forster
streets, at 3.15 o'clock. A record at
tendance is expected at the service,
which will be held in the open with
the Rev. Henry W. A. Hanson, pastor
of the church, presiding.
The Rev. Dr. J. Bradley Markward,
of Ecthlehem Lutheran Church, will
open the service with prayer and the
Rev. A. M. Stamets, of Augsburg Lu
| theran Church, will give the Scripture
| leading. This will be followed by a
. brief history of the church by Pro
fessor J. J. Br*hra. Addresses of the
, afternoon will be made by the Rev. S.
W. Herman, of Zion Lutheran Church,
and the Rev. L. C. Manges, of Me
; snotial Lutheran Church.
The cornerstone laying will follow.
In the box will be placed the contents
of the box taken from the cornerstone
of tlie old church and additional data
of the present day, including news
papers. names of national, state,
county and city officials and the his
torv of the church to the iwesent time.
The new church when completed
will have a seating capacity of 1.100.
The structure is to be of Port Deposit
granite and the exterior of the old
church will be linished with the same
stone. The old church will be remod
eled into a complete, up-to-date Sun
day school department.
The Rev. Mr. Hanson has been pas
tor or the Messiah Lutheran Church
for more than three years. In that
time the membership has increased to
more than 1,100 and the church is one
of thr largest in the city. The old
building was erected in 18S9 and some
of the most active church workers of
' the city are numbered among the con
gregation.
This activity led to big results, as
Bethlehem Lutheran Church was or
ganized partly under the direction of
Messiah members and Augsburg and
St. Matthew's Lutheran Churches were
both organized by members of Messian
j Lutheran Church.
Tht> Rev. Mr. Hanson before com-
I ing to Harrisburg was nastor of the
St. Luke's Lutheran Church, Pitts
burgh. 'While in that city a new
j church was built by his congregation
and it is said to be one of finest and
best equipped there.

HARRISBURG (£§£& TELEGRAPH
PRESBYTERIANS
RAISE $4,600,000
$10,000,000 For Aged Ministers
Nearly Half Raised in
Campaign
The Presbyterians have collected
nearlv one-half of the $10,000,000
iund "for aged and disabled ministers
and their dependents, the total having
reached $4,000,000. it was announced
yesterday. In fact, when the $750,000
legacy received from the estate of
Mrs. D. Willis James, of New York,
is forthcoming their fund will amount
to $5,350,000.
The Rev. Dr. William Hiram
Foulkes. general secretary of tho
Presbyterian Board of Ministerial Re
lief and Sustentation, who is direct
ing the money-raising campaign, an
nounced yesterday that he hopes to be
able to report a total of $6,000,000
to the next General Assembly, which
convenes at Dallas, Tex., next May.
"Our method is essentially demo
cratic," he explained. "It is to get
many gifts from many people. We
have 50,000 subscription cards at our
office, registering persons who are
paying amounts ranging from $1 to
SIO,OOO. This method brings in thou
sands of dollars in small gifts."
Doctor Foulkes spends from four to
six weeks in each important city, pre
senting the cause from the pulpits of
Presbyterian Churches, but refraining
from making a personal canvass of
wealthy men and women, already
overburdened by appeals for contribu
tions.

There Is Genuine Fascination to Be Found
in Viewing the New Dresses For Fall
You will find a sedate return to the straight line
silhouette which the average woman approves on sight.
Man y new styles have been added to a group that has already
found favorable approval. Exquisite bits of color and charming
little touches of embroidery go to make the dominating style features
of many of these clever little frocks.
Down to the very pockets there is an irresistible fascination, in
shape, in decoration and alignment.
Not all of the new dresses are serge—some of them are
developed of serge and satin and others depend for their originality
on serge and Georgette crepe, but especially smart are the new serge
frocks, all of them are very moderatelv priced, beginning at $13.50
and going to $30.00
A very fetching style is of fine quality serge trimmed with fur,
a silk cord is attached to the waist and a unique trimming of satin
buttons is used; the skirt is made in a tunic style with full lines and
is stitched in white. Price of this style is $16.50
