For a New Church Edifice.
A commendable movement
lias been inaugurated by the
pastor and members of the
Methodist congregation of this
place for the erection of larger
and more modern house of
worship. We are proud to
state that the spiritual devel/

more than keeping pace with
its temporal advancement, so
much so that a larger and
more roomy edifice in which
this congregation may wor-
ship, is boidering 011 a neces-
sity. The good people of this
community have never been
known to fail to meet
emergency which has ever j
arisen in their midst, and we
feel assured that this worthy
movement will receive their
moral support and substantial
aid.
