Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1906 — M. P. CHURCH DEDICATION. [ARTICLE]

M. P. CHURCH DEDICATION.

Friday night, Rev. B. F. Ferguson preached an able sermon, subject, “The World vs. the Church.” Saturday night, Capt. Payne, of Monticello, preached a soul-stirring sermon, subject, “Robbing God.” Rev. W. W. Lineberry, D. D., of Plymouth, preached Sunday morning and night. The Rose Bud Choir rendered enjoyable music at the forenoon session. Sunday afternoon Dr. Lineberry gave a short address on the “proposed union between the U. 8., Congregational and M. P. churches.” Rev. Mr. Clark, of Rensselaer, gave a short fraternal talk that was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Ivy Pullins sang a solo that was greatly appreciated. Two hundred and twelve dollars was raised on the church debt. The Methodist Protestant church is not an adventure nor an experiment; they number over 200,000 in the United States. In the state of Maryland there are more M. P. churches than all others put together. The same may be said of Grant county, Ind. The First M. P. church, of • Rensselaer, has come to stay, not to supplant other churches. If everyone in Rensselaer was already a Christian, such would not be the case, but there are many unsaved souls in the city, therefore it has a field for labor. You are welcome to all these services and may attend with the assurance that you will be comfortably situated while there, for the church now has beautiful and comfortable pews. There will be Sunday School Sunday, 10:00 a. m., and preaching, 7:30 p. m. * Duvall & Lundy will carry the finest line of clothing made. No other will compare with these lines. The famous Hush, Wickwire & Co. and David Adler & Sons, the Collegian clothes for men and young men.
