Dedication of the New Organ in the Moravian Church
The Moravian Church in this place dedicated its new organ after the old instrument of over a century was removed. Rev. H A Brickenstein led the dedication. Rev. D C Tobias preached on Psalm 100:4, urging thanksgiving and praise to God. Mr T Wolle from Bethlehem played a voluntary, while Mr Wolfe displayed notable skill. An English sermon by Rev. Tobias followed, on the transfiguration of Christ, from Matthew 17:1-9. The event closed as a memorable dedication for all present.
