Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 83, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 April 1912 — Christian Church. [ARTICLE]

Christian Church.

A great audience, a glorious service and a grand finale, will in a measure, be descriptive of the services held in the Christian church Wednesday night. The “Holy Spirit” was the subject, and the manner of presenting same was convincing and “converting the souls” of many. Prof. Tuckerman has had a large cross made and hung over the choir. The cross is covered with material which, when the lights are turned on inside the cross, cause the crpsa to stand oat in bold relief, and castß a soft glow over the audience. This manner of presenting the “Cross of Christ” is new and unique and lends a charm never experienced here before, to the singing of that splendid hymn: “The Way of the Cross Leads Home.” The ordinance of baptism was administered last night and was made very Impressive by the rich mellow rays from the covered cross, which fell upon the open pool. The ordinance of baptism* will be administered tonight St the close of the preaching service. Bible drill for the children every afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The song service will begin promptly at 7:30 o’clock tonight. A cordial invitation is extended to every one to share with us in thiß feast of spiritual blessings.
