her brother, an eminent New York architect, 

 for the use of our guests and for the neigh- 

 borhood white people, for there was no other 

 church for miles around. It seats lOO per- 

 sons and it is not yet dedicated, but it will ever 

 be known as "Luola's Chapel." 



Her last gift was another beautiful church 

 for the colored people of Orton and their 

 friends, which seats no persons. This was 

 recently filled on its dedication to the worship 

 and glory of God by the celebrated evangelist. 

 Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, who with his 

 party were guests at Orton. The scene of 

 this beautiful service, which touched the hearts 

 of all present, will live in their memory as 

 long as life lasts. In solemmly dedicating the 

 gift of one of His saints who had recently 

 been called to the "house not made with 

 hands," the eloquent preacher earnestly ad- 

 monished those present to take heed lest they 

 defile by sinful thoughts this sacred building; 

 and, said he, "The dedication of this church 

 cannot be complete unless you also dedicate 

 yourselves to the Master's service." Imme- 

 diately, as by a common impulse, every colored 

 person present came forward and kneeled in 

 a semicircle before the minister and solemnlv 

 took the vow of allegiance to the King of 

 Saints. The gentle spirit of the giver seemed 

 to abide with us that day.
