The above is the code. The format of the article is like this. The first line is the article title, then the name of the article, and then the abstract. I was intended to add the dedication line between the name and the abstract, with a small font probably. Could anyone help me with this please? Your time and attention is greatly appreciated.

Maybe this. What I mainly did was move \maketitle before the abstract environment. In that way, I could insert the dedication prior to the abstract while letting it remain after the \maketitle. I set the dedication in its own group, centered, at a reduced font size.

EDITED to convert \bf and \em to modern LaTeX equivalents.
