tt Eealization of its long-cherished dream of the day that it-might occupy a thoroly modern and beautiful church edifice will come to the congregation of Trinity Baptist church this morn ing when it formally dedicates its handsome new house of worship, corner Nineteenth street and Bryant avenue S. Impressive services, in which special music will be prominently featured, will mark the consecration of the new building. Rev. E. E. Chivers, field sec retary of the American Baptist Home Mission society will deliver the dedi catory sermon, and Rev. O. A. Williams will offer prayer. The dedicatory hymn, written for the occasion by Rev. Lathan A. Crandall, the pastor, will be sung during the morning, together with oth er appropriate numbers. In the evening, Rev. Cornelius Woelf kin, superintendent of Baptist evan gelistic work, will occupy the pulpit. During this service, too, beautiful mu sic will be heard and the day's cere monies will be fittingly ended with an oigan postlude. Services This Week. Special services will be held in the new church during the week. Monday evening will be devoted to a "fellow ship service," at which addresses will be delivered by pastors of other local churches. An organ recital, conducted by Professor H. S. Woodruff, will oc cupy Tuesday evening. Baptist greet ings from the pastors of other Baptist churches of the city will be offered in a special service Wednesday evening, and a service of thanksgiving and con secration will be held Thursday even ing. I is fitting that such a great work should be completed so near the Thanks giving time Rev. Lathan A. Crandall, the proud pastor of the Trinity Bap tist church, who worked so tirelessly to make possible the new edifice, and ar ranged an auspicious program for its dedication, passed one of the happiest Thanksgiving days of his life when he viewed the handsome results of his la bor and the devotion of his flock. Handsome and Commodious. The new church is both handsome and commodious. Every vestige of its space has been utilized beneficially, and all-in-all its arrangement is ideally suit ed to the requirements of the congre gation. Room is plenty for the con tinued steady growth of the congrega tion, and inducements for this growth sre there in numbers. The dedicatory services today will open one of Minneapolis' finest church buildings. The dedicatory programs follow: i Sunday, 10:45 A.M. Organ prelude. Doxology. I Invocation. I Responsive reading.

Chi- CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOR CONVENTION SOUGHT Kansas City, Los Angeles, Seattle, {Minneapoliswhich All of these cities want the 1907 Christian Endeavor convention, and the placing of it will not be decided until the trustees of the United society meet in Boston in February, but it is be lieved that, from a geographical stand point, the plum strategically and logi cally belongs to Minneapolis. The gen eral conditions in Minneapolis favor the bringing of the convention here. The treasurer of the World's union, William Shaw of Boston, comes to Min nesota next week particularly to be with the local union on Friday evening. Wednesday evening.he will be in Will mar, Thursday in Redwood Falls, and he returns to Minneapolis on Friday to be entertained by the Commercial club at a 1 o'clock luncheon and to meet with the city union of Christian Endeavor at a banquet at the First Congrega tional church at 6:30, after which he will address a mass meeting in the au ditorium of the same church. The entire executive committee of the St. Paul union will attend the ban quet, and will be followed for the mass meeting by two chartered carloads of fellow workers. The occasion of the banquet is the semi-annual meeting of the city union. The business will be disposed of very expeditiously in order to give as mucn time as possible to Mr. Shaw and the message that he will bring. One fea ture, nowever, that will have free course will be in connection with the forming of an alumni organization, an association to include all the "veter ans"to use the words of an active workerwho can be interested. It is believed that such a company will be of untold help in handling the great convention that Minneapolis is looking forward to. Tickets to the .banquet are 50 cents, and may be had of W. V. Haight, D. E, Loomis, and at a meet ing of the local society presidents at the Y. M. C. A. hall next Wedn|sday evening. There will be 350 plates laid, and when that number of ticket has been disposed of the sale will close. The city pastors are particularly invited. Pulpit and Pew. Evangelistic services at tho First Baptist church continued thru/ut last week with increasing interest. Today will be a great rallv day at the church. In the morning at'the ciose of the serv ice the hand of formal welcome will be extended to some thirty or forty new members. In the evening Pastor W. B. Riley will speak on the subject "Play ing the Fool." The ordinance of bap tism will be extended to many now waiting. At Bethlehem Lutheran church the John W.

HIGGINS. Minneapolis Young Woman Will Soothe Feverish Brows of Sick WoocTsmen as "Lumbermen's Missionary," and Assistant to "The Lumber-Jack Sky Pilot"Well Fitted for New Duty. MISS RUTH OLNEY, The "Lumbermen's Missionary. f ::'f':f, :f-/ o: :::tT:f:y.c.i. Miss Ruth Olney, 306 University ave nue SE, leaves Dec. 4 for Bemidji to engage in work which has no counter part in state or country. Rev. F. E. Higgins, whose methods are as original as they are effective, and whose work as "The Lumbermen's Sky Pilot" has attracted the attention of the great northwest, has engaged Miss Olney to visit sick or injured lumbermen in the hospitals at Bemidji, Keller, Walker, Cass Lake, Blackduck and possibly Duluth. Her headquarters will be at the Markham hotel, Bemidji, and she will make the rounds every week. The five men in charge of districts organized by Rev. Higgins in the lumber region will report to Miss Olney every case sent to the hospitals, so that no time may be lost. "Lumbermen's Missionary.' The title upon her white ribbon badge will be "Lumbermen's Missionary*" but she is not to be in any sense their spiritual adviser, and religious instruc tion wilL not be attempted. Perhaps the title of "visiting nurse" would better describe the nature of her work. It will include the writing of letters for the men, reading to them, taking them flowers, fruit and miscellaneous reading matter, as the cases may de mand but above all, it will include the creation of that indefinable atmosphere of friendly interest that even the best hospitals lack, of necessity. These five hospitals are all under Roman Catholic auspices and are said to be unusually good. The Sisters have co-operated with Rev. Higgins in his efforts to assist lumbermen in their hospitals, and will welcome this innovation. Miss Olney's ministrations will be confined to the winter months what her work will mean to the men only those may know who have been ill away from home and friends. Of New England Stock. Miss Olney is of New England stock, tho born in Norfolk, Neb. She has spent most of her life there. She gradu ated from Norfolk high school and at tended the state university at Lincoln, leaving before graduation to spend three years in teaching. The family removed to Cincinnati in 1879, and about three years ago came to Minne apolis to live. Miss Olney has spent sixteen months in California and has been a frequent visitor in Connecticut where her parents were born. She is a member of the First Congregational church of this city and has been the efficient chairman of the lookout com mittee of their Christian Endeavor so ciety. Recently she was elected to the same office in the Christian Endeavor City union. Evidently the New England strain in the blood still enables its possessors to do pioneering, tho in this case of so mild a type that Miss Olney's heroic ancestors might have deemed the term misapplied. Success will go with her. That goes without saying. VANDERBURGH MEMORIALRev. W. O. Wallace Morning. "Baptism" evening, "The Journey to Heaven." Strangers wel come at any or all of the services.

Q. S. and JN S. Pillsbury, is to be known as Pillsbury house. A bill iard-room and game and reading-rooms will be provided in a high, sunny base ment at the south end of the building, which is to be constructed at Sixteenth avenue S and Fourth street. This will be easily accessible from the street and' every effort will be made to make it' attractive to the men and boys of the' neighborhood. The'grounds about the1 building will provide ample room for playgrounds. For some weeks Mespfs. Bertrand & Chamberlin, architects, with a building committee, consisting of Messrs. J. R. Kingman, N. F. Hawley and Miss Hale, have been' at work on the plans, which are not yet wholly complete. The build ing as outlined will be 100 feet in length on Sixteenth avenue by 50 feet on Fourth street. Arrangements Excellent. The plans call for an auditorium on the ground floor capable of seating from 200 to 250 persons, which will be used for Sunday school purposes as well as for public lectures and entertainments, while the small but well equipped stage will give an opportunity for local ama teur entertainments. Upon the same floor will be two good-sized kinder garten rooms with club rooms adjoining. On the second floor will be the cookin'g school and on the sunny southeast cor ner of the building a day nursery, with accommodations for upwards of thirty small children who can be cared for thru the day. The gymnasium will also be on this floor and will be thoroly equipped and contain.' abundant lockers, shower baths, etc. On the southwest corner of the second floor will be the parlor, dining-room and kitchen for use by the residents at the house, while the third floor will provide some eight or ten residents' bedrooms. It is expected to break ground at the earliest possible moment the spring and to have the building completed and ready for occupancy with the opening of the fall work. The Movement's Inception. The movement for a new settlement building in which to, house the work heretofore carried pnby Bethel settle ment \%as inaugurated' at an informal meeting of friends of* the J-work, at which were represented Plymouth, Park and the First Congregational churches, held at Plymouth church on April 7 last A call was issued on the fol lowing Sunday morning for a larger meeting to consider the matter. On the afjternoon of that day Mayor D. P. Jones was visited by Charles S. and John S. Pillsbury, whose father had given the land for the old building and whose family has always been interest ed in the work. They suggested that they themselves would be pleased to. give the money necessary to build and equip a new plant which should be erected as a memorial to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Pillsbury. The sum of $40,000 was named as likely to furnish the work with a suit able site and building. One stipulation only was attached to the offer of the Messrs. Pillsburythat there should be raised the sum of $20,Q00, the income therefrom to be used for the proper maintenance of the building. Needless to say, Plymouth church immediately undertook the work of fulfilling this condition, and by June 1 the entire sum was pledged. A new corporation known as the So cial Settlement association of Minne apolis was organized for the purpose of holding the property and acting as trustees of the endowment fund. This corporation consists of D. P. Jones, president Charles S. and John S. Pills bury Benjamin P. Woodworth, treas urer N. F. Hawley, Miss Mary T. Hale and J. R. Kingman. Some difficulty was experienced in selecting and ob taining a proper site for the building. The work in the future, as in the past, will be maintained by the three leading Congregational churches, Park Avenue, Plymouth and the First. SERVICES IN LOCAL CHURCHES TODAY nOIANUELRev. C. J.

Schvoedel of St. Pan1 WIL MAK E THRE E Eighteen Years of Work^ ADDRESSES TODAY For eighteen years the Christian" Workers' mission, 29 Washington ave nue S, has labored among the transient and slum population about Washing ton avenue S and Bridge Square. The mission was formed Oct. 2, 1887, and rented the hall which it has occupied ever since. The new movement was entirely without financial backing and adopted a resolution strange in the an nals of mission work-that it would not solicit support or money, but rely entirely upon voluntary contributions. For eighteen years the mission has stood, at times seemingly overwhelmed with debt, but never quite going under. Thru the darkest hours of its poverty William A. Petran, its general direc tor, and his associates have adhered to their resolution not to solicit money, and at every crisis support has come, often from some unexpected source. There has been no attempt to force the development of the mission or to make any extensions or enlargements except as the money was already on hand. "This," to quote from a report pub lished in the darkest days of the mis sion, "allows the work to expand only as fast as God wants it to, and does away with man's ambition to do great things that God has nothing to do with, whieh emanate from the flesh." No Salaried Officers. The mission employs no salaried of ficers, all the work being done by volunteers. It labors under the auspi ces of no denomination, but is auxiliary to all the evangelical churches and urges its converts to ally themselves with whatever church organization most appeals to them. Meetings are held in the hall every noon and night visitations are made at the jail, lock up, workhouse, hospitals, soldiers' home and from house to house open air meetings are held on the streets and at the state fair men are shel tered thru the cold winter nights and tracts are freely distributed. To carry on this work the, mission maintains, with its hall, a free read ing room and a tract depository, where are a complete line of tracts in Fng lish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Pol ish and Bohemian. Besides carrying a large stock of tracts from every re ligious publishing house, the mission now prints tracts of its own. The gos pel wagon, which is a familiar sight in the downtown streets, was purchased after years of patient saving and has proved a valuable adjunct to the work of the mission. When questioned in regard to the results obtained by the long years,of work Mr. Petran said: We can never know just what we have done until the final account is made up on the judgment day. We simply sow the seed. Some of it springs up in our sight and more bears fruit elsewhere. The men who come to our meetings aTe largely transients, here for a night and then they pass out of our sight." Remarkable Conversions. While the workers at the mission probably never see one-fourth of the work they do, the record of conver sions is a long and interesting one. Perhaps the most notable convert is John Callahan, the great prison evan gelist, who first came under the influ ence of the workers while he was a prisoner in the Hennepin county "jail. When he was released he came to one of the mission meetings and was there converted. His record since then is too well known to need recounting. One man who afterwards became a useful Christian citizen entered the hall in the preliminary stage of delirium tre mens and atempted tor throw himself from 'a window at the rear. Mr. Pe tran restrained him after a desperate struggle. Shortly after stealing an overcoat from a secondhand dealer at Waseca a man came to one of the meetings. He was deeply impressed and asked for prayers. Thru the mis sion he obtained work and earned the money to pay for the coat. He was not content with sending the money, but went himself and paid it to the astonished dealer. His Last Drink.

Among Unfortunate Men Christian Workers' Mission Has Been Tireless in^ts Efforts Among Transient and Slum Population About South Washington Avenue and Bridge SquareSup port or Money Has Never Been Solicited. ^fl j,*. ,3^ Petran is that concerning a man who had been attending the meetings for some time and who was finally per suaded that he wished to quit drinking and lead a sober Christian life. Bui, he lacked the courage necessary to make a public testimony of his change of heart. One evening when the strug gle between his conviction and his tim idity was particularly hard he left th* hall, entered a nearby saloon and dranlf his last glass of whisky. Under its stimulating influence he was able to rise to his feet before the assembly ani proclaim his conversion. He stayed con verted.

BOYS' DEPARTMENT COMMITTEE: G- Garrigues, L. H. Beeler, T. C. Scott. OFFICERS BOYS' 'CABINET- rS lcl \i President ST~ offlSf \T*TEKg chanes H. Aicock...:::::::::::::%& A Membership Hustler. At a recent meeting of the board of directors it was decided to give 25 per cent of all the money taken in on mem bership to the boys' building fund. Ev ery member brought in means $1.25 for the new building. This is a plan not only to increase the treasury budget, but also to increase the membership. The boys have been divided into two factions, the reds and the blues. is the aim of each faction to bring in the most members before Feb. 1. The side bringing in the most members before that time will be banqueted, providing they have brought in more than fifty members, and only those who have brought in ore member or more will be invited. The boys are trying hard to raise the remainder of their $1,000, and this plan was adopted because it would not only create in them a desire for a new build ing, but also an increased membership. A new building is an absolute neces sity. It becomes more evident day by day. There are more boys in the boys' department this year than ever before. It is expected that the five hundred mark will be reached before the close of the association year. The night school for boys that are employed during the day is overflow ing and all the gymnasium classes are larger than ever before. They do not want to stop the growth, however. The only remedy is a new building equipped to take care of all who come in. The game rooms are always overcrowded, and the only thing to be done is to work for a new building. B. C. Garrigues, J. S. PorteoUs snd B. C. Decker were appointed as a com mittee from the board of directors to raise money for the new.building. Fred erick Ware, Charles H. Aicock and George Akerson were appointed from the boys' cabinet for the same purpose, Sunday Meetings Popular. The Sunday afternoon meetings ar attended with a great deal of enthu siasm. About eighty younger boys at tended the opening meeting of the Boys' Sunday club. Last Sunday Eev. W. B. Eiley of the First Baptist church addressed the older boys on "Get Start ed Straight." Mr. Riley's address was in the nature of an evangelistic sermon, and at the close Mr. Morris sang "LKjrd, I'm Com ing Home," the song Mr. Butler, Mr. Chapman's soloist, sang so often dur ing the revival. A business meeting was held and offi cers elected for the ensuing three months. They are: George Akerson, president Ira Gorham, vicepresident, and George Wood, secretary and treas urer. This afternoon Mr. Eastman, the as sistant state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will talk to the older boys on "Fish- ing." All the boys of the department who have ever been to camp know who "Easty" is and will surely come and hear him, and it*is earnestly hoped that all boys who have never heard Mr. Eastman talk will grasp this splen did opportunity of hearing one of the best talkers to boys in the state. There will be special music. The time is 4:30 p.m., and the place is The Boys' House, 916 Mary place. Dee. 10, E. W. Peck, the state secretary, will talk to the older boys.
