DeolCaClOn at MlllbOrO, Va.-The noble
work in which the people of Millboro have been
engaged for some months was completed about
the 1st of October. They have succeeded in
erecting beautiful Gothic church. The cost
of this neat edifce exclusive of bell chandeliers
and stoves, which were given by kind friends,
reaches little more than two thousand dollars.
Of this amount about 81 200 had been already
subscribed in our little village-an earnest of
the zeal and determination of people in this good
cause The dedicatory services commenced on
Friday, 2lst, DIR. F. P. Mutually being present
and delivering series of excellent sern ons.
Sunday morning, despite the short notice given,
the church was crowded and about $50 persons
awaited the hour for services. Rev. S. Brown
opened with the invocation. This aged servant
OF Christ was for years the beloved pastor of
WINDY Cove, and it must be with delight that
he witnesses her growth and rapid develop
ment. The dedcatory sermon by DIR. Null
lally was preached from Phil. iii 8. In a
forceable style, commanding the attention of
the whole audience, the excellency of the
knowledge of Christ was set forth. All other
knowledge was naught as we listened to the
preacher portray the object, the effects, and the
certainty of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
Rev. a. h. Cocke the pastor then offered the
dedlcatory prayer. A collection was taken up
which resulted in 5000 towards the liquidation
OF the debt. We doubt not that the Holy
GHOST has led our people to this Offering unto
the Lord and that God will now bless them
with a-fuller measure of that Spirit.
The new church is an evidence of the rapid
advancement of the village morally, and the
recently established Millboro Institute, under
Principal K. G. Anderson, of its social
