The clergy of many denominations were represented at the | service, in which a number of leading | divines took part and which was im- pressive. Under the direction of Organist R. D. | Burness a special musical programme | was rendered by an augmented chuir.l which included Mrs. Cecil Mark, Miss | Gertrude Wheeler, Frank Onslow and | Alexander Mennie. The dedication service opened with: an organ prelude and was followed by the recital of the Doxology. Rev. W.| K.

Bell led in singing Hymn 304, and a selection of | Solomon’s Prayer was read by Rev.| William Rader, the Congregational minister. Rev. F. W. Clampatt, rector | of Trinity Episcopal Church, recited | the Apostles’ Creed, after which Hymn 676 was sung by the congregation, led | by Rev. George G. Eldredge. For the offertory the choir rendered the hymn “Except the Lord Build the House,” and the dedicatory sermon was then delivered by Rev. John Hemphill, | rector of Calvary Presbyterian Church. SERMON BY PASTOR. In addressing the congregation the pastor of the new house of worship in part said: In the fourth chapter of John, twenty-first verse, we find the words: ‘Jesus saith unto the woman, believe me,, the hour cometh when Jerusalem_ worship the Father.” The Hebrews worshiped God in tabernacles and temples, but the Lord lifted the worship out of local surroundings and made it univer- eal. Abraham built an altar on Mount Moriah to the glory of God, and Isaac and Jacob also erected altars to God. Jacob erected an altar at Bethel and he said, *“This is the house of the Lord.” Moses heard the voice saying to him, ‘“‘Put off thy shoes, for the place where thou stand- eth is holy,”” and he realized the presence of the Lord. In the erection of Solomon's Temple a whole nation poured forth its wealth to build ‘the house oi the Lori. Monarchs taxed their sub. jects and 21l rendered tribute to help in build- ing_the house of worship. The temple was built in silence, because God was to dwell there. There was no sound of ax or hammer, for the temple was to be a glorious structure, not in its dome and pin- pacles nor its pillars of cedar nor its furni- ture and fine fittings and gold altars, but in | the great presence due to the Lord’s way. The | glory of the Lord filled the house of God and We read that the priests could not remain in the sacred cloud hovered the temple when over the building. What a vast difference there is in the mes- ssge that Christ gave to the woman at the | well, “‘Ye shall neither in this mountain, nor | yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.” ITS PURPOSE IS GLORIOUS. We are mot sure of the identity of any of the places connected with Christ and most of the places pointed out by guides are false. This house of worship has no glory in itself. It is its purpose that renders it glori- ous. Our churches might be the .most beauti- ful on earth, yet be as Sclomon's Tempie was without the presence of the Lord. It is the presence of Christ that gives glory to all and makes worshipers independent of all agencies. s church without Christ is ifke a lamp with- out wick or ofl. The church must have the presence of Christ to represent truth and love, $0 that it may warm and Invigorate living Christianity. Christ must be in the head and heart of all true Christians in order to think and live. Christ is the glory of the church. * | titul I believe in the dedication of churches and in consecrations of churches, and I aiso be- lieve in the consecration of every stone in the church, not the stone hewn by the man, but those hewn by God. The d into the Ilikeness of Christ; nsecration I believe In. We have here to-day ministers of Christian denominatione taking part in this ervice, for we love all that love Christ and s ‘gflm;‘niize them as regiments in the army We ha: no right to draw a little circle and say we represent the King in Heaven. The only circle we have the right to draw is one of boundless diameter, one which consti- tutes God's own love, CHILDREN OF ONE FATHER. That circle is far reaching and cannot be asured even as Jesus sald to the woman at well, “‘Ye shall neither'in this mountain, yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.”" hether you worship God here or in Jerusa- if you worship God In spirit and truth, ize you and love you as children of ommon Fatker 1 believe in making a house of worship beau- and to blazon its windows with gold and crimson, for it is the purpose of the church that gives its glory, for Christ has made it so. It was the word of Christ to the woman at the well that made the spot a holy one, and of all places where God is worshiped we prize this bullding, but we depend on it for nothing for the essential portion of our church. existed before we had a bullding. It is not the building that consecrates the worship held in it, but it is the worship that conse- crates the bullding. We dedicate this church to the worship of God and to elevate that worship there must be no divorce between the worship and the work of men. The man that worships in the saictuary and then goes to his business or home and does not follow out the teachings of Christ in.his daily work is a scoundrel and a sample of pagan. God cannot be confined to temples made by the hand of man. If a man is truly a ser- vant of God, then all his life belongs to the Lord, no matter where he may be. . Lei this ever bg the house of prayer, of adoration and thanksgiving to God, to teach all to carry God's teachings into ali walks of e. We thank God for the history of this church, which enables us to celebrate Its jubilee. Let us so do our work that the day wiil come when all churches will be merged and that the tem- ple of the he shall .be crowned Lord of A BISHOP GIVES BENEDICTION. Following the sermon, the prayer of dedication was delivered by the Rev. J. 8. Maclntosh, followed by the sing- ing of hymn No. 139, led by the Rev. J. George Gibson, the Baptist minister. Bishop J. W. Hamilton of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church prenounced the benediction and the services concluded with an organ postlude. Although the dedication service of Calvary Presbyterian Church was held yesterday, the sacred edifice has been used for worship for nearly a year. The congregation of Calvary Church first erected its house of worship on Bush street, between Montgomery and Sansome, the building being dedicated on February 14, 1855. From the first location, the congregation moved to the corner of Powell and Geary streets, the church at that spot being dedicated on May 16, 1869. The site where the first church of the Cal- vary congregation stood cn Bush street is now occupied by the general offices of the telephone company, while its second location, on Geary and Powell streets, was secured for the new Hotel St. Francis. ¢ OFFICERS OF THE CHURCH.

The morning service was one of song, and a sermon was delivered by Bishop | Hamilton, who spoke of the Christian | achievements of the present century. He told of the great aim of the gospel which sin had divided and depressed. | ‘The first great achievement, said the | Bishop, was the missionary movement, the second was the emancipation of the slave race, the third the manumission of other oppressed classes aftd fourth the brotherhood of all peoples and per- | sons. ““The rapidly increasing growth of the | Christian church,” said Bishop Hamil- | | | nations, but among all pagan peoples since the missionary movement began. During the last three-quarters of a cen- | tury there have been more than 1,000,000 converts to the Christian faith in pagan lands, which is equivalent to the achievement of the first five Christian centuries.” It was a{nounced that the church building is free of debt and that there is only $2000 to be paid on the land. During the morning a voluntary offer- | ing was made amounting to $1500. | At the afternoon service members | from various choirs augmented the| Hamilton Church choir, and among those that took part in the service be- sides Bishop Hamilton were the Rev. G. W. White, D. D., presiding elder; | Dr. Matthews, the Rev. Mr. Keast and | the Rev. C. O. Oxnam, the pastor. oo SPECIAL MUSIC AT TRINITY. Monthly Programme Is Rendered by Specially Reinforeed Choir. The regular monthly musical ser- vice at Trinity Episcopal Church at- tracted a large assemblage of wor- shipers to .the sacred edifice last night. The programme was one of the best that has been rendered at the church for many months. The choir was specially reinforced for the occasion and was under the able di- rection of Louis E. Eaton. Rev. Dr. Clampett, the pastor, de- livered a short sermon during the in- termission. Dr. Clampett took for his text, “Divine Inspirations.” During the course of his remarks he took oc- casion to refer to the work of the great masters in poetry, fiction, art and science and said that in his opin- ion thé geniuses of every age were inspired divinely and that some of their works or sayings upheld this theme. He dwelt upon the work of Shakespeare and Dante, particularly, and quoted these two as examples of divine inspiration. Following is the musical programme rendered by the choir: Processional, hymn 500 (Parker) ;Apostles' Creed; ; “Gallia” (Gounod), n a solo, Mr. ary” (Spohr), barytone E Waited for the Lord,” from “Hymn APPENDICITIS 1S CONTAGIOLS Wiseonsin Physician Says He‘ Has Discovered the Disease | Is of Microbie Originl PO Sz SO HAS BECOME AN EPIDEMIC | pl i A e B Transfer of Germs, He De-| clares, Accounts for Its Prev-| alence in This Country | Sweet sleep comes to the baby who is properly fed with a proper food.

Dr. Sheldon says the disease is of microbic origin, and the only rational explanation of it is that it is the result of a germ that can be transferred. The prevalence of the disease, he be- lieves, substantiates his theory. Dr. Sheldon says there is an epidemic of appendicitis in this country. e Different Pickups.
