The new home for old people, this time for those of the Swedish population, was dedicated yesterday. It is located in Ravenswood, a very nice suburb, and was built by the Swedish Methodists. Bethany Home is its name.

Rev. Alfred Anderson, the pastor of the Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church, Chicago district, officiated at the dedication ceremonies under the open sky, although the weather was very unfavorable.

The bishop spoke on the topic, "Charity for the Aged," and after a very impressive sermon, he proceeded with the dedicatory ceremonies. Dr. C. E. Mandeville and others, also addressed the audience.

The festivities continued in a neighboring church. Rev. H. G. Jackson, and Professor A. Erickson of Evanston were chief speakers. The occasion was enhanced by performances by church choirs.

Bethany Home is a three-story building with a basement, and is located on Paulina Street, just north of Lawrence Avenue in Ravenswood. The site was purchased for $13,000, and about $20,000 was spent for the erection of the building. The interior lay-outs and furnishings are arranged in accordance with the requirements of comfort and sanitation. The rooms for the aged are attractively furnished.
