Transforming Power of the Gospel,"
and was an Incisive Interpretation of
the changing influence of religion on
the individual.
Following the dedicatory sermon
the pastor. Rev. R. E. Hough, form
ally dedicated the church, to the
glory of God and to the good of the
people and Rev. John A. Smith, syn
odlcal evangelist,' made the dedica
tory' prayers. " '
