Dedication at West EnOsburgh,

The dedication service OF the new M. E.
church at West Enosburgh opened at P.
n, on Wednesday, September 9th. The
day was beautiful. The congregation was
large, (many being present from out of
town. and the exercises interesting
throughout. The sermon was preached
by Rev. r. Morgan, from Acts S97.-I
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Suffice it to say, the sermon was creditable
to the occasion. The music was by the
choir of the church, under the especial
leadership of Mr.. Henry Fassett. The
floral display about the pulpit was beauti-
full. The following ministers assisted in
the serv ices: Rev. VIM. Roberts, A. B.
Swift, resident Congregational pastor;
Wm. C. Robinson of Hardwick, VIM. r.
Puffer, G. w. H. CT ark, w. H. Hyde, c.
Wedgeworth, w. D. Malcolm, P. Merrill.
The church was presented free from
debt by G. S. McAllister, one of the older
members of the board of stewards. About
$2S0000 have been expended in the
rebuilding of the house. The building is
all new with the exception of the frame of
the old building, with twenty-five feet
additional in the rear. 1t is now one of
the most convenient and pretty churches
of the district. 1t is warmed by a furnace
from underneath. The audience room is
81 by 40 feet, finished in brown ash and
black walnut. The orchestra is an eleva-
ton of 16 inches on the lett of the pulpit
from the entrance. The windows are of
figured glass. The frescoeing. which is an
attractive feature of the room, was done
| by Chas. Andrus, and reflects much credit
upon him as aworkman of superior ability
! and taste.
In the rear of the audience room is
vestry and small parlor. The work has
all been done by experienced workmen.
and from excellent material Much credit
is due the people for their perseverance
and self sacrifice, in carrying the enter
prise to so successful completion.
The service of the evening was a
reunion of former pastors at P. NJ.
After the introduction service, which was
conducted by Rev. W. R. Puffer, the pas
tor called to the altar nine young persons,
fruits of a revival last winter, and received
them into full membership of the church.
Following this, short addresses were made
by Revs. w. H. Hyde, W. r. Puffer, VIM.
C. Robinson, R. Morgan, G. Wedgeworth,
VIM. N. Roberts. and H. Bushn ell. These
addresses brought out many incidents and
experiences, (some of them very touching)
in the history of these pastorates. This
service will be rem! embered with much
pleasure by many who were present.
Thursday, at 9 A. NJ, the district minis
terial association held meeting. Inter-
esting papers were read by Rev. P. Mer-
rill C. Wedgeworth, c. Robinson, and
S. Donaldson. These papers with oriti-
cisms and discussions consumed the entire
day.
In tho evening, w. D. Malcom preached
to fair audience, a strong sermon from
I. Cor. 9:l6-l7. Thus ended two pleas.
ant and profitable days. Several ministers
whose names have not appeared in this
report were present. among whom were
S. c. Vail, G. F. Kimball, H. J. Moore
and others.
