NEW CHURCH
DEDICATION OF PEALE MEMORIAL
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
LAST 8UNDAY.
Sunday, May 15tJ», the Peaie Me-,
mortal Presbyterian church at Penn
was formally dedicated to the worship
of Almighty God under circumstances
of very great favor, notwithstanding
the fact that the weather was some
what threatening. The earliest relig
ious services In that community were
held at, the McLain echoolhouse, later
at the Gill school l^ouse. both located
southwest of the town.
The first services in Penn, in the
English tongue, were conducted -by
Rev. J. T. L. Coates on January 24th,
1904. The day proved to be very cold,
the coldest but one of the winter, and
registered 46 degrees below zero.
Twelve persons wene present and hud
dled around the stove in the old school
house the first service was conducted.
From that" time Mr. Coats supplied
the people with preaching services
once a month.
.On the 15tb of May the same year
Mr. John Rogers Peale, a student in
the Prlncton Theological Seminary,
Princeton, N. J., took charge of the
work at Penn ancT Webster for th'e
summer months. On„the 24th of Jtaly
1904 the First Presbyterian church of
Penn was organized with nine char
ter members. In the autumn of the
pame year Mr. Peale returned to the
Seminary to complete his theological
course, which he accomplished in the
spring'of 1905. Late in August, 1905,
Mr. Peale accompanied 'by hls wife
sailed for lien Chow,^ China, under
commission of the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions. They arrived
at. their destination on the 27th, of
October, and on the day following dur
ing an uprising of turbulent "Boxers"
"tjreye* together with three other. mis
sionaries suffered' martyrdom.

Minnewau^an there was a re­
quest presented from the First Pres
byterian church at Penn to change
their name to' the Peale Memorial
Presbyterian church, after their first
minister, and the request was granted.
The influence of the splendid young
man who lived and worked among the
people at Penn will never be fully
known this side of eternity. Today
his memory is a benediction in the
community.
Having determined to construct a
building in which to worship, the con
tract was let late in the fall of 1905 to
Gessner Brothers. The foundation was
constructed during 1906, and the su-

perstructure was began In 1907.
After many delayB the building was
completed In the summer of, 1909.
The building Is commodious, batting
a full basement which win be fitted
up at a later time the audienee room
is of good size and with the prayer
meeting room at the rear *111 seat
200 people oomfoitably. The room is
well lighted -with large windows neat
ly curtained, and the walls arcs very
nicely decorated. The seating Is with
chairs.
It is a coincident that In the setting
of the day for the dedication, while it
was no so planned, the date chosen
proved to be the sixth anniversary of
Mr. Peale's first_ sermon at Penn The
services occupied the entire day. In
the morning at 10:30 the sermon of
dedication was preached by fier. J. T.
L. Coates, who used as his theme,
"The Silent Architect." 1 Kings VI: 7.
After the sennon Rev. Arthur G. Bai
ley the minister in charge of the field
conducted the dedication service. One
of the most pleasing features of &e
dedication was the fact that the peo
ple had so well attended to the fin
ances that It was not necessary to ask
for subscriptions to provide for an in
debtedness, a feature which
many dedication service. At the close
of the morning worship the basket
dinner provided was served In the Sky

At 2 o'clock the people again as
sembled at the church for the service
of Congratulation and Communion/ A
brief history of the organization and
building enterprise was presented by
Rev. Mr. Bailey, who also paid a fit
ting tribute to the life and consecra
tion of Mr. Peale. Rev. Mr. Coates
then extended congratulations to the
people for their energy In building and
for the success with which they had
completed the beautiful house that
had been dedicated free of debt Chil
dren to the number of six wene then
prsented by their parents for baptism,
which sacrament was administered by
the pastor, A. G. Bailey. The Sacra
ment of the Lord's Supper was then
celebrated, Elders J. A. Haig and H. S.
Poage assisting.
The evening service was heid at
7:30 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Coates again
preaching.
The services were all largely attend
ed notwithstanding the threatening
character of the day, and all felt that
it was one of the best days in the his
tory of the town of Penn.
-A -number -of people- from out .of
town were in attendance at the ser
vices, among these were Mr. and Mrs.
Alex. McLain and son Arthur, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Webster, Mrs. Walker, Mrs:
A. G. Bailey and daughter Frances,
and Messers Poage, J. A. Haig and J.
S. Shannon.
OBITUARY
One of the' saddest occurrences in
the community of Cleveland township
was the death of Mrs. John A. G. Dah
len, on Monday, May 9, at 1:30. A. M.
The deceased was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Lars Aaberg, Dec. 16, 1877 at
RuShford, Minn., and when about ten
years of age she moved with the fam
ily to Ramsey county and settled in
Cato township. On January 23, 1896
she was married to John A. G. Dah
len then a prosperous young farmer
of Cleveland township. Their married
life was a very happy one and eight
children were born to bless their un
ion.
A baby girl was heralded with glad
ness on Wednesday, April 24 but their
joy was soon changed to anxiety for
the young mother when the dread di
sease, puerperal fever set it. .Medical
aid was summoned at once, a trained
nurse engaged and everything possible
to reliev the Intense pain of the suf
ferer and keep the spark of life burn
ing, was done. A consultation was
held on Wednesday, "May 4, aftes
which a distinct change for the bet
ter, ah, but it was only a false hope,
only a brief respite for on Friday
morning her condition was as critical
as ever, and the strong frame made
.weak with the ravages of fever was
declining fast She steadily became
weaker until on Sunday, the physician
who was in attendance gave the an
xious husband and parents no more
hope, and she passed away amid her
sorrowing relatives, and friends in the
flower of her youth .just when of all
times she was most needed.
In all charitable and social func^
tions Mrs. Dahlen always took an ac
tive part and her home was often the
scene of the keenest enjoyment, for
through her cheerful and hospitable
manner she made many an afternoon
and evening a source of pleasure to
her guests.
The funeral took place Thursday
from the house at 1:30 P. M. ~,'a
Quantities of flowers arranged
