NEW CHAPEL TO BE BUILT AT BRIGHT
WOOD. during the war the Methodist Episco-
pal Chapel at Brightwood. ID. O., was torn
down by the Government. and the bricks used |
in the construction of Fort Stevens, which was
built on the site. The authorizes promised to
pay for the materials, but the congregation
have not up TO this time received one cent from
the Government The residents in that
neighborhood have, nevertheless, determined
that the Chapel shall De rebuilt in
elegant style, and at meeting on Friday night |
following Building Committee was appointed.
Alex. X. Shepherd, Chairman: Enos Raw.
Treasurer; Matthew e. Emory, ]. w. Barker,
Alfred Ray, Archibald White, and ]. c. Nc.
Cfesney.
The new chapel is designed TO be a neat aud
tasteful structure, and will be erected on tina |
size OF Fort Stevens, AMI thus the locality
which little more than four years ago was
the scene of conflict will again resound with
the praises Of Him Whose mission
was "peace on earth" The site, the
and picturesque, and commands a fine
view OF this city and the surrounding
country. The Government ought, in Justice,
TO reimburse the congregation for a portion at
least, of the cost of the new building, and we
do not see why il cannot be done In this case,
as IL has been In others. Our citizens at least
can aid in this worthy enterprise, and we have
no doubt they will do 80.
