Singing "Coronation;" Reading of the Scrip
tures, by Rev. DR.. Smaller; Statement of the
efforts made and the obstacles overcome in the
work of rebuilding the church, by Rev. Mr..

Benediction, by Rev. DR.. Carruthers.
The church is very reat one, built of brick,
with vestry in the second story of the front
part of the building The audience room is
painted in fresco, with inscriptions on shields
also painted in fresco Over the pulpit is
painted an anchor with the inscription, (Which
hope we have as an anchor of the soul, sure
and steadfast." Settles are used instead OF
pews. vslr..v4sr. ssy
This Bethel is to be a free house of worship,
more especially sailors snug harbor, for the
use of the maritime portion of the community,
and it is the first church, excepting the Catho-
lie, that has been completely rebuilt since the
great fire.
The building has cost about $40 600; of which
all but about 5000, still owed, has been received
from the assurances and subscriptions. Most
of the latter have been given by parties out of
the city, to whom the trustees rendered their
thanks through the pastor 49,. ..-,,- ,,.f
In this work of rebuilding the Bethel too
much praise cannot be awarded to the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Southworth, who from the day it
was destroyed, has been indefatigab!e in bis
exertions for its re-erection-taking hold and
cleaning the old bricks almost before they had
cooled, and collecting subscriptions for the re-
building He has his reward in seeing the
completion and dedication of this neat church
edifice. Long may he preside over it as pastor
