Boston, May 4.—The new Tremont Temple, the largest and most magnificent Baptist house of worship in New England, was thronged all day yesterday and last evening, it being the opening of the week of dedication. In the course of his dedicatory sermon, the pastor, Rev. Dr. George C. Lorimer, announced that the building and appointments had cost $510,000, and this, with the value of the land upon which the temple was erected, brought the value of the property to over $1,000,000. The service opened with a doxology, followed by the Invocation, which was asked by Rev. Dr. William Howe. Dr. Lorimer then led in a responsive reading, entitled, "God and His Temple." Rev. A. J. Rowland, D.D., of Philadelphia, read Psalm cxxxi. The statement of the chairman of the building committee was read, after which Rev. J. N. Murdock made the dedicatory prayer. The musical portion of the service was superbly conducted, and was very beautiful. The exercises will continue throughout the coming week.
