The Hammond organ has no pipes, reeds or vibrating parts; its tones are created by electric impulses. The Redeemer Lutheran church, West Central avenue â€"will dedicate a new Hammond organ at the mornâ€" ing service at 10:30 o‘clock Sunday. At the service on Sunday mornâ€" ing Mr. Harry Eichler, the regular organist of the church, will preside at the old organ during the singing of the first hymn. Then follows the ritual of dedicating the new organ by scripture reading and prayer to the worship of God, whereupon the new organ will be used for the rest of the service. Miss Gertrude Bailey, organist of the Hammond Studios :I‘gChicazo, will be the guest orâ€" ist. â€" The Juniorâ€"choir willâ€"sing appropriate numbers. The funds for the new ~organ were raised by voluntary subscripâ€" tion from all the members of the church and the congregation takes great pride in announcing that practically the whole sum has been realized in â€" cash donations and pledges. x Sormetime after the holidays an organ recital will be â€"given byâ€"a competent organist for the benefit of nonâ€"members who can not attend this service. â€" Mrs. Lloyd Faxon of= Winnetka| â€"William M.
