some difference of opinion as to the size of
the audience. Mr. Bannerman also states
ethat he was on the negative side in the
debate and not, the affirmative as previously
reported. It is apparently not a matter
that will alter the destinies of many peoPle
which ever way it is decided, but as we are
always desirous of reporting things correct-

monument to the liberality of the people of
our village and vicinity, who have given so
unsparingly of their means to erect such a
beautiful and substantial edifice in which to
°worship the God who has showered on them,
so many blessings. The dedication sermon
was preached in German, by Bishop S. C.
Breylogel, of Reading, Pennsylvania. The
service at 2 p. m. was well attended, every
seat in the church being occupied, and stand-
ing room was at a premium. The service
was conducted by the Bishop, in English,
who delivered an earnest and forcible ser-
mon, from the 2nd verse of the 48th Psalm ;-
maintaining his reputation as one of the
fiuest preachers on the continent. At the
conclusion of his discourse he stated that
the church had cost about $11,000 in cash.
Cc/hinting all the free work that was done the
property was worth 513,000 and to cheer up
the large audience he wag happy to say that
