A New baptist Church Established Mt
Rockville Centre, Long Island.
The movement for new Baptist church in
Rockville Centre, to be governed in accordance
with the tenets OF the "Open Communicates" has
assumed definite shape, and although it is not yet
certain that the Rev. II. o. Pentecost will accept
the pastorshp, there appears to be doubt
that the church will be established. The
friends OF Mr.. Pentecost, with others that
sympathize with him in the stand that he
has recently taken, have secured the Institute
Hall, and regular services are held there every
Sabbath at hafpast ten A. N. and eight

made to the Executive Committee Of the Bap-

a Christian OF another denomination to par
take OF communion or his church would be

Mr. PentecOst did not feel justified in declaring

will hold himself free from all other engagements.
