CHURCH IS DEDICATED
United Evangelical Temple of Worship
Is Opened Free From Debt.
Last Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock,
with the building crowded to the
doors, Bishop William F. Heii, of
Chicago, Illinois, preached the dedi
catory sermon at the rjnited Evan
gelical Church in Dallas, The sermon
was followed by the dedication ex
ercises proper, and the keys of the
church were handed over to the local
Board of Trustees.
Haying realized the need of a
suitable edifice in which to conduct
their services, the Evangelical class
completed their plans for a new build
ing about a year ago, and carpenters
were immediately set to work to carry
out these plans. The church was
completed several weeks ago and has
been in use since it was finished, but
was not dedicated until Sunday. The
amount of collections from various
sources has entirely covered the cost
of the structure, which was about
$4900. At the Sunday service, the
collections and pledges of members
amounted to $907.
Through the courtesy of the local
pastors, morning services at the other
churches were dismissed, and all
united in the one service to worship
In that spirit of unity that should
characterize the work of all churches.
