"After an experience of thirty-eight years in this work I feel that I can be safely relied upon to judge of these mat ters. It gives me great pleasure to install and finish up such an organ as this, where everything about it is of the best, both in materials and workmanship. Results can be produced which will be a lasting pleasure to all who are in any way con cerned in the affair. It will be a monu ment to the credit of the builders, to the committee who purchased it and a beau tiful tribute to the up-building of Chris tianity when dedicated to the worship of cur Creator through Christ our Lord." -jt'jivriht l'7 l,y K.

The Pedal Bourdon is classed as a Flute tone. This organ is capable in the hands of a master of a great variety of combinations and is as large as any church of this present or prospective size will ever require. "The case is dark mahogany with full gold decorated front pipes and will be the most beautiful front in the state. "The pastor is certainly to be congrat ulated for the wisdom shown in selecting this particular action, as it is perfect in every way and less likely to get out cf order than any other action njw in use. The committee has shown its good judg ment, not only in its choice as to tonal ef fects and architectural beautv, but in purchasing from a firm whose business methods, integrity and guarantee can be accepted at their face value, which is not always the case with some vho,presume to build organs. As a matter of fact, a great many churches with which the writer has had business relations have found this out after it was too late. As a purely business proposition, no church today can ifford to be wi-hout an organ It adds to the solemnity cf the usual ser vices, and. as this is an of music, many lovers of the art iuc drawn to where they can gratify the.r U:.us in this particular. In any place where traveling men have to pass their Sabbaths they will invariably choose the place of wor ship where they can hear the best music. Churches are realizing this more fully the past few years than ever before, and for tunately, most any church today can have financial aid to the extent of at least one half the price of an organ by applying to Andrew Carnegie, as I have had ample opportunity to know, having erected otite a number of organs in churches where the people have availed themselves cf gifts from this source.

The local team was considerably strengthened by Vann Wilder of Ionia who came to help our boys out. A fairly good crowd wit nessed the game.

Smith Stanton has the job ex cavation and will also build the foundation on which the structure is to be placed. The new structure will be 65x30 feet and will serve the capacity of a church house. There will be two rooms 9x15 in front and a large room in the rearand a chancel room added to the building proper or in other words the body of the ohurch house. The new building will not be dedicated as a church but will be used by the society for services and various church entertain ments until such time as they are Ie, to build and consecrate a church. A rule of the church prohibits any thing of a secular nature being held in the church when in has once been consecrated to God and the society being a little small at the present time deems it expedient to build a church house for the present time and await the growth of the society to a time when it will be able to errect a build ing that can be consecrated and kept only for services of the church. An eight foot Basement, five foot in the ground and three above, will make a handy arrange ment for suppers and other functions of the church. The wik of construction will be pushed as rapidly as possible and the members of the society are recieving much encouragement from outside sources in a financial way that gives them much hope in the outcome. The Eureka M. E. Church building recently purchased, has been dismantled and brought to this city in good condition and will go into the construction, The silk tlty t ook Hook The Silk City Cook Book, which the ladies of the Congregational church are getting out, will be completed this month.
