The rededicatory services following H

able and popular pastor, Dr. Truxal,
delivered a sermon on joy and praise
and recited some of his extensive
connection with the repairing and the
liquidating of church debts, The
choir backed by the $3,000 new pipe
organ sang some inspiring selections.

Dr. Truxal then made the follow-
ing statement, namely, that the cost
of the improvements that had been
made including an old debt of $1,400,
the erection of. the Sunday schobl
and social building and the remodel-
ing of the church amounted to $20,064.
Provision for the payment of ths or-
gan and carpet, costing $3,664, had
been made by the You Peoples
Guild and the Ladies Ai Society.
The balance of the indebtedness had
also been met with the exception of
about $4,000 and that sum was to be
provided for at this meeting. Dr.
Bowman called attention to the seri-
ousness of making offerings to the
church, stating, that it ought to be
regarded as an act of worship and
therefore ought to be done prayerful-
ly and he requested that the congre-
gation engage a few moments in
silent prayer. This was done. Dr.
Truxal then called seversl men to
the front to act as solicitors of pledges
He stated that fifteen persons ought
to be secured to give $100 each
When the iigi presented themselves
he requested théin bo canvass Shem-
selves first of all. They responded by
each one pledging $130. They then
ina comparatively short time setured
the other eight to contribute a like
sum. Lower amounts were thé of-
fered until the sum of $2,640 had been
secured. The congregation was then
dismissed.
Some soliciting was done in the
afternoon by personal call: Among
others W. H. Stotler, W. H. Deeter,
W. H.- Kretchman and E. C. Kyle
took a run into Brothersvalley town-
ship and secured $25 each from the
