tecognize the church as the same one in which we
have been accustomed to worship.

The jubilee service was opened by the Sunday-
school children, who sang “Holy,. Holy, Holy.”
The choir also rendered several selections, and a
duet was sung by students from the Seminary.
The pastor delivered the dedicatory address, bas-
ing his remarks on Luke 10, 38—42. Prof. Boec-
ler, who for years has served the congregation dur-

future. May the Lord continue to be among us
in the future as He has been in the past, and bless
the preaching of His Word, so that many others

And while we all rejoice because of the changes
which have taken place, we are the more happy he-

resting-place which remaineth for the children of
God, the Gospel of the Savior who died for sinners,
that is the Gospel which shall be preached also in
the future. And that, indeed, always has been, and
is now, the most beautiful feature of our church.

the preaching of this Word we have also recently

gained several, who are taking instructions, and

who intend to join our congregation in the near

blessing upon the work which is being done’at this
station. God grant that no one neglect it, and you
will hear from us again.

churches, mission-stations, and schools had the
pleasure of a visit from the Rey. L. A. Wisler,
a representative of the esteemed Mission Board.
Your correspondent is prepared to say that the
