   Last Sunday was an important day for the
Swedish Lutheran congregation in the town of
Vega. Their beautiful new church was then
dedicated to the worship of God in the presence
of a large gathering of people. Rev. James Moody,
of St. Hilaire, preached an impressive sermon
in the forenoon. The kind ladies of the congre-
gation served a sumptuous dinner at the church,
and they allowed no visitor to get away hungry.
In the afternoon, Rev. J. Fremling, vice
president of the Minnesota conference preached
the dedicatory sermon. Dr. Norelius, who was
expected to be there on that occasion could
not come. It was the biggest gathering of 
Swedes ever seen in Vega, and the church could
not hold them all. The congregation is to be
congratulated upon the completion and dedication
of their handsome church, which can be seen
for many miles around on the beautiful prairie,
pointing its tall spire heavenward.
